I remember hearing a story about some navy divers that used to run the exhale hose on their twin hose into a lump of cork to break apart the bubbles coming out.

Alot of the guys i dive with have short lines with clips attached to their weight belt since we dive off a RHIb quite a lot. It means that even if the crew are busy helping someone else you can clip your weight belt to the side of the boat, then release it from yourself and you then have no...

Ive done a few dive where ive been wearing a blue boiler suit, black jet fins, black hood, black mask, black BC, black reg and a blue tank with a black mesh over it. My buddies commented that they could pretty much just see a yellow octopus reg apparently hovering along in the water all by its...

I used to get dizziness ion ascent in the 6-7 meter range. Then i had a cold and couldn't dive for a few weeks and on my first day back i blew a lot of rubbish out on ascent and ever since then ive not had a problem with it :D If I recall there is a wee hole in the bit of the inner ear that...

Got half way to a dive site and our minibus exhaust fell off causing the passenger compartment to fill up with smoke. Got out at the side of the road and strapped up what remained and chucked what was left of the exhaust system in the back of the bus. We then had to drive the rest of the way...

One of my friends was standing in a dive shop on holiday and there was a video of a wreck absolutely covered in fish. He went out and dived the wreck expecting it to be a brilliant dive and spent 45 minutes swimming round an absolutely barren wreck. When he went back to the shop and looked...

As my instructor likes to tell me: When i started diving I knew everything, then i got more experienced and realised I hardly knew anything, then i got even more experienced and realised i knew nothing at all. The more you learn the more you realise how little you know and how there are no...

Ive found SEEDS works well: Signals: Go over any signals your likley to use to make sure you both talking on the same page so to speak Equipment: Check over your own equipment and familiarise yourself with your buddies inflater controls, weight system, air sharing procedure, location of...

Ive had a computer fail but that was in fairly extreme cold. I generally just have a wee computer and an analog depth gauge and watch. I use the depth gauge and watch as my primary and my comp can serve as a backup watch/depth gauge if one of them dies, though ive never had problems with them...

Ive done alot of mooring inspections, quite often people will ask us to swim down and have a look. I also had a guy who bought a motor sailor and after having it in the water for a few months decided to try sailing with it only to discover the keel board which was meant to drop down was jammed...

Looks like a punctured exhalation hose? Maybe email the person in charge with a link to the VDH site so they can get a replacement, alternatively some electrical tape could work as a temporary solution :D While they are at it they could get some aquasure to repair what looks like a big tear in...

Youll die if you wear a dry-suit - "Those things are dangerous!" Youll die if you wear a wetsuit - "Hypothermia!" Youll die if you wear no exposure suit at all -"HYPOTHERMIA!" Youll die if you wear a STAB jacket - "Those things put you on your front" Youll die if you wear a wing - "THOSE...

Ive found with the guys I dive with shallower than about 20 meters on the cylinders we use (generally a 12 or 15 litre 232 bar) our air will run out before our no stop time. Deeper than 20 meters we generally hit our no stop time before we run out of air. Our gas/ time planning tends to be...

I had a similar incident in a really old otter commercial suit I had. It had a "Vanity zip" as we called it running across the crotch in case nature called while you where in the suit. Of course one day I rolled into the water off the RHIB and immediately had a massive rush of 44f water to the...

My mother knitted me one for my birthday last year after i got my twin hose. She also got me a pipe which i use to blow bubbles :D

Determine the type of diving you want to be doing, then you can determine what equipment you need :D For instance, i would say a strobe is absolutely essential since alot of my diving is in pitch black zero vis water and sometimes all you have to go on is a little blinking light to tell where...

I used to swim alot for fun when i was younger, nowadays I dont swim without scuba very often. I had to do a swimming assessment to get my qualification and still have to go through it every now and again since when we run someone through it we do it next to them to show them it can be done :D...

* What would you do if your buddy started making fun of how much air you use? Just ignore them. * What would you do if another diver criticized your gear? Think about what they said, take it onboard if i think it makes sense otherwise ignore it. * What would you do if you saw something...

* What would you do if your buddy kicked your reg out of your mouth? Stick it back in, try to maintain a bit more distance in future * What would you do if your mask strap broke and you lost your mask? Grab buddy and abort dive, ive done an abort from about 20 meters taking of the mask and...
