    WTH caused the parade boats to sink in nice weather in Lake Travis?

    These days, it's increasingly hard to tell.

    Question about DIN converters......

    Don't know about the other brands and models, but my Zeagle Envoy can easily be converted from DIN to Yoke and back in less than five minutes, and that includes looking for the appropriate open end wrench.

    How many of you use a diving gear bag?

    For plane travel, I use regular luggage, but my Akona mesh duffle is inside, which I use to take my gear to and from the boat/dive site.

    Arm and tray ID help.

    The screw in the middle of the tray is, no doubt, a standard size and will accommodate any GoPro housing. It's the same as any tripod would use. The ball clamp at the end of the arm is compatible with any video light that uses a standard 1" ball mount. I don't see any reason why you'd want to...

    Is DAN membership worthless?

    I added my DAN # to the information on my CrashTag. I wear it during my dives (local and otherwise) and all the time when on vacation. It's a titanium ID tag, primarily marketed to cyclists. It has your ID, contact person info and medical info on it. And, in the highly likely case that...

    Safety? Bare Feet or Dive Boots on Liveaboard Decks?

    Some Crocs have a different sole, that works just fine on boat decks (slippery walk-in freezers). The normal ones are very slippery. Try to find the "Bistro" model or the sadly-discontinued "Boat shoe" model.

    When to do a safety stop?

    Computers don't get bent. Algorithms don't get bent. People get bent. As you're a person, take the extra steps to be safer than your computer and its algorithm. Listening to people who have taken unnecessary risks and lived, is like listening to people who drink and drive. Just because...

    Why I will definitely take the Rescue course

    I don’t know if they were even wrestlers, but you should reach out to the folks, at Life Guard Systems. World leader in Rescue Diving Courses Butch Hendricks is “the man” for rescue techniques and training. The problem isn’t that the panicked diver can get to the rescuer with his or her body...

    Why I will definitely take the Rescue course

    Many rescue experts strong recommend against trying to control a diver from the rear. Too many rescuers have been severely injured by the panicked diver's tank and/or regulator coming into violent contact with their face or head.

    Cleaning gear

    I use a large, plastic Stanley tool box. https://smile.amazon.com/Stanley-037025H-Gallon-Mobile-Chest/dp/B000Q5LZT4/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1S0F0M0CEZ99I&dchild=1&keywords=stanley+50+gallon+mobile+tool+box&qid=1596232685&sprefix=stanley+tool+box+50+gal%2Caps%2C211&sr=8-2

    Recommendations for a Newbie SoCal diver

    My best advice: - Take the Rocks, Rips and Reef course mentioned above; - Hire an instructor for your first few dives; and - Leave the camera at home, at least for the first ten dives or so. Many highly experienced warm water-only divers, including instructors, have an extremely difficult...

    Good explanation?

    That REALLY needs to be made into a t-shirt.

    Question for the truly lazy . . .

    I'm lazy, but I take the drysuit hose off when I travel to warm water. That's because when I didn't there was a salt buildup in in the end of the drysuit inflator hose and it was very sticky and nasty. It took a lot more work to clean up that it would a have taken to have removed it for that...

    What's the sign for "that's cool - thanks"

    I agree with the shaka. If I want to emphasis it, I give the shaka and follow it with a fist pump.

    Oh crap! I screwed up. Thank you Logic/Genesis DPV and Jon Nellis

    When I bought my Genesis 600, I asked Jon if he would ship it to me or should I pick it up from his West Sacremento location. He, instead, suggested we meet in Monterey and go diving. Of course, that's what we did! He gave some instruction and then we did a dive from The Breakwater in...
