    black spots inside aluminum tank??

    Sounds like mold to me too. Unfortunately, I think most everything that kills mold is a liquid. (And you probably don’t want to mess with the gases that will work like chlorine.) If it is mold, a weak bleach solution will do the job. One cup bleach per gallon of water, and let it sit for...

    what weight belt to get

    The XS Scuba weight belt is a really good one. They have four, six, and eight pouch models. I have it mated with shot weights and a stainless depth compensating buckle. Works great. Thought about going to a weight harness, but decided it was too bulky...

    VR3 or Cochran for KISS?

    Henry, I’m not RB certified, so I can’t address that specifically. But what I can say is that you won’t go wrong with the VR3. The issue with shops is this: it doesn’t matter. If you have a problem with it, it will have to be shipped back to Great Britain. I know this because mine...

    Things you will never hear a Southerner say...

    HEY, I’m a vegetarian. And I’m, uh…. oh… the only one I know… -- You might be Southern if you know the grammatical difference between “y’all” and “all y’all.”

    Deviated Septum Fix it or Not?

    First off, a septoplasty is VERY unlikely to help even a little bit with equalization. That being said, there’s a legitimate place for the operation as an overall quality of life issue. It will help you breath better, can reduce snoring, and can make colds and allergies less miserable...

    Some advice for a drysuit newbie?

    I just started diving dry with a Diving Concepts 2 mm compressed neoprene suit and a Weezle Extreme Undersuit. My problem? The usual - floaty feet. And I can’t blame the suit because it fits PERFECTLY. But as a dry diving newbie (15 dives) I could really use some advice. Reef and wreck...
