    Teaser trailer for a cave diving documentary I'm making

    I'm expecting the cave to collapse or some other calamity to happen with the music selection. Lol! A bit dramatic.

    Faber Galvanized LP85 cylinder buoyancy characteristics question

    You don't find Worthington 85's too heavy? I have a set that I use for my trimix tanks and it still feels like I strapped on 100 lbs of lead. If they weren't filled with helium I wouldn't be able to dive them.at all.

    Near blackout during ascending

    I have to take Dramamine nearly every time I dive even if no boats are involved because of this. I don't ever get dizzy but I get the horrible urge to vomit and usually do. Slow acents and good buoyancy control help but once I get close to the surface I feed the fish. I never notice a problem...

    Dive Aruba With Clive Is A Must Do

    I just got back from Aruba. While I was there I did 4 days of diving with Clive at Dive Aruba. If you are an experienced diver and want to hit the spots where most dive boats don't go then Clive is your man. If you aren't that strong of a diver then Clive is not your man. :-) Most of the sites...

    Dive With Clive at Dive Aruba

    Sounds like if the poo does hit the fan you can easily swim to shore and with all the snorkel, sail, and dive boats around somebody should see you and your SMB.

    Dive With Clive at Dive Aruba

    Thanks for all of your feedback. It sounds like Clive is the OP I was looking for. All the dives are drift dives? As long as I don't get washed out to sea all will be great as I most likely will be diving solo if Clive goes back to the boat. :-) Fear of getting lost at sea or being lost by the...

    Dive With Clive at Dive Aruba

    So I found the op I"m going to dive with in Aruba. Dive with Clive. He as a small boat and only takes out a max of 6 divers. Most of his divers are experienced and you aren't forced to buddy up with someone. He gives you at least an hour of bottom time and possibly more if you have the gas...

    Aruba Dive Shop Recommendations??

    Hey all. I am going to be going to Aruba at the end of April and would like to do a couple days of diving. Can anyone recommend a good shop that allows you to dive your tanks? What little info I have been able to find suggests that they only allow 40-45 minutes of bottom time which conveniently...

    Orlando diver lost - Silver Glen Springs Caves, Florida

    I was one of the divers on the dive team. I was with the two original explorers of the cave system so they knew where to look. The cavern area is very small and tight with a lot of nooks and crannies. We looked everywhere that was humanly possible to fit. We even made our way back to the EOL...

    Stream of champagne bubbles from first stage

    Probably the diaphragm. Needs a rebuild. I have the same reg with the same problem.

    Drysuit......sidemount.......mess

    The inherent problem with both the 75 and 100 are those plastic buckles that take up most of the real estate causing everything to be clustered in the chest area. Dive a rig without those stupid plastic buckles and you will be amazed by how much more uncluttered your chest area becomes. I used...

    Is Side Mount the new DIR??? Building resentment towards us as a group...

    I also fell for the modified SMS 100 is the best and only SM rig you will ever need scheme. Never got a chance to try anything else. Part of that was my fault and the other was the instructor who was pushing his gear as the only gear to get. Then when I got the gear set up I was told not to let...

    Kudos to Rob Neto's Dive shop

    It is awesome that there is another place to fill your tanks in the Marianna area. Not only is the fill station self serve like Wayne's awesome set up but the nitrox and oxygen is cheaper than the competing shop. Plus it is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week so you can go on those early morning...
