    Should I dive in shallow waters without a certification?

    Even if there is no scuba law in your area, I would recommend against it. Thinking back to my starting days, I would probably not even have endangered myself, but simply miserably failed to descend and come into trim. Much more fun also to do it under instruction!

    Pool practice ahead of my first ever PADI Open Water dive?

    Boat diving.Do we have it all wrong?!

    Quite shocking. How do they manage to stay in business? Apart from it being not even possible depending on the amount of gear and conditions, it is a completely useless risk having to do all the heavy lifting in a hurry after a dive. Sure, I am also a proponent of "one should be able to provide...

    Barnaby's Dad, thanks! Actually, I never dive for golf balls. I also do not plan on doing so. I was to the contrary always surprised that this is really a thing...

    Boat diving.Do we have it all wrong?!

    A general problem throughout parts of the diving community. Sure, not every idea is good. But resistance to any innovation for sure also is not.

    Deep Air VS CCR

    Do not feel confident in claiming any statistical value. What I see is that those folks that migrate to CCR seem to do it more or less completely.

    Current top drysuits for rec diving
