Google translate back to english from the link provided The recovery operations: the body of Perniciano (right), waiting for that of Bianchelli reported on the surface The lifeless bodies of Stefano Bianchelli and Mario Perniciano were found, the divers that disappeared on Sunday in the sea...

It's a 25+ year old model and those lead acid batts can barely do a single dive. You are right that they are cheap at $900 used or lower. The parts are really getting hard to find prices are insane like $60 for a cover Oring. The aggravation with how often they break isn't worth the downtime...

Hopefully no damaged electrical components. We do some steep dives with plenty of action. But I hate having it in the back of my mind after a fix/repair. I just want my stuff to work all the time, every time and I'll pay anything to trust 100% my equipment. Hope you find the leaker.

Western Dry Rocks can be shallow in it's seasonal special closed area, but then gets deep to 3 digits pretty quick. Lately some are reporting wahoo are showing up with the annual temperature increase they are seeing. Very sorry to hear a fellow spearo/diver passed.

Alot of spearo's also use a very cheap foam foot sandal (aka flip-flop) and cut 1/3 off plus the straps and glue it to the inside of your wetsuit. Works very well.

Dive Tanks............. I'm guessing the resort has & you were using AL80 (11ltr) ? Were steel tanks available? What was your normal starting PSI & did you have any low fills? Any wide variances in nitrox mix from day to day. Great writeup and future resource for helping divers decide on trip...

Today we were doing gear testing on BC's. Testing is broken down into several areas with the digital portion done in a lab for items like lift capacity numbers, specs, suitcase travel weight, size, etc. Us test divers look at a different set of items that relate to how each of us dive. And the...

Peer Reviewed - Hey Bob, how do you spell that silver fish's name again?

W O W !! Look at those beautiful flat seas in the middle of the ocean. Stop the boat..We want to go swimming !!

For my 75th birthday, I think I'm going to get a tattoo on the inside of my wrist that says my name and " If found call xxx-xxx-xxxx" . Hell we'll all be micro chipped like pets by then lol!

A rare spotting indeed......me with a camera....yelling cuss words underwater cause my picts are all dark from not adjusting my ISO back up to 200. That solved the problem real quick. Those were some great Boynton dives and ALOT of fun !!

Might consider Pattaya Dive Centre One of the biggest IDC's In Thailand. https://www.divecentrepattaya.com

Since it will be empty upon arrival,,,how do you plan to fill it and will the " filler " require a VIP charge? I'll avoid the whole size question, but just relate about my fill logistics. I dive with a 6cuft pony with a short 8 inch LP hose & button gauge and I do travel with it in a suitcase...

You just finished up rehab for the shoulder, What house chore snapped you ? Nice video and clear viz. Let us know how the trans-atlantic video's turn out!!

Good luck getting a scuba shop to agree to fill that to it's working pressure of 4500psi, because they won't.

In WPB/JUP for April, the underwater grocery store is basically closed so It's maintenance month. I finished refurbishing most all my gear's annual reg/Inflator/harness/gun/looper/polespear/VHF/etc and just 2 LP108's from the tank farm left to redo. Time to dive with my other " Point & Shoot '...

I was there in June 2023. Was scheduled to go with PV Ocean tours, but high waves and zero'd viz canceled the 2 days I was to go out. Otherwise was looking forward to the usual critters and 30ft of viz. I stayed at the north end and Uber's were very cheap and fast. Parking is non-existent...

Love Octo's and marked your note on my annual calendar. Your great picts suggest the octo's are out in the open and easy to spot. Any guess's why so many around? (chg water temp, salinity, lol>eclipse) I always learn ALOT from your dive reports, Thank you!!

Three of my B2's also. I did the red dot stuff and got yelled at by my tech........who then proceeded to put a blue dot on it after it came loose upon paying the invoice for service.

Just 1 opinion from doing a summer trip to GoPo and others will have input. It's the big animals that get all the excitement and most of the time they are 15ft or more away from the divers. That puts them pretty far outside the range of small economical strobe flash distance. And then like you...
