There was a half serious comercial effort to get some deep water species using ROVS and traps.
As far as I know it failed due to a lack of interest and overhead costs of keeping and acclimatizing those species to aquariums.
It's not just the difficulty of doing a 100+ meter dive, there's...
I prefer the shadow mounts for smaller tanks, especially if you are switching them on the boat with not a lot of space. Easier to take them off and put them back on.
Most overtuned or badly maintained regs will start to free flow if you create a small pressure differential by swishing it around or turning the mouthpiece up.
Theoretically if it causes a freeflow the freeflow might cause the first stage to ice up preventing you from stopping the free flow...
I had the misfortune of having divers I was guiding get themselves dragged into breaking surf twice. Both times it was a buddy pair that had no experience of diving in bad weather or in any kind of current really. One time we had a rope long enough for me to drag to them and the boat managed the...
Problem with filming is that at some point or another it will distract you for a couple of moments. A couple of distracted moments can be the last nudge needed for the O'**** mountain to come crashing down on you.
Even in this case, after all the lapses in common sense and diving procedures if...
Air pockets are common in ships that sink quickly, the thing is just because it's an air pocket does not mean it's permanently breathable. Most people think of whole rooms being filled with air, in reality it's tiny corners where a person succumbs to hypoxia or co2 rather quickly. Even if they...
Except Poseidon I can't think of any other unit that can't be serviced by just about anybody with basic wiring knowledge.
Some units almost force you to DIY, last time when I asked for a rewiring for my meg the quote was over 1000 euros. Yaaaay Eu.
Any solvent, acetone, wd-40, carbo cleaner, concentrated dish soap will get rid of it in seconds. Just rinse in water after it and there is no way that the rubber gets damaged.
I keep looking at the triton or fx and they keep looking back at me. I wonder how much stability and "comfort" would they give with a twinset dill setup.
Is your dump valve on the shoulder or a bit down the arm?
Switch the ADV for something else, the original has 2 settings, leaky and impossible to breath from. I hated diving my pathfinder until i tried out my friends CL with a apkes reg for adv. It solved 90% of my buoyancy issues.
I felt like Tom Cloony batman until I switched to silicone loop...
