    Softening nylon webbings

    I tried this with a small sample and had no luck Jim. I also tried a few different solvents with no results as well. Still looking for a solution that will do the trick without harming the webbing.

    Texting and Diving

    I like the quiet time as much as the next guy, but I can see there would be some useful applications. I suspect this device would be most useful to dive teams that needed a form of communication to complete a task or remain compliant with OSHA or Workplace regs. Dive operators would find it...

    Diving a tragedy in FL...

    I will dive on the wreck of the SS Princess Sophia near Juneau this August. All hands and passengers were lost when it sunk off Vanderbilt reef on October 25th, 1918 along with my late wife's great great grandfather. I expect to be awed and humbled.

    Refractive Lens Exchange or LASIK vision correction?

    I had lasik done when I was about your age but I was also somewhat presbyopic and wore progressive lenses. Before the surgery I could still take the glasses off to do fine up-close work that the progressive lenses did not compensate for. After the surgery I could not do the up-close work...

    Memorable Critter Encounters

    Sand tiger congregation at Fish Rock near South West Rocks Australia. Big sharks with big teeth absolutely unconcerned about divers. They will swim by within inches....sublime!!!

    Surface Interval and exertion

    I asked a similar question some time ago in "Ask Dr. Decompression". Good replies from DocVikingo and Dr. Deco. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/ask-dr-decompression/430376-exertions-following-diving.html

    Quarter turns

    I see no harm in using the 1/4 turn to back off from fully open. It signals to someone else who may be rechecking the valve that it is indeed "open" to some degree. Further checking will soon indicate whether it is nearly fully open or nearly fully closed. Someone checking a fully open valve...

    Attacked By Cape Fur Seal! Did we do somthing wrong?

    Galapagos female and pup sea lions seem to have no fear of humans either on land or in the sea. We were explored many times by them whilst snorkeling. The bulls keep their distance and always seem to be on patrol. This bull approached me very closely while barking and blowing bubbles after we...

    Tipping the boat crew - conventions around the world?

    Now I know what to do with all those rolls of pennies I have been saving. But then again they will add weight to my luggage....hmmmm. ;-)

    Tipping the boat crew - conventions around the world?

    5-10 bucks per tank depending on service. (If on an American boat and cracks are made about Canadians not tipping, your tip will appear in the jar in Canadian funds) 10% -15% on liveaboards. A particularly nice married DM couple I encountered once were obviously struggling financially. I...

    Need help with RDP calculation

    Thanks John....for a while there I was checking and re-checking to see where MY problem was. I love these question when they come up as I get to drag out my tables and re-learn how to use them. For a pure square profile Jason's dives push the limits but in reality the dives will likely be...
