    Offshore drilling bill passes house - CONTACT YOUR SENATORS!

    I think the point here is, not to "just let" the extinction of the human species happen. The real question revoles around: 1. The 'possible' result of inaction. Please note that in the past, the world was much warmer. How can we be sure? Because if you drill under my home in Shreveport...

    Is the Scuba Sign Over-rated?

    I drive a pontoon boat . . . and I only occassionally run over a scuba diver. ( However I must tell you, that a few years ago a diver surfaced near a duck blind in Caddo Lake, and a hunter shot him ( he died ) because he thought he was a 'Sea Monster'. WHOA! Stan

    Offshore drilling bill passes house - CONTACT YOUR SENATORS!

    At the time of the 1973 oil embargo, we imported about 43 % of our oil from OPEC producing countries. Currently, we import 60+ % of oil from OPEC. Our demand is inflated by both the choices we make in the vehicles we drive and the lack of alternative (including nuclear) energy sources we...

    You can get 24 MPG out of the same Ford engine in a full size car (Crown Victoria) that you get 15 MPG out of a truck. Why? Because the standards for a 'truck' are lower. Some say gear ratios in trucks are the problem, BS, in 1958 we had dual ratio rear-ends in racing cars. This gives you...

    BCD vs BP/W

    While some BCD's may require additional weight, most do not. They are designed to be neutral in buoyancy. Mine certainly is. On a quality BCD's, multiple vents allow equally effective venting. Here are the positives for BCD's over BP/w's: 1. Less expensive. 2. More comfortable...

    After item two, you're in such deep dudo, nothing you say will fix it. I find it works better to buy the equipment on a 'diving trip for you' and a vacation for her. Stan

    Do Not Touch

    Here is the problem. If you dive, you will damage some form of life. I've seen massive damage from anchors in the Keys, often in the protected park areas. Setting up mooring buoys can help, but still many divers want to see the 'edge' of the reef and drop their CQR plows or Danforths on it...

    For computer users only... safety stops.

    I dive a Genesis React Pro and it sets the SS at 20'. My stop procedure goes like this: 1. If the maximum depth is less than 60' and if I am in the Green on the React Pro, then I do 5 min @ 20'. 2. If the maximum depth is greater than 60, but less than 100, I do a 2 min stop at 60', a 2 min...

    What is average surface air consumption?

    Hey, if you want great SAC rates, get your doctor to prescribe a heart rate reduction drug like Toprol (or another Beta Blocker), or just dive enough to get more relaxed underwater. Stan
