That's a new one to me, that sounds like it should be an old groaner. Nice.

Great video. Well narrated. Smart guy, but I would have GTFO the loop a bit earlier. I MIGHT keep diving with a slow dil leak, but not a unit that I can feel filling with water. Around 27:05 he mentions that caustic cocktails aren't a concern with modern sofnolime. I've never heard that. Does...

Eventually, after enough dive shops told them to pound sand, PADI handed over records on all divers certified under that agency.

Yes you can hose clamp them or make a DIY version of the hose clamp based mounts. But for MANY reasons it's better to sling it on your side. There are several long threads discussing where to carry a pony.

The research on "sawtooth" dives is limited, and any physiological implications are poorly understood compared to regular profiles. Computers and tables don't account for it well. However, lots of people do them and aren't dropping dead so it's not like you're going to get bent messing around in...

This whole thread is an insane fever dream, I love it.

Some people like drysuits in the tropics for the additional buoyancy control - less swing than a compressible wetsuit, and the ability to shift air around.

awesome job, looks great.

This is good. This is what I want. Now just to find someone who will ship it to America, or something equivalent available here. Would love to try tecline's lightjet fins too.

Who makes the toughest mask with the most robust buckles? Seems like everything in the dive shop has thin plastic buckles just waiting to fail. Any recommendations?

Well said. There can be value to "data mining" but it has to be approached carefully and scientifically. One of my very favorite things on the internet ever: Spurious Correlations

Can you explain in more detail how that pre-approval process works, what you had to do, who you had to talk to?

As an American I'm going to loudly barge into this discussion for Europeans to add that Nanight makes GREAT lights, and actually manufactures them in Europe. I'm really really happy with mine. Orcatorch is Chinese, and second to Nanight in both design and build quality. I would also add...

At that age kids can be so different - some totally ready and able to dive, many not. I wholeheartedly agree about snorkeling. And not just because it's a skill-building stepping stone towards diving - snorkeling is awesome in itself! Another thing to try is pool diving. He should do a bunch...

BPW is better, which is why most serious/experienced divers dive them, even for easy dives. Since you asked specifically about downsides and everything under the sun has pros and cons: BPW setups do take a little bit more fussy adjusting and setup when new because they let you have more...

Cool project, I second the idea of trying to implement some of the alternative/experimental algorithms to offer something unique. Alternatively, it's a different project, but if you ever feel like making a non-cloud, open source dive log software with highly configurable input fields that...

Wool socks + good wicking base layer + fleece bottoms and tops from the thrift store layered as needed. Really good merino wool base layers cost money but last a long time and can be used for other outdoor sports to help justify the purchase. Other warm wicking technical fabric base layers work...
