    Dive ops handling wetsuits

    Often Dettol is hard to get depending on the dive location. I take some with me so I can ensure my gear is cleaned properly at the end of the diving. I usually thow it in the wash tank and let everyone use it. I dont pee in my wetsuit so thats not an issue for me as such, I just like killing the...

    Dive ops handling wetsuits

    I wash my wetsuit in a disinfectant called Dettol, and its great for boots as well. Kills all the wet dog smell that inevitably happens over a week of diving and wet suit remaining wet. I wash it and dont rinse and the Dettol kills the bugs and makes it smell nice. Brave girl to go commando...

    NZ wreck ( a must dive)

    Sadly its probably a wise move. Better to get some experience first so when you finally do dive it, its an enjoyable experience and not a scary one.

    NZ wreck ( a must dive)

    The ship is on its side. Top of the ship is around 16m and the sand at 36m although every time I have dived it the water is so dirty I have not been to the sand. Once over the side of the ship and running parallel with the deck, its very dirty with vis maybe 1-2 m. Inside is very silty so much...

    Having a twinset nightmare! Valve Thread woe!

    look on the side of the tank and see what standard they have been built to. DOT-3AL / TC-3ALM / ISO7866 If DOT then it should be 3/4 NPT 14 If ISO7866 then it should be M25 Make sure as M25 fits 3/4 NPT until you pump it to about 100 BAR then they part company I had same issue when I got my...

    Knee Replacement :(

    I think this is what I had done, replacement bearing (grease and oil change), and an updated knee cap. Out time was 6 weeks this time. I believe your loss of ability to do anything with your leg is actually related to the effect of the op on your quad muscle. My physio and masseur both said...

    Dear DM's around the world...

    Well said, its one thing to discuss the why and why not, but another thing to stuff ones opinion down another's throat.

    Diver missing in Port Phillip Bay - Victoria, Australia

    I also heard third or 10th hand that the diver and buddy made the surface and the buddy dropped something, and the diver (who was lost) went back down for it. Now regardless whether it is the truth or just some fiction, its a timely reminder to other divers that if they drop something, its not...

    Diver missing in Port Phillip Bay - Victoria, Australia

    Second (or third) hand info I have obtained suggests he and buddy came to surface, he descended again and they lost sight of him. Not sure what the vis was today? can be very clear to very dirty, but I would have thought reasonable today. I do hope they find him but I am not hopeful given the...
