I have recently started doing inversions with gravity boots as part of my workout regime. I really like it, and have found it to be very beneficial. I have been told that it is medically not advisable and can pose an increased threat of stroke due to increased blood pressure in the brain. I was...

Where is a good place in Singapore to buy Tech diving accessories ? Thank you

I was just going through Mark Longstreath's latest compilation of diving deaths and fatalities, and the one thing that stood out was the startlingly high percentage of fatalities were working divers on SCUBA. The few fatalities in Saturation were mostly victims of vessels sinking or other...

I am posting this link here, and not in the Commercial Divers forum, because I think in light of the incident with the severed umbilical, more people may be interested in seeing this. Moderators may move it if they wish. This is from a Comex training video, but involves a famous incident of a...

I have received a presentation from Technip about the rebreather that is being talked about and being developed by them for Sat Divers as a replacement for bailout bottles. I had mentioned this on the thread about the accident on the Bibby Topaz, and there was interest amongst many to hear more...

A new type of lift bag is being tested in Aberdeen right now. It is surface supplied gel filled. This is one of the most exciting new developments in the salvage world in a while. The gel is incompressible, so you can maintain a completely even lift from depth, maintaining the same ascent rate...

Just heard through the circuit that a very experienced commercial diver in India was killed whilst diving surface supplied. The information had right now is that there was a mishap with crane positioning whilst he was underwater in zero viz. Apparently they jumped the standby diver who found...

A question popped into my head while I was thinking of all the crazy things some newly certified and hopelessly under qualified divers do underwater. What is an instructors liability once he has certified a diver ? Is he/she responsible if one of these people hurts/kills themselves whilst...

Hello, I am from India and I will find myself in LA (Burbank) for a week. Is there a store where I can try on and buy Force Fins ? Thank you

Hi guys, I will be in LA along with 6 other colleagues of mine for work, but we have the weekend of January 28th and 29th free. We would love to do a dive (or 2). What would you recommend ? All 6 of us are commercial divers with a minimum of 15 years experience, but 2 of the 6 are not used to...

Into The Lions Mouth : The Story of The Wildrake Diving Accident A book that I think every diver should read .... I could not put it down, start to finish. It is about an incident everyone in oilfield diving knew about, and now we can read about it. These incidents are not in the past as we know...
