I hope you also spent some time reading the many hundreds of posts from people who didn't instantly die the moment the slipped below the surface. Diving has given so much to so many people and it is sad that your obsession with the morbid side of it has robbed you of the opportunity to...

Don't pick fights with cows? Problem solved!

I stay within 10 mins of NDL. That way if something happens that needs to be fixed at any time on the dive I can safely get it sorted without exceeding them. I have only dived to 30meters (90ft) and theres no way you'd catch me at 165ft As for the rest of your post. It sounds like a big bag of...

Nice work Michael, I have read a few of your articles and it must be reassuring for the divers family to have you in their corner.

To my knowledge there is only one company that runs trips to that area on a Friday, and from my experience they have been really good. It would be great to get some more details of what happened to her.... I hope the woman makes a speedy recovery.

Thanks for the detailed replies everyone. I hadn't considered that the moulded mouthpiece can do that to someone, but I can certainly see how turning your OOA buddy into a gagging, retching panic monster might be sub optimal... I have donated my seacure mouthpiece reg to a couple of different...

Good point, I hadn't figured on the angle adapter.

I use a 5 foot primary and a 22 inch back up bungeed. I had to do a swimming air share once (we chose to do the safety stop rather than surface away from the boat) with a standard 40 inch octo hose and found it to be too short. Routing the 40 inch primary under your armpit and up to a swivel...

I was looking at the http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/dir/454646-cave-porn.html thread and was interested to see one of the divers was using her necklace bungee set quite long. I was wondering if there was a standard, or do you guys just do what is most comfortable for you. I have searched the...

I can offer my advice as a man. It would be to avoid the subtle hints. Causally leaving travel brochures etc and hoping he puts it all together... I know it doesn't work on me! Choose a time that is not related to the topic at hand and ask calm, polite but straight up what his issues are, then...

Dude, Seriously, when are you going to write a book??

I think the course itself sounds ok. Perhaps a bit excessive, but I know I would have benefited from more time spent on pool exercises and more ow dives. What I can't get past is the 1000 yard ocean swim in 4-5 foot swell and -2c deg water... Am I reading that right? I haven't seen many people...

Is it opposites day? A guy asks scubaboard about his BCD and everyone one says stick with a jacket?? Lol I switched to hog gear although what I was diving was mostly suitable and functional. I found it a lot nicer. My old jacket bc never seemed to fit quite right and once I had a bp/w...

Have you considered the third option? Not dying of lung cancer and not getting gunned down by drug cartels? It happens all the time. And I dare say lots of people care if you die of lung cancer... hopefully starting with you. Family, friends, all the way down to the general public who end up...

I just saw this so I'm not sure if you have organised your trip yet, but you could try PMing Alcina. She posts a lot in the Australia forum and is a local to that area I think. Enjoy your trip.

I had the same problem with my myflex hoses. New, unpressurized it seemed like try would never run comfortably. Once they were hooked up and pressurised I never noticed the 'opposite' curve in the hose. I thought it was more likely they get their memory while stored on the spools in the...

If you haven't already found something, try Adreno at Wollongabba in Brisbane. They have camo suits, though I think they are for spear fishing. They might have some scuba suits in camo too? Failing that you could try custom wetsuit designs in Eagle Farm, the owner (Keith I think) is really...

Great shots again, I look forward to seeing what you can do with you new kit! Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner

Dr Bill has a story of a blocked dip tube at about 100feet if I remember correctly. Problems with the tank valve creep me out. No way of knowing when it's going to happen, and the consequences will probably be severe. Sounds like you handled it well. Must have been hard to figure out what was...

What's the hand signal for "I've got two broken legs"?
