Not quite. I looks like there is at least one still going strong.;)

I haven't had it happen but I do remember it being taught in my OW class. I think it was a great idea to have that discussion after it happened. Maybe these incidents should be discussed on the boat instead of just on ScubaBoard.

I saw a news report suggesting that people use their smart phone to check for a bluetooth signal around an ATM. Might be worth considering and could end up being a good suggestion. The story also included information of how many of these are being found at gas stations and ATMs here in the US.

The difference between fresh water and Salt water is .013 psi/ft or 1.3 psi/100 foot.

Every boat I have been on had an analyzer and you were expected to double check it yourself. (as is the procedure that I learned) If you want to check your gas, you can easily just remove the reg and check your gas and your O ring at the same time. As for weight. The valet trips I have...

Um, were talking about the exhaust here.:D

I did not ask them where they came from. I encountered them as employees at the airport, I assume the live on the island. However, your point is taken.

Sorry you had the bad experience Lorenzoid. During my trips there I never experienced this problem. I would probably have asked to be placed on a different boat after the first day since you are assigned a boat for the entire week. The trip to Mary's place is usually mid-later in the week in...

Since my first night dive was such a disaster, I try to put myself in a position that the dive bombers do not have the chance to cause me problems. I try to stay away from the crowd, I may miss something the DM was pointing out but I may find something on my own. As for a photo? No single...

Eye bleach, everyone should bring it with them on the boat. Some things cannot be unseen. YMMV

Being 60+ I get a physical every year. The doc signs off on the form, I take it with me in my log book in case I need it. I answer the questions accurately but have never been asked to show the form.

On the 2 live aboards I have been on when you got out of the water you gave your max depth and dive time. I usually just pushed the button on my computer to display max depth and dive time. No problem.

AKR is a great resort. Having been there 3 times I can say I would go again. As diversteve has answered your questions I don't have much to add. The cruise ship people are not a problem. They keep them separated. The boats are roomy and you will have plenty of room. You will need to stay...

My last trip through Owens was a total PITA. It was a busy Saturday afternoon. Flights had been delayed. I had just finished a Cayman Aggressor trip. We left the boat and went to the airport. We hung around the counter to get our boarding passes. 4 people from our group were selected for...

I have 3 computers. They are Oceanic computers running the same algorithm. I do it in case of a failure on a trip. I only get 1 or 2 trips per year and don't wish to have a problem. The Datamask is on my face, the OC-1 on my wrist and the BUD clipped to my BC. I have never had a computer...

It seems to me that what first needs to be establish is an objective measure of fatigue. Then an attempt to determine the cause of the fatigue being measured. I will continue to appreciate the lessened fatigue I get from using Nitrox placebo or not.

I run firefox on a Mac. If I clear browsing history it will revert back to a smaller size font. I have to increase it again.

On a Mac hold down command while pushing + or -

You cannot possibly dive without a petrel. Even riding on the boat without one will probably cause you great harm.

Yes, all of them are on paper logs and a total underwater time is recorded. I would have to look and see what the total is but I do keep the total time. All of the dives are signed off on by an instructor, DM or buddy.
