    The Underwater Bike....

    First, does it come lubed for comfort? Watching the video, they are burning air to make that thing move. To ride it you need to have your feet in some type of stirrup and what do you do on the surface? Your feet are attached. This contraption is going to cost about the same as a battery...

    Things you've found under water

    I know someone (who is on SB) that did a solo knight dive and had anchored his flag off shore and forgot to retrieve it at the end of the dive... The next morning the Fire department was out looking for him. He was too embarrassed to call and claim it.

    Being Rich is more fun if there is money involved…😟

    Boy did you come to the wrong place….* *This page 39 of a discussion about one incident and the video. Would you like a straw to go with your horse juice?

    Regardless of whether you like Dive Talk or not, this is a conversation that should be had. DAN procedures can be improved and diver expectations of what they can expect can be tempered.

    Timing of Dives

    Four dives in a day is quite a bit of diving and you will want a decent surface interval between the two deep dives. Three dive in a day and an option on night dive would be what I would do. Nitrox will be good for the shallow dives. If you are in good shape I think it will be fine, but if...

    DIY Mailbox

    The hinge is on the bottom and standard mailbox clasp at the top. I am not sure I would do it the same way again. The hatch is very heavy and held closed by the clasp, friction with the boot and six counter sunk Neodymium magnets. I won’t be surprised if I have to go out and fix it periodically.

    Cape Cod... too dangerous or okay?

    That is true. I still have a coffee can of powder out in my shed... I don't remember if you were in any of my other videos, beside this one from 2017

    Recommend me a trip as a new diver

    I have done Bonaire and and Florida. Bonaire is better diving and the total cost of the trip was less than a trip to Florida when you factor in everything.

    Recommend me a trip as a new diver

    Bonaire has some resort packages and the diving is pretty easy. I would stick with a resort to start. If you have problems with gear or get frustrated, or whatever, you are on a nice tropical island with fun stuff to do. A live aboard is going to trap a bunch of more experienced divers with a...

    Question Why can I find only one very large (30l) air tank?

    Hold it, I didn't get this on the first read through... You want it just for playing around in the pool? There no skills that you could practice that would require that much pool time. I thought you had some purposeful use for the dive like clean a hull or something. Just swim laps.

    Question Why can I find only one very large (30l) air tank?

    If you are making multiple short dives, using a couple of bigger tanks on a series of dives makes more sense. If you are making dives to ten feet for ten minutes, just use an AL80 four times rather than a 5L pony once. a 30L tank won't fill a 5L cylinder six times. I think you are making the...

    What's the craziest thing you ever found?

    I did find a $50 bill in Florida.

    What's the craziest thing you ever found?

    32 lbs is pretty close to what a lot of BCD can lift. Add full tank... I could see someone moderately overweighted in a 7mm wetsuit getting to the bottom and realizing they don't have enough lift to get off the bottom. My 120 is 9 lbs negative when full. Better to find the belt on the...

    What's the craziest thing you ever found?

    I found two spear guns. one was eventually reconnected with the owner the other I sold to a friend for $175. 32 lb is a lot of lead. Was that pretty cold water? That sounds like dry suit kind of numbers.

    Question Why can I find only one very large (30l) air tank?

    It seems to be that the best solution would be to invest in a compressor and just top off tanks as needed and dragging around a bank tank of air seems like a PIA. Also, you aren't going to get full use out of the tank. Once tank's pressure gets down to around the working pressure of the tanks...

    What's the craziest thing you ever found?

    I've heard that one more than a couple of times. People doing clean ups come across them pretty often. I bet if you google ashes and scuba you'll find divers hauling up a bunch...
