In the last couple weeks I saw a blurb about some scuba diving legend's autibiography/biobraphy having recently been published. I remember seeing a blue underwater scene book cover in the blurb's photo. I get these emails from various scuba magazines & groups and I have no idea where I noticed...

If I want to help a relative get certified (PADI is the local option), should I wait to find out the price from her local shop or just get a PADI gift certificate? I can't help but suspect that the local shop might be cheaper, or may include some other kind of options the gift card does not cover.

Tragic diving accident claims underwater photographer Gavin Anderson

A boat with whom we dove exactly 12 mo.s ago posted photos in Facebook the other day. They had 7 oceanic whitetips under the boat at once at Daedalus. Even managed to get a shot with 5 sharks in the same frame. And I'm sittin' at home putting on my snow tires

A fellow recently claimed vast credentials for himself, then told me there is something wrong and unsafe about diving with the venturi off/disabled. I never saw any harm in leaving it off if I found breathing quite easy enough w/o it. Is there any truth to the critic's claims?

This has been asked before, but the last time was 2015 so I wanted to check for recent news. I know there are liveaboards available for diving in Narvik and I have their contact info and website addresses. But looking outside the liveaboard option: TANK FILLS If we were to go to Narvik with...

One old wrist seal "melted" itself onto a SI TECH ring. New seals are installed and ready to go, but how do I get that gooy old residue off the ring? Nail polish remover didn't work. Scraping/rubbing isn't working. In the meantime I seem to be a wetglove diver (ouch).

Asking for a friend who does not speak English. I do not own a rebe, so obviously I'm not qualified for those forums, therefore this question is here, not there. But I think you rebe persons likely follow these general forums, so here goes. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the questions were (1)...

A friend in the dive travel business is with a group of clients on the just-refitted MV Truk Master. Truk Lagoon They sound like very happy campers! I asked for photos to share and have enclosed those I received. "First class service, super nice crew, brand new vessel, great guiding, brand new...

My MetalSub tank light portion wasn't securely fastened to my battery tank. One of the heads collected an impressive amount of corrosion in a single 40 min. dive. I cleaned the corrosion off as best I could and it is charging now. Hopefully it will still seal and work just fine but presumably...

I was reading other news and spotted this. Anther freediver mislabeled (in our opinion anyway). UPDATE: Diver, 15, dies after being pulled from ocean off Boca | www.palmbeachpost.com

What places can you dive in southern Germany and is there much to see there? Esp. the Chiemsee because we've loved visting in that area (above water, for the whole family). How deep is and how "entertaining"? Vis?
