Different article w/ video- Recent snorkel deaths prompts investigation into full-faced snorkel masks

Old fin, 30" bungee, 7" bike inner tube. Thread the bungee on 1 side, make 3 loops. Go up, then down through the loops. Work the knot tighter and move knot / buckle where it needs to go. Adjust bungee length and tighten knot. Swim every day with this, I replace bungee every year or so, $3...

When I was 5 I'd put on my little mask and snorkel and dive with Mike Nelson whilst watching Sea Hunt. In Iowa. Does that get any points? No?

Poking around the web's attic, I came across this at Aluminum Tank Controversy Continues: Undercurrent 08/2000 The leading manufacturer, Luxfer, has just issued a new policy statement requiring that every Luxfer 6351-T6 aluminum scuba cylinder be visually inspected at least every 2.5 years and...

This is nuts. Empty and drill holes in every one of these things. 1 person decides these tanks are ok to fill, and then exposes everyone within blast radius of your poor decision making. Let me guess, the person(s) injured are often not the person who decided the tank was ok to fill. Eddy...

The victim doesn't need his fins

Go to a place that sells and repairs commercial lawnmowers. I think that would be a winner for different size tubes in the trash pile.

Buy the jets, lifetime warranty is a plus. My warm fins are an old pair of TUSA Imprex fins I got at goodwill for $5. Tough as nails and have neutral buoyancy. They are also my distance swim fins and have been in the water 400+ times and other than cosmetic marks are like new.

If your 2nd stage has adjustments, know how to turn off the venturi assist, and increase the breathing effort. That may stop the free flow.

Feeding broaster chickens to crocodiles in 2 foot vis, now that's excitement!

Much more to be discussed concerning snorkels and split fins.

Rick Allen: Divers Alert Network, Trust But Verify

Try: http://www.frogkick.dk/manuals/xs-scuba/XS_Scuba_o2cleaning_manual.pdf Google "navy scuba regulator oxygen clean pdf" or something like that and look around. Watching old Navy / Air Force training films on mixing O2 with grease or oil would be a good idea but I can't find those. Here...

I swim on my back every once in a while to keep track of the boat.

I carry an 11' chunk of 2" webbing in my bag. It already has a hole in the middle. Whatever harness my plate has, anything breaks I can thread in my spare in about 6 minutes. In a rescue class, I wore a simple harness with no buckles. We all had to think a bit as to how to remove my...

My dive computer has a setting to enable "auxillary off-gassing".

The are at least 2 generations / designs of Hog wings. I bought mine 18mo ago and it has 3 pairs of bolt grommets and the cam band slots are very long. This wing has a good chance of working with just about any plate, there is a lot of adjustment up and down. I have a OMS SS plate and it...
