    LGBTQ Divers?

    How do I avoid ending up on a boat with all these special alphabet letter people? I mean, they might make fun of me or crack a joke or something! I guess I could only go on boats with TDI people, or PADI, or NACD or... ---------- Post added February 3rd, 2015 at 12:28 AM ---------- Really...

    Skip the dry suit. Diving wet you'll be thinking that 20 minutes of bottom time and no deco is just fine.

    Hollis DG03 help

    You can switch to any of the gases you pre-entered at any time during any dive. I believe, however, that you have to be a few feet down before you can make it switch. AFAIK there is no way to practice a switch on the surface.

    80 divers will search for the black boxes of AirAsia Flight 8501

    Investigation fairly easy? You're at 100 feet. Your gas is ticking down. You're in "0" visibility. There is a 5 knot current. The fuselage sections are relatively intact and filled with bodies, luggage, seats, narrow aisles and all the miles of wiring that are in a plane. What do you...

    Night diving or low viz diving

    Just don't ever use a battery powered marker light because it is "greener" than a glo-stick. Battery plants are literally "hell on earth".
