I'm not sure if we'll have the time for a live aboard, although that would be my preference! Thanks for all the great information. Sounds like we have an idea of what to do. whee!

I'm headed in this weekend for two weeks.

I'm heading to Bangkok, Thailand for two weeks to attend a friend's wedding. We have about a week before the wedding to explore and see what Thailand has to offer. My friend and I would like to get some diving in during that week. Looking for any tips on where to look to go diving. I've read...

haha, late or not, thanks for the suggestion Terry! ^_^

Just wanted to give an update. I ended up doing a presentation on the importance and limitations of buddy signals. It went great! I got a 4. thanks again!

yeah, mixing rarely poses a problem. I got OW and AOW via PADI, then got rescue and on via NAUI.

I like the buoyancy topic. That's also something I see a lot of young divers not really pay attention to. Unfortunately the reg topic was already covered by another candidate. ^_^ I also like the gas management topic. yay, thanks for all the great ideas guys. Helpful as always!

yes, it's for my ai/dm. thanks for all the suggestions so far. I like the heat loss in water part because a lot of our students get cold. 5 mins on buddy signals? I guess that's true if I add some more interactive parts. I guess 5 really is 3 for just the meat. Didn't think of it that way...

I'm supposed to be preparing a 5 minute classroom teaching presentation on any scuba related topic, and I can't think of anything that I can do in 5 minutes without going over. The last time I did Boyle's law and ended up running for 12 minutes! Any simple straightforward topics? I was...

wow, this thread has been going on for 2+ years. That must be some kind of record...

:shocked2:

does "diving" in a heated pool count? I get to do that once a week. ^_^

I didn't see that forum. Sorry about that! Could a mod move this thread appropriately? Sorry for posting it here. :(

wow, thanks for all the helpful responses. Great to see all the different reasons for DMing and where you all ended up. thanks again!

Here are photos of the actual items for sale:

I doubt that's true! One of the big things that's holding me back is the whole "responsible for someone else's well being". When I think about it and all the things that can go wrong on a dive... :depressed:

This is a XXS Mares Kaila BCD with an attached Atomic SS-1. These are current generation items and have been in the ocean once. It took one dive for my wife to figure out that these didn't fit her well. She is very petite, so even the XXS is too big. The gear was thoroughly rinsed in freshwater...

I'm not sure if this is in the right area, but here goes. I've recently been suggested by my DSO to consider the DM / Instructor training route, believing that I would do well as one. Self-deprecation aside, I do not have the skills to match my perception of those of a DM / Instructor. Nor do...

I'll be diving sat and sun as part of a class, but I guess that makes me useless as a diving buddy.

I'm going to be in Moorea for the next three months on a research trip with my university. I plan to be doing an obnoxious amount of diving, so if there are any locals on the board who would want to meet up, drop me a line! Of course, if anyone has suggestions for dive spots, or ops to go...
