Good god, are you cool.

So I'm worried I'm done. The Last Dive Deep Descent Fatal Depth Neutral Buoyancy The Helldiver's Rodeo And, of course, all the various course material. Is that it? There must be another one. I don't want to resort to this. Or just reading books on trimix blending or deco theory for...

Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for.

... I'm wearing 12lbs in a 7mm in freshwater, what would be a good weight to start tinkering in a 3mm in saltwater? Edited to add: no gear configuration change. Just the wetsuit, from a 7mm full to a 3mm full.

Well, as others have guessed... it's for Advanced Nitrox & Deco, including the doubles config, not just a class on how to used doubles.

Not being a doubles diver I can't give advice on this. But I can tell you that I am also considering doubling up sometime this year and that the instructor at my LDS says the course requirement is 100 dives (or so).

I actually had a query along these lines to ready me for a liveaboard I'm getting on at the end of this month. 10 - 15% per crewmate or 10 - 15% for the whole crew? Does one pass money to the crew directly or does, say, the captain make a collection on the last day of the trip? I reckon I...

LP parts are actually carved out of balsa wood. How else do you think they could sell everything so cheap?

Why would you get any Superhero outfit but Aquaman's?

To really irritate the mathematicians out there: Figure in Open Water you're going to start to ascend at 30'/min as soon as the freeflow begins. So you're not talking about a freeflow at 5ATA, you're talking about a freeflow at decreasing ATAs. I bring it up because I can't do math and...

A few weeks ago, on the last dive of my cavern class, my instructor and team are hanging at our deco stop when we see a couple of guys in rental gear with lights, cameras, and guages dangling all over the place go crawling into the cavern. I think to myself, "There's an accident waiting to...

So between you people and my smarty-pants instructors I'm becoming a scuba snob. I learned this tonight as I'm thumbing through a "free" booklet from Rodales which was in the mail today entitled Dive Like a Pro where I found the following passage: ************ "Why do I sink when I stop...

Get the Mosquito.

Another vote for the Manta Spring Straps.

I'm thinking about getting a custom built Dive Rite 905. Wondering if other folks have gone this route? Whether it was worth it? How much customization they actually made on the thing and whether that was worth the price? Problem is I'm tall as hell, but not nearly as barrel-chested (nor...

I agree with Yerba Mate in the question, why change out what works? However, if you do decide on the Ranger, I doubt you would be happier. It's a great BC. I've got the Ranger LTD and love diving with it. I'm not entirely sure I would get the LTD again, though, instead of just the...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That's a whole other hill of beans. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

This type of nonsense has no place in a discussion of Halcyon products or anything DIR related, for that matter. .... PS: to those who keep harping on "This guy doesn't know what he's talking about:" I suspect as a reviewer for a dive magazine (and not just Bob's Localy Underfunded Divers...
