Thats rich coming from a guy who rides motorcycles and in helicopter smaller than my shoe boxes :) Robert, I thought I left my primary with you? Maybe I left it in storage, if you want to use it let me know. I rented gear once....ONCE! (sorry like the movie Johnny Dangerously) I really doubt...

Basically I travel for a living. Unfortunately here in Asia you are only allowed 25 kilos total, so its about half as back home. I already have a nice small wing, I use slip streams (even back home in So Cal drysuit diving in doubles and deco) and use the smallest snap bolts I could get from...

I dive backplate in typical GUE fashion. I also do a lot of travel for work and take my gear along with me. Unfortunately I have a SS backplate with a weighted STA. I was sitting the other day thinking what would make an ultimate travel kit... ok replace SS backplate with Aluminum, get rid...

I am working in Korat for a few months and just found out I have a 5 day weekend next week. I have my dive gear and would love to go diving. I am GUE/ NAUI trained, and looking for a place to go. I hear phi phi is nice but then someone said due to weather its no good right now... can anyone...

wow! You are the kind of guy I would have no problem diving with for a first time! I usually cringe at getting in the water with someone I dont know. But with an outlook like yours, lets go! that said, I always want to improve my trim and buoyancy even though Im pretty happy with it. I...

can you laser engrave a pic of Jessica Alba doing the dolphin kick on my deco bottle?

only issue I had was my first day of check out. I was climbing on the boat and the skipper looks over and sees my backplate "oh crap your one of those DIR @$$holes aint ya?" Uhhh... no sir? other then that the only problem I have is scrambling across the beach wearing double 120s with a slung...

I know Im going to kick myself for getting into this but +/- 5' is a BAD dive. Unless there's major swells, I would be upset if I varied 5'. I believe we were held to 1.5 in fundies... One of my dives for adv nitrox/deco/heliox I varied from my 150' bottom and hit 154... I had a talking to....

6'4 just under 280 I started with atomics splits, they worked fine... for splits. got into doubles and drysuit, the fins are now in storage somewhere... used turtles for a while, yeah at first it feels like having a sheet of plywood on your feet, but you learn to frog kick and its nice. Ive...

if it weren't for the stupid price of international shipping, Id take them!

how much for the 2nd?

Obviously you will be V when at the surface, as soon as I start to descend I flip over to H, and stay there the entire way untill I am on the surface again. That said, over head environments such as Oil Rigs I go V the last few feet making it easier to see if Im going to bonk my noggen. Im...

ok this is weird, I too want another pair of 120s....

I use the smallest bolts I can get, I ordered a bunch from Nix dog collars, they work ok, but the ones I get for 2 to 3 times the price at the dive shop are even smaller. I was taught in my Fundies class years ago that the snap bolt on the back up lights are gate in, and anything else (primary...

a simple bottom timer with average depth

oh, I hope Tevis can just feel the love! I have been warned about my posts regarding him. I have had posts deleted... send me a PM and Ill unload on you with stories about him. PLEASE!

hmm question: your buddy splashed while on the stage not BG? I was thinking, splash, square away, switch and thumbs down...

I was president of the Marine Aquarium Society of Los Angeles, own my own aquarium maintainance company and have a pet puffer...(not to mention I stayed at a specific hotel last night) I do not believe the physical act of inflating with water is stressful, its the stressor that causes the...

playing with a new Hollis scooter at the oil rigs

there ya go, your a new diver, chances are your in a wetsuit, wetsuits compress at depth and that makes the belt go loose. I used to jump in, lay face down in the water and re tighten my belt, then descend, when I get to my depth, get horizontal and double check your belt again. As far as...
