It was a part of the SSI OWD course in the 2000-2005 period, we used to use the instructional video during our courses and using a snorkel was mentioned as something important during a giant stride entry.

"Sir, are you in distress?" "Yup"

To wipe snot away. There is a time and place for every scuba procedure we use. You would not do an air share emergency ascent when someone hits 100 bars during the safety stop. If the weather is nice, the water warm I will happily lounge about on the surface waiting for everyone else to get on...

There were 3 explosion. One of the pipeline was cut in 2 places with precision explosives while another was brute forced. The hundreds of meters of pipeline that the media is talking about is the section that was cut off by 2 explosions.

The authorities are only allowing fire rescue divers to dive, and fire rescue divers are only allowed to use accredited equipment, which is mostly used to recover bodies from cars in rivers. I just hope none of the recovery divers get hurt, it's a body recovery operation in everything but name.

The pipeline is well charted even in commercial charts, let alone military ones. It's easy to find, that's not the mystery. A garmin side scan sonar with a screen will go up to a 1500 euros if you really want to find it the hard way. Anchoring is also easy to do. You toss one anchor out for...

The choice of the boat is not that bad, nobody would bat an eye to a couple of people lounging on a small sailing yacht messing around some area. It's got a good amount of room to stow all the gear and an idea that a team of terrorists/saboteurs would fill out paperwork and charter a captain...

"top notch tech diving gear" Since we are assuming from a very scarce set of information, let's at least use the little info we have in our thought experiment. Top notch tec gear is not ditchable, at least not quickly while panicking. The diver may have been on a rebreather, may have been on...

A closed tank should be a minor inconvenience, not a death sentence. Everyone can panic, no matter the experience, perhaps he inhaled a bit of water while going down and got a lagringospasm, flooded sinuses or something similar.

The pipe was buried in 1-2m of gravel and concrete. Finding it is easy, diving it is trivial. Half the rebreather divers on this forum could do it, and most of us are fat nerds. Excavating or placing enough explosive to blast trough it on the other hand. Not that easy.

This looks like a older model omer alien frame slapped over with a scubapro brand, probably one of the thousands chinese OEM clones. I have one for over 10 years now. Low profile spearfishing masks usually fit everyones face much better than bulky scuba models and offer the same, if not larger...

Freedivers, especially spearfisherman and others who spend a lot of time in the water pick up scuba diving really quickly. Probably because of the comfort level and general breath control. Right now I'm out of shape both in cardio and in water skills and my SAC is still way lower than most...

A gps trolling engine at the front so you don't have to haul anchor and a seakeaper make just about any boat into a luxury yacht, I'm jealous.

I'm going to pretend you picked that piece of plastic up after you got over the frustration.

The idea of primary donate is that the panicked oog diver will go after the first reg he sees and take it. The reality is that he will take the reg and grab onto you for dear life which may restrict your mobility or cover the reg around your neck making it unreachable. Last time I donated a...

The drag created by horizontal trim helps with maintaining depth, and proper fining techniques help you make small adjustments. In vertical trim if you start to unintentionally ascend the only thing you can do is exhale and do a half flip to swim down. That said it dosn't really matter how you...

No amount of experience helps with task loading under narcosis. Muscle memory will help to keep you swiming but have you ever tried to dive your rig to 50-60m on air? I can almost guarantee that your photos will be a bit more blurry than you believed them to be underwater. On the other hand...

Yes it is. Even if the effect is not physiological cold water diving demands more gear, and more gear brings task loading.

Wouldn't really know, as far as I understand it is that the 1.3 works better with thicker shafts. For mediteranean fishing I was really happy with the cyrano evo with the 1.1 piston and a vacuum kit.
