    Stickies

    Hey Tom: Noble thought but I don’t think that you could say much more than what has already been said, especially pertaining to boltsnaps and dry gloves! :D Seriously, if people don’t read the current stickies I doubt they’d read other ones that would also be well thought out and posted...

    10 yr old Wreck Diver

    Yeah, when I heard what I thought was, Good job good job!" near the beginning of the video, I was thinking, "For what?" Being vertical, swimming with hands, or mauling the wreck with his body and danglies. I do not fault DD for showing his kid how to dive. What bothers me is the level that is...

    How much time to wait after doing an air-sport?

    Then how are you going to get back after diving? Or are you going to spend the night at Catalina Island?

    Broken fin strap

    Hey Xaryo: I have a pair of Blades 2 that I used to wear with those straps. After breaking one of the straps buckles from it being clogged with sand and gravel, I switched to spring straps which I made myself. I can post pictures if you're interested and it is simple to do. OR, if you'd...

    Dive report

    Awesome video rjack321. The wilderness shot makes me homesick like crazy but from what I understand last week was a scorcher and there was even humidity! I can't wait for part II of the video.

    A warning about o-ring kits

    I totally forgot about Reef Scuba, but I think that is where the charts originated. Also, you can customize your kits to avoid the exact problem you ran into. I have ordered from Reef Scuba and they were efficient and their prices were awesome too. I ordered some hardware but I have not...

    Cannabis and diving

    Yeah, if you go to WSU you have to love beer. It's the only thing that passes the time, aside form leaving Pullman (but not just to go to Moscow). :rofl3:

    A warning about o-ring kits

    Hi TSandM: Sorry you got what sounds like a bum deal. O-rings it seems is a favorite topic of DIY'ers and those who just want to be prepared. Having a ton of o-rings that no one uses and none that you do need puts you in an odd situation and it seems as there isn't one kit that fits all (but it...

    Doing it Right: The Fundamentals of Better Diving (Paperback)

    These must be the special editions with locks of JJ and DR hair. I think I heard that JJ initialed every page and GI3 offered some saliva for the back cover, increasing the value exponentially! And finally, these are bound in a flat black leather binding. One of a kind; er two of a kind! Get...

    Moving the Suunto SK-7 from a hosed console to wrist

    It all depends on your perspective and how you hold the compass. So, on TerraFirma, we are usually vertical when using a compass. We can hold the compass at gut level and shoot for a general direction or bring the compass to our eye, sight a target, and then obtain an azimuth. Either method will...

    SMB - Lift Bag Choices

    Hello Henrik: I can't find my tape measure but using my metre stick, the float measures 69 inches from end to end; it measures 63 inches long discarding anything not inflated. The diameter is 5 inches but negating the seams it's actually 4 inches. I (purchased it directly from Carter I think...

    SMB - Lift Bag Choices

    Hey RTodd: You might want to check this bag out. :rofl3: Seriously though, you might want to give timlittle a call or PM. He works for Carter bags and sells used bags and SMBs for pretty cheap; he might have something you're looking for. Also, I have a Carter 35 pound Personal Float, 60...

    Diving without a buddy?

    Hi Spanocha: In this instance, I would say that a buddy would be even more beneficial, if to give you feedback on what you are working on. We all think we are doing what we want right until our buddy pipes up and gives us the real scoop on how well we are not! There are those that solo dive...

    Surface markers... innovation !

    For DIR? No. Personally, I don't like gimmicks which this reeks of one. Watch the cheesy video about the product, understand what DIR is about, and then ask, "Is this DIR?" or "Would this be beneficial in DIR diving?" Maybe you asked in the wrong forum. We'll see though. :popcorn:

    C-card and nitrox question

    Depending on the agency, you will probably get a second card. It would be nice to have all on one card but as far as I know, only one agency has it this way and I have not progressed in the hierarchy to see if this holds for additional training. And personally, I'd just carry the Nitrox card...

    Would you rather?

    Alaska all the way. Would you rather be in a Turkish Prison or stranded on a desolate island with no resources?

    Question and Answer (a game) part 2

    Looking over your shoulder nothing! I think she has the lease on your eyes! Do you think there is an age at which marriage is not an option?

    Corrupt-a-Wish

    Granted but in typical fashion, they are securely locked in while you are locked out and thus the only thing you can do is watch over them. I wish Abidon's Avitar was animated.
