If there's a cabinet in that doctor's office, don't go into it. Oh wait... that's Dr. Caligari. Never mind.

You have to tip your server in a restaurant so why not your customs inspector? Baksheesh makes the world go 'round.

At 3500psi, an HP100 has, well, 100 cubic' of gas while the LP85 has 113, although at 4000psi, the LP85 will have 129 cubes. Most dive shops won't jack up LP tanks much beyond 3000 (97) or 3200psi (103 cubic feet). I have a bunch of LP85's, and I never quite know what the the shop will settle...

I dived on Opening Day on Saturday in a 1mil in Boca and I damn near got overheated on the first dive. I guess you Northerners will just have to pack on some extra blubber to survive summer diving. I probably should not weigh in on this stuff anyway since I'm down to just one drysuit for fall...

The Genesis 600 looks like a playa, but geez, finding one to play with in south Floriduh is tough. Plus I gotta buy at least two...

In the UK, you won't go wrong with Seaskin or O'Three.

Sharks and desperate women behind bars... does it get any better than this? The real buzz in Hollywood is over the upcoming blockbuster The Sharkshank Redemption.

So why didn't you just get a c-card down here in a couple of days and then go diving and avoid all this drama. When you got back to Kentucky, you could hide your card in your wallet under the condom, and then you could light a fire under your dad's arse and tell him, "Hey pops, let's finish the...

The easiest way to ID your lobsters is putting a bunch of colored rubber bands on your wrist. Don't use one color - use two in a distinct pattern on the antennae. Messing with a small mesh bag and wiggling lobster on a busy boat during mini-season is kinda not cool. Clean them at the dock...

The thick Harbor Freight gloves are pretty tough, but you lose a little dexterity because of that. If, <insert your choice of deity> forbid I found my carcass inside an ER and the doctors were passing around a box of heavy duty HF gloves, I don't think that I'd be too thrilled. And if they...

This is a scary one. I don't even know if Sri Aurobindo would have an answer for this case.

Things are really heating up in this Luderdale place.

I've always kept an eye out for Greeks bearing gifts, but I'm adding Danes with fireballs to the list.

I just don't understand this fascination with underwater cockroaches, but then again, there are so many things I don't fathom very well. I'll bet that all the enthusiasts here probably damn near explode with excitement whenever a Hulett commercial comes on the tv and that little guy is wearing a...

If she's a DM candidate, I guess this never happened before with her. If she continues with diving somehow, she oughta think about a full-face mask. She's not narcoleptic, right?

Drysuit bags pack up nice and small - no problem. Not like the photographers with all the hard cases with every spare part known to man. That stuff gets bulky, plus since it's a hard case and for camera gear, it's sacred and subject to veneration. One thing though is with the extra bag, make...

Hey - this "path to pro diving"? What's that about? Also, depending on your IT skills and language sets, you might not have to settle for Florida. Although, and no offense to the estimable people of the Bluegrass State, but Florida just might look like paradise without the 72 virgins after a few...

When I read this post, I was thinking what was mentioned above - didn't the class cover the benefits of different mixtures? This is the kindofa question that given the depths involved...uh, you ought to know the damn answer if you took the course.

There was a dive shop in Hawaii decades ago that had a sub-chilled water bath for tank fills. You could not keep your hand in that water for very long, and fills only took a couple of minutes. That seemed to work pretty well. At the Sub Base Pearl Harbor, we had a 4500 psi fill line that could...

...paleo. If this case ever made it to the 9th Circuit of Appeals in San Francisco, it would be overturned. The good news is that you would be become a treasured member of the Food Network and Costco would have a special Wookie buttered deckware section. You, Larry Ellison, and Paul Allen would...
