You can use talcum powder, not to be confused with baby powder, as that will eat the seals. You can also use a small amount of beeswax, which is used on dry suit zippers routinely.

Doesn't really matter how good his skill level is if he doesn't have any trim. Perhaps I missed it, I didn't see that he had poor skills.

How much lead do you plan on diving with? Nonetheless, you might want to consider some ankle weights.

Great topic and lots of great finds with the posts here. As for myself, I guess the most interesting find is when I was the XO on a NOAA ship doing debris clean up at the Pearl & Hermes Atoll in the North Western Hawaiian Islands when we found a Tomahawk cruise missile with parachute in less...

What makes you think we can't be critical of our ranks? That is a misconception.

The San Marcos river is about as clear as it gets in your area. Check out Welcome to the Dive Shop in San Marcos, Texas! as they should know about everything in the area. Also check out What Will I See at the Flower Garden Banks? | Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary for this...

I think I would splash it in a pool or confined water first. Consider using some ankle weights for more control. This will at least give you an idea on what to expect. Good luck.

Hello, be that as it may, that was a general expression. Thus, "pretty much". I wasn't trying to nitpick any particular course or agency.

That depends on how good the instructor is, pretty much.

I couldn't find anything about PADI being named and sued as such. And it wasn't "many millions of dollars, it was $1.68 million. Good story, but a little more accrete information would have been better. Perhaps you could post the case # or transcript.

The knob gets bent because the second stage gets dropped or bumped hard enough to bend it. Seen this happen a lot of times when gearing up at the dock or when a rig is passed to someone on a boat and the second stage is swinging around. Easiest way to protect the knob is to slide a piece of...

That's pretty interesting, my very first set of tanks was a set of those. Factory Hydro was 1967, but mine had the duel bands with D-rings straps as that was the way they first hit the market. A few people said to get rid of the Valve!? I can't think of a reason why. It can still be rebuilt...

What ever you get it would be more if you cleaned it up a little better. Wash all of it in warm water using Woolite. Then after it dries soak over-night all the suits in a good fabric softener use warm water also. After the regs have been washed and are dry use 3M 303 Aerospace protectant on...

Hi Scuba John, I had several students (Marines) that were in my scuba classes, but over a short period of time several of them started showing up with a perforated eardrum. We had a surgeon on base that was a diving doctor and each marine had to see him. Some because of infection received...

My thought exactly!

I wouldn't call it Free of Charge exactly but in NAUI if you do the Life Time Membership and if you do it early on it all comes out in the wash. I paid around $1000 in 1990 with the annual fee being about $60 at the time. Well, the fee now is something like $185. Sorry about being a little...

I just saw it today, I don't think they know what to call it NAUI Community or NAUI Forum.
