    Article: How Many Wrecks Are There?

    Interesting article by the BBC, on how many wrecks there are in the world, and what the implications are for their future as more are found. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20230609-how-many-shipwrecks-are-there-in-the-worlds-oceans

    BP/W Harness Advice for Ten Year old Girl

    That is so cool! She looks really comfortable in her gear. So my daughter just did her first dive in the pool with her BP/W and a basic harness and she loved it!! It was her longest dive yet at 36 minutes and when I thumbed the dive she wanted to stay down longer! Her trim was a thousand times...

    BP/W Harness Advice for Ten Year old Girl

    I bought the PADI Seal Team materials online (workbook, DVD, stickers etc), and worked through that with my daughter in the pool starting when she was 8. I think it is such a good way to introduce them to Scuba. She loved it, and is really looking forward to her Junior Open Water class next...

    BP/W Harness Advice for Ten Year old Girl

    That was my fear, that she would struggle during class and not enjoy it. I'm hoping she loves a single tank BP/W setup as much as I do!

    BP/W Harness Advice for Ten Year old Girl

    So I remembered I had an old basic harness lying around. I rigged it with the small plate from Subgravity (which is solid quality by the way), and the singles wing from DGX. It looks good, and it fit my daughter well (she liked it!). The webbing is stiff, so I think once she has dived it a few...

    BP/W Harness Advice for Ten Year old Girl

    Was hoping for some advice on dive gear for girls... I am buying a short BP from Subgravity for my 10 year old daughter (she is 4'9"), and I am trying to decide on a harness. I can't decide between the Dive Rite Basic Harness, or the Dive Rite Deluxe harness. I've looked through old threads...

    Wonder Tunnel Video

    Thanks, just want to make sure it wasn't a side mount only tunnel before I went exploring!

    Wonder Tunnel Video

    Nice video! I dived the Bone Line to the Maple Leaf the other day and saw the Wonder Tunnel jump on the other side. I wondered what it looked like down there! Was the leading diver in your team in backmount?

    Halcyon reel resistance

    So I just bought another new 200' Light Monkey Reel. And this time I decided to follow the advice of pulling all the line off and putting it in a bucket to let the line swell. I will then put it back on and see if I have the same issue with this reel. My previous two I just used them as they...

    Halcyon reel resistance

    I had this same thing happen to me with a 200' and 400' light monkey reel. I called Light Monkey and they said it would cost me $80 to replace the spool on my 400' reel even though it was less than a year old. They said the same thing, that the line had been wound too tightly on the reel. I was...

    Average Depth on Graph

    Yes in Shearwater Cloud. I like how you can pull up data for any point in the dive by holding the mouse over the graph. I thought that average depth would be another useful piece of information to display.

    Average Depth on Graph

    Is it possible to add a feature to the graph to show the average depth at any point in the dive, the same way you can see the depth / SAC / deco requirements at any point in the dive? I am wanting to record the average depth for caves I have dived, the problem is after completing deco, it skews...

    Inexpensive Primary Light for Rec Diving

    DGX 600 and DGX 800 are both solid lights. I've used them for years with no issues.

    TDI Advanced Wreck

    I am definitely interested if you would be running a class down in Largo!

    TDI Advanced Wreck

    Advanced Wreck has been on my wish list for a while. But I went the Cave route first and got bitten by the bug! I still want to do Advanced Wrech though. I had asked Jim Wyatt about his classes a few years ago but he said he was up in cave country most of the the time now. Last time I looked...

    TDI Advanced Wreck

    Well that's frustrating to know, but at least you saved me from spending money on it!! Are you thinking about taking the Advanced Wreck class?

    TDI Advanced Wreck

    Is it not that good? I was planning on buying it myself as a reference book. I was hoping it was like the Cavern and Cave textbooks they produced.

    Favorite Handheld Light Under ~$600

    Thanks, I would really appreciate it! I agree, on paper, it would seem like a big improvement. I just want to know if I am paying $550 I will really feel the benefit. Otherwise, like @tbone1004 said, it might be worth just staying with my current setup and saving up for a cannister light for...
