    Hydrating effects of different types of drinking water?

    This PPD forum is really weighted down with stickies! Which ones are really sticky-worthy? Which ones can we lose? Which ones are outdated? (And if so, who will volunteer to help update them?) Insights welcome!

    Living and Dying and Diving

    The discussion below was split off from a thread in Accidents and Incidents in response to a diver death. As a generalized discussion, it is not germane to the specific incident in question and therefore now has its own dedicated thread.

    Dangers and options for swim throughs, down currents, and buddy teams/groups

    This topic grew from the discussion of an accident that took place in Cozumel, Mexico. As such, several posts were split and edited to focus each discussion. Some of the links embedded in quoted posts may point back to the original A&I thread. I have placed this split-off thread in Basic Scuba...

    Difficulty in posting a poll

    I've posted polls before and today when I tried to make one, I got the window saying it would take me to the poll-making page, but it just sat there blank forever. So I tried it on two other browsers, getting the same result. The only effect all this had was the posting of three identical...

    Kudos to Phuket scuba divers, dive operators, and resorts!

    In a massive cleanup effort, divers, operators, and resorts collaborated in a world-record event on Phuket today. I wish I could have participated, but I'm on my way to Brazil for a family visit. Nevertheless, I wish to voice my support and pleasure in some way, so KUDOS to all involved!

    Palm Beach County or Keys?

    This debate has been split off a trip report to the Blue Heron Bridge and Boynton area as it discusses the comparisons between Palm Beach County and the Keys rather passionately. Instead of derailing the trip report, we've started a new thread to discuss people's views. Politely, please! The...

    Diver rescued off NC coast

    I noticed this incident mentioned in a different thread and thought I'd post it here. The lesson that the buddy has taken from the incident is that it's worthwhile to have more than one PLB in case one of them fails. Diver Lost & Found out of NRI Thanks PLB - FryingPanTower.Com
