    How would you handle this?

    Seems like you are on the right track. Making it difficult to obtain gas is a good start.

    Divers Reef ?

    A1 no longer offers nitrox fills. I had a long talk with them about it the other day. :(

    Rocky Mountain Oysters dive at the Blue Hole, Oct. 20-22

    Yes, those dates run through Monday. It seems likely that most people will be there on either Saturday or Sunday(20-21). Grilling and hanging out Saturday afternoon...followed later by night dive and Joseph's? It will be interesting to see everyone's latest toys and hear their stories...

    Dive Computer or Tables - which is safer for a newer diver?

    A computer or a digital depth gauge and a timer used in conjunction with tables are tools used to create and monitor your dive plan. The conservancy and discipline of planning your dive, diving within the parameters of your plan, and accurately monitoring depth and ascent rate are driven by your...

    Did you notice the name change?

    Cool, T! I don't want to be an organizer. Someone else may jump in for that job. I'm planning on being there 20,21,22 Sat - Mon... Teaching and pretty busy. But SIs were meant for socializing and so is Joseph's. Also attending a wedding in Sante Fe Oct 7, so will stop off for a dive on the...

    Did you notice the name change?

    That was a nice reminder, and a little trip down memory lane! I had forgotten that I was the first to second your motion to form a regional club. To the point... RMO was a fun and funny name, but RMR is just fine. It's about time to have a picnic or something. I have plans for BH, Oct 20-22...

    Diving without Certification (A RANT)

    If we make the ASSumption that the individuals presented by the OP, had a good plan for the single "Discover Scuba" dive and that they have a trust based relationship with a high level of communication, and the Tech diver who supervised the dive was able to have control of himself and his friend...

    1000 Lumen Dive Light - SORRY :)

    Jax has it right. Thanks for your review. IMO even a 200 lumen white light from an led is too bright for night diving. With that in mind, however, I will be ordering the 1000 lumen light as a backup, for signaling, for daytime dives, and for local low vis dives. A night dive in clear...

    Aurora Reservoir

    Dove Aurora the other day. Surface temp was 62, temp at the plane was 51. Vis was 12 feet or so in the morning. Quite a few fish hanginging around the plane..mostly bass. Big crawdads. One was having a little wrestling match with a bass. Big mayfly hatch which was a nuisance. Saw a...

    Bonaire - really want to go but need some help

    Alcina, when exactly are you planning on being there? We will be there May 25 - June 2. I'd be willing to bring an extra kit for you. Otherwise, can your friends bring extra gear with them? If they brought a nice reg and a good BC, you could always hire fins and a wetsuit. It wouldn't add...

    Why so much Horizontal trim ?

    I now realize that this isn't your handiwork! But it is an artistic and cool yoke valve yoke, and definitely keeps tanks in proper trim. When I was looking through the photos that you have on your Scubaboard profile, I was somehow linked to the one below.

    What do Safe Divers do that Unsafe Divers don't?

    Safe: Level headed. Competent, observant, realistic, self reliant and dependable. Will stop, breathe, think, then act. Will not panic. Knows and understands that the consequences for mistakes or bad judgement underwater are grave. Makes a plan which considers gas, depth, time, buddy contact...

    Powershot S100 Housing?

    I have the FIX housing for the S95, and it has been outstanding for my uses. Intuitive and clearly labeled controls. All functions are accessible. Compact, tough, versatile, just slightly negatively buoyant. Compatible with a number of wet lenses. You certainly have a number of good choices...

    SAC Rates - The Good, The Bad, The Average

    I think that we are splitting hairs. I prefaced the paragraph that you highlighted with the statement that breathing through a reg underwater is not natural, but we should strive to breathe as naturally as possible. I can't disagree with your assessment of a slightly deeper and slower...
