Absent a dedicated underwater tool I will use cheap pneumatic chisel guns for one shot jobs, otherwise it is worth buying hydraulic tools made for repeated underwater uses

LOL The “instructor” used to dive with our group.

Quality training does. One need not be a member of an organization to provide quality training.

My dive training consisted of:” do not hold your breath” “when you go down, if your ears hurt, pinch your nose and blow”, when it becomes difficult to breathe come up no faster than your slowest bubble” Some of us predate easily accessible classes and organizations. I bought cards in the late...
