Today at Disney

[wnissen]

When I was there 18 months ago the only equipment allowed was mask and computer. Unless you had a medical reason requiring accomodation. I think in one of the other threads they allowed a pregnant woman to purchase a new wetsuit (tags still on) and bring it in the pool, so they are super serious about it.

Some of us brought them just for fun, which is the purpose of the dive. Disney does discourage it, they were saying, "Why risk flooding your expensive dive computer." I told them I wasn't worried, it was my buddy's expensive dive computer. A piece of equipment I was surprised not to have was an alternate second stage. That felt weird.

I'm surprised they let a pregnant woman dive. At the very least they'd be afraid of getting sued someday.

Can you use your own fins?

No. Only own mask (no snorkel), swimsuit, and watch/wrist worn dive computer.

Quick HIJACK-- WHY is Disney open now (I know this is a thread discussing pre-Covid)? Crap, the Canada-US border will never open.

Probably seemed like a better idea than going out of business and laying off 200,000 odd folks.

Wow. I guess it is so much more likely to flood on a 30ft time limited 40 minute dive that it is at 100ft tank limited dive.

/sarcasm off

I certainly would wear mine - all my dives are logged electronically (and with subsurface I can attach video/photos to them) and I would love to be able to look back on it in years to come.
