Hi John! It’s been a long time! John and I had numerous discussions in person and on SB on this topic, and many other topics about creating a responsible and comprehensive program within the PADI Standards. We compared a lot of notes and bounced some good and bad ideas off of each other...

They can unscrew the SCBA connector and put a standard yoke or DIN fill connector on. You would need to supply that. Remember, fire Dept fills to 6000psi these days, so set the regulator at 3000psi or stand there ready to close the valve at 3000psi. SCBA to Scuba Adapter If you can’t find one...

Definitely quiet. I haven’t hung on scubaboard for many a moon. But a local dive and browsing scuba related posts are a lot nicer than the ridiculous nature of the mainstream news or social media.

Another shot at the plane

We dove Aurora Res today (April 1) and I thought you might like a little report. Air temp was 55°, partly cloudy and windy. No one has been down there for quite awhile. I expected the vis to be decent, but it was pretty typical. Maybe 6’. Tens of thousands of crawdads, a few bass and a big...

Lol... I missed that! Well, I guess that leaves my recommendation for the Titan. I'm not a big fan of the Micron. It delivers plenty of gas, but IMO it breathes too abruptly and mechanically. It might be worth looking into Mares too. They have a huge international distribution. There are some...

I need a wing which will allow me to cleanly route a right handed inflator hose for a client who has limited use of his left hand. I own a diveshop and carry Hollis, DiveRite, Highland, Zeagle, HOG, and more, but none of them are set up to cleanly reroute the inflator to the right. We formerly...

Switch to a comfobite mouthpiece and get a Reg with braided flex hoses. A lightweight 2nd stage doesn’t have to be tiny, just light. As long as it is weightless in water, she will be happy. It also needs to perform well. Good value / high performance regs with reliable serviceability would...

Does anyone have a fairly pristine DSS Wing that they would like to sell? Preferably 26# or 30# lift. Would also consider a full rig. $ or talk to me about bartering for something new, if you prefer.

It has plenty of lift for your uses. It sounds like traveling and diving warm water is your cup of tea right now. The Scout is a nice BCD for travel and it’s a good value. You should be using around 8# with your 3mm suit in salt water. Don’t fall for the marketing which steers you to think...

Yes, that is the place. I’ll definitely go back and stay there again

I have both and wear both. One on each wrist. I find, regardless of which wrist, that my eyes go to the Teric. They are both great though.

We’ve taken groups to Curaçao a number of times and have enjoyed personal trips there over the years, as well. We’ve stayed at Kura Hulanda and All West Apts, but recently we enjoyed Oasis Coral Reef Estates. The shore diving at their house reef is excellent. It’s an easy drive to Playa Kalki...

Some PADI Dive Centers and Instructors teach tables and others do not. It is up to the individual Instructor or Center's discretion to teach Tables, eRDPml ( Electronic Multi-Level Dive calculator based on DSAT Tables), or solely Dive Computers. We teach the tables, then relate them to dive...

It looks like this hasn't been a very active area for posting in quite awhile. I certainly haven't been around Scubaboard for awhile, but have been diving and enjoying life in the meantime! We used to have an annual Rocky Mountain Oysters get together..Maybe its time again. It would be good to...

I thought it was a good PSA..

I was there on Sunday. 54º at the plane. Water isn't green yet, but there were a lot of divers being certified and doing Rescue Scenarios, so vis wasn't more than 5'. However, I wouldn't be surprised if you could have 15' vis on a quiet midweek morning

I saw this at DEMA and didn't look at it closely, because I chuckled to myself that Atomic had jumped into the poodle jacket market. Yesterday a promo for this over engineered, Battlestar Galactica monstrosity of a Cinderella Ball gown showed up on Facebook. I immediately went to the Atomic...

Lanai Cathedrals are beautiful, abundant life, fewer tourists and snorkelers, nice boat ride

If you want to cement your really really great memories of Cozumel, then that might be a reason to dive Ambergris. The diving is definitely a disappointment compared to pretty much all other Caribbean diving.(Its. better than the local lakes here in CO). The reef is hammered because it is...
