    Bad scuba advice you've received

    You guys are way overthinking this If the wing fails at depth and your suit crush makes it impossible to swim up, wear ditchable weight so you can swim to the surface

    DIR- Generic Weight considerations with Al80 twin set

    The best way to find out how much weight you need is to get in at the beach in your full setup with a weight bag full of 1 or 2 lb weights and your tanks around 500psi get to 10-15 feet of water, empty your bc completely and start dropping weights 1 or 2 lbs at a time. while motionless if you...

    DIR- GUE Why are non-GUE divers so interested in what GUE does?

    Good points if that’s your risk appetite I’ve heard it called “the handshake,” but an s drill/valve drill in the shallows with someone you don’t know will tell you a decent amount about how they’re gonna be in the cave If they get offended and refuse when it’s suggested, you can bet they...
