^ diving trivia for those who didn't know: Danny Riordan developed the cookie (the non-directional cave line marker for those who don't know what a cookie is either)

the CW/CCW is the part that's hard to remember when you're learning. the mnemonic of "drill is UNDER way"... "drill is OVER" helps to remember which direction comes first.

Donate the second stage, stabilize, then: move light head around long hose counterclockwise (UNDER/OVER), deploy the remainder of the longhose (clear battery/pull out slack) and be on your way wherever you need to go. If it's a drill, then clean up in reverse, including moving light head...

Jesus, just bring the frickin' stick and if someone (guide/DM) tells you you can't use it, then don't. What's so hard about figuring this out, no one has an answer so continuing the bickering isn't going to product an answer from the ether. It's not like you're thinking about packing a scooter...

With video. So you have the cringeworthy pleasure of diver #1 kneeling and crawling along the delicate deteriorating thermal tiles 🙄 (if you've ever gotten to hold one, they're ultra-light and fragile ceramic matrix, kind of like pumice).

New wing

Pink jetfins and these. The JJ wing is in the mail. Drysuit is black.

One of my friends just ordered one, excited to see it in person. I bet lime green would look awesome too.

Video no load. What should we be seeing if it were to play? Another porcupinefish, or angelfish, or...?

Did T1 in Mexico (Puerto Aventuras / Zero Gravity) with David Watson + Guy Shockey (it was a T1 IE). Fantastic experience, they're both wonderful instructors. Also highly recommend traveling for class to have an even more "enriching" experience; will be doing the same in February for CCR1.

Did a north Red Sea route in September diving dry, I'll do it again if only to not be waterlogged. Water was 27-29C. I was a lot more comfortable after dives than people in wetsuits. If you don't have replaceable seals though, best to bring a wetsuit (we had someone have that happen; I brought...

I have a mixed setup of Deep6 firsts and S600/S620ti seconds. I really like the turreted sealed first stages! The seconds performed great but I didn't like two things about them. I took them off my backmounts but will continue using them for deco bottles because there's nothing wrong with...

It's a "real" cave dive. Diving in the Molnár János cave and Kőbánya Mine

Same (experiencing it firsthand). Currently working through some major issues with them (QA, warranty, and customer service), doesn't sound promising but I'll report back on the resolution whether it's a total win or an abysmal fail!

Same. Ordered a MTM FLX Extreme and the fit is: Absolutely. *******. Horrible. Like yours, the arms are droopy like a wingsuit. The rest of the top: without undergarments I could probably get a set of double 100's in the suit with me (and could probably easily wear 3 BZ400s if Santi made a...

Apparently yes, and Syria is another one that gets flagged from what I'm reading. However, I'm sure thousands or more payments have been made on Venmo with "scuba" in the description and surely they're not all getting held up. Or surely they are... I worked with a woman named "Isis" once, I...

FYI, I had payments both in and outbound via Venmo that were held up presumably because "scuba" looks like "cuba". The payment I made I had to supply multiple rounds of information including AirBnB information on that the payment was for (apartment in Mexico, comment was "Casa de Scuba"). Took...

Husky X Table, they don't make them anymore but Kobalt does, you can get them at Lowes (in the US at least) https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-30-8-in-W-x-31-75-in-H-Plastic-Work-Bench/1000421921

Muchos gracias for the recording, had to leave a little early, and for putting it together in the first place, good content and will definitely watch whatever you have planned next!

Where in SoCal are you? San Diego here, have an Aqualung Solafx (men's MT) with maybe 5 dives on it that's not dived anymore (went dry).
