    Sidemount, seems cool but why give it a try ?

    I gave up SM just recently. I found that I was using far more gas than single tank just pushing the rig around, so the benefit of having the extra gas wasn't all that great. Now for recreational dives I use the single tank and if I'm going deep and cold, I'll take a pony for the redundancy...

    Accidentally dropped my steel tank. How bad is the damage?

    No! No! Don't listen to these guys. Your tank is toast! Just ship it prepaid to my address and I'll dispose of it for you!! :rofl3:

    Do Marine vs. Terrestrial Animals differ in dangerousness?

    FWIW, I have been aggressively "attacked" by both fresh and salt water fish that expected to be fed. By attacked, I mean bitten. In each case they were small, and I was in a place where these fish would normally be fed, so my presence meant food. Why they were aggressive about it is beyond...

    ScubaBoard SURGE Central 2018 Bonaire

    I'd be interested to join with my wife, but she only snorkels and hates it when we go on a trip; the ones who say they'll snorkel wimp out and she ends up with me doing a "pity snorkel" or two.

    Are airline bag fee's changing gear ownership

    FWIW, All my (tropical), dive gear goes in one carry on backpack: 3mil steamer, reg set, BCD, 2 masks, 2 smallish lights, 2 computers, and DSMB/spool. If I take my F2's and booties they do just fit, but I like my full foot Superchannels, and they go in the checked bag,( too long for the...

    Why don't "club trip divers" use buddy teams?

    With the club dives I've been on, your buddy tends to vary during the dive. We all know each other, and are aware of any "weaknesses" or oddities each member has. For instance, one of our group has a tendency to drift deeper than the rest, so she is watched carefully during wall dives and...

    Sidemount and boat

    Where possible I hang my tanks on a line off the side of the boat and hook up in the water. Takes up no extra space on the boat before putting the tanks in and getting ready on the boat is very quick since not dealing with tanks. Once in the water, I'm out of the way while hooking up. Getting...

    4 days pure diving - Is Ambergris Caye the best choice?

    The only good reason to dive the Blue Hole is that the other two dives are at great locations. Half Moon, and I forget the name of the other one...Aquarium? You will be SOOOO disappointed in the Blue Hole..its name says it all. The wall of my local quarry is more interesting
