Posting to a bit of a zombie thread but just came across it and the comments a few up about Blackbeards changing their solo diving policy had me worried. Just sent an email to the office, and they say they still allow solo for divers with the correct certification and all the required redundant...

Not just cabin depressurization you need to worry about. Remember, commercial airliners typically only pressurize their cabins to 6000 - 8000 feet above sea level. We are all trained not to push our NDL limits while diving, since no model can account for all physiological factors at any given...

I've done a few cruises and have booked my own diving and gone with the cruise line, depending on the circumstances. Personally I would find stressing about disembarking and possibly rushing to get to Bahama Divers in time for an 8:30 check in would probably harsh my mellow. Which is never...

How did the trip go? I'm booked on the June 6th sailing and counting the days. Also my 1st liveaboard so would be happy to hear how it went.

I went back through the posts again and I really have not seen the suggestion of a diver carrying redundant dive computers in this thread. Gonna be embarrassing if I missed that twice. Re-reading my own post I see I could have expounded a bit on my first sentence "...one dive computer per...

Don't think I saw this mentioned yet in the thread. But only one dive computer per person? ;-) If your dive computer dies on you mid trip, you will have to spend 24 hours out of the water, and then start diving square profiles with your dive tables. It might even become a safety issue. You...

Ya I seem to tolerate cold fairly well, even for a Canuck. 42 on the bottom of Lake Ontario in my 7mm is fine. Must be the natural insulation. I know a guy here that wears a beanie when he dives down south to keep the jellies off. I'm pretty sure my vanity won't let me do that until I'm...

Sorry for the topic spam. I guess I should have just put it all in one post. Heading to Morehead City but I don't have a dive buddy. Olympus will go ahead and insta buddy me, but I was considering paying for a DM or guide instead. I'm guessing that most people heading out on Olympus'...

Hi folks, Most of my diving is in Lake Ontario wearing a 7mm one piece, hood and gloves. I've bought a 3mm one piece for a Morehead City trip the 1st week of August. Water temp is supposed to be high 70s and low 80s, so I know that temperature wise I won't need a hood and gloves, but was...

Hi folks, Heading to Morehead City for some diving the 1st week of August. Anybody know if there are any poker rooms in a 2 hour or so radius for evening entertainment, or the days we are blown out?

Thanks for the info. Sounds reasonable to me. My LDS tried the reset codes for the device and they would not actually perform the reset. The computer has been sent back. I should follow up on it but not in a rush as I have a vyper. This one just came bundled with a complete setup and is really...

I have a new Genesis Resource Pro and made a few dives over the weekend with it. It worked fine. Now I'm trying to look at its log screen. As per the manual I press the button while it is cycling through dive plans in surface mode. This is supposed to give me the surface alt screen but...
