You have to fall out of a boat at night, drift away a bit as you sink below 60', see some fish on the way down and come back alive. Then you have to negotiate an impossible navigation course in near zero viz where your only hope of passing is to outlast the instructor in cold water or run him...

I'd be so insulted I would post it on the internet. That would show 'em how bad I really am... BTW- my hoses are always the color that's on sale and my weights are pink and blue...

Because without bleach in the water you get legionella growing in the water.

I usually like to be just as nervous as the new buddy so I giant stride in with sunglasses on, dive computer on the boat, regulator behind my back and dry suit unzipped. Breaks the ice...

I think this argument is flawed. Galvanizing (primarily zinc) is even more anodic (approx. 1.25) than aluminum (.75-.9) and therefore even further away from any of the common stainless steels (.5-.6?). Zinc should be much more likely to sacrifice itself when in contact with stainless. And if you...

All instructions for stage bottle rigging stress isolating the stainless steel hose clamp from the bottle with webbing, inner tube, electrical tape, etc. No one I have seen insulates their doubles from the stainless steel bands. Urban myth?

Chris or Dennis can likely find someone for you to dive with if you just show up.

If I had not been taught how to properly do a CESA I would have died on my 3rd open water checkout dive. Several standards violations by the instructor led to that dive being a night dive to 75 feet. My borrowed Russian regulator froze shut. ( one of the few designs which would ) I had just...

Good for gear sales the way he pounds past obstructions. Let me just bash a little clearance for this regulator... Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

The one time I needed a sausage in an emergency I would have liked one about 18 feet tall...

Swapping the reg to the other tank is a required skill with some instructors. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

A lot easier to reach the valves side mount and you have complete redundancy regardless of "buddy".

Really! They assured us that there was NO lead in the water. Of course they also told is they had never had a fatal acident... Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
