Sorry, do not mean at all to bash. Just making a simple statements that even the4 best can slack at times. My spelling is not perfect and my daughter was taking a class I was just there as a spectator
SORRY, tsandm I guess my instructor taught me to do the s drill every time to make sure my primary hose could be easily deployed. I guess you could deploy it without doing the drill. As far as the intro class went my daughter was taking it not me. I was just along for the ride. Ron Frank , I...
I am an avid DIR/GUE diver. I was taking a intro to cave course with my daughter at Ginnie springs and had the oportunity to run into one of the top divers with this group. (name withheld) I was kind of in awe when I saw him. They had someone their filming what they were doing. I descided to...
Thanks, I checked out his web site and it is really good. It looks like we are neighbors. I live in Wanship. Do you have a group that you dive with or is it through dive additcs. How was the water at blue lake. It takes so little bad divers there to turn that water into 0 vis. My daughter...
I hope you have improved you dive shops security on credit card payments since your employee stole my credit card information and bougtht 2 tickets to Jamaca. I would have hoped that you would have been more responsive to me in this situation other than firing the employee and blowing me off...
I took my DM after my advanced course. I only had about 50 dives. I don't think I would have been able to have really helped another diver until I had almost a 100 hours. I am now an Instructor and love it. Many other posts have suggested doing the DIR fundamentals. I strongly encourage...
I love your post. I am a PADI Instructor and have students think they should get a c-card just because they paid for the course. I want to get cave qualified, but because I live in Utah I will nly be able to dive caves a couple of times a year. I don't think thaqt is enough, maybe t do very...
do you do any dives to some of the other cavern/cave sites. Ginnie Springs . What do you charge for your courses. I planned on taking the cavern and intro 2 years ago the3n my wife got in a bad car accident so the class I paid fpor upfront I lost all the money. I dive when I can with steel...
Also I should point out that you can use the single tank weight that holds your tank to your to your wing. It weighs about 7 lbs. So for most of my diving I don't need any weight. For drysuit diving and deep diving I use double 104's and deffinetly don't need any extra weight. I guess I...
add velcro to your pockets. you will love your Halycon Eclipse. I ahve been diving with the Halcyon for a couple of years. I have one set for single tank, and another for doubles. I should clarify, I have 2 different wings, I use the same backplate and harness.
small spools cdan be put in your thigh pockets, if you don't have them, you'll want to get them added, there are no pockets with your new set up. my reels I put on the D ring that hangs below your gear on your back side. my lights, 2 of them, I have one on each of my shoulders straps just...
As A financial Advisor and Instructor I can tell you that we are in a recession but not as bad as it could be. the feds lower rates has helped. this one will be short lived, by election time we will be pulling out. I see people using LDS in there abbreviations, what does that mean?
Try the PADI Master scuba diver course If you already have over 200 dives a rescue course or divemaster course might be up your alley. Both can be quite challenging if given by the right instructor.
If you are a DIR wannabee, what is stopping you from being DIR, more people are diving that way, although it might not be perfect at least I know how there gear is going to be and it appears from those that I have seen they have been less likely to run into the ocean reef.
Well I am new to the Scuba Board, and you guys have alot of very interesting descussions. I am a PADI Instructor and so I am a little bias. I don't know alot about other agencies, although I did recieve my initial certification in Hawaii in one of the resort classes. Getting your certification...
I know it sounds bad but DIR "Doing it Right" I know people respond by saying that if there not diving DIR then they are doing it wrong. I think the statement of DIR is wrong, but I like alot of there training. Everyone has there gear set up the same, so if anyone is diving DIR then you know...
