    I "won" trips galore

    Wait, what the heck do you do that you can work for only a month and dive the rest of the time? You a king crab fisherman or something? Have we seen you on 10 most dangerous jobs?

    Scuba website help

    How about a drop down menu for product categories on the left side, instead of that long list. Also agree with Terry that better organization is key. Get rid of the words Dive and Scuba in the description of the items. Ditto on the dive bags page. The information overload and no detail on the...

    Tank Banger

    Thanks for the tip, but I don't own or have access to tanks. I have turned into a travelling diver so I rent my tanks.

    Question About Regulator Store

    You will get lots of replies, but bottom line is that it is honest, safe and above board. They are not "authorized dealers" so they sell below MSRP. But they do guarantee their products 100% and I can attest to that. Board members also very fond of http://www.scubatoys.com so you should check...

    Dive skins...a question

    Yes, I sometimes wear a skin under my 3mm to add a bit more warmth. It's like using several blankets on a cold night. Your body warms the water and it takes that much more time to dissipate through each layer. Don't get me wrong though, it's not a significant difference, but it's better than...

    Which island??

    Best Carribean diving I've done which compares to South Pacific is in Turks and Caicos. Grand Turk or Salt Cay specifically. The sites are wall dives and they are close (15 minutes average) to land. Whereas, Providenciales sites are around 45 minutes average. I'd check the weather before...

    Blown Tank Face O-ring at 80'

    Were the other divers your students? Your calm demeanor in the face of pressure (no pun intended there) must have contributed to the state of the divers around you. By immediately going to your emergency plan and having a good buddy diver, you seem to have made all the right moves. We never...

    Out of Air on Final Open Water Cert. Dive

    Since you experienced free flow, I'm sure your buddy had some air to spare for your 15' drift back to the swimming area. Good opportunity to practice buddy breathing and share your OOA experience with your buddy. Most importantly, you kept a calm demeanor throughout, so good job!

    Music

    The best place to source a vast selection of music right now is iTunes (hint: each country has a different selection) What kind of music are you looking to match to your video? If you are looking for some orchesta or theme style music, try compositions by these two: William Orbit or Ryuichi...

    reducing air usage

    Learn breathing techniques through yoga, meditation, martial arts, etc.. At first, you will count as you inhale and exhale. When it becomes second nature, you won't need to count and you'll see a substantial increase in your ability to use air. One thing I've learned is to hold my breath for...

    Equalizing?

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think baby oil will eventually damage a wetsuit and leaves it all slimy. Here are some wet suit use/care tips I found on the internet. * Do not use hair conditioner, Vaseline or any other wax or petroleum based products in a solution of any kind to...

    Equalizing?

    To become good at equalising, all you need is practice. When you chew gum or yawn, you hear your ears pop sometimes, right? That is equalising. Practice at your local pool or do some shallow dives and you will be able to do it at will in no time. The trouble with taking Sudafed or Nasal spray...
