    Looking at low-cost home compressors

    Look for good used systems, for non commercial use there is a lot of time left on a unit that has 1000 hours on the clock. I have found the Rix SA-6’s I use over the years for less than 3k each and they run well give constant rates of about 5.5 cfm and are easy to service.

    Diving Without a BC or Wings?

    I dove a dry suit for 15 years without BC, they were not availible. Its no big deal. The BC give better control than a dry suit alone and it give you a place to get your weights off your waist.

    My buddy gets cold

    Take a 48 lt/qt cooler fill 2/3 with hot water, float some drinks in the hot water (hot tap water, it will cool slowly but the mass in the cooler tends to keep it pretty warm so be careful after the dive), we like apple juice. Before the dive put the hoods and gloves in the hot water then put on...

Back in my spear fishing days we regularly took 40-50lb ling (with teeth about 2.5-3cm long), once out of Port Hardy we were on the 3rd dive looking for dinner and...
