I have a little bit in mine after diving as well. Never enough to where I am concern about it.

The dive site will be there tomorrow. I have called more dives as I have gain experience than I did when I first started out. Was up in the Straits of Mackinac earlier this year and conditions were perfect. Decided not to do the second dive because I was having just as much fun watching the...

I have had 2 HP hoses fail here recently. One was an older one (from 2018) and the other was brand new. Hoses can fail at any time and for any reason. Most likely just a bad one out of a batch if it is a relatively new hose.

Shearwater has taken colorblindness into consideration. You can switch the Petrel controllers over to a colorblindness mode. If I am remembering right it is grey scale. Not sure if the new ones have different options depending on type of colorblindness.

I put on a scopolamine patch at least a day or two before the charter, that way it is already in my system. Then the night before I take meclizine and zyrtec, then morning of I take another meclizine and zyrtec. If diving multiple days, repeat process and change scopolamine path every 2 day...

Intersorb 812 in Cincy jumped up to 160ish. Luckily I stocked up last year and a buddy was selling 797 for $100 a keg so I bought some more off of him. Not really looking forward to buying more kegs at the end of the year.

I completed OC Helitrox in Feb. '21 and knew at some point I wanted to transition over into rebreather diving but thought it was further down the line. Well by April I came across a deal I could not pass up and ended up getting trained in November of '21 on my O2ptima. I thoroughly enjoy diving...

:oops:

I ran into a similar situation last year on the Great Lakes. Forecast looked great for the wreck we wanted to hit at 55m, but whenever we got up there the winds had shifted and turned everything up in that area. We ended up on a wreck at 30m instead. It is not uncommon to run into this situation...

I did AN/DP Helitrox OC the beginning of last year and by the end of the year I had completed AN/DP Helitrox on CCR. With how expensive helium is in the Great Lakes region (well over $3/cuft) it made sense to do the switch, especially with my wife as my primary dive buddy. Fill cost racks of...

The wind yesterday really made it bad yesterday. Water temp was actually higher than the air temp.

Well I guess it does depend on whether or not we do another death march.

30. Getting certified next month. Only done 1 year of OC with helium and it was enough to justify the leap, especially with the type of diving I am wanting to do. Sure I could have waited a little bit longer, but it didn't make sense to just delay the inevitable.

I am looking to buy a second Shearwater Perdix. Does not have to be AI.

I am looking into getting my first O2 analyzer and was wondering if there are any that I should stay away from. I have been looking at Oxycheq and the new Divesoft Solo analyzer. My plan is to get into trimix dives in the next 5 years, so I have been thinking of getting an analyzer that does...

I would highly recommend a Rx mask. I bought one 3 years ago when I got back into diving after a few year hiatus and it has been a blessing. I went through my LDS to get my mask. They worked with an optometrist that specializes in making Rx lenses and it has been great. I mainly dive with...

I am curious as to how many people dive sidemount in the Great Lakes. I have been dabbling in sidemount diving for 6 months now and while it is very nice when I shore dive, I have found it a little more cumbersome on a boat vs. a twinset. While I still plan on honing my sidemount diving I am not...
