Hey!!! I resent that comment! Blue ring octopi are so beautiful they take your breath away...by paralyzing your diaphram.:D

Gas confusion results more from carrying multiple deco gasses. If you are slinging a single deco bottle, you know whats in it and when it can be used...or should if you checked the O2% before jumping in.

If money is not an issue and you want a computer that can be upgraded to do it all, you might look at the VR3. No alarms, does dive planning, can go from air and nitrox for open circuit scuba all the way up to trimix and closed circuit for rebreathers. I believe you can get a high pressure...

I find 20 feet much more manageable for deco stops/safety stops in the ocean. I suppose 10 feet would be fine in a lake.

I thought "dark side" was CCR.

I use scuba to keep my wallet from getting to heavy.

I believe the atmos is basically a back inflate with a little bit of inflate on the sides - so a crossover. I tried it on in the store before going with a backplate and wing. Regarding in the water performance - I have no idea. I would say that a lot of people find back inflate to give...

What do most people around here use for an equivalent nitrogen depth at their deepest point when using trimix? I understand that there are often standard mixes of trimix, but considering how expensive helium is, and if you can shave off some of the price by going with a lower He amount, then...

I would second the bolt snap on the spg. However, I prefer to route the high pressure hose under my arm and attach to my left chest D ring. That way I dont have to unhook the spg to read it. Also, I find that the spg bolt snap gets in the way of my deco tank bolt snap. You are not using a...

From my understanding, you can't really go wrong with either of them here in the U.S. I believe SP has more of a worldwide market and it might be easier to get service in oogaboogaland or wherever. I do find it interesting that my LDS is a dive rite dealer but sells mostly Zeagle and...

I'd love to get a rebreather...but the cost.... I'd have to quit buying dive equipment and taking dive trips for a while to save up or have the dollar rise sharply against the pound...Yes I want a sentinel. Kind of defeats the whole purpose if you don't dive so that you can get the $$...

I took open water back in 1988 from the YMCA. I seem to remember that we all had to learn how to buddy breathe. I'd assume that this is still part of the program. Having an octo is more convenient, but nobody should be diving without knowing this basic skill.

If no one has said it already, I'd like to see a BC with an elevator lever explode. :deadhorse::deadhorse:

The new Pinnacle evolution 2 drysuit has pockets and felt darn near knife proof to me. Its around 1400 dollars U.S. I'm no expert on drysuits however. You may want to edit your post to remove that last piece of equipment from your list. Otherwise you might get flamed.

If a patent was filed before June 8, 1995, the term of the patent is 17 years from the date of issuance. The seacure patent 5,031,611 "Customized scuba-diving mouthpiece and method of manufacture" was filed on July 17, 1989 and issued on July 16, 1991. JAX should be able to sell in the...

I would suggest chartering a center cockpit yacht for diving as the tanks and compressor can be stored on the aft deck. Storage may be more difficult on an aft cockpit yacht.

Hey, no fair!!! It took 36 hours to get to my house and I live in Texas. Of course I did place the order sunday evening.

I would contact a marina in your area to learn how to sail, or you might also contact the American Sailing Association to find lessions in your area. You can also charter a cruising yacht with an experienced captain, which might make it easier for you as he will know the "what ifs" regarding...

Go to a really stinky public restroom, a gross anatomy lab, a rendering plant or a garbage dump and practice breathing without smelling anything.

The BVI is nice, but I would suggest Cozumel. Just my opinion...Although you can't go wrong with either.
