Could be a good point Capt... I've never done a shore dive.. Always off the side of a boat... In those situations, a snorkel is useless.. hehe Soon as you hit the water your swimming for the depths.. 8)

For most diving a snorkel Is valuble.
But for wreck tech or cave diving they get in the way and are not needed as you are in an overhead inviroment any way.

MrBlack, according to your card you're a PADI certified ASSISTANT divemaster. Also you said:

"Well not really I am though a Divemaster with 10 years experence and over 1.800 dives with out injury."

but according to your PADI card you got certified in May of 1998, five and a half years ago.

I'm getting real tired of you playing tricks on me to make me look foolish, MrBlack.

I'm not a diver, but my wife is. We live in the Puget Sound area, so that's where she dives all the time. Summer temps are in the low 50s and winter's in the high 40s(yes, she has a dry suit). Here's a dive her and her friends might make in the near future.
I found an accident report from the military of an A-20 Havoc that went down in Puget Sound during the war and supposedly has never been recovered. If we can find the location, they're going to dive it. It could be cool. I will, of course, be on the boat on the surface waiting to hear all about it. I'll post something if it happens.

Divemaster....Sniper...beats me. From the hearty lean of the boat noticed in the picture, he's certainly a Buffet Warrior

"....according to your card you're a PADI certified ASSISTANT divemaster."

Actually the card is saying that his Divemaster cert allows him to act as a PADI certified Assistant.

It also shows that his professional status as reflected by that particular card is expired though he could be waiting for his renewal sticker.

Anyways, 2stony, if you all find that Havoc, post the general location would ya?

No problem. Hopefully they will be able to bring up something off of the plane to display where I work.

Also I have assisted in over 200 open water , advanced openwaterand resuce diver courses.

And to my knowlege have only lost one student and he died.
Beause he had drugs in his system and freeked on his deep dive and spit out his reg and bolted for the surface.

So junior flip when you have taught Diving such as I have and you have seen how different people react then you can give advice.

This is too easy, but here we go...

That's roughly (and I'm using the numbers 1800/6 years since your cert date was 1998 and not the 10 you claim) 300 dives a year. 300 dives a year and you live in Dallas, which we all know is the SCUBA capitol of America. I did not include the extra 200 open water courses you claimbecause that would drive the numbers to a rediculous 333 dives per year.

The Cert date is 1998, but the other side of the card says Member since 1999. (cough)photoshop(/cough)
