I've been using a Cressi Corsica flexible snorkel for years. It fits easily in my drysuit or pockets shorts pocket and snaps back into shape afterwards. When I'm snorkeling, it works great. It's a simple freediving J-tube.

Have a snorkel on every dive, but I only wear it when snorkeling/freediving. While on scuba, it's in my left pocket.

How could the panicky diver choke you with your lose hose? While your primary is in your mouth, the hose runs around the BACK of your neck. When you grab it and offer it to the OOG diver, the loop is no longer behind your neck and is out in front you.

Your camera setup is larger than mine, but I don't think that that would be an issue. I use a Cetacea coil lanyard and when I'm using it, the shortening clip isn't engaged. So, when I let go, the camera rig will sink down well out of the way. Even a larger sytem would be out of the way.

I have my camera gear tethered to my left chest d-ring. In an out of air situation when I have my camera set up (a housed Olympus with dual strobes), I simply let go of the camera gear (which is a bit negatively bouyant) and don't pay it any attention until after I get my reg back fromt he OOG...

I'm a BP/W devotee and I don't like being at the surface in rough conditions. I'm also often well out of shape. Nonetheless, I don't have a problem staying upright in rough conditions in either my cold water or tropical BP/W setups. This might be because I use a steel BP for tropical and a...

My light is on a Goodman handle in my left hand. When photographing, I turn my left wrist bring the light closer to or farther away from the subject, as the situtation dictates. E.g., I may bring the light closer to enable focussing, then lock the focus, move the light away and take the...

There are two good dive operators on the Kohala coast: Kohala Divers and Blue Wilderness. In addition, there is good shore diving, including at Puako and Mahukona. Kohala Divers runs its boat out of Kawaihae Harbor and Blue Wilderness runs its boat out of the Puako boat ramp (say "hi" to...

Wow! Just wow! (I wonder if he thought to make a claim for the malpractice of the insurance defense lawyer.)

Plus, the criminal defendant's lawyer will, without a doubt, move to stay the civil action to avoid having his client be forced to give a deposition. If he didn't, doing the deposition would waive the defendant's right against self-incrimination. So, typically, the civil case is stayed until...

The Aeris Elite T3 is the same as the Oceanic VT3, which Huish DID acquire. I'd ask them again.

Another vote for GoAskErin. Erin Quigley is the preeminent expert in this field and is having a special offer on "bundles" of tutorials. I've "attended" a number of her live events and they are very "content rich" and helpful. I've purchased her "Zero to Hero" bundle and highly recommend it...

Just finished watching the Sea Hunt episode, "The Stunt," where Mike Nelson and an obnoxious publicity hound raced from the mainland to Catalina with their Porta-Subs. Great to see that one of them is still there.

In my experience with DSS bungee mounts (but not for Suunto), it's best to soak the mount in hot tap water to loosen it up enough to get your computer in (or out).

It's a great dive and always different. You'll never know what you'll see, from the very tiny, alien creatures to megafauna like sharks or rays. A good friend of mine has, quite literally, written the book on Hawai'i black water diving and it just came out. Buy a copy and, if you book through...

That's some "Victory at Sea" stuff, right there.

I spent a week at each Atlantis, Puerto Galera and Dumaguete. I enjoyed each week and each Atlantis facility and staff were equally excellent. Super friendly and comfortable. Insanely great food, too. And their photo facilities are beyond dreamlike. I did 60 dives each week. (It would...
