    Looking for suggestion for divemaster

    I have no idea where you are located, my guess is Kathmandu is probably not it If you are in North America, I would suggest Roatan. I just priced out a stay there and if you're not looking for 4-star accommodations, Native Divers will rent a room for $35 and discount their dives to $35. So...

    Question Is baby shampoo really that bad?

    I'm reasonably certain bad juju would happen if you managed to pour any shampoo on coral. But using a bit to take the film/oil off the inside of a mask that is rised at the surface and remains attached/sealed to your face has any leakage that could effect coral seems highly speculative/horse manure

    Question Is baby shampoo really that bad?

    “Common” knowledge is that the baby shampoo used to defog masks, “eats” the silicone O-rings of cameras when they share a rinse tank Urban myth or truth??

    Kona Side Diving

    Ahh the Dog Beach death march. To the OP, how do you feel about carrying all your gear over a bunch of loose (medium sized) volcanic rocks. Probably only 50 yards, but certainly not a lot of fun

    Resort diving - Bring AL19 tank or AL80 bands?

    The lines go through the fuel line. The knots are just to hold it in place

    Resort diving - Bring AL19 tank or AL80 bands?

    Store what? An 'extra' AL80? As for getting back onto the boat, unclip the slung tank and hand it up

    Resort diving - Bring AL19 tank or AL80 bands?

    Pictures are easier than trying to explain. The top loop goes around the valve at the tank neck, the cam band goes around the tank. Top bolt snap to your left "D" ring, bottom bolt snap to the "D" ring on the waist band. The "handle" is automotive fuel line.

    Dive operator age limits?

    This all is a bit troubling to me. I’m ‘only’ 72, but have begun to see the effects of ageism, fortunately for me, I look younger than my chronological age. I routinely lie on RSTC forms. The dive operators that requested them seem to be OK with the wink-wink-nudge-nudge I don’t look forward to...

    Resort diving - Bring AL19 tank or AL80 bands?

    I've started carrying a harness and an extra cam band. Any tank can be slung that way. I've found taking my backgas down to 1000 psi (or so) before I move to the slung "stage" gives me an extra bit of redundancy. I've never noticed any buoyancy issues, even slinging an AL80

    Question New Ratio ix3m2 dive computer, user reviews?

    No thanks, I'm very happy with my Perdix (that shows SurfGF and seconds) IMHO Ratio shouldn't need encouragement to add those bits. My $300 Deep6 Excursion (backup) does both too

    Question New Ratio ix3m2 dive computer, user reviews?

    This seems an excessively aggressive response to some valid critiques. Do you sell or represent Ratio computers?
