    Question: What's the most dangerous/scariest things you've seen on a liveabord?

    Hi guys, Been awhile, but I wanted to find out what the scariest thing you've seen on a love-abord scuba vacation. I guess I'm looking more for "the boat caught fire" than I am looking for a bullshark encounter, but hey, let it fly either way. Oh, and no one is allowed to answer "The...

    PG Dive Closing

    They were really a great dive shop. I liked talking to all of them, and Marc was an excellent teacher. I guess I wasn't the only person who couldn't dive this summer due to bad economic circumstances. Paul and Genevieve were really top notch people, and they did turn their business into a...

    pretty sure I'm screwed

    The truth of the matter is this: I waited nearly a year to write about this issue, because I was really, really embarassed by some of my actions. Several trusted SB people have touched on the real reasons things went wrong. Don (In the process of skinning me alive) spoke about several of...

    BC's

    Both eardrums? Ouch. You keep rolling to one side, or to either side??? I think you might have to spend some time in a pool with a tank, and figure out why you're getting spun around. If the tank bottom is hitting your butt when you kick...well, then maybe the issues isn't the BC but your...

    pretty sure I'm screwed

    Sorry guys, but I wanted to enter 1 last detail: These tanks (Fabers) have a -14/-7 swing. I am thinking of getting a new instructor to help, but really, how do you do your weights??? I was weighted for the end of the tank.... TSandM, we're about the same weight. How would you deal?

    Shallow depth DCI

    pretty sure I'm screwed

    Well guys and gals, I have't been diving yet this year. See, I had a small problem on a check-out dive last year and have avoided my hobby/passion/happy place since. I went to check out my new tanks in a local pond. Figured it would help me work out any problems, since the tanks are...

    What are good BC's?

    I'm pretty sure that the "crushing my nuts" comment is the reason that there is cola all over my screen right now.

    Maskless and disappointed.. for now

    Hey, I have really rotten vision. I got a perscription mask because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to see a buddy that was having an issue, find the boat, etc. I found that I didn't really need to have perfect vision underwater (very few street signs to read) I could stick with pre-made...

    Guys and gals, I don't mean to sound so serious, but when do we scuba divers ever have these events?

    Interesting anti-shark technique

    Well, my (untested) method would be to simply fill my wetsuit...but this guy's idea seems to have worked for him.. Australian pokes great white shark in eye - Yahoo! News

    Call 911 from the bottom?

    This is very exciting technology. I can't wait to be able to talk and send texts underwater....Wait, don't I hide underwater so the office can't reach me???

    Aow=bs

    Why don't we all just agree that it's best not to swim against currents we can't handle, and then just grab the line and and call it a day when we have to?

    Contaminated Air??? Or Good to Go?

    You need to have that checked out. No go, as far as my tanks, and since I own them, I'd take them to another shop for a vis/fill

    Cold Water Divers - Whats your Regulator?

    I do not do ice diving, but have had amazing performance with my sherwood oasis. The first stage from Sherwood is why I bring this up--they make good products for me, and also for the guys that want to be under the ice....
