I've used Formula 303 on a variety of stuff over the years. The stuff works well!

I don't wear one when I'm diving, but I do carry one. I carry one for emergencies, i.e. - the boat left w/o me. I'll also use it to do some snorkeling during a SI. For many divers, they were trained with a snorkel and they do what they were trained to do.

My wife has this happen all the time. I wouldn't call it a nose bleed. She always has a little bit of blood in her mask after a dive. She's been to the Dr. and they can't find any reason.

I think that culturally, we, Americans, have a hard time accepting blame or accountability. We turn on the new everyday and read about someone suing someone. We see the shenanigans of our political system always pointing the finger elsewhere. We buy hot coffee and it burns us, so we sue...

Do the combo...don't do the $275 EAN course...unless it is Advanced Nitrox, then that would be a good deal. SDI and PADI don't require the dives for the EAN cert, they are optional. If you think about it, it is rather silly to require the dives. You already know how to dive, you're just...

I just did what Nemrod did with my OMS Slipstreams. I lined them up between the 's' and the 't' and they flex maybe an 1 to 1-1/2' more than his Rockets...no where near his Jets.

Polypro or polypropelene. Polypro has not been used by most manufactures for a long, long time. Patagonia, REI, EMS do not use polypro in their synthetic insulating underwear. They use various blends and weaves of polyester and nylon, but they don't use polypro. The OD thermal underwear...

A little too much time in the CA sun? In my mind I can hear what every guy out there is thinking, but is afraid to say...

What do you do when you pull a cotton t-shirt out of the washer? You put it in the dryer for 45minutes. How about polyester or nylon? Hopefully just put them on a rack to dry. They're dry in 30minutes. No cotton. It will just hold the moisture next to your skin. Yes, what you wear depends...

:rofl3: Maybe this is the latest PADI methodology of teaching...answer first, question second. The Psychic Methodology.

Contact the Aquariums DSO. One of the hidden perks.;)

:confused:

Since you're profile isn't really filled out and we don't know where you're from or your certs, we're sort of at a disadvantage here. I'll assume that based upon your comment you have nice diving where your at. We'll if we were only so fortunate. Why don't you come to my quarry and we'll go...

Sorry I hadn't seen this. Hydes Quarry is accessed through on of the LDSs. Undersea Outfitters in Finksburg, MD. Personally I have not been there yet. I'm supposed to go on the 10th or 11th. It is only 55ffw. We'll see. It wouldn't be worth the drive your your area. I'd check out...

Sure, I'll give you that. It is there, so why not use it. Would I do that with an AL19? Probably not. With an AL30 and especially an AL40 how much are you really going to breath off of it in the example I gave above? 10ft3? 15ft3? I don't want to do the math. Someone else can.

From an NDL point of view. This is your pony which is there for that oh sh&t moment. Likely that oh sh*t is OOG. If you're OOG you're likely pushing something. Switch to you higher FO2 gas and make your slow ascent. The higher ppO2 will help with off gassing. From a practical point of...

If only all the lady divers were such! That would probably help out drawing a younger demographic to the sport. :D

What Blackwood said. I don't think any agency recommends it, but I know of and seen a fair amount do it.

Great...one more thing we need to carry. Let's add that to the checklist. Flying a plane, surgery, sure. Diving? Really? Personally I prefer to the 'mental' checklist, I prefer to do it from repetitive behavior, and from a good buddy check.

Depends what you're looking for. My OMS Slipstreams can easily push me through the water with doubles. My Cressi Gara's can easily propel me down to 60fsw while free diving. I can barely break 30fsw using my Slipstreams while free diving. My legs get worn out using my Cressi's on SCUBA, and...
