Before you descend make sure you are relaxed and at rest. You may have just exerted yourself by walking and/or swimming to the descent point. Two extra minutes at the surface could easily give you many more underwater. If there is a descent/ascent line then use it, even in the mildest...

The main drawback I can see with i3 at the moment is that it wouldn't be very useful for demonstrations in a class unless everyone was using them.

I sold a pair of XL yelow tips last week, so they do exist. Not sure when I'll see the next pair though.

I've dived on Ocean Quest and Taka and would definitely suggest Taka if funds allow. It goes to the same sites as Mike Ball and Spirit of Freedom but for much less money, the dive sites are generally in better condition than those that Scubapro and Ocean Quest go to, but of course this will...

At little over 180F/80C aluminium tanks can start to degrade, and it is possible to reach these temperatures in a car in direct sunlight.

Rather than create a new thread could anyone here let me know where to find a sizing chart for the Fusion. All I can find is the one on the Whites website, is that still correct what with the change of ownership? TIA

I had a look at one of these today. Much more durable than the standard Zuma and certainly looks good all black, but I still think the tail of the bladder is prominent and prone to damage from tank racks on certain boats. If it has been designed for training professionals then why was the...

Also useful for pressure tests after a battery change, the unit won't throw a fit when you bring it from 30m to the surface in 2 seconds.

I know of one dive operation that used AirII as a way to cut down on reg servicing costs. I've never looked into why there is a 2 year service interval, the product doesn't interest me.

I've worked as a dive supervisor on boats from Cairns and doing the headcount was nerve wracking.

I'm not sure about this, and of course it does vary between countries/counties etc. but a nurse, paramedic or doctor administering aid outside of their place of work may not be covered by their insurance and so risk a great deal if someone decides to sue for malpractice. Whereas Joe Public...

I've seen three Ikelite arylic housings fail due to a crack at a button junction in just four months. They were work cameras rather than personal and so probably not as well looked after by the staff as they should have been. However the most likely cause was probably knocking in the camera...

Like it says on the tin. Been diving and on forums for years but have only just put the two together. :shakehead:

As an OWSI with 5 specs I certified an MSD on one occasion. I didn't apply to become an MSDT as soon as I could because I wanted more experience and it would have been an outlay with no immediate return. Anyway I taught somebody the EANx course who already had 4 other specs and rescue, they...
