    Securing corrugated hose on BP/W

    Use your rear dump Valve. I have a longer hose on mine and i am in the process of trying to get a shorter one, it does become and issue. Currently i loop mine through some bicyle tubing and have zero issues with it... Currently i only deflate through my rear dump and never had an issue, if...

    Big Bay Point Update

    Yea your 30 foot restriction on the vis i think was more due to the darkness compared to poor water water quality... I mean Just because you where sitting in 50 feet of water and the other boat was in 70 feet of water does not mean the boat was only 20 feet away. I believe its a good 40 feet...

    Big Bay Point Update

    This was shot on a G9... I am a good 15 - 20 feet from the boat and you can see other divers a ways away coming up out of the dark. By far this weekend has had the best VIS. Now if you where only getting 30 feet max i would suggest their where divers in before you playing in the mudd...

    Lung expansion injury?

    Hey guys, So yesterday we are sitting in 70 feet of water just doing some skills and drills. When I turned my head to the left to check out my buddy I did so just as I was taking a deep breath and ended up pulling my regulator out of my mouth taking in a fair bit of water. Long story...

    Big Bay Point Update

    Yup.. Too bad someone has decided to go in and cut out allot of the previously installed lines. We where in Saturday and Sunday Temps where 50 degress vis was 60-70 feet and no thermocline.

    Helium the Perfect Diver's Gas

    Not for some one who has hundreds of dives under their belts is able to do a controlled accent / decent and stop every single time.

    Helium the Perfect Diver's Gas

    Agreed, Cost - Its much harder to sell a customer on the cost of Helium cost for a course than it is to sell them on nitrox cost for a course, let lone the cost of actually diving it. Safety - As CD said, Your looking at higher risk with the diving, Pop up due to bad boyancy with nitrox...

    Split from Catalina Diver died.. Advanced Certification is a joke

    I did not take the PADI education however i did not consider myself "Advanced Open Water" after my AWO course... It was not until i had my OW/ AOW / Nitrox and GUE Fundies and about 300 dives did i actually look back and think then that i was qualified to do the diving i had been doing in the...

    which is a better dry suit?

    Greg, Whatever one fits best! Quality is about the same if one is much older than the other you might want to ensure you have it leak tested correctly and check all the seams. Serviceability.. Any professional Drysuit facility should have NO issues with either suit. If you where in Canada...

    Descending too fast

    My personal preference is this position minus the flared part from start to finish on the dive. Gives you the best decent/accent control and the least resistance when in forward or backwards motions.

    Descending too fast

    I too would be interested in hearing what sort of gear / weighting you are using and to what depths. Until i hit the 40-60 foot mark i don't have an issue with my decent.. Deflate my wing exhale my breath and i get started usually dropping around 30 feet per min, Chasing after a troubled...

    Type II DCS Caused by..SWINE FLU??

    Just courious why the flu is being targeted as the reason? I could understand the dehydration being the cause of the hit but to start freaking divers out about the swine flu getting you bent seems like a unwise thing.

    Hood and Mask - Which comes first?

    I would suggest that anyone doing a Giant stride if you where not already taught it to consider when stepping off into the water you place your one hand over your face... Holding your mask snug against your face and your regulator securely in place. This will prevent the loss of your mask...

    Hood and Mask - Which comes first?

    The Mask has never been an issue with me.. If some are sharing so will I. I dive the same hood all year round, Either i wear it or i don't often our waters in the lakes stay at a temperature where its required, I wear a Henderson Gold core wet suit hood trimmed down for my drysuit. My mask...

    Lights for Communication

    As BD said above our Okay / Attention / Help. It also comes down to where you dive, For example someone like me who dives regularly in our great lakes of Ontario where often we can get stuck with Visibility of inches then a higher powered HID with a tight beam is needed to cut through the...

    Hood and Mask - Which comes first?

    I wear and have always been taught to wear your mask on the outside of your hood, simply due to the fact your not going to take your hood off to replace your mask if need be. Given this is a recreational Basic forum i can see that most here would never consider the need to swap out a mask...

    Drysuit hood dilemma

    I recently met a young girl with thick hair down to her buttock and she had a seemstress customize her hood. She wore a L hood but bought a XXL had the seemstress take in the lower area of the hood leaving the upper area larger and then installed a heavy duty zipper. All she would have to do...
