Hi there. I hope to seek advice from qualified persons regarding a suspected bend. Last week on a LOB trip on 2nd day I began to feel very mild knee pain at the 6m stop. By the time the stop finished the very mild pain had gone. Every day we did 2 dives per day 2 hours run time/dive...

Advice is sought from those who have knowledge on short exposure tolerance to very high PPO2s. The situation that I am seaking advice about is as follows: A rebreather diver at depth has a loss of all on-board oxygen but has access to an off board Oxygen in a stage tank. The stage tank...

Anyone know what can be expected this time of year? Thanks

How weird is this? I buy a MK15.5 and the same week one pops up on ebay selling from my little old landlocked home town! (sinced moved countries) Weird. Anyway it does sound genuine. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=19304&item=7102811640&rd=1 .....am I...

Check these guys out. Quite interesting. http://www.vk4tub.org/tubby/Abyss_Rebreather/Sale_parts/index.htm

I forgot to drain my tanks and flew in a 747 with them checked in with 100bar in them? I'm guessing nothing?? I'm not proposing this is done - I'm just wondering if the safety issue is not so much that the tank could explode - but rather the potential of it becoming a projectile if the...

Ok so my new/old latex neck seal is shot and no way I can get a replacement in time for my dives this weekend so I was planning on getting a local wetsuit manufacturer to knock me up a neoprene neck seal to replace the latex one. Anyone have any advice on if this is even possible? I was...

I have just picked up an old stock BARE twinshell with integrated hood. The neck seal is torn but I was wondering if if that matters with the hood. Is it likely that the hood face seal will provide enough seal - is this ever relied upon or do I need to change the neck seal. Its big and made...

South China Seas Wreck Trip Report (HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales) There were eight divers on the expedition including two English two Americans and four Australians. Two safety divers on board were on permanent standby as well as a lookout in case we needed anything. Two of the team...

Anyone any experinece with these? Good/bad/ugly?

This is something I've been experiencing for quite some time but only recently actually realised/noticed it. I occasionally get very very mild pins and needles in my feet for just one or two mins after getting out of the water after deco dives. Its so slight that I could easily overlook it...

An OC buddy of mine has an interesting reaction after deep helium dives in that he always finds it hard to breathe after the dive for a while. He doesnt have pain - just feels a little like he cannt get enough oxygen. Anyone have experince with this. Could it be the extended time on O2...

Is a dual wing really required? Is it a practical option to overinflate the counterlungs in an emergency at depth to establish bouyancy or is the increase in wob just too high? I am currently using a Diverite dual wing but would like to go back to the buddy wing if its possible. If its an...

Hi guys, I dive with a KM 48 full face mask and am about to fit a combined OC/DSV mouthpiece into it. I am looking for advice on how to rig my unit using this. I do mostly trimix wreck dives with side slung bail out tanks, an 11L with trimix and usually a 5L with Nitrox. Both bail tanks...
