In my case, it was not tightened enough...

Urine is sterile.

Makai,

What is your interest and experience? Are you looking for buddies?

Welcome. Where in N Viriginia? I am in Chevy Chase MD. We practice in Millbrook form time to time.

Where am I?

This place looks very cool to go to with a group of friends. As for me, I spent a wonderful week on Bonaire. First time for me and I love this place.

...

Of course we did.

Here is a saying from aviation field that I adapted to scuba:

The superior diver uses his superior judgment to avoid using her superior skills.

I track my equipment beyond reasonable...

But here is some interesting observation on price deflation of wet suits (Aqualung vs. Scubapro - both on sale).

1997 SeaQuest Women Small - $195

I am on Bonaire now. It is awesome. Just curious if it is worth the trouble to go to the East side. Please share your experience if you did the dive(s).

Peter, is that you breaking into LCF's account??? :-) :-) :-)

Go CMAS!

Think about for a second. If you are very good instructor, why would you compete on price????!!! Market the value, teh quality, whatever, and charge the price accordingly...

Shop rate and what a mechanic makes are two different things...

Well put.

$300 for a horse riding instructor???? And you have an issue with $50 per hour (or less) for Cave instruction????

You know, in Singapore, you can get thoroughly shitty open water class with PADI...

Other "technical instructors" I experienced do not do 1/10 of what Bob is doing...

And you triple your liability... Of course you can learn everything by reading and then taking the cheapest available option that will give you a card (and in some cases this actually viable).

Precisely.

Flight instructor: $25-45 per hour. Less than a ****ing weeding planner? Please...

Cave instructors next...

By now you see that this is my pet peeve...

You can buy a "spumante," you can buy Dom Perignon. Your choice.

Although the difference ion value is not that much in case of sparkling wines.

Ditto. How much would you pay to learn to climb from a guy like Ed Viesturs?

I do not get it. Why would you think that $50 an hour (assuming 5 days for 8 hours - and you very well know that they spend more time with us) is a highway robbery? You are learning from a top notch...

If rental and gas is included that is pretty darn deal if you ask me. Think value.

Supply and demand?

I am looking for ideas where to go for a week of diving. Any recommendations would be most appreciated.

I am looking for good value and to have some great diving/relaxing time with my wife.
