I would say, good used regs from a reliable manufacturer, like ScubaPro. A lot of people get into diving, get talked into expensive kit and find out that it is not their passion. Good used gear is pretty widely available, just factor in the cost of service in when shopping. I have been using a...

Is that Dive Haven On Turneff Atoll?

A friend keeps a glove in her BCD pocket in case she needs to grip a mooring line in a current. The logic of the the no glove rules is that stupid should hurt. On one dive I ended up a little too close to the reef and when I fanned my hand to back up, I shredded it on the coral (It might...

Tightening the mask almost never improves the fit. A well fitting mask will barely require any inhalation to hold it in place. If it stick when you inhale and falls off a few seconds later, it doesn't fit. The strap is mostly there to keep the mask from getting knocked off. Prolonged mask...

I watched the Woody Harrelson movie the other night. It was pretty good. The Squeaky voices would not have added to the drama.... I haven't seen the documentaries, yet, but will keep an eye out for them. My guess on how he survive was the low temperatures and the high pressure kept the PPO...

I was doing some boat diving with one of my kids. The dive shop had offered me nitrox because they were getting a delivery the next day and I took it. I forgot about that I had set my computer for it and the first boat dive was down to around 50' for about an hour and the second dive was 70'...

I have. Most boots come with them now. You can also by a fin keeper https://www.scuba.com/p-csbrfkpbklr/cressi-rubber-fin-keeper-pair-black-large?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organicshopping

I would say, take a regulator mouth piece with you when mask shopping. It might help to have a realistic representation of what your face will be like diving. I am hard to fit for masks, and one I found a make and style that worked, I went through hell and high water to get exactly the same...

It is not that hard to identify locations of with on a dive Just sitting in one location will cause the flag to bob around. You can zoom in on your tracks far more than what I normally post, so it really is clearer than it might appear from the full view of the dive. You can see I had no...

Well, if you save 15lbs of theoretical weight they can sell 15 lbs of gear and a training course. And it will be for the Avelo and to use the scooter and the integration so you can see your scooter battery data integrated into the your Shearwater. And they will be able to sell you the...

I guess somebody see something I don’t…

There are GPS software that has time stamping in it. It is not a feature I am that in having. I have found that if you stay in one spot and pull in all the slack, you will have a mark that easy to identify and find again.

I use the steel 120s. I liked them because their diameter is the same as a AL80. I can swap between an 80 without messing with the cam and at all. The will fit on any boat and are a big tank for big lungs….

Truck nuts for diving.... and just as useful...

I have been following this for a while. I have nothing against the system and wish them the best in their endeavors. But, I do not understand the economics of the system. Every innovation has to basically cover two basic points; one being benefit, the other being cost. I am still not...

Hmmm... a couple of thoughts. The easiest solution is a friend with a boat. When planning the outing, go on google earth and look at the site from above. You may find a spot that offers easier access. Two factors determine how a wave breaks, one is the bottom topography, how steep the shore...

You seem to be shooting your own foot. If you have something clever and innovative,get a patent. If you are trying to woo investors, you aren’t very good at it. Without showing the product, you should at least be trying to explain the business model. Describing the specs on the product would...

Have you spent 4 minutes on social media?

I would say tell the shop. They have a duty to provide a safe work environment for those conducting classes, even the trainees. It will also make them pay attention to the the creepy older guy and they may run interference by keeping him at a distance. The association between the customer and...

If you bring one in a carry, okay with it if they confiscate it and throw it away. I had almost new bottle of sunscreen chucked. It didn’t occur to me that it was forbidden. Accidents happen, but, I wouldn’t intentionally test them
