    What did you buy that you absolutely loved?

    My rEvo rebreather :-)

    Canadian divers rescued after stranding - Maine

    That's got to be more than a little embarrassing. The site isn't exactly one of the most difficult in the area.

    Three Gas Computer? DG03 or other?

    If you want a computer that will carry you into trimix (assuming you're not already there), then a Shearwater is the way to go. If you're sticking just to Nitrox, a Galileo will work, but having both, I wouldn't be without my Predator.

    Bering Sea Gold: Under the Ice

    I watched it last night. Great underwater filming... pretty poor safety examples. Reality TV in all of it's glorious fakeness :-)

    DIN v. Yoke! Fight!

    Did the store also sell you a larger diameter low pressure hose so that you could get this higher volume of air to the second stage too? :-)

    Smart Phone App.

    +1 on the Bluefin app - very useful for planning boat dives in the North East.

    cave depths

    Because you still have 20 meters of water above you somewhere in the system. The pressure at a given depth is consistent across that depth as long as there's continuous water to convey the hydrostatic pressure. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

    Do I need a Single Tank Adapter?

    Yes. Otherwise the tank will not be stable. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

    Helmets for scuba diving

    The 'Triple 8 Brainsaver' helmet is ideal. It's pretty much neutral, rigid enough as a light platform and stays firm on the head even at depth.

    Dry Glove Option?

    Same here. They work perfectly on my DUI suit. MaverickNH, if you're in southern NH, try Aquatic Escapes in Londonderry. They store the Diving Concepts gloves.

    Result of discharging a firearm underwater?

    I'm not sure the shell would travel that far, but the bullet might.

    Does anyone wear identification while diving?

    DAN provide tags that could be attached to your BC or equivalent. These have space for contact details.

    Accepting Responsibility for Your Own Safety

    Sorry to cross post, but after Matt's "No one is competent straight out of OW" statement, I had to go dig this up: The right way to get certifiedPeople will tell you that you should get certified in the states through a formal course, then go to the Caribbean. They tell you not to get certified...

    Accepting Responsibility for Your Own Safety

    Call me old fashioned but if a diver has that range of cards, they should be competent and confident in the water and able to dive without a DM. The exception would be if the diver is in a new location and using the DM as a guide, not a crutch. Personally if someone with a rescue card feels...

    Only $10K?? I should have stopped much sooner.

    Which is your Favourite Wreck?

    Chester Poling for warm ups (95 fsw max), U-853 (130 fsw) for end of rec and Quoddy Bay (200fsw) for tech, all in the Mass/RI area.

    Your favorite New England wrecks

    USS Bass and U-853 win for me. The Idene and PT Teti are nice relaxing dives too.

    camera system traveling

    It's been a while since I traveled with my equivalent set up, but I place the housing and ports, arms etc in a large Pelican case that is secured and sent as checked luggage. The camera, lenses and perhaps a strobe travel with me in a LowePro backpack. I normally travel with two cameras so...

    Gas Pressure Indication Redundancy

    Expanding on this logic, I guess you don't dive with any form of SPG, electronic or mechanical. I don't see what's lazy in a quick glance at my wrist mounted pressure reading rather than a glance down at the spg that's clipped off to my chest (Yes, I use both, plus all my stages have small SPGs...
