The deep dives under supervision are training and experience, that's his point. People will dive deep at resorts and such no matter what, they might as well have done some stuff deep with an instructor before doing that.

How to tie one of these and I need to: http://www.diverescueintl.com/doc/surface_air.pdf Top left pic, the braid used on a quick disconnect snap shackle. Anyone got a good pic or better yet one of those step by step knot things? thanks..... Maybe this...

Its what risk you are willing to live with. In scuba, the gear is generally designed to fail in way that gives you air: regs tend to fail in free flow. Bad, but at least there's some air there to breath. With easy to ditch weights, the failure sends you up. There's air up there, even in a...

I'll give you two, both of which I helped fix/rescue on a recent dive trip: Sand or debris stuck in the power inflator, attempts to blast air into it both through the inflator and orally send air right out the dump. This happened to my brother (in rental gear) at depth, who was my dive buddy...

I dive non-ditchable weight all the time . . . when I'm on a surface supply umbilical with hard line coms, a safety diver geared up ready to come get me, and something like six people supporting me from topside. If you're doing basic recreational scuba and you need lead, and virtually...

http://www.decadiving.com/harnes.html Third from bottom, single jock strap & chest strap. You can attach non-ditchable weight pockets to it. You can easily secure a surface supply block to it. You can secure two tank staps to this if you choose to dive without a BC (like if you're in a hat...

More so than I think any other PSD, you need a whole bunch of surface support on hull searches - line tenders and the like (which gets into your SOPs - bite reg scuba with a tether [only practical way to do a full or half necklace really]? AGA with hard line coms and scuba, surface supply AGA?)...

I don't know where you are, my chilly friend, but I haven't gone skiiing in two years due to lack of snow. The last good snowstorm where I am was 2003, and it melted in a week. I would have thought that the deniers had fully traversed from the "global warming isn't happening at all" camp...

The tables don't even start until what, 30 feet? I regularly dive for work in depths of less then thirty feet on surface supply in a drysuit. During those dives the only limit is my bladder. The dives are hours long.

We ate at all three places, forgto the names. Was Nancy's the one on the beach?

Just got back, three days of diving each location. We had reserved at Pepe's in Pulmo, including wiring a deposit. My brother had arranged for his referral OW cert to be finished there, including PayPalling a deposit. My brother showed up first and Pepe's had never heard of him. They would...

Anyone see that Discovery show on ice trucking? Apparently various rivers and lakes in Canada form a highway of sorts of 18 wheelers supplying industrial sites way up north when they freeze. Occasionally the 18 wheelers go through the ice. Many stay stuck half sunk at the waterline and freeze...

A non WAAS system will get you within maybe 30-40 feet. With WAAS maybe 10 feet on a good day. WAAS is a system of ground based transmitters in North America that correct slight errors in the satalite signals. You need to be in a WAAS area with a WAAS enabled GPS for it to work. Europe has a...

I dive for work and recreationally. When I dive for work I'm in a drysuit, a lot of exposure protection under the drysuit, on surface suppy air, am either in an AGA or commercial diving helmet, carry at least 35 pounds of lead, an AL80 as a pony, and at least 20-30 pounds of additional gear...

We ended up diving here: http://www.dive-in-caribik.com/content/front_content.php A bit of an adventure getting to the island and the gear was not what we were used to (steel 120s I think), but the diving was superb and the people were great. We ended up doing two dives (one on a two engine...

I got my wife (my usual dive buddy) a 4 foot closed safety sausage without any line. Its meant for surface use only. She really doesn't have the skill (or want to learn) how to handle lines in the water. This is fine with me, at least she's being realistic. I'm a public safety diver so I...

This: http://www.scuba.com/resources/waterbornestrap/index.html Anyone know if this has enough strap length to fit around a dry suit?

The case did not discuss causation. It was focused solely on the holding, quoted below. "From these legal principles we conclude that decedent did not have the legal authority to bargain away his heirs' statutory rights to institute a wrongful death action in exchange for the privilege of...
