    Dive Buddy Protocol

    Not to hijack the thread, but when I was diving Curacao, the tank I received started with 2450psi, so when I hit 500 eveyoine else was still at 1000, so I went to 15' and shadowed the group from above. By the time the group was ascending I had to inflate my BC with my lungs. Anywoo, Jen...

    Stay W/ my buddy or stay W/ the group?

    It seems to me by the above highlighted comments that the guides/DM are taking the groups into the wrecks. THe husband then explores some side rooms and/or portholes/decay holes. If this is the case then the wrecks are either non-overhead environments or the guides/DMs are playing russion...

    Blue Hole Hit

    I don't mean to stir up a hornets nest, but this point of the dive operator being responsible and/or liable has been beaten to death. I for one want to be responsible for my own actions. I do not want an agency and/or government regulating what I can and cannot do (wihtin reason). When we...

    What would you do?

    Thanks for all the responses, I appreciate it. I don't really care about the negative feedback, I just feel bad for the guy, if he honestly believes the power inflator needed to be replaced. It's a character with myself, I want to believe that people in general are good and sometimes I...

    What would you do?

    I sold my old BCD on ebay last week. I know for a fact that everything was in good working condition when I shipped it. Yesterday, the buyer emails me saying that he received the BCD, had it repaired and dove with it, now wants me to pay for the repairs he states the BCD needed. Plus he says...

    Newbie with SOny F828 on my way to Cozumel

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to use TTL with the Sony 828. I on the other hand use the Sony 717 and can use the TTL feature because Ikelite supplied the housing with a remote sensor. You would need to purchase the manual controller from Ikelite to stop down your exposures. Without the...
