    Purchased my first BC

    At the very least hook it to the inflater hose that you "will actually be using" and inflate it all of the way. Then inflate it some more so the over pressure dump valves open and let the excess air out. (If the BC "pops like a balloon" before the dump valves open then your BC was bad or...

    What are your dive plans for 2010?

    Well - On January 1st I'll do a New Years Day dive!!! Hopefully the quarry won't be iced over yet, because even though they try to break the "thin" ice up for the New Years day divers it's still a pain. In February I plan on completing the open water portion of the Ice Diver certificate...

    13 cubic foot bottle

    I dive with a 19 cuft. pony. It has one of two purposes - one to get me a short distance over to my dive buddy so I can use his octo, or, two so I can breath it to the surface. My bailout ascent plan is to slowly head up to a 15' safety stop and hang around for 3 minutes, or until the...

    Dry gloves for N.E.

    I'm with Capt. Jim on this one. I use the Viking sleeve ring seals on my DUI drysuit. I get all geared up and ready to go. The very LAST thing that I do is to put my rubber dry gloves on!!! To do this I put the glove on my hand and then pull/stretch the rubber dry gloves wrist up and...

    Diver Died In West Palm Beach, Fl.

    "The boat might have had oxygen on board, but I think more force is needed to deliver a rescue breath to a non-breathing victim than simply putting an oxygen mask on will accomplish" Yes you are correct. You also need a $14.00 AMBU bag/mask that the O2 line attaches to. You squeeze if...

    Pre-dive checklist

    bnaudie - KUDO'S!!!! I think that it's GREAT that you use a WRITTEN checklist!!! I firmly believe that divers who don't use "written" checklists exhibit a lack of discipline that is needed to be an exemplary diver. They also put themselves and their buddy at higher risk of severe...

    Pony Attachment

    Thanks Matt, On many dives there are wrecks that have holes cut in them as swim throughs (airplanes, Frito Lays trucks, Semi Trailers and Boats etc...). When I go through the holes I try to keep my "front" reasonably close to the edge of the opening to make sure that my main tank clears...

    Pony Attachment

    I too am looking at how to mount a pony (bottle that is!). The back-mount certainly seems the cleanest, least drag, least chance of getting banged around, and minimizes your cross sectional area (front to back distance?) so you can swim through smaller openings etc. My question is: If you...
