    Can I visually identify a pull dump on the inflator assembly?

    It’s not on your inflator assembly, it’s on your bladder. Round plastic thing with a piece of string with a ball tied to the end. You pull the string to dump the air. You’ll definitely have one.

    Peeing in your dry suit mid dive

    No. I’m talking about drysuits. Thanks for the info. Tried and made no noticeable difference unfortunately Side note: why does that last quote not work properly?

    None. My magic hands of warming are impervious to even the iciest of Waters! :wink:

    OW Instructor lost in Bulgarian cave

    It’s continues to amaze me how often we see A&I threads where people have entered a cave or wreck without any guideline.

    Getting cold in a 5mm below 26C (79F)

    You can get non insulating drysuits that don’t actually keep the heat in. You just add whatever layers of warm clothing underneath as you need to stay warm. I’ve seen divers using these in pretty warm waters.

    Peeing in your dry suit mid dive

    There are a few old posts about this but the links don’t work so I’m starting a new one. I’ve recently bought the missus a dry suit but the problem is that she always needs to pee about halfway through her dive which obviously is going to be an issue. It’s bad enough in her semi-dry:confused: ...

    Tec Side-mount Bungee's

    This is what I do but with the loop bungy you mentioned. Works well for me with my 15L steels. I tried ring bungies briefly but found them to have too much unnecessary hardware. The loop bungy is very simple and uncluttered. I’m not tech though and still figuring sidemount out.

    Please don't shoot me, BPW question

    I’ll also add that with the BP&W you’ve entered the realm of experimentation. The beauty of it is that you get to play around with different solutions until you find what works for you. There’s a guy that posted a picture of his setup with his tanks upside down. So if you feel like wrapping your...

    Floaty bottom

    I was diving today with two hired 15L steels. Not sure the brand. They had rubber boots on the bottom that I was reluctant to remove because I wasn’t sure if the dive store would have a problem with me messing with their tanks too much. Initially they trimmed out really well but after they...

    Thermal Protection, over estimate the need?

    I showed that to the missus and she replied that her active heating was saving the pee until the safety stop :)

    Good dive centre in Hvar Croatia

    I’m in Hvar for the next Three days and brought my gear for some recreational diving. Has anyone dived here recently and can let me know what the dive centre was like. Looks like there is four options. Viking, Hvar diving, Black Pearl and Nautica. Also, any must see dive sites near here...

    Should I have a backup computer?

    He likes my post a few pages back so the argument is being read at least

    Should I have a backup computer?

    Mares Puk Pro maybe? And yet every guided dive I’ve ever been on (all be it only 38) has had divers following the guide with no computer of their own. Your use of the word “should” has, I think, been the cause such a heated debate. While there are many reasons why you may want a backup...

    Two divers dead in Scharendejke NLD

    Would it be possible to descend into a cargo hold then make you way into the rear while trying to find your way out?

    Two divers dead in Scharendejke NLD

    I think the idea is that the vis is so bad and the design of the wreck leads to divers unknowingly entering it and becoming disoriented.
