    Beqa Shark Attack

    If some guy up in Bozeman decided to open a business called "Come Pet the Grizzly Bears", I would call that totally nuts. State Game and Fish would shut that down ricky-tick.

    Sticking snorkel valve lube?

    If it's sticking then wash the pancake syrup or whatever off the valve. If it still sticks then the silicone is shot, throw it in the bin.

    How many online forum group members does it take to change a lightbulb?

    I would, but first you will have to choose your agency. LED, CFL, or Tungsten. Or something really old and obscure out of L.A. County. Keep copies of all your paperwork, just in case they have a fire and lose your originals.

    How many online forum group members does it take to change a lightbulb?

    If the bulb is in a fixture mounted more than 3 feet higher than the floor you must have a HIGH Light Bulb Changing Certification. We can't let you climb the ladder if you don't. ALBC does NOT qualify you to perform a light bulb change higher than 3 feet.

    Added tourniquet to my thigh pocket

    So your recommendation for a tourniquet for use in / around salt water is a SOFTW tourniquet? You seem to be qualified to make the call.

    Added tourniquet to my thigh pocket

    I'm the OP. My thinking came from previous stories and finally this one- Man Killed by Shark in Maui ID’d as Recently Retired Optometrist From NorCal He was missing one leg from the knee down. I'm not a trained medic, so bear with me. Maybe these times are about right to bleed out-...

    Added tourniquet to my thigh pocket

    I've been reading the incidents re: shark bites involving swimmers / surfers / divers being bit. Had some conversations with an Army SF medic, and I decided to add a tourniquet in my thigh pocket. At least I'll have one handy in case of. This one is dead simple and will work ok at least for a...

    Left handed?

    I’m left handed. Forget about right/left handed, it’s just standardized and different sides for different things had to be set. BC dump on the left shoulder, primary over the right shoulder, etc. Switching everything around is a needless nightmare. Nothing requires surgical dexterity. I can...

    Running the boat over my head after back roll.

    We thank your lucky stars you are alive. Wow, HTF do you hit a diver with a live prop if you're paying attention? P-test would be interesting.

    I swim about 10 miles a week in fins. If you send me a pair of Force Fins, I'll put them in a study and write a paper.

    Blade fin with negative buoy for floaty feet

    If your feet are small, fins will be smallish, and the amount of neg buoyancy with that negative fin will be smallish as well. I think med jets with 3mm boots will float. You should find some actual fins to try on with the boots you’re going to wear. I’m a mens 10.5, and large jets with 2mm...

    Replace Atomic Swivel or Keep it

    That $110 hose is for pikers. The one you want is titanium: https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Titanium-Comfort-Swivel-Hose/dp/B01DQSYP3A OMG I had no idea you could spend this much on a hose.
