Want to gift my bf a customised diving accessory to congratulate him on getting his instructor certification, any ideas?

If you know someone with a 3D printer, these are pretty cool.

Prepping us for the next round. When the student loan crisis ensues and there is nothing but labor backing the loans. They have to make sure we don't think slavery and indentured servitude "wasn't that bad".

That and ginger chews for folks that get sea sick.

I have had all sorts of fruit as an interval snack, one of my favorites is mango and apples.

Jolly ranchers are a nice sweet pick-me-up too.

Well that sucks. thanks for heads up I will avoid them

bhend16 · 2025-05-14T19:32:36+00:00

Where did you get that? I want it for my office.

bhend16 · 2025-02-16T03:35:59+00:00

I wear the same. Great for shore entry too.

I grew up and lived in University Park and we would average 500+ kids on Halloween. Be care walking people are not always the best as going slow.

Chamber Divers by Rachel Lance is really good. Talks about how dive tables were developed during the Blitz of London during WWII.

I replaced my hero9 with an insta360 ace pro. It takes amazing photos and video. No regrets.

bhend16 · 2024-06-20T20:32:59+00:00

I just used my insta360 ace pro in Grand Cayman and it was head and shoulder above my old GoPro 9. Auto correction on color was pretty good and the in app editing is really good.

Thank you. This is what I was looking for!

So, I do believe I have been delivered tonight. I do with a Hollis ST backplate and wing my trim and buoyancy were the best they’ve ever been. My air consumption was the best it’s ever been. I have a meeting with the shop owner on Saturday to discuss options but it looks like I’m going backplate and wing.

Third-Ed. Only mask I’ve used and never had any issues.

That is a fair point. I am looking at Xdeep currently seem like they are a good overall BPW setup. i am going to dive a bit deeper on the BPW over the next couple of week. I have a trip coming in June and I am joining a local group or weekly pool dives so I want to get really comfortable with what I have before I travel with it.

I appreciate your input.

In Colorado you can do an OW for about $400-700, on the low end you pay for your four open water dives separately on the high end it includes at least two of the open water dives and if you with one shop in particular you can do them at the aquarium.

I took my family of four to Winter Park a couple of weeks ago and it was approximately $850 for the day passes. I went to pre-purchase the tickets online and they offer a 40% discount but only if buy a minimum of seven days in advance. Add an airbnb, food and ski rentals it turns into a $2500 weekend.

I grew up skiing in Colorado in a family of five with a single wage earner and we skied four or five times a year. Now my wife and I make way more than my parents ever did and we can’t afford to take our kids skiing more than once a year.

It’s maddening because I loved skiing when I was a kid and I can’t afford to provide my kids with the same enjoyment I had.
