    Empty Tanks???

    You are going to tell me that you have seen thread failure because of lube? After a long lifetime of building and fixing I'm not buying in. I have seen tank thread failure from lack of lube. As well as failure of many other threads from lack of lube.

    Copperhead Bite Me !!!

    I live about as far from Florida as you can get, but here we have bullsnakes and rattlesnakes. The bullsnakes will flatten their heads, coil up, and shake their tails when angry.

One time there was a large group of us dining at a hole in the wall Mexican place. I gave the waitress a...

    I have kerataconus returning almost 40 years after corneal grafts. I have worn RGP's for decades while diving. I seldom lose a lens when they fall into my mask, once I lost one from being blown away in the wind on the boat. I have had my mask come off and flood a few times but I apparently...

    What Are Your "Pro-Tips" for Safety, Redundancy, and Accident Handling
