I stand corrected, as a practical mater, I have triple distilled the product and only been in the high 80s. What would it take to get to the 95.6%? Would it ever be worth the additional effort?

I wish I had my still with me. I could make a fortune here manufacturing 160+ proof er, hand sanitizer. Use about 10 kgs sugar, heat it so it dissolves completely in 20 l water. After cooling the sugar will remain in suspension in a super saturated condition. Add in turbo or quick yeast. Let...

I read one article that suggested that the death rate in Italy was higher because it got into an older segment of the population. Also smoking is more prevalent in Italy than many other countries. Older smokers with perhaps more underlying health issues will result in a higher death rate. More...

Was anything done on the boat on the return trip? Was the dive master informed? At the very least ,IMHO ,he should have been given O2.It may not help but it would never hurt. I was taught if any doubt start the O2.

I don't think it caused the problem, it might have highlighted them but the underlying issues would have been there independent of the posting of a thread.

I don't recall the flesh eating bacteria in 2010. Was it in all the newspapers and I missed it? Make enough predictions and sooner or later you will get one right, even a blind chicken gets some corn.

It was not so much that a lot changed in the virus and its propagation rates, what changed was that the US and other governments woke up to the facts and the politicians made the decisions to take significant steps to control the spread of the virus. The information was out there, all it took...

As far as I am concerned, anyone traveling internationally, especially those traveling to less developed places, need to do their due diligence on every trip. In normal times this would be not too much, you take a sun flight package deal to somewhere touristy and can reasonably expect that...

I took my OW over Xmas New year 1996/97. PADI At the time I was told that I was good to go to 40 m/135 ft, but strongly advised not to go beyond 30 m/100 ft without additional training. My dive sites in Canada only had 30 m/100 ft in accessible depth so I only went that deep on my AOW+ ( No...

Watching season 1 and 2 of Ozark again. (Netflix) Season 3 on Friday. :snorkel:

Swimming because people were not social distancing themselves, diving for same reasons, boat diving was shut a few days ago as it is difficult toi keep separation on the boat. However I was diving with Cebu Dive Centre and they staggered the dives to keep the crowd lower at the shop. The worst...

While the actual decree said shutdown at midnight tonight, (Monday 23 Mar midnight local time) the police came by and shut down diving today. I had planned to do three shore dives but was on my first surface interval when the diving was canceled. Only one training dive, to finish off a group...

I always have one with me, except on ice dives and always use it on the surface. As soon as I splash off the boat or wade into deep enough water to float, I use the snorkel until the group is gathered and ready to descend and then as soon as I surface after the dive I switch back. It is the...

You can roll some duct tape around a little bit of 550 cord, leave a loop at one end and then you can attach it as a zipper pull on jackets etc so you always have a little bit with you on your travels,

There is a pretty strong curfew in effect, not sure about the times as I am in an Airbnb remote form the main hotel/restaurant area. One of the instructors was standing just outside his own gate having a smoke a few minutes after curfew time, he was ordered by armed police to get back in his...

I checked the Philippine Airline site. Manila to Vancouver one way is now more than I saw Cebu-Manila-Vancouver Winnipeg return about 6 weeks ago. Only foreigners can fly on them and they will return more or less empty. If you leave no idea when you will be able to return.

I am in Moalboal Cebu, Philippines. Local traffic is not shut down but there is a a curfew on bars and restaurants as well as being out of your place after a certain time. Not sure what the times are as I am in an Airbnb about 4 kms away from the dive operations. Boat dives are shut down so...

I am in Moalboal not, when I got to the doive center this AM they said that all diving would be shut down at least 2 weeks starting day after tomorrow. After my second dive it was changed to shore diving only from the dive shop, no traveling by car or boat to dive. I am diving with Cebu Dive...

The World Health Organization has stated that dogs cannot get the virus and all canines in quarantine can be released. That's right WHO let the dogs out.

Over 30C in the Philippines and over half the population in strict lock down. Anyone else notice that the person crying fake news the most is usually the one generating the most fake news? Kind of like teenage boys talking about having sex.
