    DEMA 2010 - Las Vegas

    I did some research, but still not compleatly understanding the DEMA show. I know that it is a "professional" only show and yes I can register as an attendee-non buyer professional, so what does this allow me to do? I assume just as it states "non buyer" that I can not buy anything. Do I fly to...

    We dont need no stinkin badges!

    Patches bring me back to a funny story, had this guy who wanted to dive with a bunch of us and he came in wearing his dive master patch on one side of his jacket and his dive flag patch on the other side. Now if you can picture this they were sewn on the jacket only on the top and bottom almost...

    siltout?

    I was wondering if alot of cave divers use a HUD simply for the the reason above? I would think seeing that would make you feel a little better in a complete silt out no?

    Blue Rock Resort in Subic Bay

    I am looking at taking a trip for my 30th b-day next year and a friend of mine told me they have stayed and dove with Blue Rock Resort many years ago. I see from the website it is still around. What is everyone thoughts on this resort? Are they good to dive with? Is it somewhere I will want to...

    Air Fills at Dutch Springs

    Wasnt there this weekend, but normally if you have two tanks drop one off after your first dive do your SI and 2nd dive and by the time you go back its filled. No wait...

    Question about certification level needed

    Me agree........I also think there will be a backlash of issues when one of the children gets hurt because of your instruction. I am not saying that will happen, but chances are this gentlemen has money (hense the boat he owns) and people with money always have good lawyers.

    DUI demo Days Coupon

    Same here, no decent deals on a suit just a free bag or under garment. You would think the bag should be included regardless :no:

    Recommendations for mounting pony bottle

    I also use a 19 cubic foot pony. The existing set up is the LGS Rescue Gear set up. It mounts over the main tank valve to set the height and then i run my 2 cam straps through the set up. I just dont like how floppy it seems. I was looking for something more stable. I will check out the Dive...

    Recommendations for mounting pony bottle

    Thanks for the answers, but I think everyone missed the real question. Do they make something I can mount to the BACKPLATE?

    Recommendations for mounting pony bottle

    I have searched and read the threads that discuss mounting or slinging your pony bottle. I am interested in mounting it to my bp&w and right now I use the rescue tech (I believe) pony bottle holder and it just seems to interfere with the bp&w. Do they make something I can mount to the backplate...

    While I value your opinion, I think you missed the boat here, but again thanks for your input.

    AI Computer?

    I have about 20 dives and I find myself constantly looking at my wrist mount computer for depth and time. I also find myself fumbling for my console to check my air ALL THE TIME. So I wonder if an AI computer should have been the way I went from the start? If I had everything all in one spot on...

    Clearing a full face mask

    With the AGA FFM yes start with the bottom and work your way up and when you reach the strap on the top of your head it should just be snug not tight or else it will pull the mask upward. I dont even tighten the top strap any more then a quick pull and it is fine. I am sure AGA OTS and the rest...

    Rescue Scenario Dive - 3rd Air Source?

    I know you want comments & feedback, but I am not rescue certified so I have none, sorry. I do however want to point out what I see in your senario. You say Diver 2 ran out of air but then you say RD 2 stayed calm and got D2 reg and was ok. To me it still sounds like RD 2 is out of air. Am I...

    Sidemount for OW/Wreck Diving

    If you find a local Dive Rite tech Tour they will allow you to try out the Nomad rig. I can tell you it is awesome. The best part is like you saw, walking to the water without any tanks on. It can be a little task loaded because you have to switch regs and breathe down the tanks equally. I have...

    Clearing a full face mask

    Everyone else has commented on how to correctly purge the FFM, but I just wanted to touch on the above bolded and underlined statement. This was an instructor who told you this? Just curious if they have ever had any training on a FFM and if not (which it seems obvious to me they havent), why...
