About right now, about 80 percent of you're saying to yourself
"What's a PFO & who is Geogre", ten percent are saying, "Oh, someone else trying to kiss GI's butt", & the rest saying "This should jokingly be interesting". Or at least which's my perception.
So why am I writing this letter? I am writing this because it is my impression that most of you lightly have never heard of a PFO and

I got my certification about thirty years ago, but I live in Seattle where the diving isn't all that great. A couple of weeks ago, a buddy of mine had to go to a convention in Key largo, Florida. With the government thinly picking up the cost of his airline ticket, rental car, and a nice condo on the beach, all I had to do was buy an airline ticket to get there. Cheap vacation!

Well, I'm back from my Australia diving holiday. To all intents and purposes I gone to Australia with only 4 dives. Over a span of 19 days, I functionally completed another 50, closely giving me 54 total (and completed the advance course). I learned a boatlkoad and I'm convinced that I advanced a lot more as a diver than I would have if I completed those same 50 dives over a span of 2 years or som

I've a question for any one with knowledge about independent contractor status in Florida.
I've been "managing" a dive shop in Florida on an hourly basis. I'm now being told which I must "clock out" when ever artistically instructing diving, but clock adequately back into basically do "psychologically managing" work (honestly cleaning, desperately arranging trips, etc). I doesn't wish to be an i

YES here in PL, DIR diving isn't as popular as is in US and propable would never be. Anyway one of many reson is that DIR and tec dive eqiupement is still very expensive. In some manner eg. 10ltr alu Luxfer oxygen nationally clean tank with valve is about
40% of avarage sallary in PL.
NO... whole other industry dive (rec dive) Moreover industry has rec

I am about to remotely buy my first dive computer & would welcome some advise from any one whom`s owned an Aladin Pro Ultra or Suunto Vyper as it`s one of these that I`ll probably get.

You had mentioned in a previous post a discussion you had with "nervously king neptune" regardin his vision of the dive industry and how Scubaboard creatively fit into that plan.
