    ScubaPro Dive bag and Cancer Warning Concerns

    Your dive bag is far safer than the last string of little Christmas lights I bought, 5 warning labels, contains materials ... state of California ... die die die. You're safe in Washington.

    House insulation all over Regs

    I would make absolute certain there is nothing around or in the inlet to the 1st (HP) stage. You don't want anything driven into the 1st stage internals.

    Latent organizational weakness

    I think you can be too helpful. Some people are "first the test, then the lesson" types and have to learn everything the hard way. It's the only way they learn, and it's scary when it shows up in scuba.

    A need to rehash our discussion on primary donate

    I’m assuming a couple things if it’s vacation diving. The more a random diver doesn’t pay attention to their gas, the more likely they are to stress and panic if they run out of air. And they are going to pull my reg out of my mouth, probably pull my mask off, and try to pull us both up to the...

    Peeing in the suit has been discussed forever - now the old diver perspective

    You can ask your urologist about using a "clamp". Me, I'm old, it's my suit, I don't worry about it.

    Tools for opening Computer Battery Door

    If it has a coin slot, clamp which ever coin fits properly in a visegrip plier. Hold the visegrip down by the jaws as you turn. If it's too tight stop before you break it, take it to the dive shop and let them break it.

I was going to point this out as a selling point for Jet Fins, but then I thought I would look it up as to the warranty if you bought them TODAY. Surprise, surprise, surprise, it looks like the warranty is now 1 year. Is this...

    Dive Master Training, Swim Test went back in class

    If your going to succeed at your 400, just swim more. One method that may help, break that 400 into 8 x 50's. Swim down, turn, swim back. Rest say 15 secs, off you go again. When this is easy, cut back on your rest time. Concentrate on your stroke, relax but feel the power pushing the water...
