You can be sued at any time by almost anybody. I was sued for stopping and providing assistance at a car accident. I was commended by the paramedics and CHP at the scene. But the injured party sued. Never found out what their theory of the accident was. The case was tossed out of court, by the...

for most of my diving (local or socal) i dive a single vytec and a SPG. Even though have a pressure transmitter on m tank, i check it against the SPG at the start of the dive and if i get low on air. my SO uses my second vytec. I use to take it when i went away or on a live aboard. now, with...

Once, on a late summer nite in Monterey there was a new student doing his advance open water night dive. He had been diving with a group of 4 for two days, using a combination of rented and his own gear. They were all doing AOW from the same shop, and had known each other for about 2 weeks. He...

well -- another reazon to carry a big f****** knife. My little 2 inch blunt would not do it for this knda task. got to go find a 10 incher with a point and REALLY sharp...:confused4:

well at first glance, i notice that 86 (or 086) is not a seconds value. BUT the value 86 and 086. interpreted as a decimal value are miles apart, and because of map datum. From Irish Wrecks On-Line - Folia SS (No. 397) i get three bits of info... Latitude (GPS): 51 52.86 North Longitude...

Normally the datum used for a map is printed some where on the map normally in the legend area, or sometimes in a separate publication as an overview guide. a common datum for irish maps (based on 'ordinance surveys') is Ireland 69 or Ireland 95. Ireland 95 is sometimes called OSi, OSNI, or...

Sounds like a great idea. I'll try it on my next kayak dive..

I have a couple of each, and s pair of kayaks, a sit-on-top and a sit-in. the kayak wetsuits are thinner and more flexible. they are looser on the upper body. One is a farmer john type suit -- no sleeves. I wear a thermal shirt under it (or sometimes a neoprene one). the thermal shirt is from...

if you want a serious one person raft, try these One Man Life Raft - Sporty's Pilot Shop

audio is a sound wave, radio is 'electro magnetic' wave a totally different phenomena. both are waves and measured in hertz, but what's 'waving' differs. Ocean waves can be measured in hertz but have a very low frequency. an ocean wave with a 15 sec wavelength is about 0.06 hertz. I can't...

supposedly the bottom LP port has about 25% greater flow than the side ports. I have hooked 2nd stages to both and never been able to tell the difference. with my second connected to the side port, i have been able to suck down as much air as i could, without there being a problem. That said...

another (oddball) data point I live in a house in western san francisco, and have a furnace that was locally built in 1938... Its a gravity heat system (no fan) and gets serviced every 10 years whether it needs it or not. My gas bills (for furnace and water heater) are about the same as my...

Only dive if you have a working computer or watch, depth gauge, SPG, and tables (and know how to use them). Actually with a working air integrated computer, i always have an SPG, and watch on me anyway. if the computer dies, i abort the dive. period. After the abort any additional dives must...

Spare air is perfect for any dive emergencies that happen at the surface. Many helicopter crews cary them to help get out of the craft in case of an emergency ditching in water. They are great for getting out of you car that has sunk in a river...

contact otter bay wetsuits in monterey. they make a great coldwater hood custom for you at a reasonable price. lots of the locals have and like them

There are as many ways as you can imagine. On the front clipped to d-rings (stage bottle style), clipped to your back plate, attached to your tank (pony tamer style, though there are several different makers of stuff for this), in a bag attached to your harness somewhere, on your belt, etc...

They use double hose regs, check to see how often the exaust hose is cut too.

There was an airborne ocean floor mapping project a few yeras ago which mapped a few areas. they used a pair of lasers at different frequencies to map shallow waters. The differing frequencies allowd them to measure depths through tens of feet of water (to a max of just over 100 or so depending...

I called Any Water and they refused to confirm or deny this 'rumor' saying there was nothing appropriate to comment on. I asked that they post here (they are familiar with scubaboard) as soon as there was something to comment on.

I think this is a great idea. we should convince somebody that they are aphrodisiacs, some group with a propensity to want that kind of thing, and they will be gone in no time. maybe we can get people to stop finning sharks, and start collecting lion fish!
