I think panic attacks are far more likely once one is a bit narced, near 100' give or take. Of course, this is the least ideal place for a freakout. If he had it on the surface, like your letter suggests, I think there may have been other causes. Of course anyone having a panic attack should...

Ok, but are you new to the sport? How far do you plan on taking the hobby? Where are you? These are important factors to consider. If you plan on being a rec. diver, I'd get a weight integrated vest style BC--I use a Dacor Talon. It is perfect for basic recreational diving from New England...

Hey folks! I'm scheduled to fly into Grand Cayman, landing at 12:30 after being in the air for about 6 hours. I've been invited to do a night dive starting around 6:30 that night. I'd hate to pass up on a night dive (this may be my only opportunity to do so down there) but I'm concerned that...

Where is my name on the list?? I'm in Dedham MA!

Yikes. I'm supposed to be in the Caymans next Monday, the 24th through the 30th. Because of Wilma, I get to put it off for as long as I need, per both the airline and the hotel. For how long will the Caymans be choppy and turbid? In other words, when will the seas calm down?

Fair enough. I'll plan accordingly. I'll also take care of the post issue in the future!

Ok, everyone out of the pool! You all need to report to the 02 cleaning room. That's where I send people who are being snotty. I have to have all your snotty responses 02 cleaned, so that no other person with a basic question is burned by the combustion of your combined arrogance. Chill...

Hey folks, should have posted first, but two questions: How is the diving off of Compass Point (East End) on G.C. and also, what the hell do non divers do when they're on GC???? Any tips greatly appreciated! I'm already booked for late October...Let's all cross our fingers and hope for no...

Yeah, I learned in the Bahamas, where I had that going for me! If only I had known BEFORE I became addicted! :eyebrow:

:11: Actually, around 500 PSI is where I risk the uncontrolled ascent with a 80 cu ft al tank. Here's the (super embarassing) kicker: I need to stay as light as possible: I have no problems w/diving: it's the walking the rig into the water that has been hampering me!

I have the a slightly different question but along the same topic: I'm 135, 6' and wear 34 pounds w/ a 7mil wetsuit. I've met much larger people wearing far less. Why is it that I use all this weight but I'm never overweighted? A skinny ******* like me should need WAY less weight, don't you...

Hey everyone! I'm new to the nitrox scene, and have conflicting information about my equipment. Some web sites say that my octo, a dacor Viper is nitrox compatible, while others make no mention. Both my dacor BC (talon) and the Viper manual say that neither is nitrox compatible, though they...
