    Dangerous psychology- Diving beyond one's training

    I agree with you DA Aquamaster. I am an AOW but have a few hundred dives and keep company with professionals, and ask when I do not fully realize or understand a concept. Even when the vis is terrible, I practice my Nav and other crafts a good diver needs and should do instead of seeing the...

    Some thoughts on Hydroglove suits.

    I got my Hydroglove a few weeks back. I tried it at first in a pool unheated. Using a pony tank I was able to stay down easily. I practiced adding air thru the mask and hood, that was easy too. While hovering a foot off the bottom, I tried bleeding the air thru the sleeve. That took a little...

    BLADEFISH Sea Jets - A Completely Different Approach

    shock cord fin straps

    Somebody gave me a pair of black Beauchat fins. One of the pins for the straps came out underwater so I had to come up with a plan to continue. At the time I was suffering from a real bad case of "Moron-itis" and did not pack an extra pair as we had gone to Catalina. Anyway, I always carry 1/4"...

    I got my C-card last year and due to family events and occurences, could not go out but a couple of times. So I started to hang out with the Dive Instructor of the School I learned at and just offered to tag along so I can log dives and improve my buoyancy. I had been going out every...
