Hi All Just getting reacquainted with the board after a substantial haitus! Remora

Thanks all! I've been extremely busy with courses and just plain ole diving. Not alot of time for the keyboard when the boat she's a callin! Conditions have been outstanding for the east coast of Canada and we are taking full advantage of it. Had to take a little poke Mario, just to see...

Not sure if I've spelled his name correctly, however I met Mr Carl Brasheir in Norfolk last fall while he was promoting his book . A very quite unassuming man. It was not until I had read his book and then seen the movie "Men of Honour" that I realized just who I had been so casually talking to...

Never assume that the DM who is assisting you Demo the buddy check has not turned your air off before you demonstrate that giant stride! Turn your cell phone off before zipping inside your drysuit, it gets rather annoying at 70'! A blank stare with a I dunno expression will keep your buddy...

Hi Folks! After a long absence I have returned. It's good to see the gang is still all here! Warhammer: any news on the patent for the WHM!(BTW, that's when the monitor janitor was hired, that still cracks me up!) Mario: good to see you still have the same sense of humour! (BTW still...

Hi Joewr! Been awhile since I've been able to post to the board. I see there are a few new moderators in town! Congrats! Look forward to being here a little more often. Cheers!

OMG!!! Someone call the monitor janitor... it's dripping with fresh sprayed coffee!! Before you do what!!! Slow down there cowboy...going from the Open Water course to diving a deep wreck like the Doria takes time,training and experience...lots of it!

Hi Folks Been awhile since I've been on the board. Good to see the gangs all here! I think the issue of putting deco information on rec tables is nicely put by Sub M. If they can't a. plan the dive, dive the plan b. moniter their air c. make the decision to ascend in an informed and...

Welcome Welcome Welcome Don, you will find lots of very good advice and humour on this board. If you have any questions don't be shy. Let us know how the course goes!

OK, OK I'am really not one to pass on 3rd party info but I just can't get over this one. A couple who are presently enrolled in an O/W class with me related their DSD experience. I'am not sure what agency and really it matters not because NO agency would sit by and allow this to go on...

Pam Where ever, take me with you pllleeasse take me with you, I can cook, clean (well maybe not)instruct, drive boats, run compressors ect ect ect. TOBAGO would be my choice.

King, You have such a way with words! I have been a member of this board since December and have enjoyed the threads,casual banter and humour. I have not received one piece of unsolicited mail from this board, and fully support the Kings crusade. Spammers need to be identified and...

Deep Sea your story about you and your buddy has got to be the best I've heard in a while!! I have a coupla experiences of my own to relate. Just between us right!! :) The first takes place on a picture perfect day about 6 miles off shore with a boat full of hard core techies. On this boat...

Congrats Nathan! I'am havin a Keith's right now to celebrate!

Hi John If it is a PADI affiliated org you are probably looking at the Discover Scuba Diving program. As with any scuba course you must be comfortable with the instr. If it looks as though he/she has that assembly line worker gaze and canned responses to any questions you may have, stay...

Hey Folks! Mr G Irvine and WKKP have repeatedly accomplished some remarkable dives, with no fatalities. It only stands to reason that they must be doing something right! I do not agree with the near fanatical methods of endorsing the DIR principals, but have taken alot of their methods and...

Improper breathing techniques usually lead to headaches due to excessive carbon dioxide build up in the dead air spaces.

Hey Don I know you are very intelligent (just by reading your posts) but did you know people with your affliction tend to border on the genius!! Having said that anyone could "cover up" by creating a profile!! No amount of Warhammer posturing (mental image) :( will save you from this one...

Hi Guys It seems that 131's have the most reported cases of premature pitting. Although DIR advocates no boots and such I prefer (as do most divers) to be able to stand these puppies up for short periods of time. All tank manufacturers advocate boot/band removal after "every" dive which for...

Yep Pedals don't work worth a damn, so your buddy has to push a bit :). Who thinks of these things...Why divers of course!!! We also have indoor sports in Canada but I think you can have already figured that sport out Got4boys :) :)
