they okayed emergency medical expenses when other cards said "No"?

Woody has been pushing hard on the Amex. I would say Dan is cheap enough that, despite not being perfect is worth it. I believe they have already made some procedural changes based on this incident.

@AfterDark bought a cheap chinese canister light years ago. We were going to do a night dive and when he turned on the light the car radio turned to static. We were at the other end of the car at the time

There were other filming locations used for the series. Wasn’t the “Creature from the Black Lagoon” filmed there also? I would love to see that re-enacted

I think those recommended services are a CYA move to get some extra money flowing it. Clean the sensor, replace seals and cash a check. If you have 10% of the customers do that on 100,000 units, it is keeping your service department busy and you making more money. Service them when they work...

I hope I didn’t come across as too snarky. The idea spending $15 on a tiny cap, that I would be unlikely to open on dive boat is a little surprising. I used to keep a spare battery in my save a dive kit for my computer. The one time I needed it on a dive trip, it went dead the next day. Since...

How much back up crap do you want to carry? Don't forget your clone with she spare kidney.

How many AA batteries are going to be sitting ing the bottom of a land fill in 25 years? You could send your Shearwater back to have a failing battery replaced. My 2 year old computer can do a week of vacation diving on one charge. Ten years from now it may be down to three days. That will...

I have lost two computers to flooding. The Shearwater Peregrine uses an induction charger. Nothing exposed. No way you or anyone else can mess up the o-ring.after two years it will hold a charge way longer than needed. May I have back up computers that are user replaceable batteries (Zoops)...

We really don't have that much knowledge of how dehydrated he was. It was mentioned in the video and it is possible he was more dehydrated than he thought. But we don't know, nor are we likely to know with any certainty that dehydration was a root cause. He also could have had elevated CO2...

So a quick update. I put the banjo fitting on my vintage pressure gauge only yo realize that my banjo fitting wouldn't fit with the yolk on my Mistral regulator. After much hemming and hawing ( not really crazy that something I dive twice a year is such a PIA money pit). I realized I have a...

I couldn't read the whole account. I had a scary moment with a RIB. The drift dive kind of stalled out and the guy running the RIB just told us to hang on while he moved us over to the other divers that were making more headway. My feet were just a couple of feet from the blades. I was too...

I have had mine for about two years. It gets charged up between outings without a problem. Holds the charge for months without issue. I use a cheap desk light with a built induction charger. I save the USB charging plate that came with it for traveling. There was someone about a year ago...

But life seldom gives satisfying answers. “ I’m getting old and it was a freak accident” may turn out to be the only answer we get. I wonder if His. Gear was broken down before they took him off island. Is there a way to tell if there was any channeling forming in the sorb that may have...

Once you have the weights for one tank dialed in, you can look up the buoyancy characteristics of pretty much any tank and add or subtract lead based the difference of of the tanks empty. For example you dive a steel tank at home that is 2 lbs negative and go on a trip where you are going to use...

Reminds me of Schrödinger’s cat. The diver is bent and unbent until the come out of the water….

Are you suggesting clones? Parallel universes? Time loops? That would be a sucky time loop where you just get bent, over and over again.

You replicate the dive profile all you want, but the condition of the diver will vary day to day. Two other people were on the same dive all three of them cleared their deco obligations on their DC and only one got bent.

There's yer' problem... The dive characteristics of AL80 are terrible once you've dialed in on steel. Every time I dive AL, I feel like the last 25% of the dive like i am wearing styrofoam floaty on my back.

NEVER hand your weight (16 lbs!) off at 130'. that is almost like attaching two one gallon milk jugs to your armpits. Your buddy is now massively overweighted and you may quickly find yourself on an elevator you can't get off and he will have no way to catch up with you. Suit compression...
