That is true, it was a bad example. However that has to do with who is paying the money for something. That works like that because the insurance follows the car, not the person. Equipment is not usually insured though, and this does not have to do with the payment on the equipment if it is...

It is the community of people like you two that have really made me enjoy scuba diving. No matter my age or skill level people are very helpful and welcoming. If something breaks someone is always willing to help. I love that! I am still a student, and managed to get some money together for some...

Even being taught it sometimes isn't enough. I was having problems equalizing when going through my pool sessions for OW and I had been taught how to properly equalize and was even told it was easier to do it often and before I started to feel the pressure on my ears. However despite this I...

Sounds like you could have had a bad situation there! Glad you made it out alive!

America may like their lawsuits, but come on now, I don't think that is a good reason to never be willing to share your gear. These kinds of lawsuits could easily be fought off on the RARE chance that ever happened to you. I've never heard of a case of someone being sued when they leant someone...

Well I mean the gear they are using should be their responsibility no matter where they got it from. It is similar to buying new gear or used gear. You are responsible for your own safety. Now I mean if you knowingly were giving someone faulty equipment that may be a whole different story. But...

Awesome, I'm in the Waterloo region. I'll send you a message.

I wouldn't worry about that gas usage. It seems decent for your experience. Just keep diving and it will get better. I will let someone else comment on the tanks. I don't know enough there.

I am no expert here, but just from what I read it sounds like in the end you were able to get neutral. You said you ended up on a nose dive down after a few kicks. You also mentioned earlier on that doing the fin pivots (going on bottom of pool and trying to add air so you can just float on fin...

Subsurface supports this dive computer: Subsurface | An open source divelog .It is free software. Giver er a try.

Oh neat website! I have bookmarked that! This dive actually looks like a neat one to try out! @treasurechaser want to go try out the place with me?

Ah, sorry Jody, I did not realize you were looking for answers to these questions as you were using them in a video game. I assumed you were wanting actually get into diving and that is why your post confused me :).

Why is the title of this "Video game". I am unclear what exactly you are looking for. Advice on ALL of the SCUBA gear required? If so you may need to take a course before going out and getting all this stuff. If you buy new you'll be looking at A LOT of money. Not to mention the cost of the course.

That location is only a half hour drive from where I live. I have no idea if you can dive it, or even if it is worth it. It could be shallow. But maybe worth giving the park a call to see? If it has a decent depth I would be interested to give it a try diving in it with you! Also Innerkip is a...

I messaged the KW Divers people and they said they will give me more information about the group going. So I'll save you the trouble this time from having to forward my email on, however I appreciate the help! I want to get lots of dives under my belt before AOW and before some club dive trips I...

Hi Dean, I was not aware you were apart of this site. I am actually one of the people signed up for your upcoming advanced open water course. I did "post" on the KW Scuba Divers group just today. I am interested in joining the group planning to dive Grimsby Peer and Confederation Park in...

Hello, I am looking for someone that is interested in diving with me. I am in the Waterloo region and would like to go diving around the area. I don't have a buddy to go with. I am fairly newly certified however I do have a lot of confined pool time as well as am fairly confident in my abilities...

As long as you're careful when turning it on and off. To turn it off you are basically unscrewing it a little. Too much and water will leak in.

Yes being twice the weight of your buddy can likely be a factor, and you may want to re-asses whether you actually are in the best of shape. Just because you aren't huffing for are after a few kicks may not be an indicator of how good of shape you're in. Since they are smaller they probably just...

Usually octo's are not as easy to breath from as they are designed to not free flow as easily when they are sitting strapped to you.
