    turn off your own tank valves???

    Hmm. I am trying to vizualize the problem. If you are wearing a regular jacket bc and standing dry with a tank it will set real low. In the water it is much easier. The manuver is not actually lifting the tank in the straps it is lifting the slack of the entire bcd unit. My personal preference...

    turn off your own tank valves???

    Holy bejesus! You should absolutley be able to reach back and turn your valves off and more importantly ON! ---------- Post added April 4th, 2012 at 04:33 PM ---------- If you do not have it set high enough to reach try putting your other hand under the bottom of your tank and lift it to your...

    Not for my kayak. I was curious how much if a investment it would be for local dive ops to put it on their boats. There was a bug push years ago for on oard O2 kits on boats and it was common for divers to ask if they had onboard O2 when choosing ops and booking dives. I forsee this being a...

    Where to go beginner diving that's safe and cheap

I hand carry my tanks for fills to blue water divers air jams for like five bucks. I walk to dive. I walk to eat dinner...

    Missing Divers

    I believe a smoke flare in a sealed pvc wieghted tube would dive just jim dandy. PVC Sch40 has a PSI rating of 500# and that's a WHOLE bunch of ATM's. I was thinking a screw cap to allow for insepctions. I wonder about the strikeability once taken out of the dry tube with wave action wetting...

    Capt Scotty-- "pushed the button to see what it does" -- this is why I like the Statute for misuse of 911. With the new phase three tracking of GPS enabled phones they can put me within three feet of where the call was made and normally Jr is still around giggling about it. I imagine there is...

    It's all over

    I am no Marine Biologist but isn't it early for Losters to be carrying eggs? I personally have seen around five myself. It would seem they are about two months early in the mating season. Hopefully this is extra clutches and more lobster for later. Grow baby lobsters,.. Grow grow grow.

    Wookie--This is what I was thinking from what I saw. I was speculating it is possible someone would surface in bad weather with nothing in sight.. kick back hit their distress and think the world was coming to them and be very wrong. For $300 clams the shop should give the user a short demo...

    Chuck Husick on BoatUScom How many Florida Dive operators have upgraded their VHF radios to this version to work with the Nautilus Lifeline Radios? Locally, recently I have seen a diver use the talk function of his radio to get picked up after he did a major navigation oppsie. Yesterday a...

    Jupiter Helldiver 2-17

    I saw that also looked like a single. It also would not surprise me at all. You'd not believe some of the reckless cowboy diving that goes on in these parts. I used to try and make a point of educating but now I just give up. As long as they are not my buddy they can dive what ever makes...
