    Beware Suunto computers D9 and Vytec.

    I have seen several Uwatec Aladins with similar issues this year. Reading a more shallow depth and failing to end the dive once out of the water.

    Instructors - Agencies Split from overweight

    So we have created a bit of a paradox. Training sucks. Experience is good. Without training, experience can kill you. without training you can die With training you can die without experience you can die getting experience you can die I don't think the ways of old are necessary...

    Instructors - Agencies Split from overweight

    I don't have a horse in this race, but I disagree. No matter what her level of training it obviously wasn't enough, at least for her in this instance, and my saying so in no way infers that my training was superior. On the contrary, I believe that my training was crap and I am a pretty good...

    Stone fish sting

    What you are describing is not a tourniquet. It is a constriction band. The purpose of a tourniquet is to stop all blood flow and once applied should not be loosened or removed except by a Dr.. A constriction band slows blood flow to a limb.

    Leaky pressure guage hose

    I would use just enough to make the o-rings shine. If you glob it on you may get grease pushed into your pressure guage, and that can't be good for it.

    Three dives in one day against the rules?

    There are some reasonable people here that would argue that point with you. Hopefully you would be FAR from saturated (saturation would require many many many hours of deco). The whole idea is pretty easy. Dive 1 you absorbe some nitrogen. During your sufrace interval you off gas some of...

    Tolerating low visibility

    I am so accustomed to low/no vis diving that I get confused in clear water. ;) One thing I have noticed a lot is when you are navigating towards something, say a sunken boat, that you are constantly thinking you can just barely see it and that it is just out of site. Our brains like to play...

    Leaky pressure guage hose

    I'd check the spool first before buying a new hose. Try replacing the 2 o-rings.

    Open source Dive Light Controller

    I'm no expert, but I don't think this will work on HID lights. Hallogen, yes. You didn't say which you were using.

    Low air/No air situations

    Great Lakes Wrecking Crew T-Shirts

    There is actually already a group "voted" on and approved design. Speaking of that, are there any XL grey T-shirts available? I think Brian was running that gig. I love the one I have but it has about reached the correct number of pizza and grease stains so I'm wanting to start on another one.

    Rinsing scuba gear in a swimming pool?

    No, you aren't the only one. Many people have answered the question. Reference the posts that say the chlorine in the pool would kill anything like algae and saltwater critters not being able to live in a chlorinated pool. 5 of the 11 posts before yours directly answered that question.
