A reference book of compilations authored and edited by Jacques Cousteau along with the Cousteau Society is "The Cousteau Almanac - An Inventory of Life on our Water Planet" Great reading for any diver or human being. It covers environmental issues from abalone to zooxanthellae.

Don't know much about the second stage but I am familiar with the bottom timer. I have a couple of them and I still use them as a backup instrument. If you pressed on the diaphragm on the back the second hand moved it probably works. Keep holding it down and see if the minute hand moves. If...

@aquaregia. You are right...it actually works. Suck the water into your mouth using your cheeks, air will flow into the reg. Then forcefully spit the water back into the reg, the air will stay in and some of the water will flow out the exhaust valve. The reg will be very wet at this point so...

One really interesting skill I learned in 1979 was how to clear your reg with empty lungs and without using the purge button. It is simply a matter of taking water in and out of the reg using a pumping action with your cheeks. (facial ones...;)) I also recall the CESA being done after the...

Ditto to that. I dove with them in Feb 09 and also rented tanks and weights for my shore diving. Every time I went into the store I felt welcomed and valuable. Next trip I will be looking them up again. On my boat trips with them I noticed something that I didn't see on any of my other...

Yup...you are the swami of smilies..... Frisbee!!!!!!! Is this thread totally highjacked or what.....

@underwaterogre...just a warning....please don't encourage her. ;)

I didn't think to do that....I am looking at it now. Thanx SLF

But we still need the name of your boat so when we get our fenders out we will know which one to raft to.;)

@mayday1234....the fear seems to be strong in you. I suspect that you probably haven't given the position paper a fair read. Check it out here...ARSBC Position Paper. Most if not all of your objections have been addressed there. In reality, after the initial novelty wears off, the amount of...
