Understood. Rec 1, Rec 2, Essentials, Intro to Tech are all teaching the personal skills building blocks that the critical skills classes exploit later on.

...develop the bandwidth to "see" the resources remaining to get themselves home - those are team, buddy, and dive specific. I'm reminded of Apollo 13 when the team realizes they don't have the oxygen to get home. Immediatly the focus is on what they do have in the vehicle to work with an...

You and me both! See you tonight, Sea. Welcome

I was wondering about that myself, so I waited until my one-month lenses were at the end of their useful life, and got in the pool. I did mask flood and clear, remove and replace all with my eyes open and contacts in. They didn't act up at all, so I tried swiming around :snorkel: under water with th...

Awesome report, Casey! thanks for writing it up and posting the pics. Congrats to you and Natalee!

Where's Pez? 7:00pm April 20th at the Mukilteo city hall. The more divers in attendance the better. :angry: PEZ!! :angry: He and Joe were busy setting up an appointment with the makeup artist for the photo shoot before the meeting. Plus I heard Joe was insisting on a red carpet or he wouldn't show ...

The secret to fixing the problem is to educate people that there IS a problem, and then help show them there is an answer, too. You're not going to change the whole scuba world, but it's amazing how many people make use of information if they find it. Is there a curriculum for an open water student...

I'm not really sure if this will work, but I believe it can.......... But what is it that we don't share? How many of us, have learned the "hard" lessons, but are too afraid to tell the story for fear of judgment? I say to heck with it, these stories need to be told. Great thread, PEZ! Th...

[laivindil stirs the pot] :smt064 Dude, what is up with that. That's twice that you've showed me a picture of Chris and Joe holding hands. It's like the Chris + Joe thing is your twisted fantasy or something. You luuuuuv them, don't you! Watch out guys you have a fanboy. laivindil --> :joshsmith: :...

Yes, but what would be the fun in that?

it's a trick question- if it's under water, is it really DRY firing?

can you dry fire a Glock underwater?

DIBS!

if it's the 3cuft type, I can make it last almost 20 minutes in my hot tub. I fill 'em with nitrous oxide and pretend I'm narced.

Can I get a cool patch for my SDI computer-diver DIR cert?

While on these boards people like Mr.Sounder did an excellent job of making me feel stupid. Yeah, me too - he really knows his stuff. :book: but every time I get taken to task, I learn more and that's what really matters. Plus, when I start to feel stupid, I can just compare myself with PEZ and don...

I'm not qualified to properly answer this question as I am only starting to learn this myself, but I wanted to respond right away to point you in the right direction and warn you that you should probably get the kinks out of this before you dive. Your life depends on it!! I'd appreciate some clarifi...

I won't fault Ms. Brenner too much, as she seemed to be operating under guidance from an insurance company, both in the original ban and the "Scuba diving not recommended" signage. (I find it easy to blame insurance companies for stupid rules, maybe that's just me though) True - Jennifer ...

This is exactly the reason I have as many tanks as I do. No, you have all those tanks because you have a tank acquisition problem. You can't help yourself. I could quit anytime I wanted to. Sounder, I've been meaning to have a talk with you... Here's a little helpful info: Treatment Programs for Ad...

I agree with John- the parks people need to be educated by those of you who have experience with how this activity brings value to the community. (scientific, social, economic, recreational)

Large numbers will carry the most weight at the council meeting, in my opinion.

Welcome diver! I'm new to diving and even newer to the board - but I'm enjoying them both immensely! :smt038 This board seems like a brilliant place to meet new people and find divers in your area - I love the internet! Jenbowes That may be the first time anyone around here was referred to as brill...

BEER!!

Welcome vlad! You don't have to drink beer to hang out here, but it does help make some of the posts make more sense...

Great workshop! Thank you Scott for a great opportunity to get more insight and understanding about DCS and the evolution of various deco strategies. Very enjoyable, highly recommended. :smt038

what is the difference between the Apeks xtx50 and the xtx50 Octopus, other than color and price?

what do like the most about your atomics?
