    Optimal Pony Bottle Size for Failure at 100ft?

    as opposed to watching your computer to monitor depth every 3m and counting 10 seconds -but now your introducing more conditions to support your argument (just like you introduced Oil rigs) when what were talking about is running OOA and switching to a pony on an NDL dive

    cheap chinese video light review

    Question Do we need environment sealed first stages ?

    ahh the wonders of the Antipodes, there are still pockets of anti authoritarian rebels who spurn the anxiety driven and fragile mindset of the litigious Americans. There are people doing outrageously difficult cave dives in the Nullarbor and In NZ that dont have an instagram or facebook page...

    Question Anyone been to the Solomons lately?

    yes there is some shore diving -i was refering to the dive operators available to organise that - i think it would be an uphill battle fro a non local to organise it themselves and Troy form tulagi dive is more focused on commercial operations last time i was there going to the solomons for 10...

    Light Monkey Pitkin Controller Review

    i glued a plastic dome on the top where its "ON" so i can feel with dry gloves and confirms which way is on - i also got a bit of plastic tubing on the switch that extends past the cap so i can feel it better when my hands get cold

    Question Drysuit Heating. Which valves should I get?

    yes - the EO plug is the ubiquitous connection for most heating /lighting in water connections - its teh connection to the undergarment you need to marry up if you doing long dives (3-4 hours )then bear in mind the standard battery pack wont do so you will need to think about how you are going...

    Equipment Rebreather incident with narration

    i though he processed the situation petty calmly, at no time was he out of control or panicky - trying to work out how serious his issue was - asking dive buddies to check was part of the assessment and trying to understand was his process in HOW to react - it could have been something simple...

    Question Anyone been to the Solomons lately?

    i was there twice this year, last trip was in april - we primarily do wreck dives so if you are into that you wont the disappointed. Cant speak for reef diving as we only did 3-4 reef dives but what we did was beyond my expectation- therse no shore diving per se on the mainland - only realistic...

    CCR Cave - Why take it?

    this doesnt make any sense- i guess they were used to some sort of App to do a BO plan for a vertical ascent and not taken into account the horizontal part as in a cave environment ?

    Cavern To Full Cave Pace

    Theres some further anomalies with the CDAA- eg if you want to go to the Nullarbor plains and dive Olwolgin cave you need 25 post Advanced cert dives before you can ( legitimately) go in. Which indicates that being certified and being capable are different thresholds
