    Hydro Atlantic

    Hello fellow techies. I've recently completed my IANTD classes in deep air, advanced nitrox and advanced recreational trimix. I've been to 50 meters in the gulf of mexico. Also, just for task loading, I've been wearing my doubles and deco bottle for recreational dives to practice my task...

    DIR reg's

    So what is wrong with the newer Zeagle regs. I haven't had any problems with my envoy deluxes. I would assume that dive rite, oxycheq, scubamax and aqualung would be dir compliant.

    Nitrox Spare Air

    H valve and a pony? I carry a second mask and a first stage on each double - as well as a deco bottle, but three first stages for recreational diving seems excessive. Its not like your tank is going to explode and you will loose all your air... unless Whaler Kyle is your dive buddy.

    Is SCUBA diving a sport?

    Haven't we already had a thread like this before?

    Dry mouth Gum chewing

    Apollo bio-filter Sherwood Oasis Camel back (used by cyclists) squeeze bottle Not so sure about the gum. It might be difficult to chew given the way most regulator mouthpieces are designed. Also, what if you get it stuck in your throat 100 feet down?

    Brand loyalty

    I stick with all of my wings being the same brand. That way if something breaks, I can switch out for another part from a different wing in a pinch.

    Why do people do this?

    I don't understand it. Perhaps because most divers are only trained in diving techniques and not marine biology that things like this happen. Having had a 75 gallon salt water reef tank, I know how sensitive corals are to being touched or cut. If that SOB was my dive buddy, he might not...

    How would I go about diving with great whites?

    A seal costume and a rebreather. That will get you close.

    Diving in foul weather

    Your safety stop or shallow deco stop may have to be deeper. Climbing up a ladder on a boat can also be dangerous. I actually saw a busted spring strap from an attempt to get on a boat.

    1st Liveaboard trip, what to bring?

    The air conditioner was on full blast on my last boat trip. I would suggest warm socks for sleeping at night.

    i am new to diving and i have a question about cost

    cost is a little high here. For instance, you have an aluminum 80 tank for 140 and a deco bottle(Al 40) for 700.

    I strap the spare air to one side of my mask and strap the snorkel to the other side of my mask.

    Threads that make horses nervous.

    Spare Air. Any statement about taking a basic nitrox class so that one may go on deep dives. LDS scams - BC nitrox cleaning? Let me tell you about my first pool session and how I had trouble clearing my mask. (Not trying to bash newbies on that last one, its just that we read a lot of...

    Trimix computers

    What if we all agree not to eat our hypothetical chinese made trimix computers which are coated with lead based roofie-paint?

    Trimix computers

    Doc, You do realize the number of new divers that post on this board who ask for the very best regulator that will serve them very deep because they "may want to get into tech diving"? It doesnt seem to me like a trimix feature would deter too many people. I keep thinking of the...

    Trimix computers

    Is the liquidvision out yet? I heard that it was going to be shown at DEMA. The real point to my question isnt to identify one of the few trimix computers (I have a VR3), but rather, why with all the bells and whistles on so many other computers, nobody has put in the trimix software...

    Trimix computers

    Something I don't understand... There are computers out there that do multiple gas switching, air integration, heart rate monitoring, wireless transmission etc. etc. etc. So why is it that there are (currently) only 3 available trimix capable computers - cochran 20H, VR3 and HS explorer...
