Do you think it would be a good idea for the OP to take a self reliant course and adopt the industry accepted best practices of solo diving?
Spare air is better than death but everything else is better than spare air
I was hoping someone would bring up the J valve seems better than spare air...
I certainly agree with you about running out of gas but the OP does mention OOA twice and the DAN reports are full of people OOA. Behind medical issues its the number 2 cause of scuba accidents. I hope he is disciplined and manages his air well and always surfaces with some in reserve. But I...
This thread is very interesting. One question keeps coming to mind i see you mention OOA several times. What is your main concern, OOA or equipment failure?
Ive read lots of stories of photogs getting distracted and forgetting to check their spg
I would recommend that you go see a good ENT doctor and see if there are any physical problems(could be multiple) preventing you from equalizing. If no go practice if yes deal with the physical issue.
Tips for clearing your ears while scuba diving
I did look at DGX gauges i and i do like them. The one thing i like more about ihe mares is the color coding on the face. It makes it easier to see halves and thirds but that's the only advantage i really see
Hello I have recently been looking at SPG's and noticing the different prices. I know that plastic is cheaper than brass and glass and glow in the dark costs a little extra. That being said what are the internal differences?
One spg i am looking at lists this as a feature
You could always split the difference and have him carry 2lbs and take an extra dive to get weighted, that way he would only be two pounds over. From what i have been reading the surface weight check will get you within 3 pounds. Not sure if that is an option with the current or not.
Thats a great catch I didnt actually watch the videos just looked through the comments figured maybe i would work the friend angle. I was going to work through the boston reefer society as well lol
