    UTD Tech 1. "Let's go for a swim..."

    "Let's go for a swim..." Those were the last words I remembered our instructor, George Watson, say to us before we submerged for the first dives of our Tech 1 class. Knowing what I know now, George is a horrible team mate. Disasters seems to strike when ever he starts a dive with "Let's go for a...

    shots from Cozumel

    Enjoyed some old sites and some new to me sites. Did Barracuda and San Juan. Both sites had 3 knot currents and apparently those were mild days for currents. Barracuda had a lot of down-wellings. It's not a site for the faint of heart. But they were nearly pristine. Definitely the most abundant...

    Tech diving future

    Go on to Denver. We have a great group of friends / divers from the Texas, New Mexico, Colorado area. We don't have the quantity of dive sites and you'll end up driving 6 hours one way to decent diving, but we have a lot of fun. :)

    New Certification Agency

    There are no governing bodies within recreational scuba diving. It boils down to quality and marketing to start one at this point in the game. It's definitely doable though. Unified Team Diving is only a couple years old and is going strong.

    What wing size for a 6'7" 330lb guy diving a single?

    For singles, I dive a 6# steel backplate and a 40# oxycheq wing. If he's using a 3mm suit and diving in salt water then an AL80 or even an AL100 will be fine with that combination of suit and bp/w. That's the same combination of ALL my tropical saltwater trips. :)

    Blue Hole April 24~25th

    The biggest lesson that I took away from the weekend is ALWAYS do a flow check to verify that your isolator and posts are in the position that you KNOW they should be. Otherwise bad things happen and you and your team mate may end up buddy breathing from a single working reg. Also, it's not...

    Operating Equipment with Thick Gloves

    Yep, my personal tolerance is anything colder than 60 degrees is dry glove territory. Beyond that, my fingers go numb and become unusable. It's kind of funny to watch a person trying to do stage bottle stows when they can't operate their thumbs.

    Operating Equipment with Thick Gloves

    I'm either bare handed, 1mm gloves purely for abrasion protection, or dry gloves. If you're having problems handling equipment in your gloves, then do a practice dive wearing your gloves where all you do is clip, unclip, and handle equipment. I know when I start wearing dry gloves again, it...

    I knew there were dangers, but...

    I know for a fact that women with enhancements don't have a problem staying buoyant at the surface. ... It's a non issue. :) No, I don't have implants.... One of my dive buddies do.

    Any interest in Blue Hole in April?

    I'll be there doing critical skills dives for Tech 1. :) We may be able to get in a night dive together... If not, a beer or few will do! :)... BTW, It'll be 24 - 25. :)

    Can you Overfill Spare Air?

    If it doesn't blow up, it will be 10cf3. Still, not that useful. :)
