I haven't kept a log book for years. I did most of my diving in Africa and Asia and never had any issues. Since I have been back the states I have dove in Coz and Playa. I stopped keeping a log because I would always forget it and end up with a log book with the dives from that vacation.

I am a cert Divemaster but I don't carry the card because I won't pay the annual fee and there is also the liability issue so I carry my rescue card. I have been diving for about 20 years so I really lost interest in the log book. I would like to dive the keys though. Am I going to run into some anal LDS with some 20 year old DM is going to give me some ****? ]]> General Scuba Training Questions Clernix http://forum.scubatoys.com/general-scuba-training-questions/28033-log-not-log.html http://forum.scubatoys.com/general-scuba-training-questions/28004-dr-dr.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:24:08 GMT Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place but I need some help here quick---Where is a Dr. that treats dive related ear injuries---some Dr. that is familier with diving ---tanx all Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place but I need some help here quick---Where is a Dr. that treats dive related ear injuries---some Dr. that is familier with diving ---tanx all ]]> General Scuba Training Questions Hal http://forum.scubatoys.com/general-scuba-training-questions/28004-dr-dr.html http://forum.scubatoys.com/general-scuba-training-questions/27982-padi-aow-worth.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 07:14:26 GMT Hi :)

The reason I ask is because one of the local LDS is holding a FREE seminar called Equipment Specialist. It says you can purchase the card at the end but it doesn't say that you HAVE to. I'd like to attend (to learn about equipment) but I don't really care to have the c-card for the specialty.

My goal is to learn more about the equipment diving in general, not so much to have a bunch of certs, so is there any reason why I need to purchase the card?

Here's the exact wording:
This is a free seminar for anybody who has bought gear at Divers supply. Those who have not bought gear may also attend. We will go over gear maintenance and function. PADI divers may purchase the PADI "Equipment specialist" rating at the end of the night. "Equipment specialist" counts towards PADI Master Diver rating.

So nobody gets upset, I bought all of my equipment from this shop (except a few wetsuits and misc items) and am taking my AOW through them so it's not like I'm using them for their seminar. ]]> General Scuba Training Questions rednose83 http://forum.scubatoys.com/general-scuba-training-questions/27531-padi-specialties.html http://forum.scubatoys.com/general-scuba-training-questions/27457-padi-aow.html Fri, 23 Oct 2009 02:29:43 GMT What's a normal/average cost? Looking at the LDS, I see prices anywhere from $169 through $389 and the kicker is they both say all inclusive. What gives? Site fees maybe? ]]> General Scuba Training Questions rednose83 http://forum.scubatoys.com/general-scuba-training-questions/27457-padi-aow.html
