I’m looking to attend a dive related conference this year and was looking for any suggestions. I’m looking for something that might address training, education and possibly liability rather than new products. Someone suggested DEMA to me, but ai have been through the previous thread and figured...
I have a Suunto Hel02 where the Boot/Bezel that protects the computer needs to be replaced. I’ve been using the power of Google to find a replacement boot and have found several. The thing that has jumped out at me is that all the replacement boots I have found come with a bungee cord. The...
Folks,
Sorry to dig up this old post, but I have some questions in regard to public safety dive team funding. For a number of years our team has received funding through the Port Security Grant. Some years we make out well while other years we do not. I was wondering if anyone has had...
Several years ago I started sending dive related books to a guy that helps me throughout the year.
The holidays can be rough, so when the in-laws become outlaws a good book can provide a badly needed escape.
My first two years I purchased ShadowDivers and Setting The Hook. Both were enjoyed...
I'd like to get some opinions if possible on whether or not you feel you can identify someone that might make a good diver through an interview process and limited pool work.
I'm in law enforcement and our team does body and evidence recovery, but not rescue. Back when I joined the minimum...
I was recently speaking to someone in reference to upgrading our departments side scan sonar through the Port Security Grant and they mentioned monies being available from a Nuclear Buffer Zone Grant.
I have done some "Googling" in reference to this, but I was wondering if anyone knew of...
I've recently considered purchasing a trimix dive computer. One that I have a question about is the VRx OLED Air / Nitrox / Trimix Dive Computer. I have looked at a couple of websites that list this computer at almost $2000,00 showing current discounts at almost $800.00 off of that price. Why...
Someone local to me is selling a used Dive Rite B'Air wrist computer for a pretty good price. My issue, since the computer is used, is the battery life. I don't want to find out I got this thing for a good deal only to find out it is just 1% from not allowing the computer to enter dive mode...
Crossong the street can be accomplished by two ways (oversimplified). One way is the personal responsibility of looking both ways. The other is to wait for a hand gesture or sound of a whistle from a crossing guard aka DM. However I believe that one should always look both ways when crossing and...
I'm getting in this mighty late, but I read something about her being overweighted. Does anyone know how much weight she had on and whether or not she had an exposure suit on? I also read something about an equipment malfunction. Has the defense ever proven this? What was the depth? There seem...
I currently have a Seaquest Pro QD BC. It has the standard power inflator. I was looking at purchasing an Airsource 3 and was wondering if it will fit on this BC. I was wondering if anyone might suggest an alternative to the Airsource 3 or is this my best bet.
Many thanks!
Just was just wondering what sort of traditions you or your families might have for the Holidays. Maybe something a little different than the norm?
I remember one year on Christmas Eve, We had the tree up and my Parents were about to put me to bed. I asked my Dad about putting out milk...
Rick,
I have not purchased the tank yet and I'd have to say that I am leaning towards Steel. Since I lack experience I know that my ability to ascend at a proper rate will take time to perfect. If I'm going up too fast I know that if I dump air from my bc I have the weight of the Steel...
Recently I have been looking at tanks. Alum vs. Steel. I saw in a catalog that a weighted tank boot can be mounted on an Alum tank to bring it's weight up to or close to a steel tank.
If this sort of weighted tank boot was placed on the tank wouldn't it have a tendancy to keep the diver in...
Rated? Define the term. They will work to any recreational depth. Below that, do you care?
I guess what I was wondering is what is it comparable to? An SP R380 or an R190?
Maybe I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be? I'm assuming that my octo should be at least as good as...
I was looking in a LP catalog and saw two products and was wondering if they were worth their money or not. The Vor Tech and Matrix 2 Headlamps. Both of these items are fairly inexpensive. If I needed some light would either of these do or would I be better off with some other sort of light and...
A few months back I purchased a BC. I got a Seaquest Pro QD. I was making out my Christmas list and thought I'd like to add the Airsource to it. I like the idea of the power inflator and back-up secondary breathing device being together.
My question is what is this "secondary breathing...
Hello folks,
I'm pretty new to all of this. Got certified just over a year ago and got to go diving in Jamaica on my honeymoon. I have lots to learn and ask, but I'll try not to bore all of you with the same old newbie questions.
Merry Christmas!
