That had to be some salty food! Also, I can't imagine trusting myself to keep my regulator in my mouth while I was sleeping unless I had a full face mask.

Wait.... Does he do that with just a wet suit? According to Wikipedia, the temperature in deep water is between 0 °C (32 °F) and 3 °C (37 °F). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_ocean_water

Sometimes I will see that there are people in the chat room, but when I click on it, there is no one there. For example I see this: When I log in, I don't see anyone. I know it's not a big issue, and it doesn't really bother me that much, but since this is the "feedback" section, I...

I get that he is going a very deep ways underwater, but seriously.... you look like a tool with all those tanks on you.

No, I don't remember them sadly. I think one of them was fairly close to La Jolla Cove, but I don't remember it's name. That shop did say that they used to fill tanks, but do not do it any more. I think the other shop was up by Oceanside. We ended up at a Sport Chalet near my brother's...

We dove alone. No guide. We just used that website. A tip for that website though, click on the pictures. Some of them have more information if you click on them. Usually the last one that shows the entire area has arrows that tell you were to park, stage and dive. Also, read the comments...

I dove La Jolla Cove and the Marine Room with my girlfriend. It was our first dive after becoming certified. I see you are also in Phoenix. You probably certified in Lake Pleasant then. Keep in mind that the ocean will actually have waves and surge that you have to deal with. This was the most...

Type 1 decompression sickness can cause strange pains in various parts of the body. If it happens in the ears, it can cause temporary hearing loss. Type 1 decompression sickness can subside in a few minutes to a few hours. Type 1 is not serious, but if you experience other symptoms of...

I have an older model Oceanic OceanPro BCD. The clip on one of the weight bags is broken, and I need a new weight bag. I am having a hard time finding this model bag. It looks like this: Anyone have one you could sell me?

I find this interesting. When I did my PADI course, we didn't learn the eRDP tables at all. We talked about what they were, but not how to use them. When we did our certification dives, we used computers for the whole thing.

Used your image to do a reverse image search. Found this website claiming that it is an Oceanic regulator. Barter and Trade Page - Bartering or Selling

Although, the owner doesn't seem to understand what a "testimonial" is for. :chuckle:

Dove Biesmeyer Point and Desert Tortoise Road this weekend. Dove to about 40 feet. Above 25 feet: About 10 feet visibility, 83 degrees 25-40 feet: About 2 feet visibility, 77 degrees.

I see a lot of people recommending toothpaste or fire to clean the lenses of the manufacturing chemicals. My dive shop recommended using Soft Scrub cleaner. It's more abrasive than toothpaste, but still won't scratch the lens of the mask. I prepped my mask that way, and it doesn't fog up easily...

Wow. This IS disgusting. I've only done a few dives, but even I know better than to mess with the underwater wildlife. Our instructors and the PADI certification material made a point to inform us that we should never interfere with the wildlife. Bashing open sea urchins and squeezing sea hares...

Granted, but you can only fly to landlocked areas. I wish my scuba cylinder would never run out of air.

Hello everyone! My girlfriend and I got certified to dive in January. We bought all our own gear and have logged 10 dives since our certification. We live in Phoenix, Arizona. The middle of the desert might seem like an odd place to start diving, but I've been surprised at how large the diving...

If you get a used regulator, take it into your dive shop the day you get it. Have them do a full inspection and service on it. They will tell you what's wrong and will get it in good working order after that. The manufacturers usually recommend a yearly maintenance on regulators, so just keep...

My girlfriend and I just started diving in January. We went on Craigslist and I was able to buy a complete used setup for $200 (BCD, wetsuits, fins, mask, snorkel, regulators, gauges, tanks, everything). I had the BCD, regulator and tanks inspected and serviced, and that all probably cost me...

I would not go with a men's size wetsuit. They are not designed for a woman at all. I have an XL sized men's wetsuit, and my girlfriend has a hard time getting into it. It doesn't fit around her thighs or her chest. She wears a 14, but the regular 14's are too tall. She bought a "14 short" from...
