    Air integration

    Knowing your (more or less) instaneous rate of air consumption is an amazing biofeedback tool which allows you to extend your diving time (if gas limited as a opposed to ndl limited) significantly by having an indicator of your exertion level.

    Is scuba gear life support?

    My intent on starting this thread wasn't necessarily to answer the question in the thread title but more to start a conversation about the opinions of the guy being interviewed in the video. Specifically, should someone not commence a dive to a certain depth unless they are confident in their...

    Question Show me how you keep gear streamlined [Pics Requested]

    Recent experiences with cutters in carry on?

    Unintentionally left my trilobite attached to my harness which I had in my carryon at PBI last week. Didn't realize it until I unpacked at home.

    No medical clearance

    Beaches in Turks makes you get an onsite doctor's checkup before you dive unless you check no on every box on their form or have a doctor at home sign the form. You basically lose a full day or more if diving if you have any Rx.

    Caribbean Family trip: Which one do you recommend?

    Beaches is good. But be prepared for shorter dives. Also, make sure you sign up the day before in person for diving and snorkeling trips. You can always cancel but the boats do fill up. Also, make sure you complete the doctors clearance if you are on any meds before hand other wise you will...
