I can only confirm that there are mavericks in any discipline. So far the experience I have had with both Tech and Cave divers is there are some who do and some who don't practice mods to allow overpressure on tanks. Whether overfilling/ mods were the cause of his death or not. I'm sure with...

I knew Russ when he worked at Scuba West here in Hudson as a Instructor. Filled many of my tanks. Was a couple of divers I dive with Instructor for OW. They are beside themselves. He recently completed Cavern training and was looking to go Full Cave in the near future. Was very enthusiastic...

This incident SCREAMS COMPLACENCY!! The words "more experienced divers than me" means there are 2 things you could learn from them. 1) Things that work well. 2) Things that DON'T. It's up to you too use the noodle between your ears to figure out which one they are displaying at any given...

With less than 20 dives after training I was hooked in the right shoulder strap and flipped over underwater. Before I even reached for my knife my buddy cut me loose. We were in 40ft of water appox. 100ft from shore. Towing a flag. Don't know if I swam into it or if the fisherman cast past me...

Requested to post pics..

For sure it will get a fair share of testing from the dive community. We shall see if the recommendations are favorable then. But, Hey! All those people who pre-ordered 6,000+ x $300 is a great return even if it doesn't live up to their expectations or reviews. Can they get their money back...

Wow! Didn't know that many divers were being left behind or lost that warranted this product. OK pounce with the saying. "If it saves one life it is worth it". If your smart enough to keep it charged or in fresh batteries, (Thanks from the environment, NOT! and the battery manufactures) then...

Someone has to be the one snatched by the gator at the edge of the river to keep the rest of the herd the wiser. Complacency, ignorance and lack of common sense are not new to the animal kingdom. Our disadvantage is we are deceived by our self awareness and disregard the rules of nature at our...

Where I learned to dive access to EAN for Rec was not offered at any of the LDS. Although training was. Was baptized into deep air diving too max depths of 130.' Staying too the edge of NDL (CP) then slowly ascending just staying out of NDL. Upon reaching 30ft we would spend the remainder of...

Changed my avatar to show the white shirt, blue black skin, blue hoses, yellow fins and yellow REFLECTIVE lens mask. I have swam with sharks and through schools of barracuda with never a look twice. If anyone would get bit from colors I should be it. Note: Some species use brilliant colors...

WOW! I can visualize step by step what happened in my mind based on what information is available and realize how many links in the accident chain there were. What a difference I could see if there was one person with a problem solving mind set. (Competent DM?) Not going to sit here and arm...

ScubaPro KnightHawk BC size XL. Purchased new in 09 in Vegas. Serviced per parts program in Jan2010 & 2011. Asking $350. Moved to FL last year and have switched to Cavern/Cave. PM with e-mail for pics or skype or further questions. Thanks...

Reply to OP about skydiving: If you expect the roller coaster drop (willie effect) from leaving a plane, I've never felt it. It's explained that I was only transitioning from the forward movement of the plane too the fall. Like cracking the throttle on a crotch rocket from a 30 mph roll on...

Your hooked! Same thing happened here after my first try scuba. Private tour dive. Do agree with jscott099. Want those to last for 48hrs straight?! Jump out of a plane at 11,500ft! Accelerate to 100+ miles an hour in a few seconds, fall through a cloud like in a cartoon and have your privates...

Al Gore invented HOT AIR!

From a previous thread I deduced you are in Vegas? I'm from that local dive scene but never had any dealings with your instructor or shop. If you want excellent instruction in the future look up Russ Howard at MISSION SCUBA and/or Steve Schafer at LAKE MEAD TECHNICAL DIVERS. If you train and...

Awesome! I'm not a strict follower of one discipline DIR/GUE although I understand and respect their approach to diving. Some things just makes sense to me. Others do not. I find the process of making those decisions a stimulating part of the constant learning and adapting that is diving.

Its ok to sigh.. Some of us do need supplements. Thank you for clarifying.
