I have the "pleasure" of knowing a pathological lier. If you call bs on something he said, it does not faze him one bit. He's been a pro baseball player. Fell in the dugout broke both ankles and had to retire. He's been a pro drag racer. Pro stock car racer. Drafted in the 60's and became a...

lier, lier, pants on fire. (to put it in legal terms)

Why did you delete so many of your previous posts? (!)

It's my opinion that all divers (even the one week a year vacation divers) should be aware of and select the maximum ppO2 that they are willing to be exposed to. You absolutely have to be able to calculate the MOD for the gas that you're breathing. As has already been posted it's very simple...

Hummmm.....we have light signal communication, touch contact communication, hand signals, slates, wet notes, and even coms for the hard hat crowd. Short of learning sign language I wonder what's left.

I'll give 'em credit, their homemade scuba gear sure works better than the parachute that I made and jumped with from the 2nd story deck on our house.:no

Google optical cements. There are many different types and most if not all are waterproof.

Ditto. Betty Crocker special just left of center, also a pair of shears clipped off in right pocket, and a little Spyderco folder clipped off in the left pocket.

I have two sets of the Dive Rite webbing, one for the SS plate and one for my Al plate. I have both harnesses marked with "Whiteout" for positioning each plate, the tri-glides, and d-rings, depending upon my choice of diving wet or dry for whatever application. It's just 2" nylon webbing. You...

I'll put it this way; If I hired a professional underwater video/photographer dude and found him in the process of drowning my wife or one of my teammates because they were out of air and it was his "chosen" method of "saving them". I can assure you that I would make him regret ever being born.

Actually there is one. It's called the She-p and it's getting some good reviews in a thread over at the Decostop. I will never ever ever be without a p-valve again. I can dive well hydrated and I don't have to worry about ending a dive in misery. I don't care how tough you think you are, having...

I was just suckered into a five year old thread.:shakehead:

I rig my spools the same way and I've never had a double ender accidentally come off.

I believe that it's very important for everyone to have a clear understanding of how the team will descend. Discuss it pre dive, and make it a point to have each team member verbally recite the descent plan out loud. You'd be amazed at how that one little thing helps ingrain something into a...

It don't think that it was a very good idea for him to post these two photos on his website.;)

In crappy or limited vis the initial descent seems to be where most seperations occur. I think that its critical to really plan out and discuss the descent pre-dive. I don't know what your exact plan was but a couple of solid ways to stay together is, single file with the trailing divers using...

Open Water. I was pulling for the sharks the whole time. I just love it when my team wins!:eyebrow:

If you're diving with me- then we are each carrying the others reserve gas supply. Simple as that. If you need gas then you immediately get my long hose, then we'll work on getting calmed down, exiting/surfacing, or discovering that this was just a drill. If you're not my teammate and you come...

I did it this past fall on a longer than expected pool job. I started out in a 5mm full suit, got too cold, so I put a 2mm shorty over the full suit. I was amazed at the added warmth that the shorty provided.
