    Preferred Underwater Signaling Device

    Most replies, if any, likely will be don't bother. Horrible noisy things unless maybe you're an instructor. At this point in your career, eye contact or personal contact. Or grunting.

    Article: Shearwater Announces Nitrox Recreational Mode for Petrel

    I resent the fact that the tech diver is perfectly trimmed out while the rec diver is entirely vertical on the home page, lol.

    I like guns.

    If you guys are not aware, this is for real. It happened to me a couple times. Fortunately with nothing in the chamber. First time I thought it was me. CNBC airs documentary on Remington 700 rifle accidental discharges - National Blogosphere Buzz | Examiner.com

    Pics of 1st BP/W setup - anything wrong??

    Clearly you have kids. Lots of spearos and photogs prefer back mounted ponies, but I've come to embrace my slung (only 13) pony.

    I like guns.

    I'm considering trying my hand at reloading. I have a small loft that my daughter used as a playroom 10 or 12 years ago. I figure I can buy the benches and tools and be well ahead of the game, right. I'll shoot for free.

    I guess I shot myself in the foot when I opened that door.

    Rubber weight belt

    No issues whatsoever. I don't have much in the way of hips or butt for that matter. But to be frank, I don't carry much weight on my belt. I use steel tanks, metal back plates with trim weights on my cam straps. Probably max I've carried on the belt is 8 or 10 pounds.

    I like guns.

    If it converts energy into mechanical force, it is an engine. Physics 101. Ever hear of so called "siege engines" of the Middle Ages. Maybe not suppose. ---------- Post added April 3rd, 2014 at 11:07 PM ---------- Well, maybe it was ME 101, lol. But it still stands, an engine is a "machine"...

    I like guns.

    Ya know, we as a a civilized beings that rose from the primeval ooze have come a long way in the ways of science, art, literature and language. It is incumbent upon us to if not progress at least not digress. For the sake of our children if nothing else. Sure, "you should know what I meant"...

    Disappointing fit on Scubapro Jet Fins

    hundred dives South west fl. Are you diving caves in a drysuit pushing doubles and a stage or two? Otherwise forget the Jet Fin hype. There are dozens of fins better suited for whatever. Get a real kick out of people swearing that a smelly old outdated '50's sneaker is the best boot for these...

    I like guns.

    A clip makes it more convenient to load a magazine. I have bandoliers of 10 rd stripper clips to load my ARs' detachable box magazines. I have 8 rd clips to load the fixed magazine of my M1 Garand. I have no clips to load the tubular magazines under the barrels of my lever guns. Those I must...

    Or calling concrete cement. As one of my professors would say, "you don't call a cake flour"

    Axiom i3

    No disrespect intended here, but every BC feels great. Not sure what the I3 lever has to do with back pain. And I can dump too from any position without the busy little complicated system of cables, hydraulics or whatever. Often the diver who comes to the aid of a distressed diver is NOT his...

    Probably too late for a happy outcome. Prayers to the family and friends.

    Axiom i3

    Snarky comments, but I'll play. In the 3D diving world which way is up? Surface, right? When the diver is horizontal, head down or head up, which way is up with the bc lever? Im just a rec diver, but I solo on occasion. I sling a pony on the left, lol. In any event, I had occasion once to be...

    Frameless masks?

    When trying on a mask in the shop be certain to do so with a 2nd stage mouth piece in.
