    Unknown Two dead off Rockport MA

    "Bad air" refers to contaminated (usually CO). I haven't seen anything one way or the other about contamination on this dive. If it was CO poisoning, we would almost certainly have heard about it. Someone else would have found the source at the fill station or someone else was made sick...

    Unknown Two dead off Rockport MA

    There were no surviving witnesses. Was it an OOA ? Did they get separated? Equipment failure? Exposure Leading to drowning? Unless they have specific evidence, why put the family through more? I would have expected they should have started looking for the second diver more quickly, which may...

    Best Comprehensive Book on Diving

    I learned on tables and a standard transmission. I ended up getting a standard transmission on my most recent car. The first month was not elegant. I knew the tables. I could use the tables. I understood the tables. I would never trust the tables like I trust the mechanical reliability of...

    Lending Gear yay or nay

    I was in Belize a couple of years ago and this woman was there with a guy and they had a big blowout. I ended up letting her stay in my room for the entire trip. Fortunately, the guy forgot to take her off his bar tab, so we were able to get wine up to almost the end of the trip. Sometimes...

    Legality of "cave fills"

    If you properly prepare one case, you are going to be qualified to do the next one.

    Legality of "cave fills"

    That would likely get some trouble, but I agree with others that the civil courts are the ones that are going to punish you. A home made scuba tank like you describe should probably get treated like a pipe bomb. High pressure and no over pressure release/ burst disk, I would not want it in my...

    Legality of "cave fills"

    I think they would just have to show a pattern of behavior and get rando “expert” to say it was a likely contributing factor.

    Lending Gear yay or nay

    I will usually keep extra weights, masks, lights, etc in my car. If I have extra, I will loan it out. If needed, I could kit out another diver. I had a friend who was a new diver and I knew she wasn’t earning a lot, so I would bring tanks for her whenever needed Rather than have her rent. I...

    Failed Hydro AND failed Viz?

    I had a steel 72 in to do the hydro. Upon inspection they saw it had a liner and declined to do the hydro (that and the numbers were unreadable). I think I just paid for the visual. Charging for both separately seems like flogging a dead horse.:deadhorse:

    Unknown Woody From “Dive Talk” DCS and Medical Journey

    I am confused, What specifically are they saying or doing that is bothering you? They are cave divers and saying don't cave dive without training. This is bad for the general diving community to see? How does this relate to their DCS hit? They aren't ranting and raving. Should these two...

    Unknown Woody From “Dive Talk” DCS and Medical Journey

    The premise that they are not giving enough information about why one card worked and another didn't is just getting unnecessarily intrusive. It might be all the hookers and coke they bought or it might be his business is tanking and he has been running it off his credit card. Either way it is...

    There is a difference between getting approval for a charge and overriding the system to actually make it. I don’t know what went or anything beyond what was in the video, but the guy who verbally okays your 10k charges has to make it happen. Amex did. Are you miffed because Woody isn’t being...

    Things you've found under water

    I found a $50 last summer diving the snorkel trail in Lauderdal. Two spear guns (different occasions. One was returned to the owner six months later. The second after not finding the owner, sold for $150 and split with my dive buddy. Hilariously, I had some family members believe that I found...

    Scuba Gear for 7 footer

    you can wait on the tank, but big guys have big lungs. Don’t feel bad if you are the first one up. Masks can be a problem(they are for me). Old school porthole masks will fit almost anyone. The low volume masks can be harder to fit. My I am 240 lbs and you are almost a half foot taller...

    Unknown Woody From “Dive Talk” DCS and Medical Journey

    It okayed and an extension of credit. I don't think he was asking them for an evacuation coverage. Everyone advertises on YouTube. If you want to know if Amex is a sponsor or he is monetizing Amex, why don't you simply ask? I believe in one of his earlier videos he said he is not paid by...

    Scuba Gear for 7 footer

    I am 6'7" (the most I will admit to). Henderson makes some pretty good wetsuits. I find mine a XXXLT a bit long, so you might take a look at them. I would start looking for used 120s or 130 tanks. There is are periodicly divers that get to old to heft them or stop doing tech. BP/W is...
