    Fire on dive boat Conception in CA

    i was on a LOB several weeks ago. There was a designated night watch on our trip. He was - the 3-4 times I saw him late at night — always on the dive deck doing various things, moving around or chatting with someone. He went to bed abound 8 am, I understood (I was out diving so can’t...

    Fire on dive boat Conception in CA

    Most news reports after first few hours (except those republishing the initial reports) said SOME were in their underwear. (E.g., here, here, and here and many more)

    Fire on dive boat Conception in CA

    Question for the firefighters and related experts. Any thoughts on the accuracy of claims made in the "Toxic Hot Seat" documentary (which questioned both the efficacy of the retardants themselves and the relative benefits/risks, given their high toxicity).

    Any advice on needed/not needed accessories?

    I've just completed my 54th dive so am still a newbie all things considered. With that disclaimer, I agree with what others have said that likely you don't NEED to buy anything else. To the extent that you want to, then I think the priority would be - wet suit - dive watch - safety sausage -...

    Divemaster liability

    You are correct that this is a case involving a "scuba situation." However, just for clarification .... the referenced case is Huverserian v. Catalina Scuba Luv, Inc., 184 Cal.App.4th 1462, 110 Cal.Rptr.3d 112 (Cal. Ct. App. 2010). The issue in Huverserian was simply whether a release signed...
