Ok this would make sense when one time at the breakwater, I saw a diver with a speargun swim in along the wall, then hand his gun up to his buddy while still in the water and then walk onto the beach.

Random thoughts: Gas planning probably needs to occur after a deco strategy has been determined so one can calculate the minimum gas reserves (Much like a deco strategy needs occur after exposure has been determined) For ourselves in our classes the "E - Equipment" was taught to be...

When going to thicker undergarments you will need more weight and not less. The Thicker the undergarment, typically the more air it holds, and the more weight one will need. That you dropped weight and then had trouble holding the stop is somewhat indicitive that you may be under weighted...

Th current issue some have with the solus lights is that it is non focusable. For some this is even more important than the brightness of the lights as they consider a tight been for team communication as important as the brightness of the light.

Ease back on the absolutes guys. Like all training, it just simulates real world situations and often times one has to make allowances for it. Whether in doubles or singles, jacket or backplate the procedures are roughtly the same. Protect the airway, get the diver in as fast as you...

A group of three of us took rescue class in doubles. For us it seemed to make a lot of sense as that is what we dive, and most of our buddies dive. Beyond being a bit more physically demanding there really isn't much to it. Like any other rescue scenario you quickly learn to dump...

Don't know how you do it, but when I unclip the double ender, it immediately gets clipped to the D-ring. takes about 1/4 of a second. It gets held with my thumb and fingers in either side of the hole, so there is absolutely no way for line to float off mid-use. If I want to stop playing...

Just a quick question: How many of those 80 dives were done outside of your classes?

Never had a spool jam on me but I have had reels do it several times. And I agree with you that the jamming was usually due to user error. But in a safety type situation where you are relying upon that device to get you home, why would one ever want to risk it jamming and complicating things...

Very junior cave diver here and carries a 150' safety spool in his pocket. Question: In your large caverns that the side walls are so far apart, are you going be that far off the line that you would need such a large amount of line on your safety spool? Or are you talking about making large...

Wallen's dive shop. Ask for Susan.

What any agency can do in the states. They can revoke their instructor's certification.

Gee I must be unlucky. Had my mask on backwards, during a surf entry and rogue wave came in and knocked it off. Continued with dive on backup mask. Was fooling around with the buckle on the straps during a dive for some stupid reason and ZIP, the strap came undone. Went to backup mask...

Nice to know civility is alive and well on the internet. Why in the world would anybody take time out to help you when you so clearly have demonstrated that you do not want help. Anyways - Conditions at Lobos today were not bad. 40+ ft viz out by the sisters. Low swell. Nice day.

The question then becomes, are you going to do cavern in singles and doubles. This could have a big impact on the stuff that you might need to relearn. Talk to ae3753 (on Scubaboard), He and his wife took NCAD cavern/intro to cave (are in the planning stages of going back to take full)...

Why oh why did work have to send me to Wisconsin! :(

I dont see how you can equate an X-scooter with hose-stuffing techniques and thus both must be non-DIR. I gave a simple response to clarify someones statement and you want to turn it into a whole gavin/x-scooter debate. Think about how many dives someone needs before they start use multiple...

Just as an fyi- The magnets from the Gavin can interfere with it. Magnets on the X-scooter do not. On the "X" the compass is farther away from the moter when it is placed on the T handle. Rainman uses an X and thus his comments. Kevin

If you are using a hogarthian type harness, then there are pockets that you can thread your waist strap through. Another option would be to attach pockets to your wetsuit or drysuit. Kevin
