    How to tell the difference in the old and new XXL size Jet Fins?

    If they can fit their head and shoulders in the foot pocket, they're the old XXL Jets.

    Scubaboard Explained - a book

    It wasn't called the Warhammer maneuver when he posted it. It was named after him and might be a reason he's rarely seen around here.

    Not a bad idea, except for the photo.

    Instructors - A Little Advice From Your Hindsight?

    I agree PADI is more well known by non-divers than other agencies, but then none of them are very well known by non-divers. Most non-divers aren't even aware there are agencies. This is a non-issue.

    You are correct. On earlier models, the cover didn't go up so far, one strap went through the cover, the other theough the two posts on the computer. I had a handle put on the posts of mine. I used to attach mine to my LPI hose. Nothing else even comes close. I have two. If this...

    Does human touch harm Octopi?

    A touch does not harm octopuses. Touch away if it's legal to do so where you're diving.

    You are right that everyone who used it got bent isn't true. On the other hand, I do not believe the nickname it's had for decades implies that at all. It implies there are many issues with it that can cause problems that can easily lead to getting bent. That is true. Besides, you are the...

    An observation about divers

    About 10 - 12 years ago, there were DIR advocates on forums with a "superior than thou" attitude. I've not seen it in many years and I've never seen it from a DIR diver I met diving.

    Vintage Edge Dive Computer

    Why? The SOS Decompression Meter is very simple. It has two chambers, one constant volume and one variable volume (basically a balloon) conected to each other with a porous stone to restrict air flow. As pressure increases, air is forced from the variable volume chamber to the constant volume...

    I stand corrected, they were not SS. To attach a photo, simply click on the paper clip icon, then click browse in the new window, find the file, and click upload. After it uploads, you can attach another. When you've attached all the photos you want to share, go back to the original window...

    Do Floating Objects Have 'Weight'?

    I'm trolling? You're the one who said scales know when they're on the moon, not me. I disagreed with the statement.

    Does the yellow cover come almost all the way over the EDGE or does it stop about 2/3 of the way up? I'm trying to determine if it is an earlier or later model, photos front and back would help.

    Dive Boat (and my) Mistake...

    Folks have already mentioned seting up your own gear and checking your tanks, but there is one other thing I do that would have prevented this problem and one thing that concerns me that no one has mentioned. I check both tanks while we're still at the dock. I don't assume there will be...

    Do Floating Objects Have 'Weight'?

    Nope. You are taking a very simple concept and complicating it. Take an imperial bathroom scale. Put an object on it that weighs 180 lbs. It will register 180 lbs. Take the scale and the object to the moon. It will register 30 lbs. It will register 30 lbs because in 1/6 G it actually...

    Is the EDGE yellow or does it have a yellow plastic holder? Most of the EDGEs I've seen were stainless steel with no paint, but if I remember correctly, some were painted. I seem to remember a buddy had a blue one.
