    Riviera Maya ocean dives

    Try Puerto Morelos. Very different diving than Coz but beautiful reefs full of fish. About 25 miles up the coast from Playa.

    Shortage of hot dipped galvanized tanks in the US?

    Both things are simple facts. The USA will not run without zinc, without chrome or without petroleum products.

    Shortage of hot dipped galvanized tanks in the US?

    No, it will not be world wide. Chrome and galvanization are still necessary. We will just export our pollution.

    Replacing lead weights with US nickel coins

    Replacing lead weights with US nickel coins

    Copper is $4/lb. Nickel is $7/lb. If you can buy 5 rupee coins that are a mix of copper and nickel for a dollar a pound, you should buy lots. However, knowing a few East Indians, I have my doubts that any survive in the wild.

    Found him ~3 miles out after an hour of searching

    Kind of depends on the diver. Once they figure out you can dive they watch other people.

    Strange event, no air

    Going too far down that road will make you believe that people who use less air have less chance of the bends if they breathe faster as they come up.
