    Internet Purchases?

    Going through this thread has me scratching my head. How does an "unauthorized" on-line shop get its stock? And on the octo/inflator question. To my mind if you're sharing air on ascent, that 3rd hose comes in real handy.

    Nitrox vs. Regular Air?

    Silly me, but one word that seems conspicious by its absence is narcosis

    Potential problem with certification

    I'll say ditto here. And I'm -6 and -6.5. Prescription mask is great for for bringing up your vision in addition to what the water doesn itself.

    Tell us about your first time...

    Did my cert with Sinai Divers in Sharm el Shiek. Used a little bay (just off the beach) for the "confined water" portion. Not sure if it was the first or second cert dive out in the Red Sea proper, but I remember having a huge wrasse go after my pressure guage.

    3 day or 4 day courses

    OK, just my 2¢ (or being Canadian, maybe a nickle). Aug 89, got my cert in the Red Sea (1 week course). Pretty basic. 8 or 10 students with 1 instructor. Had fun, learned a few things (even remembered them) Nov 93, wife gets her cert in Jamaica (I followed along as a refresher). Another 1...

    A very bad week in Florida

    My son just finished his OW with GDI while I followed along as a tune-up. Don't think I could find a better instructor anywhere. Demanding, fair, patient, comprehensive (even with a 13 year old). Know where I'll be going next time I'm looking for a course.

    Best mask for a mustache

    Could also trim it down a bit from your nose. Razors tend to be cheaper than masks ;)

    Dive Clubs - what are the pros and cons of incorporating?

    My thought; sit down with a lawyer. Should be able to explain it all, and get it set up for you as well. Yesterday might be a good day to start.

    First, Hi to everyone. Certified in the Red Sea in 89. Convinced my wife to take lessons on vacation in Jamaica in 93. Now that the kids are getting old enough for training, maybe I'll be able to find a willing (or not ;) ) dive buddy. Live in Ottawa and starting to discover (while keeping...
