Sentencing is scheduled for June 12 at 10 a.m. before U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon. McCabe faces up to 10 years in prison for seaman’s manslaughter, up to five years for making false statements, and up to 20 years for wire fraud. I'll guess he gets 7 years with credit for time served. I...

Must be quite the strong robot. Or you don't weigh much. All the ones I know of can be held in one place by merely grasping the hose with a few fingers.

From my experience with ear problems I'd say go for the rinsing of the ear with the syringe, it will only help. I guess if you had a punctured ear drum such a procedure could be problematic but if that was the case I'd think you'd be in serious pain.

That's why I remove the dustcaps when storing my gear.

Ok this explains the concrete break wall but not the "fed up on" part.

But is this damage due to water getting around a closed dust cap or failure of the diver to properly secure the regulator before dunking it? Not that you would know but it matters..

It's toast. Even if you could buff out the scratch using one of several questionably effective methods that show up on a search, it would ruin the optics.

I'm having trouble following this. You received anesthesia during treatment. During the procedure you had some sort of reaction, whereby you got excited and then passed out and as a result there was neurological damage that makes it difficult or impossible to drive?

In 4 pages I didn't see a single post about what is probably THE most common cause of lower back pain and how to treat it. Tight hamstrings with tight gluteus being another potential cause (butt pain being more common with the latter). Strrretttcccccchhhhhhh. Regularly. Preferrably after a...

Sorry for your troubles. That much said you will find it difficult to post gear for sale here because believe it or not, there are dishonest individuals out there who make up stories and then attempt to sell non existent dive gear to unsuspecting potential customers who hand over their hard...

As far as global warming and climate change goes, the loss of diving destinations is the tip of the iceberg.

Perhaps more importantly you get to wear the T-shirt.

Yeah, just keep supplying the woman with nitrox and watch her cough up mucous after each dive, and don't make any suggestions to alleviate what lets face it, is someone else's problem because you aren't a scientist or a doctor. Leave it to her doctors who apparently haven't made any...

Clever idea but overkill perhaps? The vast majority of recreational divers (and I just looked it up earlier to reply to a different thread and there are around 7 million of them) pop on the dust cap and drop the regs in the rinse bucket and there aren't all that many regulator failures due to...

I'm good with Nitrox, thanks. :wink:

No clue what "get fed up on my concrete break wall" means, however one possibility would be get a can of that rubberized stuff they use on handles of tools or to waterproof electrical connections and paint a few coats around the bottom of the tank. A better solution would be to sling it which...

This isn't about me and what gas I breathe underwater. In all of your rather detailed posts with provided references there was nothing about measurable objective positive effects in recreational divers breathing trimix vs nitrox in depths of 100-130'.

You'd think. I suggested as much in an earlier post. Slowly increase the percentages of 02 until the trigger point is reached (without her actually knowing the blend to rule out subjective effects), and I was accused of treating the poor lady like a monkey. The certified Trimix/nitrox/CCR...

Zero. Relevance?

I accept this and have posted as much. That much said, I've never ever heard of pulmonary toxicity symptoms due to breathing recreational nitrox blends nor can I find a single other reference to it here on this forum nor anywhere else online. Furthermore, I've suggested 2 effective ways of...
