Definitely worth mentioning. I'll generally try to pick up stuff when diving or paddling locally, for the simple reason that trash attracts more trash. Some people will toss garbage no matter what, but there are many who would be a lot less likely to throw the first piece of trash in an...

Linda, it was beyond generous for you to take time and energy at this moment in your life to share this information with other divers. Thank you. Wishing you healing and peace.

If only. The whole point is that that's impossible to do when someone else has chosen to blast music at too high a volume for anyone to ignore or escape. I've had this happen on liveaboard trips and it always puzzles me how those who are inclined to do it seem to have no insight about how their...

That's so inspiring! And the mountain's nice, too. :D

You're ahead of the curve. Most people are still trying to figure out how they can lose weight, then stop doing that so they can get back to the "normal" that put the weight on in the first place. I'm actually in the middle of a book project on that very topic. I'm really glad to hear you're...

This just shows you that what we now think of as "normal" doesn't actually work well at all.

Sold. Air evacuation isn't a far-fetched notion at all if you're diving anywhere off the beaten path, which is probably most of us at one time or another. I've been at the Master level all these years and that suddenly seems like such a dumb choice, considering. I'm upgrading to Guardian since...

There's not much that you can feel besides the pain for a while. It won't kill you even if it feels like it might. Eventually, it helps to choose to focus when you can on gratitude for the life you got to share while you had the chance. It's not the same (or as good as) having them back, but...

I didn't read it as a big danger sign about Dutch at all. I've been to Dutch once and was very impressed, and thought the article reflected my own experience there. I thought Dutch actually came out looking pretty good, myself. And rightfully so.

You can choose to believe what the Bible says about the future, and I can choose not to believe it. As the future remains in a stubborn state of "hasn't happened yet," we both have the same inability to prove whether we are right. Neither of us can state our beliefs as anything more than our own...

Wonderful news, Bob! :)

Richard, I don't share your beliefs much at all but I am in awe of how unfailingly civil and respectful you are as you share them. I haven't read the whole thread (merely considering the thought gives me a headache), but wherever I have stopped in to read a few posts, your tone has always been...

I ultimately got some really nice talc at a good price from dave4868 here on SB, though it looks like he may not be active here now. I believe he goes by the same username on eBay. Great produce and unmatched customer service from him--I hope he's still in the business. I also gave the K-Y a...

Granted, you are now irresistible to the opposite sex of every species but homo sapiens. I wish I could have known then what I know now.

I'm not sure if this will help, but here's the info from GetHuman.com: Facebook Customer Phone Number | Shortest Wait | Best Support | GetHuman.com

I'm sure it was. And he's right. It would be nice if what you're looking for was possible, though.

I think this is a brilliant mental exercise, actually. No, you can't physically practice dumping weights at the end of every dive, but you could certainly consider end-of-dive weight-dumping the default which you choose not to do each time you surface and everything is fine. I think this would...

Two things: First, how do you fix a problem that results from numerous variables in numerous locales, involving multiple agencies? If you personally took this on as a mission, how would you realistically do it? Second, what's wrong with having a checklist? Everyone, diving or otherwise, has...
