There is also a wild disparity throughout the country in terms of gear and qualifications for PSD teams. Its easy for me, on a team in a position to dive on surface supply (or not) AGA, hardhat, bite reg, wireless coms, wired coms, or not dive at all doing the job with an ROV, pole cam, or an...

I have one similar to this: Large Safety Stop Signal with Dump Valve reviews and discounts, ScubaToys You can inflate it on the surface if you hold the bottom under the water a few feet. It will hold the air in with a sort of one way valve in it. It can only be delfated with the OP valve. It...

All of hers plus the New Jersey Coast and Catalina Island. Oh and the Hudson river, a lake in Texas, under a train bridge in a river next to a sewage plant in Kentucky, a large bay in Maine, in a steel tank in in Panama City Beach, off a Navy YDT on the Atlantic, and other assorted swamps...

We did the PAII last Christmas - Scotty was the cook then too. Food was incredible, and they have draft beer. As long as we made the long trip, we stayed another week and went on the truk odysseyWelcome Aboard the Truk Odyssey - Wreck diving in Truk Lagoon Micronesia . They should...

Suunto's do, in my experience, tend to be more conservative. When diving single 80s I use a Oceanic Pro Plus II and a Suunto Stinger. With a flat profile they basically match each other. With any kind of sawtooth or moderately fast ascent the Suunto really punishes you. I dive the Stinger...

I don't like any of the topside experience of shore diving - sand in my gear, worrying about the car getting broken into, walking around in gear, etc. I like my topside experience to be either (recreational) get in gear, flop over side of boat, or (work) have others put gear on me and flop...

Both dry gloves flooded in 34 degree water at the start of a work dive so I couldn't really abort, though it was a short dive. It was new gear to me and I assumed the tender who dressed me knew the gear.

If the poor viz is because its night or due to the walls around you and ceiling over your head, yes. If not, no. In other words, just like on land.

186 feet is the max depth of the San Fran in the rock bottom of the forward cargo hold, the one with all the 800 pound bombs leaning inward ready to fall out of their rotting crates. The deck with the mini-tanks is 165 feet. 8 minutes between these two points left me with minor deco on...

Look, for the majority of warm water recreational divers the jacket is fine. I never saw any bouyancy issues due to an inability to inflate or vent a jacket BC, I have seen several with a BP/W. Certainly operator error in each case, but these errors (incuding poor wing choice leading to an air...

We've been back for awhile. The rest of the week's diving with Ed Robinson's went very well. I ended up on some pretty deep dives, which I'm fine with, and on both sides of Molokini. We saw a bunch of cool suff, including a group of baby sharks hiding togther under a ledge and a fairly...

Cuan Law did indeed, as they point out, work within the strict letter of the law of their policy. It would have been nice, however, after being told that they would make efforts to fill the boat, at least be given the chance to take the further risk of not having the boat filled (i.e. the...

Not exactly. They were four short of their stated minimum, which may have been 16. It may have been less than that, but it was 4 short of their minimum.

Sorry I can't afford to "try" (and apparently keep in my garage) multiple different sets of doubles to swap out based on what exposure protection I am wearing. I have a set of steel 120s I dive in the north Atlantic with a drysuit and a double bladder wing (and an SMB and a lift bag). When...

I realize that they are looking for a whole boat booking that week, and are not currently filled. That means that they think that they have a better chance of getting a full boat booking (like through a dive shop charter for instance) than finding four more people on our original charter...

Right now my wife is saying three nights (two days diving) at Cooper Island (first part of the week), and they do use Sail Caribbean, and the rest (4 nights I think) at Long Bay Beach Resort, which does package deals with Dive Tortola. My wife's a 2 maybe 3 dive per day person, I'll try for...

It looks like we will land base the vacation, with a few days here http://www.cooper-island.com and a few days in Tortola. By the way, see http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/cruises-liveaboards-charter-boats/254106-cuan-law-cancellation-forewarned-when-you-book.html#post3851886 It turns out...

My wife and I put money down early (for a discount) on a Cuan Law vacation that was scheduled for Dec. 7-13, 2008. We did this quite early for the discount with the understanding that if they didn't fill the boat, they would cancel. They did assure us, however, that they would use their best...

My wife and I were scheduled on the Cuan Law during the second week of December of this year. We reserved knowing it could get cancelled as the boat was not at the time full. We just got an e-mail form them cancelling the trip. They feel the can't fill the boat with the current econonic...
