ohiominnie said:Ah, yes. I must go. And I just checked the post count and I've blown by Mr. Scuba (unintentionally) but now I can go to sleep happy! Of course, he'll be up at some ungodly hour and will probably see to it that he passes my count. He's like that!

tinksdad said:Are you saying, that Sir Scuba is, in some way NOT innocent?? How can that be?????![]()

kikipug said:Oh, sure... blame the kids... how do they figure into the post count equation??
scuba diver said:OhioMinnie is a home schooler. In theory, she should not be posting during the day.![]()
scuba.mom said:Do you want another GPS? I thought taking mine all of the time worked fine for you. If you do, please tell me soon and make your Fathers Day Gift much easier to find. Otherwise, please give Lisa hints (ie specific model #'s, store it is located at, etc) so she can make sure her "Daddy" is happy for Fathers Day. On the other hand, let's hope Matt remembers it is Fathers Day and calls home.

I think that qualifies as a "personal item" and requires the user to be the purchaser! I know I could NEVER get my DW to get me one of those.......scuba diver said:That's a great idea, but I am still waiting for my "valve". That would make a great Father's Day gift.![]()
Matt call home....now that is funny!!![]()
tinksdad said:Wow!!
Now that IS nice!!
Alicia! Alicia!! Where are you when I need you??![]()

tinksdad said:You definitely ought to join us for dives in both Cozumel and Costa Maya!!Right now we have four divers, and if you both join us it would enough for a small 6-pack boat, which is used in those areas. We could call it the DIS Divers Charter boat!!

Your certification does not expire, but you should DEFINITELY do a Skills Update class. This will include a mini class, watch a video and then a pool session to go over all the basic skills you covered in your OW class. I actually did three of these before our vacation.
Alicia and I saw this very thing when we did dives during a Celebrity cruise a couple of years ago. We had a table mate that hadn't dove in lots of years and decided that he would dive in Roatan. Long story, short; He never got under because he had a cheapie mask and a beard and the mask leaked badly. If he had done an update, this would have become evident and thus correctable.![]()
BTW, what agency are you guys certified with? You don't have your location on your profile, where do you guys live?![]()
chip&dale&fun said:Thanks - we are both certified through the "Y" out of West Palm Beach.
DH knows about the mask problem and wonders just how much to shave off the mustache to get a good seal. Scuba put us right on where to select new dive gear - not sure if we just want to snorkle or dive....still wondering. And we are interested in pyramids during the cruise, so lots of THUNKIN' needed to figure this out. I had thought the certifications expired, did not really want to do those dive tables all over again. (blah). Anyway, I will look into the Skills Update course - any recommendations?
