Friend just told me that one of her friends husband and son went diving off Folly beach SC and the son is missing...anyone heard about this?

How do you all think that a pair of DIN Zeagle DSV's would fare for a doubles setup for dives shallower than 200. I already have them and thinking of using them for upcoming tech training.

Any users out there? Is it effective?

Hi all, Here is a question. What size do you think is ideal for a pony bottle to be for teaching in open water (OW, AOW, Specialties), medium depth (80-120) NC Coastal diving and some self reliant quarry dives. I will not be using this bottle for deco, just for the activities listed...

Who wins? I think Zeagle does.

Guys, By some mystery of luck, I happen to have 'banged' the metal cover of the download port on just the right spot and with just enough force to have bent the 12 oclock 'tooth' of the cover for the cable download notch. It is attached to the watch case with some screws, but I don't know...

Guys and Gals, I was planning on starting tech class this month, but due to some extenuating circumstances (new baby) I was unable to join the class now, but will do so at the next go around. I have some credit at the shop I work and was planning on beginning to acquire my gear set up. I...

Experts, I was just watching 60 Minute Sports on Showtime. They had a story about a champion freediver who attempted to reach 800 fsw. He was successful, however, his ascent was fast. He ended up with a pretty severe case of neurological DCS with some bubbles in the brain (or at least...

Hello Suunto folk! I have been diving a Cobra 1 for a couple of years and recently when I powered it up to check a tank, it thought I was at 261 feet! It continued to dive, even after the battery was removed and replaced at the LDS. It was purchased in 2008 I don't remember the exact date, I...

So, I ordered a D6i with the shop I work with. I got a great surprise! The D6i came with the new firmware that allows for 3 gases...Pretty cool! I also didn't know that they all come with a saphire glass now...Hell of a deal for it AND I was able to take advantage of the free transmitter... I...

Hello, A bit of background, I have GERD and allergic rhinitis, and I am ex smoker. On January 2011, I decided I should get a physical since I am getting older and I needed a baseline. Being a DM and working at Duke at the time, I went to Duke Dive Medicine and got the works: bloodwork...

Brand new Large Black Seawing Novas, the new model with the redesigned hinge. I'd rather sell them here than on ebay!170.00. PM me.

One of my staff members heard that his old roommate was airlifted to Duke Hyperbaric yesterday. He hasn't been able to get in touch with him. Has anyone heard of an accident happening off the NC coast?

I want to start off first by saying that the diving in Cancun must be the most UNDERATED diving in the world. I didn’t know what to expect since you hardly ever hear people talking Cancun up. The visibility was 90+ feet, the variety and amount of life was outstanding. Nice drift dives, warm...

200+ hours and 51 tanks later I have completed the classwork, pool work, wokshops and internship for the PADI DM. Application signed and mailed in! WOOT!!

I am hoping that someone who was out at Fantasy Lake NC last Sunday (6/25) may have found and picked up a Suunto Vyper forgetfully abandoned at the shelter north of the beach entry. None the rescue class students I DMC'd for nor the insrtructors picked it up, also, the staff at FL did not see...

A group of friends and I are going to Cancun and staying at the RIU Palace in October. There are 5 divers. Two DM's (I will be finished with my internship by then) 2 AOW's and 1 freshly certfied OW. The outfit at the RIU is Scuba Caribe. Any feedback on them? Should we book with some...

I have a Malibu BC from 2005 that is still in great shape except for the velcro on the left weight pocket. I has begun to fray and the stitching is undoing it-self...how do you recommend I patch that up? A seamstress maybe? Thanks!

Hello SB world! I just got done with my first 2 pools sessions for the DM program. It was fun! I got 3 points on the 400 m swim...very close to 4 points...maybe I will try again later and go for 4. Got the full 5 on the float. We worked on a few demo skills, Mask remove and...
