    Headed from Austin to Albuquerque via west Texas - Looking for dive locations

    Memorial day weekend and beyond you better get to Balmorhea State Park early on the weekends. They close the gates when the parking lot is full and that happens pretty early in the day. Take lunch because if you leave you don't get back in until someone else leaves... and there will be a long...

    Suggestion request for a new "Dive Software" sub forum

    Yes! It could be a good place to find out about all the different scuba applications out there.

    Video editing - android tablet or windows laptop

    Tablet would be way too slow. Is there even a video editing app for Android?

    Valhalla Missile Silo / Family Scuba Center still open?

    I was very impressed with Mark's knowledge about the history of the silo. We got the guided tour and really enjoyed it. The diving: it is a long walk down a lot of stairs with your gear to get to the water (and back up after the dive). The Silo is ... well, it's a 60' diameter concrete tube...

    Valhalla Missile Silo / Family Scuba Center still open?

    The store is closed but you can still reach Mark or Linda to find out how to make arrangements to dive Valhalla. I believe it has to be a dive shop group that makes the reservations and arrangements.

    How come gear prices are all over the place?

    The mixed price with the online sellers could be that they are authorized dealers for some equipment and must advertise at MAP which is the same price you LDS can advertise if they so choose.

    PADI E-Learning

    I'm an independent PADI instructor. You have to buy an eLearning gift pass then provide the information to your student. When the student uses the certificate that you provided you get the credit from PADI. It has been a while since I have sold one but I think independent instructors get like...

    Torrid Pulse is here!

    That looks like a really fun toy! It looks like it might be an air hog though.

    Funniest Diving quotes you have heard

    I had a woman call wanting to get herself and her husband open water certified. They were going on a cruise and wanted to do the two tank excursion in Roatan. I said no problem, I can get you certified. Then she asks if they learned to dive with 2 tanks in the class. I had a hard time not...

    How long until your C-card arrived?

    PADI Certifications that I have been submitting this year (PIC Online) have been coming back in about 7 days, 10 days at the most. If they are still using paper PIC's then I have no idea how long it takes. Did they have the card shipped to you or to the shop? It may be sitting at the shop.

    Tank Fills

    They fill your tanks until they leak??? Where is the leak coming from? I don't think that is possible unless the burst disc ruptured then they would have to replace it for the tank to hold air at all. Now if it is the compressor shutting down and bleeding air, that is different. 3400 isn't...

    What is the life of a "dive bum" like ?

    "Does This Island Go to the Bottom" is an entertaining read about one man's life as a scuba instructor in the Caribbean. Link It is supposed to be a true story about the years he spent in the islands. After reading the book, I'm thinking that I am way too old for that lifestyle.

    Waterproof W30 2.5 MM

    I just bought one but I have only tried it out in the pool a couple of times. It is really easy to get into and out of, plenty of stretch and flex. My only problem with it is the wrists are a bit big and my wrists are normal for my size. Water flows up the arms pretty freely. It fits like a...

    Scubamax BCD's

    I've used the 5000's in my training for the past 5 years. I have not had any problems with them at all. Students are rough on equipment and these BCD's have taken it all and still look and function like new. The biggest issue I have is the weight pockets have a very specific insertion...

    Certified in Central Texas... What was I thinking?

    Welcome Brooke. We'll get some diving in when the water warms up again. Hopefully we will get some rain and the lakes will fill up a bit. After Bonaire and Cozumel you will REALLY enjoy Texas lake diving. haha

    Going Hog Wild: The best party at DEMA was at the Hog and Heifers Saloon, Las Vegas

    I was neither hungry or anywhere close to sober when I left that party. I'm thankful for the cab drivers in Vegas.
