By the way, the same alcohol is in . . . the lense cleaners you get at the eye-doctors office. Stan

Someone on this board posted a link to a video of a style of kicking with your knees bent. I tried it and have been using it now for about a year. I looked for the post and can't find it. Someone help! Stan

Once, at the age of about 7, I brought home some object I found walking home from school. Upon questioning by my Father on the source of said object, I replied that I didn't know who the owner was. I have always remember his reply, "But . . ., you know it is not yours." Stan

While wading and flyfishing, a bull will come up and get aggressive. The best method to discourge him is the Shark Stomp. Just stomp your foot on the sand a couple of times and the shark takes off. Stan

Almost all of the commercial divers I know dive and work solo. Solo diving does have some increased risks, but if approached conservatively and with proper experience and training, it offers additional rewards. Many cert agencies are looking at offering solo specialty courses and in my...

Diving in general is unwise for poorly trained people. Stan

Doc, you can run, but you can't hide. The whole web is in the alpha version my friend. :confused:

On a vest type BCD you have exaxtly the same opportunities for weight distribution as you have on BP/W. You can hang them anywhere you like. The real difference is that the opportunities for air to become trapped away from a standard vent area, like your infaltion tube, in a BCD is...

There can only be one truth . . . so, which model is truth? Stan

That is correct, however, most LDS that are not in a high Nitrox use area, do not bank mixed Nitrox. Filling the first 350 to 450 PSI in pure O2 requires the tank be O2 (100%) ready. To me the real danger is from an LDS that banks Nitrox. The O2 side of the system must be O2 clean, but the...

Two dives, three weeks APART. Why bother, so much depends on how deep, how cold, what are you doing . . . Stan

I mean, hey, yea, like, old people are more likely to die. We don't need no stinting you to remind us dude. Stan ;)

Hey, I have the same problem with old tuxedos, the damn things just shrink. Also, the 'new sizes' just aren't the same. Stan

I was using a new BARE 4 - 5 mm full suit his weekend and notced a problem with Buoyance comtrol. For the most part, we were shallow, 25 feet or less. A dive platform was submerged at about 14 feet. Here is the problem. After adjusting surface weighting to a rough amount (20 lbs) I found...

Hey, If you're concerned, why not just put the shot bag in a ziplock sandwich bag and dive. Stan

I log dives for specific reasons. I do not log all of my dives. For example, I log all dives on vacation, even if they are shallow, because I wan't to remember them and the good, bad and ugly about a dive spot. I also log most dives at a new location. This helps me assess the site for future...

And, there is a reason for this, outside of liability. I've seen inexperienced night divers, with many logged dives, run into a problem that in daylight wouldn't cause them a second thought, but at night they became anxious enough to cause the DM to have to call the dive. Why should everyone...

Na, he was supposed to read the book. However, PADI is a little fuzzy about depth after an open water diver gets 'experience in the OW book. In the Adventures in diving book, the're more specific about depths. Stan

In the seventies, PADI had a bad rep for being very hard and militaristic in their approach to training. What changed? Stan
