Thanks redhawktwo for that positive note. That's the way I always thought, and I teach it in my classes. There are also other medical conditions related to diving we let our students know about as well. They are not tested on these, however we feel that the more you know about the sport, the...

Yes I do teach a very strict class, and require the knowledge of all mentioned. Some say we over teach, if you think there is such a thing. However, no matter if it's an open water course or I'm teaching a cave course. The basics never change, and if your taught right from the start, you'll...

Lipnoin Pneumonia is oil coating on the lungs from a compressor that wasn't maintained properly, or filters not changed on a regular basis. This allows a blow by of oil vapors into the final breathing air.

Gary, I know you may have been diving awhile. But if you know all about it, you know you could embolize in 4 -5 feet of water. Do you know what mediastinal Emphysema is or subcutaneous Emphysema, Or how about lipnoid pneumonia or even a pneumothorax. All of these are diving related questions...

Don, All classes are good. I would have to say as a cave diving instructor evaluator that, it depends on how far you want to go with your overhead enviornment. There is nothing wrong with a PADI cavern cert. I am not a Padi Instructor any longer. However, they do offer a good cavern course...

Very good advise M Bipartitus, as a long term instructor trainer I would have to say, if your happy with your instructor and the shop hmb. You should stay where you are. The certification agency doesn't always make a difference. It just depends on what you yourself want to go with the...

My best advise as a dive store operator for the past 12 years plus is, "Go to a good dive shop and buy the air for the weekend." I have two 14 cuft compressors with a storage system and am running two 1503 and two 1803 filters plus repackables to get the grade air I need. It's a lot of...
