DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

It says I can and none of those 4 options are at odds

 

Gear oil - what ya'll recommend... aaannnd go.

 

Am thinking and have been thinking of getting my Scuba cert... fellow Taco guy in Tyler got his recently and the guy he did it with is really good and not crazy expensive...

Anyone else have theirs?

 

I got mine.

Went on leave during a deployment and got it in the Red Sea.

It's a good time. You should do it.

 

In the parking lot at my work. Lol it wont be there till June 9th. They'll have it for a week for 15k service, passenger dash rattle, and lubing the slip yoke (im assuming, i get a after thump when i stop). I dont need a rental this time so that avoids one argument.

 

My parents did it a few years ago. They really liked it. That gear is crazy expensive though. I think most people end up buying the regulator and just rent the rest. Sounds like fun for sure.

 

Ive thought about it but I dont need another expensive hobby. Ill stick to snorkeling.

 

@JINeration , do you know if there is a dealer installed audio system update? Ive been having horrible connectivity issues with Pandora last couple of weeks.

 

Yea, also said he got all the gear needed for like $1,000 from him as well. Been thinking of it for a while, especially when I travel I can hit up some local scuba spots or stuff and do something under the water instead of over the land....

 

I have no desire to scuba/snorkel in anything but clear water.

 

Same here honestly. But who knows.

 

Quick question.....



If I were to start doing hydrographics and got reasonably good at it, would there be a market for it? If I can make sure theres a market I might go ahead and invest in slightly better equipment.

 

I know a guy in Oklahoma thats scuba certified and search and rescue certified. He gets called out to the lakes alot to hook up underwater cars and such for tow companies. He actually makes quite a bit of side money off of it.

 

Theres only been one update so far.. so if yours hasn't been updated then yes. but even after the update it still has issues I don't know why. have you updated the app itself on your phone? and also what kind of phone are you using?

 

Yeah everything on my phone is up to date. Samsung S7 Active. I did the over the air update in like August?

 

Yea, that is what I worry about... start here and I will want to keep going and getting more certifications with it.

 

Rent.

Unless you want to take the plunge, you might as well use rental gear to get your cert; figure out what you like, then spend the money.

 

Will do.

 

Yeah, just making sure. just mention that yoru phone is having connectivity issues with your radio and he or she should note it on the repair order. its not hard for us to check if the radio is up to date or not
