This account was posted on our local clubs site by an instructor/technician/dive buddy of mine. Today (Monday) I had a Poseidon refresher course for regulator repairs. When I got to Whitestar quarry to meet with Jerry the (Poseidon) technician and co designer of the Poseidon rebreather...

I'm wondering if the victim's valve was on and/or if there was gas in his tank? There wasn't any mention above of trying to inflate the BCD to assist with the ascent prior to letting go of the victim. Did his buddy try to inflate the BCD and if so, what happened, if anything? Ayisha, I don't...

Gilboa has the deepest water in the State of Ohio - it is 140' in the pumping hole. I dove a deco dive on the deep side of Gilboa yesterday and my dive Buddy was one of the 3 EMT's that were present when this diver died and he tried to resuscitate him. I was told that the diver was 64 years...

This is too bad. I was at Whitestar last week and they had a full-blown "simulated" dive accident (used one of our club's divers). They had the rescue "airboat", firecrews, paramedics, and the life flight helicopter all working together. Sad..

WOW! - For the last few weeks ONLY this site has been REALLY SLOW. Almost like every page has to be scanned by a virus scanner or something. When ping'd scubaboard.com has a 41ms "response" from Ohio which isn't bad at all.

My slung 40 hits my mask when I practice my drysuit "tuck-n-rolls" - likely because my chin is on my chest and I'm bringing my knees up toward my chin? Hovering inverted is not an issue. The giant stride was an issue when I was looking down (again - chin on chest...) off of a high dock.

I dive with a back mounted pony on all of my rec dives - even in the tropics, and have thought about adding one for the Tec dives too. As far as I can discern there is no down-side to diving a pony, and even a small pony offers much more reliability and safety than a buddies air or diving...

I read this book and I highly recommend it. My wife read it and couldn't put it down. It was recommended to me by a friend that was pretty high up in the Agency. I'm an engineer not an english major so I thought that the writing was fine :D - the story was certainly spell binding...

Cool!!! A few typical questions: What size are the Rock Boots?? When was it last serviced? Are the seals still good? Does the light still work? And 1918... hmmm. It still has 7 years left on the warranty right??!! :rofl3: Seriously it looks nice - good luck!

yep. And HP-119's too

Sorry Bob... Youse Gotta Buy The Fin's to Hear The Story That Goes With Them!!! ;)

I too have ONE X-Large ScubaPro Jet Fin sitting in the dive locker if anyone is interested in making a set!!!!! :D

Those Storm Whistles are amazingly loud - if I didn't already have 2 I'd pick them up!

Sparkey - This post is like TWO YEARS OLD!!!! :confused:

I'm wondering... after seeing all of the divers Ice Diving yesterday and today - should Scubaboard start an Ice Diving Forum??? (Or is there one and I missed it?)

Ok - I have this reel out on a few dives in December and one Ice Dive yesterday. I've shot SMB's/bags and ran navigation courses with it. (Wreck dives won't be until this summer again.) Overall the reel works very well. I like to knot my line every 10' for low vis conditions and...

CRUD! I really wanted to subscribe. I just spent 15 minutes on their site trying to find out how.... I don't read E-Magazines/Books for pleasure (just use them for reference). I am willing to pay more for hardcopy...

When I ice dive I like to go for a little stroll. Sometimes it's fun to take a tennis ball and ice hockey sticks diving and play hockey under the ice! Ice diving also taught me to make nice SLOW ascents - nothing like knocking yourself out just when you reach the surface! Hey! What's wrong...
