I thought this way until I got a hoseless computer with a transmitter. Nice to have air usage info stored in the computer and the computer can figure time to air-out. I dive with a watch and spg too...

These days all I have is a davis PLASTIC sextent. Even a great fix with this won't do good enough to justify the marine tables, and wont stress the avaition ones (except if you are lucky...). But I have Ho229

I have/can but am severly out of practice. Sight reduction work sheets simplify the job quite a bit. With practice you can get accuracy to well below a mile (or so I was told..I NEVER did that well). Whe I was learning the rule in class is if you were ever off the actual position by more than a...

This looks like a good summary of florida law, but compleatly ignorse federal law, which can be immportant in some cases. This is particularly important in the case of war ships (property of any countries navies), not relinquished or decomissioned. These are covered by special clauses in...

How do i get in touch with DEPP?? I did a google search and found lots of discussion, but no link to insurance (well lost of links to insurance but no DEPP..)

Unless you want to get them filled in europe. There are standards there for the painting of the tank according to the contents. Air tanks are rust orange body with a black and white 'upper sholder'. But who carries there own tanks overseas...

There are DR weight pockets available in two sizes (16 lbs and 32 lbs, the amount of weight they will carry). I have a transpac and the 32 lbs pockets and love it. I normally use softweights in them but have used chunk lead too. As for the trim weights, check your trim, in the water, before you...

DC will make changes to a neo z if you ask. I have had the boots changed on mine and a pocked added.

I got mine as West Marine and at camping supply stores. You might try greatoutdoorsdepot.com, which claimed to have them 6 months ago. The flares are made by Orion Safety Products, which lists them and other similars in their current catalogue. Any Orion distriubutor should be able to get...

Went to the LDS to buy a dry suit. The owner was pretty well known for fitting dry suits. They had several in my size and I bought one. It had a self donning zipper that ran from the left shoulder down to the right hip. Then the dive store owner helped me trim the seals. Then they sent it off to...

According to the "special rules" for this forum (sitcky thread at at the top of the forum) "the only name you may use is your own".

I was diving in Monterey with a dive buddy that used halcion, while I used my carter bag. He, a well respected local tech diver, was reaonably impressed by my bag (as much as a bag can be impressive...). It was easier to inflate (oraly) than the halcion, bigger reflective area and d ring for a...

My BC inflators are held on by little screw on plastic and metal clamps. Available at DiveRite Express for about $2.00 for two. Have always felt that these were more secure than zip ties, but now that I think about I don't really know if they are...

Nothing wrong with thinking twice about somehing that can be dangerious. I always (knock on wood) double check that my SPG reads something reasonable, by computer looks good, my reg delivers air, my bc inflates and deflates, my mask and fins are on and stable. Flying I follow checklists...

I was sued once for providing basic first aid at a car accident, even though california has a shield law. The plantiff brought suite against everyone involved, including the police and fire department. Anyone can file suit anytime. The case was thrown out at the first hearing.

I had a similar reaction, many years ago in mexico (cozemel??) Was diving with a local DM and as we passed by a big rock a large green moray can out of the rock at me. I nearly s*** in my suit, but the DM stopped and held his arms out to the side. The moray then wrapped its self around him like...

Sailboats can do this by playing with the interaction of the wind in the sails, and the water against the keel (or center/dagger board) and the rudder. It is because they can manage enrgy in two different medums at the same time that the don't just get blown in the direction of the wind...

If you think scuba is expensive try flying. Private Pilots license about 5k, insturment rating another 5K. Multi engine rating 3k. Insurance another $500 each year. Small planes about $100 an hour to rent, perhaps 100K to buy. Nicer ones up from there easily reaching 300k to 500k. VFR charts...

Take it to a good watch shop (if shuch exist anymore) or anOmega dealer and they can adjust it. Should be able to get 5 minutes a year or so...

You should really check with the dive shop and/or maker. That said I would GUESS (being about 3000 miles away..) that what has happened is that the lacquer or anodizing on the tank has come off the tank some how, and a bit of corrosion started. Tanks are laquered to keep them looking nice in...
