Our main dive attraction on Vis was a massive friendly conger that we would feed, not the one on the video. They are very confident and approach slowly, if they do bite it feels like you have been hit by a blunt object. The big ones were really smart, they would remember divemasters and follow...

I think everyone should try to tow their scooter out on OC just to see how physical demanding it is and then remember that it's still neutral/positive. Flooded scooter deep in a cave is a very expensive sack of bricks. It's a serious question, do you double your SAC for safety, do you triple it?

I use sofnolime 20kg canisters to keep gasoline, they seal well enough to swell up when left in the sunlight.

Are you using a ccr stand? Did not like mine to much but it could fit a 1l tank bellow the can.

Man the amount of times I was fiddling with a rope or some lanyard in 0 vis and banged my knees on the bottom is..... unfortunate and embarrassing.

If you get hypothermic enough the snow starts to feel like warm sand.

A modern boat means modern materials. Plywood and fiberglass.

There was a half serious comercial effort to get some deep water species using ROVS and traps. As far as I know it failed due to a lack of interest and overhead costs of keeping and acclimatizing those species to aquariums. It's not just the difficulty of doing a 100+ meter dive, there's...

WHY GARMIN, WHY MUST YOU CONTINAULY MAKE ME LIVE AT THE EDGE OF POVERTY.

I prefer the shadow mounts for smaller tanks, especially if you are switching them on the boat with not a lot of space. Easier to take them off and put them back on.

Great, now they can print it out on their 1995 course materials.

You saw that tick tock where the species was sold for 10k, didn't you?

Most overtuned or badly maintained regs will start to free flow if you create a small pressure differential by swishing it around or turning the mouthpiece up. Theoretically if it causes a freeflow the freeflow might cause the first stage to ice up preventing you from stopping the free flow...

I had the misfortune of having divers I was guiding get themselves dragged into breaking surf twice. Both times it was a buddy pair that had no experience of diving in bad weather or in any kind of current really. One time we had a rope long enough for me to drag to them and the boat managed the...

It's probably a spot where they regularly clean fish or feed the sharks/stingrays.

Problem with filming is that at some point or another it will distract you for a couple of moments. A couple of distracted moments can be the last nudge needed for the O'**** mountain to come crashing down on you. Even in this case, after all the lapses in common sense and diving procedures if...

Air pockets are common in ships that sink quickly, the thing is just because it's an air pocket does not mean it's permanently breathable. Most people think of whole rooms being filled with air, in reality it's tiny corners where a person succumbs to hypoxia or co2 rather quickly. Even if they...

Except Poseidon I can't think of any other unit that can't be serviced by just about anybody with basic wiring knowledge. Some units almost force you to DIY, last time when I asked for a rewiring for my meg the quote was over 1000 euros. Yaaaay Eu.

Any solvent, acetone, wd-40, carbo cleaner, concentrated dish soap will get rid of it in seconds. Just rinse in water after it and there is no way that the rubber gets damaged.

Unfortunately the right of way is useful only in law proceedings. In reality the boat that is less likely to sink has the right of way.
