The single most important piece of gear you will buy/own is you mask. With that said you obviously need one that fits. Snowflake is right on, but you need to be sure it seals good. You test this by first putting in on your face. Press it down a little and then inhale through your nose. Block...

I just finished up my DM and am starting to to work on AI. In my humble opinion, I think the biggest thing that you can work on is your water presence. The tests and the water work ( stamina, helping teach etc) are something that you do under the control of your Instructors and if they are...

Hey guys, Welcome back to the world of wet!!!!!! You should consider what is called a Scuba Tune Up before getting back in the ocean. It will do yo a world of good and cause you to have a better time on cruise. I am not sure about diving directly around Little Rock but just up your North...

Let me be the first to welcome you!!!! Guess you had enough of the fire so you had to try the water.:rofl3: Again welcome!!! Ed

One really big thing you need to consider is the shop you will be teaching at. Generally shop owners like for you to be in the gear brands they sell. Students really look at the gear the professionals wear and use. I dive the pool and lake teaching with a different set up then I do...

You have probably figured out already that diving in Cozumel is almost exclusively drift diving. Don't let it scare you but it is a different bird if you haven't done it. I have been there twice this year. Once with Dive paradise and the other with Sand Dollar. I haven't ever seen it done...

Hey guys, A few buddies of mine are thinking about a trip to Maya Palms south of Cancun late this year. Everything I've read seems really positive. Has anybody been lately. I am not really concerned about the diving because usually that is pretty hard to screw up in my opinion. Generally...

Robert, I know this sounds simplistic but your best solution to this very very simple. Just dive. The more you dive the better it will get plain and simple. I too once struggled with my mind on how fast I emptied a tank. In the end when its all said and done you will breath at your own...

Welcome, You have come to the right place to ask, answer and have a great time. Once you done in September you'll be a different and better person. Diving will do that to ya, like it or not. Welcome to our playground!!!! Ed

Trekride, The single most important thing about buying any piece of gear is how it fits YOU. What ever you end up buying please be sure you get it wet! If you can't try it on/use it I would be VERY VERY suspect of that vendor. Some of the better internet vendors will do this. Good shop...

Hey Bottom I think the best in town is Fioriellas (?) they have a location out in Martin City, which is south of 435, and one off Metcalf in Overland Park. Its where I take family and friends when in town. If your interested we are planning a really cool weekend at the Lake on the 22 of Aug...

I think what is being lost in this discussion is why we use a table in the first place. Dive tables "teach" dive theory. They allow the student to see effects of depth and time in a visual format that no computer, including the eRDP, can show. Divers that simply depend upon the computer will...

Hey, As for a knife I agree that it is just something you should have with you all the time. Most of the options I think have been discussed, except for 2 I think. First be sure that it is "water rated" . By that I mean how fast will it corrode. Second, how easy is it to deploy? When...

Hey, Welcome to THE BOARD!!! Good to have you here. Ed

Tony, You will need to get a professional rating at some point to make diving a career. But try not to get in a real hurry. Diving is about the experience itself as much as anything else!!! In the PADI system that starts with the Divemaster Rating. There are half a dozen of so things you...
