I have been turned turtle in 1-2 ft of water when i stumbled on a rock and ended up on my back in a drysuit, steel back plate, 18# of lead and a big steel tank. The only way i could get turned over was slide into deeper water where i could get turned over. It was in an inland lake with no wave...

As a DM I try to DM at least one Rescue Class a year just to help keep my skills refreshed. Even if I am not doing all the skills just being in the class helps keep them fresh. One of the best parts and can be the worst parts is being the lost diver. I get a chance to to just lay on the bottom...

I am pushing 71 and got certified at 60 and my DM at 66. I find the biggest issue is humping the gear in and out of the water, almost all shore dives in lakes. I bring a folding work bench that generally allows me to gear up close to the water and either back my vehicle down and unload gear or...

If you can get the neck seal streached over an AL 80 with some tape wraped around it they work great for cutting neck seals with a very sharp utility knife. Just follow the cut lines in a continuos cut. It has been my experience that Silicone neck seals have a tendency to roll more than latex...

My preference is diaphragm regs because much of my diving is done in cold water and some of the lakes we dive in very silty bottoms and it has happened where we actually dive into the muck because the VI's is so bad you can not see the bottom until you are swimming into the muck.

I won a small Dive Knife in a raffle last weekend and traded it for a Mask Case with some trinkets in it because it would be more useful to me. I ALWAYS carry an EMT shears and usually a line cutter.

If you have a BC with adjustable shoulder straps loosen one or both shoulder straps all the way and then tighten them to the appropriate tightness when the BC is on and the waist belt/buckle is fastened at the right height. This gives you more play in the shoulder straps to get your arms in the...

Another issue I have seen is that divers using Air II/Alternate airsource do not change to a longer hose than the one that came with the reg set, generally 26-30". This leangth is to short to comfortably do an air share, both divers are in a very confined space created by the length of the...

I hope every one remembers to let the male end of electrical cords hang down after use so that the electricity runs out. It helps prevent a shocking experience.

I will be there next weekend for SCUBA-PALOOZA.
