    Help with set-up of BP/W and long hose

    It was relatively speedy for me just now :) Checked out the site, no webbing suitable for a bp/w. I already have a set but was hoping to find a place to buy the webbing locally. I did find a shop in Berkeley that says they sell a selection of webbing, Narain's. Probably will head out there soon...

    Help with set-up of BP/W and long hose

    I have a similiar question, but in the east bay area instead. SJ is kind of a pain for me to get to so anywhere that I can reach via BART is good. I think I'll probably need some webbing too because the previous owner was pretty tiny but not sure what shops up in the bay area would have it. ASW...

    tank shipping?

    Amtrak still provides cargo shipping services - more information here. I've used Amtrak cargo before to send a decent amount of packages from west coast to east coast and vice versa at once. It's very easy to do and the prices are really reasonable as they don't charge by how many packages you...

    Online/e-learning courses with captioning

    Thanks for the offer, but this isn't what interpreters do, captioning is a different thing entirely. I could hire an interpreter to interpret the whole e-learning thing but it'd be very expensive and kind of a waste of money when existing captions (like PADI and NAUI have) will do the job...

    Kudos to Scubatoys and Zeagle!

    Might as well give props to Scubatoys here too for a recent order - I just bought a dive computer for a great deal after asking some questions about it via email but when it got to me, there was a low battery indicator and the light wasn't working so I shot the an email. They responded really...

    Chumphon Pinnacle

    It's very far from Koh Samui so diving from Koh Tao would be easier if you wanted to go more than once (it's a great site, saw a whale shark there!). Dive ops in Koh Tao go there regularly and some ops allow you to make requests for where you want to go if you let them know in advance (Big Blue...

    Singles Wing

    I'm going to buy the Hog 32 lb wing if I can't find an used one but I'll try for a week or so first. I know they rarely pop up for sale but can't hurt to try :D

    Singles Wing

    Yeah, I definitely don't want 45 lbs of lift, that's way more than I need. But that is a good deal for those who need bigger wings!

    Singles Wing

    Looking for a singles wing with around 25-32 lbs of lift. It needs to have slots for cam bands too as I don't have a STA. Prefer to not pay more than 150 shipped to 94595 but I'll look at all offers :)

    Is it worth it?

    Regarding the fins thing, just do what the boat tells you to do. The ones I've dived on has never had ladders designed for fins so I've always had to take them off before climbing on even when the water was rough. You might want to keep your fins on but if the ladder isn't designed for fins, I...

    Have you ever noticed that the new wetsuit styles look a lot like Star Trek Uniforms?

    Just add a comm and you've got a medical/science Starfleet uniform from Voyager/DS9.

    Couple of queries on DAN insurance.

    I've used World Nomads before for longer trips, it works anywhere outside of your home country. I haven't really found anything better in travel insurance for long-term travelers.

    Online/e-learning courses with captioning

    I'm deaf so I'd like to know in advance which certification agencies and the like have captioning for their online content. I recently bought a computer and was given a free NAUI e-Learning course and the site says they have some sort of real-time captioning workaround which looks great but what...

    DIR gear rental

    Will ask my instructor when I enroll in a course but I just want to make sure that I still can get the gear to do the course if they don't have anything to lend me :) Oh hey, that's a pretty good deal but I think I'd prefer to rent for now until I figure out what I want.

    DIR gear rental

    Only if I could afford both the course and gear at this time :( Just heard back from Any Water Sports and they have DIR gear for rental!

    DIR gear rental

    I looked at the site but didn't see BP/Ws as an option for rentals but I'll email him later to ask about one. Will email you too when I can :)

    DIR gear rental

    So I'm looking into taking a GUE fundies course or trying to arrange a GUE primer course but as I'm a newish diver, I don't really own a lot of gear yet so I'd have to rent the bulk of it to take a class. I've been googling for places where I could rent a BP/W and other assorted gear that I'd...

    To weight or not to weight

    I don't add air to my BC underwater either, I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. I've heard both but my buoyancy seems good. I can't dive again for a bit but when I hovered, I only had to move my fins a little side-to-side so the current won't sweep me away. I can descend without too...
