If for some reason you really want to carry only one deco tank and your primary tank is not enough to complete the deco in case of a lost deco stage.... then this still makes very little sense. Why the shut off valves? It's a single regulator, you shut it of by closing the valve, that's what...

Are you all high? I can order any of the top 5 rebreathers on the market with no questions asked. If not directly from the manufacturer then trough one of the dozens of resellers. I bought 2 used units so far without anyone asking for my cert. I just sold my unit to a guy who has yet to find a...

Filled it with air, breathed off the loop or surface supplied o2.

Both the number of cards and the number of dives are completely irrelevant. I have over 1k dives on the same exact dive site in benign conditions and I also have a couple rebreather certs. I would still die if I tried to do a 2km cave penetration as the totality of my previous experience had...

Man what I would give for an opportunity to buy some of those guys a beer. This is one of my favourite YouTube channels.

That page screams "SCAM" so hard that my tinnitus got worse.

If the company is bankrupt or going trough liquidation all money on the company account is transferred to a holding account that the person you talked to has no access to. Giving away a IBAN is safe, a lot safer than giving away a credit card number.

Water in the wing is also a possibility, was there a unusual amount of it when you got out of the water?

Shearwater support in EU is terrible, or at least it was 2 years ago when I had to deal with it. I had a defective Terric with the know battery issue. The store I bought it at refused to exchange it and the shearwater repair facility asked for 500 euros to put in a new battery.

I took a few years of pause from guiding and on the first dive I did with 2 clients I managed to make them go almost OOG in 15 minutes, I was still just above half tank. It's mostly my mistake, I'm in the water to guide them, not run the dive site as fast as possible, it's their mistake for not...

People, please remember. Using 2 or more D-rings orphans thousands of very cute baby otters every year. Don't double ring.

Not really connected but I really, really wish I could find a decent wing with a top right shoulder dump. I hate fighting through stages and going ass up to dump... air.

Considering my undying affection for everyone wielding a camera, as far away from me as possible :D The med is the med, can't really expect tropical temperatures this far north. During this summer we had 28-29C temperatures in the middle of the Adriatic and those were record breaking, most of...

Valencia is meh, at least to me. Marbella is ok if you want to be on the mainland. Ibiza, Mallorca and Menorca are some of the best diving the Med can offer if you can ignore/join all the partying tourists in the summer season. The marine reserves are pretty much my wet dream, incredible how...

I don't need permission, a beer is enough.

What makes it the greatest? Historically insignificant. Badly damaged. Constantly overcrowded. It's not a bad dive in any sense, hundreds of divers that visit it every day are proof of that, but it's like calling a Disneyland ride the adventure of a lifetime.

Oh no, will the rain get you wet before you jump in the water?

Limestone is hard enough, plenty of people are climbing and using cams on limestone walls. The problem is how are you going to load test it and how will the cam behave after days/months of immersion, under load.

Even small habitats have 200-300kg of lift, the once we used were 600L That's a lot of power to trust a cam to hold it down. If you already have a sturdy ceiling that will hold your habitat in place it's a shame not to use it if the logistics allow.

CCB have been used in freediving as a (not really legal) performance enhancers. They delay and reduce the loss of motor control that comes before a blackout. Lower BP also effects o2 consumption and reduces recovery times between dives. Most of the extreme static records were done while high, or...
