How tight are your latches? I downloaded a page from the manufacturer and set up my spring latches for 50 psi or the middle setting. Perhaps there is some flex to the coverplates? Bobby, have you polished the lense yet? If so did you just use a buffing wheel and the correct acrylic buffing...

I think it is great that a training agency at the very least has members to "defend" or explain thier training. I don't think you would get the same "commitment" from other training agencies......................

Way to go looks really nice. Any Idea where it might be leaking from? I opted for just the one removable end, how do you like the two? Glad you got your pictures up, took me forever......

So it would be confusing or misleading if someone asked me if I dive doing it right and I say yes, and when they ask who my DIR instructor was I would say I have PADI certification. "So who trained you?",..." me, I practiced and trained myself", "but you said your doing it right?",......"...

What about outside the box, indirect assistance as it were. your going to run out of air messing with this diver at depth so clip a reel onto the guy and ascend. buddy is on the other end so you could find, pull up later??? Lift bag the diver and get to the surface? self preservation is...

One thing that makes the original question difficult is how the "imminent death" situation happened. How many people have thumbed a dive or noticed an accident waiting to happen and due to proper training, situational awareness and quick reaction time stopped the incident in its tracks and...

If I were to look at the situation and decided that I could perform the rescue within a tolerance of danger then I'm good to go. As has been said it would depend on the situation and the person in danger. Would I try is the bigger question My dive buddy is a great friend and I would go to...

Head Hunter, This is what I would find great! I would love to come along and learn/show what you/I can do. That being said I have never really gone to any place where any other divers were???? except maybe a few charters I truly think that he whole concept of the training (I have read...

No regrets on: Dry Suit Dry suit undergarments: thinsulate a must Dry gloves.....ahhhhhhhhhh Sherwood Blizzard regs (circa 1991 and going strong) should have set up as DIN however) Wrist slate parts for my UW housing turtle fins 7 foot hose A better mask, get a good one right off...

Perhaps some of what is discussed on here sometimes makes me wonder what other people are thinking or perhaps are not thinking. I guess what I find confusing is the need to discuss something that (to me) should be so ingrained or "basic" that it makes no sense to discuss. Team diving:your...

I have not completed certification from GUE or taken a DIR-F course so.......... From what I have read and utilize In my diving and from all the heated debates regarding the "DIR" model I am quite confused.:confused: The training GUE offers seems to be really good training that spends a...

sounds like your "buddies" were narce'd. You should have pulled the pin in such a ripper current. No back up gas? you went into deco, not a good thing. Sounds like a dive with not much planning with regards to gas managment/emergency proceedures. Wreck penetration, even in a wide open...

I sent off an e-mail to see what a change out to the Trek boots would be and its about $150 as a do it yourself. I have a size 10 and just find the fins get a tad loose with a bit of air in the feet. (not the fins actually, they are held to the boot like crazy just my foot feels loose inside...

See some of the earlier posts, as I had the same problem

The only way I could post pics: http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=168134 found: 2 step ladders, good condition 1 leatherman wave combo tool/knife mask and snorkle broken dishes, coffe mugs, bottle, jars, some silverware fishing pole (gave to a little boy and he was very...

Since you didn't ask the operator or complain they may not even think you had a bad dive. When you surfaced did you complain at all or inquire as to the reason you were told to get in the water so far away? I doubt you would have gotten your bling back but perhaps you may have been invited...

Chris Kohl I think is the spelling and the book is Great Lake Shipwrecks volume 2 Superior and Michigan. Sitting in Thunder Bay right now iching to dive Ilse Royal or some of the other sites in his book......

I find the round housing is great and can be made quickly if necessary (now that I have made one) Your design is simple and that is a good thing! I'll use the housing till things go bad, for now that could be a very long time. Next big project is a scooter, based on the same...

Total blend depending on conditions. For less than 45 dgree water I wear the Bare CT-200's-costly ....yes...but flooded drysuit due to leaky glove at 43 degrees and still hade good dive and made second dive. Temps above i wear combo's of long underwear to conditions. Layering is the key!

Are you talking about the ring that is used to secure the clips and provide the landing for the O-ring? If so, I used part of a coupling with the o-ring face machined smooth. I had the end cover completed so it would fit on nicely all the way down and rest on the end of the casing nice and...
