    Giant stride from 20 foot height in a dry suit

    Just don't take a breath at the lower limit of your initial penetration and then pop back up th the surface. You'll end up foaming blood.

    Spare Air – The Best Item in Your Scuba Toolbox

    Just got back from a trip. Used two joined and slung spare airs. Easier to pack in checked luggage and lighter weight than a 19 cf pony. If needed the first one will get me to 60 feet from the approximately100' planned depth. The second will get me to the surface. Non deco dives. Works...

    After Airplane Flight my computer thinks I've been on a 5' dive for the last 5 hours

    The reset procedure can't be used because it behaves as if I'm on a dive. I will pull the battery. Another identical computer also logged a 5' dive during the flight but then turned itself off. I always thought they had to be wet to turn themselves on and start a dive? ---------- Post added...

    How much will a BC self inflate in checked luggage?

    Bonne Terre...St. Louis...Ferguson

    Ferguson is seriously gunned up right now. Local Cabela's was using iPads to pre-checkout people just like McDonalds at rush time. There were cops in the aisles helping people with ammo /gun choices. As a result, I wouldn't be surprised if the local crime rate goes waaay down. After the...

    How much will a BC self inflate in checked luggage?

    Just wondered. One time I had a deflated football in a carry on bag and it inflated itself and squashed my sandwich. That was in the cabin so I figure the unpressurized cargo hold must be worse.

    Dive Rite RG3 ? feedback

    My other regs are Aqualung Titan , Sherwood Bruts and a Sherwood Blizzard. The Blizzard is my go to reg for single tank dives, the DG03 are for doubles and stage bottles, the Titan lives on an O2 bottle since, despite detuning, it tends to freeflow (has enviro seal) in cold water. They all...

    Red Sea & Egypt

    Maybe we don't feel safe there because we took the time to read the Koran and the Hadith and prefer to not be murdered by believers?

    Save me from myself (Too "safe"?)

    If further away from land than I think I can swim, or over 60 feet deep, or deco obligation, or overhead then I will carry the following stuff. If I am diving with my wife then we can split most of it between us. 3 regs, at least two tanks (one can be small depending on deco and plan) Two...
