    Wife is sometimes a bad buddy

    You have described her as "freaking and bolting to the surface" a number of times now in various situations. That is pretty poor situation management on her part. I would be concerned that were she to face a different or frightening situation out in the ocean she would react with the typical...

    Wife is sometimes a bad buddy

    I was going to let these two comments slide, but just couldn't. Would you say something like that to this guys face? If you were at a party and someone asked this question would you tell them to their face that their wife should leave them? If you would then I bet you get into a lot of...

    Oxygen, is it really all that important?

    I just love father government. The coast guard doesn't need it (or even need to step on the gas when your in need of it) so you should carry it to be safe. Oops! Forgot to tell you, you *CAN'T* carry it. You might do something bad or something you shouldn't do with it. Can't run the risk...

    wetsuit fit, thickness questions

    Hi John! If you mean friday, when I was there with my friend and my wife, then yes I remember :) Maybe I'll run into tonight. I'll have to try some suits on at the shop but from what I have seen so far I just don't have the chest meat to fill out off the rack suits. Hopefully I'll be proven...

    200 yard surface swim..

    Our class is only 4 students which is great. Lots more time with the instructor. One thing about the lady that said her husband was thin and light. The advantage is when he is diving he is going to most likely wear a nice thick exposure suit (like I do) so if something does happen he can...

    Oxygen, is it really all that important?

    Is it possible to rent O2 bottles while on vacation? This would seem like a darn good idea if your trip involved a lot of shore diving (bonaire, etc). Ben

    wetsuit fit, thickness questions

    I am new to diver and so far have tried 3 different rental suits (all in 78deg water). 3 mil shorty, 3 mil fullsize, and a 3 mil farmer john with a shorty over top. I freeze in all three! I've noticed every one of them flushes cold water through the neck seal into the chest though (and thats...

    Future Innovations in Scuba Gear?!

    You mention aquaculture. I used to have a salt-water aquarium and was impressed with the huge conservation effort going on with ecologically minded "reefers". All of my corals and all but one of my fish was captive-grown / captive born. The scientific community is learn alot about coral...

    "buy equipment here" speech in OW first class!

    I just wanted to take a moment to say how happy I am with the shop I'm going too. Ya, its a bit more expensive then the internet shops (but seems to be cheaper then some local shops I called a few days ago) but man the service is excellent. The owner found this thread and was very polite and...

    Internet gear question

    Excellent idea. It was the FIRST thing I tried. I've done that a number of times for camera gear and the local store will usually work hard to match or get close to those prices. Sadly the LDS had no interest in that. I got 10$ off a 190$ set of fins, but they said they can't lower their...

    Laptops

    It gets crazy too. As a pro-photog I carried WAY to much crap on that plane to Hawaii last month. You would think I was moving there. Ben

    "buy equipment here" speech in OW first class!

    Interesting that you say that. How about 275$ plus 175$ OW checkout fee? How about the cheapest BC costing over 500$? How about a low-end 3mm being "not that costly.. its less than 300$"? At least now I see how the owner can afford a 1-2 week dive trip every other month! Obviously the...

    PhotoShop CS2 and RAW

    I found a couple of ebooks on the subject. One was photoshop cs2 for digital photographers. Its also available in print. I have the PSCS1 version in print as well. Another good book (after they update it for CS2) is "Adobe Camera Raw". Also, check out the forums on www.dpreview.com You...

    "buy equipment here" speech in OW first class!

    I will probably have to for on-going training. It depends on how much he balks when I walk in with a few pieces of that Zeagle "crap". ;) Ben

    "buy equipment here" speech in OW first class!

    True true, I just really felt like I signed up and *paid* for a teaching class, please leave the sales speeches out. And don't get me wrong, I like the instructor and he is very friendly. Of course you have to understand, when I worked for best buy years ago as a PC tech they pushed me out on...
