Is that first photo of the steps at Little River, completely swallowed up to the first landing?!

I think you'll love it! Do you mind if I ask how they'll be tailoring the leg for you?

I was an exchange student at PUCSP in 2009 and snorkeling in Paraty with my class is really what galvanized me to pursue my scuba dreams once I was an adult with an income. I'd love to get back to Brazil and dive for real!

Follow-up to @KatieMac: Encuentran cadáver de estadounidense desaparecido en Roatán cuando hacía buceo Mr. Perkins was located in 400 feet of water near the north of the island, per article. No other new information.

U.S. man disappears while diving in Roatan Friday morning, 57-year-old scuba instruction William Perkins went out diving with oxygen tanks that would last for two hours. Translator's note: the original article persistently uses "oxygen tanks" to refer to his breathing gas, as is common in news...

Give me about ten minutes and I can do a quick human translation for you.

Fourth Element Arctic with a baselayer would probably be great for this. I've been very comfortable in my set for dives of up to 2 hours in 41°F (5°C) water.

If you're GUE-inclined at all, there's a very vibrant GUE community that spans the coast from Seattle to Vancouver. I know the folks on the Seattle side of the border and they're wonderful people.

I'm compiling a guide of city/county ordinances and state/federal law (mostly admin stuff) that govern shipwreck diving at the southern end of Lake Michigan for a grad school project.

I keep a trilobyte on my computer on my right wrist (same solution as @Marie13) and I have a pair of steel shears in a holster to the left of my waist buckle. I preferentially use the shears (easier to reach, easier to manipulate) and treat the trilobyte as a backup for line entanglements.

That did, indeed, turn out to be the answer after I had my coffee this morning I spent too long doing other statutory research yesterday and just absolutely was not seeing the USC/CFR differentiation.

Dear fellow nerds of both law and scuba, I've been trying to find the most recent text of 43 U.S.C. §§ 2101–2106 (The Abandoned Shipwrecks Act of 1987) for a research project. This does need to be a primary source, so Cornell's LII page won't do at the moment. The problem is... where the hell...

Is there any chance that it was 55m, instead of percent? 55m = ~180 feet, around which depth air has a PPO2 of 1.4.

This is the one time that you want to use a silting kick.

My gas station-grade scraper was not up to the task of last night's snowfall in Chicago. On the other hand, I did have three pairs of fins in the car...

Until you mentioned this, I had no idea that it was Richard I met while waiting in full kit inside Underwater Sports for a fill because I didn't check my tanks before gearing up to jump in at Edmonds. I thought it was just some guy random pointing at my wrist and saying, "Lemme know if you ever...

Since I'm still early, I'd like to point out that not all mainstream agencies have "sampler platter" AOW like PADI. For example, SSI requires the completion of four full specialty programs and a minimum of 24-lifetime dives. I did the AOW program with an SSI shop in Wisconsin. Although you...

I have a DSS Kydex plate and have dove it with LP 108s before, no issues with the plate bearing the weight.

Sure, I can get those for you tomorrow.

@Ali_Sagittarius, I have a SM/MD Fusion Fit with size 9 detachable boots that I'd be willing to sell.
