I am not sure exactly what type of yoga it was. But basically it was teaching relaxation techniques through yoga. Alot of the focus was in conciously focusing on breathing slowing each breath as long as you can. The instructor told us to practice often, and now at work I will practice for 5...

you mentioned that you want to dive drysuit given this you should make sure that you have at least a 40lbs lift in you bc. If you go with a BP/W like halcyon, you can get a new wing without having to get the plate etc......that supports a re-breather. I would however caution, given that...

I ALWAYS hit the pool first. Last thing I want to do is to get caught under the ice when I am not 100% confident. When we do not have ice here, vis in lakes is usually under 3 feet. Not the place to have a buddy easily help you. As for do I have a process, yes, and sortof. Basically...

My wife and I took a Yoga class designed specifically to control breathing. Basically we got about 20% better rates the next time we hit the water. Entering the zen breathing zone slowing breathing (not stopping or skip breathing). This limits co2 build up in the lungs while extending...

would have to see it. Some people do it too fast with fins on, or have fins that are not suitable for it. Can you tell us what type of fins, Split etc... and give us an idea of how fast you are trying to go. Typically frog kicking is for enclosed spaces, where someone is going SLOW, IE a...

I have a Tusa zen that I picked up when I want to travel for work and have little more than my dive comp traveling with me. It is FANTASTIC, easy to use, relatively cheap and light. Basically for simple diving you just jump in and go and it does most everything. Also if you plan on doing a...

I have seen this one before. My guess is that someone was using dry suit, and did not fasten the belt tight enough. It falls off the hips and hits the bottom, with the diver unable to go down to retrieve it. I have seen it happen a couple of times now. Just a guess, but a well educated one...

Thanks Guys. I took the gear into the pool yesterday and played around with placement. Has anyone ever tried it on the upper arm? I tried on the waist and shoulder straps and it seems like it would be difficult to mount. PS. my sheath is a hard plastic sheath. Does anyone have...

Hey Everyone This might seem like a dumb question, but, I have a new titanium dive knife that I am debating where to put it. Traditionally I have strapped it to my lower leg, however the possibilities for this one, allow it on my wing shoulder or waist straps, or along side my gear pouch on...

It was my understanding that the individual was taking a class at the time. To me this suggests neglegence of some form or the other for failure to provide a student with appropriate supervision. I worry about what dive shop it was for two reasons. First I have seen terrible to great safety...

Hey Guys Has anyone heard what the dive shop was for the diver that was killed in Banff over the weekend? It seems that they took out a student, he became seperated approx 5' visibility and by the time that they located him he had run out of air. Funny that the student did not surface...

Hey Guys My wife is looking at doing some more cold water diving with me this winter. what drysuit does everyone like best? I am looking for something that is easy to slip on and off - probably the kind with internal suspenders but hey I am open. let me know. Thanks

a large number of skin issues are caused by bacteria. Usually this is in warmer moister areas like behind the knees or in the hair line. In salt water there are free chlorine ions that have a killing effect on bacteria on the skin. Hence why we see saltwater pools these days. A mild anti...

I would say you should be good to go. 800' of air really will not affect you that much, given that at a min you would likely have a boat ride, time getting changed etc... as a surface interval. You likely would have burned off the large majority of the nitrogen by the time you start crapping...

Hey Everyone I live in AB, Canada My wife recently picked up a non-air integrated tusa Zen wrist mounted dive computer. We absolutely love it and have reached the limits of the dives that it is capable of logging. As we are reaching this limit and because we have a more robust scuba trip...

Hey Guys Does anyone know where I can find the special cable and software to connect to a Tusa Zen dive computer? I can find sites that let me order the actual unit, but none that I can order the software or cable from. Let me know.

Unconventional, but I have tried the following with good success. 1) Take a echanatia (sorry not sure on the spelling) 2) Take a vitamin c supplement 3) Hydrate well 4) Take a humidifier and or steaming kettel with you under a towel - breath deeply - this will help loosen the conjestion...

Up here in canada most dive teams are in addition to a day job of fire fighter , policeman etc... If you want a trully dive related job where you do nothing but dive you should check out underwater welder. They make a fortune up here and are constantly booked up. That or tank inspector /...

Images of student divers not fully securing a tank, standing up beside a pool. The tank drops, the valve breaks and you have and instant rocket. LOL Brings new meaning to rapid ascent :) Not to mention students dropping tanks on first stages, sannd being jammed into valves etc... Other...

well first 2 things. This does not include enough information for us to give you approximate pricing. It is like asking for an approximate price on a car without the make, model etc.... As you probably know scuba gear like most other technical sports equipment can vary significantly in...
