One technique I learned involves cradling the unresponsive divers tank between your knees. Your right hand is over his right shoulder keeping the his reg in his mouth. Your left hand is over the vics left shoulder, inflating his BCD to lift you both off the bottom. Then you control the ascent...

Thanks for the reply. I will need to keep my 2nd LP port for my drysuit. I was wondering if some sort of T-connector existed that would allow for either/and operation.

Hi guys, I completed my Rescue Diver training today - tough but worthwhile. As you may know, it is important to establish buoyancy during a rescue, for both the victim and the rescuer. Also, when recovering an unresponsive diver underwater, one technique taught it to ascend using the victims...

Definitely install it yourself. It is really quite easy.

I am an advocate of returning found gear, especially since someone went to the bother of returning my lost GoPro. However, when I found this at 20ft in the Salt River, I was not sure as to how to even attempt to return it. All I can say is that whoever lost it was probably quite upset. By...

This thread seems to have followed the 1 of 2 paths possible. In this case, the first response goes after the OP, and everyone else jumps in :-) This is a flame free section of the board, so folks could be a bit nicer. In fairness to the OP, he titled his thread as a warning to beginner...

Good on ya! The only people worse than those who keep other peoples wallets are those who think that it is okay for them to take the cash out first as a reward before giving the wallet back! -

Must have been one hell of a big sea lion....:)

If diving with them, keep an eye out behind you! Slow Sharks Sneak Up on Sleeping Seals (and Eat Them)?

Actually, I was stupid and didn't. When it comes to SCUBA, I will err on the side of caution when it comes to Karma, and I would certainly hand anything I found to the captain of the dive boat!

Hi all, I lost my GoPro under water on my last of 6 dives whilst diving in Catalina on the Memorial Day Weekend. I reported the loss to the Captain of the King Neptune and left my details with the shop. Today I received the camera in the post - it had been found by CA Fish and Game while...

Hi all, just want to let everyone know how great this Dive Shop has been to me. I lost my GoPro under water on my last of 6 dives whilst diving in Catalina on the Memorial Day Weekend. I reported the loss to the Captain of the King Neptune and left my details with the shop. Today I received...

Spear gun goes off "accidentally" while being loaded, into a boys head. Spear was sucessfully removed! Full story here: Spear removed from boy's brain - World News, Breaking News - Independent.ie

While diving in Lake Pleasant, AZ this morning, my wifes gear had a minor malfunction that caused me to abort our dive and return to shore. While fixing the issue, some muppet drove into the diving area (there were at least 4 Diver Below Floats) in his boat, and over to his pals who were...

Hi, I have the above BCD - which I love, except for one issue witht he Sure-Lok pockets. They are stitched along the center so that there are 2 narrow channels within the pocket for holding weights. Unfortunately these 2 channels are too narrow to accomodate hard weights bigger than the...

Hi guys, unfortunately (for me!), this is not my camera - mine was lost on May 26th (Memorial Day Weekend). Good karma to you all though!

If you are very concerned, you could drive north on the I15 from SD and get onto I-10 to PHX. It would add an hour to your journey, but you avoid high altitudes.

Hi all, like the title says, I lost this camera diving near Hen Rock. I think I lost it in the sandier shallows (at around 15ft) rather than in the kelp. It has a 16 GB card in it with all the days diving on it, and maybe some from a lake in Phoenix too. If anyone finds it, I will send good...

One of my points was that I'd automatically assumed that (a) price was everything, and that (b) online would be cheaper. Neither is true in this case. ---------- Post added May 15th, 2012 at 06:09 PM ---------- I know...When I first got here I thought how could there be any diving. We...
