I support my LDS on as many items as I can. They provide me with great solutions, however, I also recently purhased from DSS since some of thier proprietary items rock!
What I like...
Welcome to DMX, tell us something about yourself.
Since you are staying above Lahaina, you might want to contact Extended Horizons out of Lahaina. I have not dived with them, however they seem to have a good diving philosophy. The go over to Lanai...
Wow! What a drought for me. I started remodeling a condo four months ago and thought I would be able to move in in June. Been working every spare moment on the project, while spending 60 hrs per...
My dive year sucks so far. Since returning from the tropics, I have not been wet since mid-March. Started my rescue class this Spring and then had a condo deal fall into my lap, so I have been...
Lynne;
Congratulations, I am certain that you will be a great dive master considering your tendencies to be a perfectionist...an admirable quality in any dive leadership professional.
Following are the comments from my dive trip this past January 2010. The dive ops in Cozumel are all pretty good, however, I will certainly go back to Aldora. They offered me a free night of...
I have a Halcyon SS plate with no additional weight and a 30 # Eclipse Wing. The tank is an HP119.
I have not yet dived this new getup. I will probably wear it a little below the webbing on...
I picked up some Dive Rite weight pouches, attached them to my BP/W and thought I had it all sorted out. Then I started diving dry and with a steel tank and 16# lead on the BP/W I realized I was too...
GM is such an elusive concept for the new diver. Falling into the I don't yet know what I don't know, I read and reread Bob's GM articles. Great reading for those who are dedicated to becoming...
The big reason to use a frog kick is that it looks awesome. I buddied with a DM candidate in Coz and I ended up behind her at a point during the dive. The frog kick is so gracefully to observe. ...
Happy belated birthday Bob
Glad you had a great day, wishing you many more for this year.

Desert, that is pronounced as dehs-sert, two s sounds.
Dessert, that is pronounced deh-sert, only one s sound.
English, what a wonderful language.
No, I had to take the ferry over, however I did bring along my bride and she rode along. We got a late start that day because one of the cruise ships was slow, so instead of SIT on the beach, we...
I just returned from Playa del Carmen this past weekend. More of the same weather that the lower USA greeted me for the week. Scheduled 5 dives, hoping to do 8 and got only 3 1/2. Dived Monday,...
Complete AOW is the major task I was unable to complete last year. Seems like an easy accomplishment, complete the specialties dives and the book work. However, my class is the introduction to...

So, congratulations on the correct attitude IMHO. You should enjoy the discussion on this board since so many of the seasoned veterans here are focused in a similar direction....
Sounds like at least three PADI courses could be added for this device. OW, drysuit usage and falling.
Can I sign you up after I get done writing them?
Ditto all of the above. I swapped from an older seaquest jacket style to a BP/W after 15 dives and fell in love the first dive. I love the fact that the Stainless plate weighs 6# allowing me to get...
Must be the heat getting to you, Up here in the cold, the math all seems clear except for the part about adding only 4#. Must be an inside joke from all you guys that think you bathing suit should...
1. Finish AOW.
2. Get in 25 drysuit dives this year.
3. Increase buoyancy skills, esp in drysuit.
4. Purchase steel tanks.
5. Find 4 new local dive buddies.
6. Continue to learn more skills,...
Last year my nondiving wife bought me an Olympus waterproof P&S. It is good to only 15 ft however the new 8000 is good to 33'. I use it for snorkeling, but best for sitting on the beach in a chair...
After attaining my C-card, I would have been useless in the event of an emergency as a buddy. While I am still a long ways away from being the diver I will be, I am much more skilled in watching and...

I had saved a website, thinking that they were recommended either through DMX or SB. The website is

If you have any thoughts regarding them, please...
