16 lbs on a weight belt is way to much and why "tin" ? You may want to try putting the weight of the air in your full tank on a rubber weight belt as ditch-able and bolt the rest to your bp and/or tank bands. I use a LP 95 which is about 8 lbs neg full so I put two three pound wights as...

That's closer to my experience here in San Diego. If I empty my tank because I want a different % nitrox or swapping valves or whatever it doesn't mean the tank is contaminated. the shops I use are pretty reasonable and a quick look with a light only takes a second and of course its always...

Not sure about any competition but you don't need a surplus of wing lift capacity. The problem here is not the her alleged inexperience with diving dry but the very basic practice of being properly weighted including including the right amount of ditch-able weight and proper wing lift. There...

not true, at least not in my experience.

you've got to be kidding. You have no idea what you are doing and what you are trying to do is not that hard.

you are way over thinking this, just list them and sell them.

I have this wing and Im very happy with it. Great for any dive configuration. If I didn't already have it, Id jump on it in a second. Also, great customer support from DDS if you ever need it.

What does this mean?

I started using 50/50 alcohol and vinegar when I was on the high school swim team many, many years ago, and still use it today. I am prone to ear infections but if I use the mix no problems. Very inexpensive and the ingrediants are probably already in your house.

Keith, If you signed up with Power Scuba then you probably saw the Thrusday La Jolla Shores dive - Thursday Sept 26th at 6:00pm, La Jolla shores. You don't need a buddy, there will be people there to buddy up with.

I have the DSS setup as well, same as above. I have the 30# wing and it is more than enough for single tank. If you can get one used and save some $, go for it.

Thats kind of expensive. Checkout house of scuba: Mask & Fin Straps - House of Scuba - Scuba diving equipment, scuba gear, diving wetsuits, snorkel.

My buddy and I do this mostly at night. Find a good spot and turn off your light. After your eyes adjust its amazing what you can see.

Absolutely, but its hard to convince new divers....

My 12 year old did it, very safe - practically one on one with the instructure. Its free and usually once a month at Sport Chelet.

Same here, that's what got me into UTD. That and seeing UTD divers on boats and at the beach and realizing that there is a different way. Lucky, I happen to live in San Diego. AG is my instructor and I could not ask for a better instructor both in the water and in the class room. However, he...

Obvious attempt to plug UTD. OK, you probably weren't trying to plug UTD but that is pretty close to UTD Rec 1 and 2.

Agency and instructor make all the difference. Additionally, many instructors may teach beyond standards but many teach only to the standards and the standards are pretty low in some agencies. The training for OW is very diverse even within an agency. Even the definition of an Average or...

Sold to a fellow ScubaBoard member. Thanks.

CDFW Wildlife Officers Stop and Cite Channel Islands Fishermen | California Diver Magazine This is great news and the CDFW Wildlife Officers need to do more of this because the cheating rampant. As a SCUBA diver, these fishing boats really piss me off, they know damn well what the rules are and...
