During my instruction in 1979 we would drop weights at the bottom and perform the buoyant swimming emergency ascent. A quick ride to the surface with 2 layers of 7 mil on as I remember. You got extra kudos if you got back to the bottom on your own and put your belt back on. Release of the...

A pocket of air at depth is certainly compressed to the surrounding ambient pressure.

I use them for my Suunto compasses. Money well spent. Actually, everything I have from DSS has been :thumb:

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago. Not to be outdone by the Brits, in the weeks that followed, an...

And then this might happen: LEY3fN4N3D8 They had this guy at 270 feet or so but even at 60.....well:shocked2:

Yeah...baby! Nice!:D

Right now am re-reading Deco for Divers by Powell, working my way through Deeper into Diving by Lippman and Mitchell and I just finished The Six Skills by Lewis. All are great books with heaps of information. My next purchase hopefully will be Deep Diving by Gilliam. I really enjoyed the...

That space may compress once the BC is on and tightened up.

I am really enjoying the magazine. Nicely done. They are a great supplement to the other reading I am doing right now.

How about a place that does industrial strength sewing...tent, bag, sail manufacturer. Or a place that specializes in repairs to those sort of things.

Hoo boy....good luck on that one...there is no shortage of that stuff on the Fusion. But a least the hook portion of the velcro is not exposed to snag on every little thing. I suspect in your business though the other half (loops) would get full of all kinds of gunk when you get into dirty water.

Surfing wetsuits and especially wind-surfing wetsuits are bare-skin on the outside. These suits shed water very quickly thus reducing evaporative cooling...common with scuba suits if they are worn during the surface interval. I have often thought that would be one great advantage of using a...

I did this mod the other day and it has make all the difference. Something I previously thought unusable is now a good piece of kit. I made a deep score mark using a Dremel tool and cutoff wheel and two or three wiggles with a pair of pliers broke the extra tab material off. A little...

I have heard the same. A friend of mine related a story of his buddy's second stage flying apart while diving with him after they had arrived by air. The cover and diaphragm fell out after what appeared to be a shoddy re-assembly. The diver's bag had been inspected by TSA as there was a note...

Amazon.com: Diving Science (9780736048309): Michael Strauss, Igor V. Aksenov: Books I liked this one...am currently re-reading.

This might make interesting reading for you. Carotid sinus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia After I read that article I trimmed my neck seal until my pulse rate remained unchanged after donning.

Meh....no biggie with me. Some crews may offer the service just to be helpful but I suspect the real reason is to keep the trip organized. On a recent trip to Maui I found a common thread on all the boats I was on. They took your gear and set it up for you. While they were doing that you got...

The Good Samaritan concept in Canada is only helpful to lay individuals that get involved in a situation. You may still be sued if the situation goes pear-shaped but you have the Good Samaritan concept as a defense. An off duty EMT or physician responding can still be successfully sued if...

It could also be titled, “The Philosophy of Good Diving” by Steve Lewis. Neither condescending nor pontificating in his style he instead uses his wit to inject a humorous flavour which makes it always an engaging read. I found it hard to put down. I was delighted to see that his writing style...

Thanks Sunkmail...that's actually close enough for me....I get down to the coast quite often. Had quite a time finding my post this morning...It originally started it out in the Aqua Lung form...somebody moved me...:confused:
