In my Chemistry years (a little after the lead to gold years), the proper way to blend a gas mixture was to set it on a horizontal set of rollers for as much as 4 hours. I will add that it was more important with Hydrocarbons.
Not that you have to do this with Nitrox, but there is a...
Learn about your computer and it's functions, know your BC and dive. I've seen divers grab a rental computer and have no idea what the functions were, they also depend on the DM to guide them around to safety. When you(and buddy) dive, you are on your own. Don't depend on a stranger...
We shouldn't recognize the record in the first place. The Navy already has gone deeper, so why the emphasis on individual records?
I have a friend whose pursuit of a speed record at Bonneville has cost him the use of his arm. It's an obsessive / compulsive thing with these people. NO...
It's too vague of a description to know exactly what happened. He may have had a health related issue .. There is no secret to staying afloat or alive in diving. Familiarize yourself with your equipment and dive. The more you practice , the better the dive experience. In shallow water...
Here is a nice Pipe fish found at the Spot Bay Park. They were all over the place, must have been their breeding season. I never see them in the winter.
Can't beat Brac. Just got back from a week of sunny, flat water diving. The reefs on the Northeast are rebounding nicely with new Staghorn and Elkhorn patches. Still have areas of the algae that was encrusting the western end, but not as much. Saturday morning's dive at Burt's ended with...
Is it possible he accidentally lost the belt and went positively buoyant into the scalloped area? At which point, it would be a struggle to go down and out, especially if he had residual air in the BC. I'm not a cave diver, but know it's difficult to kick down to something being so under...
Scubashack may be closed for the month of August, so you might contact them prior to the trip Can't wait to get back down, had some awesome dives this past May. Have fun
Sorry to hear of this accident. My brother and I both started diving in cold murky water and buddied up using a short piece of rope to keep track of one another. It may sound like a ridiculous way to dive, but it always made me feel relaxed and allowed me to focus on learning to dive...
