    Dry Suit Donning............

    Had both. First was back entry. Big part of the reason to switch was to get the front loader.

    Charter Etiquette

    A business needs to be unique to survive in today's world if they aren't they have a commodity and there will always be someone to compete on price. You said most boats rely on repeats that means one of two things they offer great service (which I will gladly pay for) or they are the cheapest...

    Charter Etiquette

    Read the original post-- these are well documented sites. To win my repeated business you need to do more than take me to a dive site.

    Charter Etiquette

    Nobody owns a dive site. If they don't want to give you numbers they know they don't offer much in the way of service to get you to come back. If you want them and don't have any points of reference (landmarks) to go back on your own with put your GPS in your bag leave it on and look at...

    Stripping & painting AL Tanks

    Most painting (autobody) ovens don't get much above 140F because of concerns with CNG vehicles, fuel tank venting, and wrecking other stuff in the car that may not be high temperture friendly. To start working with the temper of Al you will need to get to 300F+ With that said I would wait...

    Homemade Soft Weights

    I have used old nylons that have been left at my house --- I kind of wish there were some more opportunities for making weights but I am out of material (any female volunteers to forget some nylons?) back to the original point.... Like UP said fold it over repeatedly and you will have a nice...

    How much moisture is acceptable in a drysuit?

    Damp all over = sweat Wet cuffs, collar, shoulder-- leak in wrist/neck seals or exhaust valve. I have had issues with exhaust valves in both of my suits, but I suspect it is my own fault dumping air manually instead of letting the valve do its job.

    Open Water Cert In Cold Water

    7mm is standard Neoprene for diving around here-- Try a drysuit with 6.5mm and full of air. I personally carry enough lead to create paint chips for every stupid child in america to eat.

    What do you do?

    I try to enjoy life. Why is it that one of the first things asked about someone is what do you do? (meaning the job) My profession is the best means to afford my recreational desires it says nothing about who I am.

    I think computers make diving safer!

    Wouldn't dive without one. I think the reliability of the computer is as good as the Regulator and has nearly the same failure criticality. But.....I also am not a mixed gas/tech diver but have had my computer tell me to do a deco stop that the tables would have called non-deco diving I...

    A disturbing PADI rumor

    A car can kill you if you don't operate it properly.... do you completely understand how it works? A quick run down of why is all you will need for basic training, if you get curious (more involved in diving) you will do more research to better understand risks involved. Back to my car...
