This is very timely, as I have been looking around for some stainless steel grommets myself. All I could locate were nickel plated brass. Thanks for the link to the sailing supply place. I have seen a harness with the hole melted through it rip, given enough use. Sucks when you are not expecting...

Would be REALLY useful if there was a way to import the Shearwater Desktop's DB file (starting dive #, ending dive #, etc) . As it stands right now, Shearwater Desktop only allows a dive-by-dive export in the xml format. I have 500+ dives to import, so that might take awhile. Software looks...

In the words of David Lee Roth, "I know the law, friend." Many cannot relate to that statement and most THINK they know. I am all for dive flags. When you dive off my boat in a drift, I require them. I wont argue they are a great way to keep track of your divers in the water. But I use my BOAT...

However Randy will not supply you with bubblewrap. Unfortunately you'll have to bring your own, along with a flag. I think my favorite boat to dive off of other than my own, is Randy Jordan's Emerald Charters. Sometimes I enjoy diving with him more than on my own boat. The sea life is...

I dont consider the anchor in the sand adrift. We move the anchor away from the wreck, however it is certainly not adrift. I am pretty sure DSix meant the same thing.

As long as the man at the wheel knows what he is doing and your boat is in good running order, either way is fine in my opinion. We do it all the time. After hundreds of dives things continue to go well. We have very specific ways for doing things, and everyone understands what needs to happen...

I have taken the HeroHD3 black with the LCD installed to 230' for 15 minutes - 200 plus on many occasions. It works great for me

Owning a scooter and being able to use it are two separate things, I would agree. What wreck were you on, out of curiosity?

Sounds like you should buy a scooter to me, LOL. Glad you are ok. That sounded like a rather nerve racking day.

What brand and size card are you using?

I own the XT and have performed about 10 dives on it so far. I am using it as my primary regulator in a doubles configuration, and I also own one for my single tank regulator. For the money, I think the regulator is great. Dive Rite has completely sealed the 1st stage, which is very nice when it...

Les than two years old. Comes with Aqualung Legend DIN ACD 1st stage, Aqualung Legend 2nd stage, Oceanic console with analog depth gauge, SPG, and Aqualung octo. Also all hoses pictured. First $365.00 takes it ($350.00 + 15.00 shipping) I will ship this to the Continental USA only. If you are in...

I haven't seen very many people on a charter boat with doubles unless there is a planned tech dive, however there have been a few occasions, and usually the biggest issue is the tank holders, and how to stow the tanks. If they are using the "cup" style holders, it can be an issue, but you simply...

What kind of tanks are you diving typically? Is that likely to change? When you switch to the winter wear, you wont need more lift, if anything you need slightly less. I used to dive single steel hp 130 single tanks, and I would not have wanted any less than the Dive-Rite Voyager wing I was...

Doubles are not just for tech! I have been converting over to 50cf tanks doubled together for all my no-deco dives. So I think there are a ton of generalizations going on here. Doubles are worth getting used to, especially if you are going to do tech diving down the road. Only you can say if you...

Eric, you are correct. One thing I will tell you is if you are hot-dropped, always pay attention to the depth. Deeper than you should be? swim west. Shallower? Swim East. typically we have a northbound current, so you will be dropped south of the wreck most of the time. If you dont mind me...

Here is video one of my friends did of one of our recent dives on the Lowrance. This should help. She is a very large wreck. so unless you have a scooter, explore a small section of her. Just N of her is the Renegade. we have actually hot dropped on the Lowrance, and drifted/scootered to the...

\ I wonder if maybe his backup bladder is defective. I dive steel 100 doubles all the time.. I have no issues whatsoever orally inflating, and managing my dive with my backup bladder disconnected completely from any air source. I purposely do not have an inflator hose running to it. To me the...

When you see a Bull shark, from my experience, its usually because they don't see you, or haven't seen you very well, I dont know much about Cozumel, but have a look at this video. The shark hears the noise that I make, but does not see me. He comes to investigate, and when he can see me, he...

And I would have you arrested for assault and theft. ANYONE touches me or my sh** is in for a world of hurt. For any reason.
