    Scuba diver dies after being found floating at Kurnell, NSW, Australia

    Please don't take this as an attack on the buddies, it's not. I'm currently reading the GUE "Beginning With the End in Mind - the Fundamentals of Recreational Diving" book and this passage is staying in my mind after this tragic incident. And it makes me wonder, from the reports, divers 1 to...

    Night dives = AOW?

    I think the Night dive requiring AOW, like all the other dive situations where n Dive Op requires AOW, while not necessarily directly correlating with the training received, it's a line in the sand they can choose to use as a guide for the divers level of training, ability, in water comfort etc...

    Hosed or Hoseless, computer questions

    I'm not a tech diver yet, but i think i can sum up what responses you'll get. Wireless transmitters arent looked on favorably, primarily as they are considered a failure point. Use a Brass & Glass SPG clipped off to your waste. Computer, get a Shearwater Petrel Beaverdiver will suggest a...

    Groups

    I wasn't a user of the Groups feature, nor did i participate in the HCT thread, but the removal of both of these should have been handled better and would have caused far less drama. If the removal of the Groups feature was indeed intentional, surely a warning to those using it, locking it so...

    Shark on buffet table -Iberostar Resort - DESPICABLE

    Why is this "absolutely shameful and disgraceful"? The diners are apparently eating the shark, it's far better than catching a shark for it's fins. I don't see how this is different to say, eating a beef steak.

    Does Hollis have a presence on this forum

    Some spam algorithms are better than others, there's no way to automate the removal of ALL spam emails without removing some legitimate emails, so it's a balancing act, hence the common usage of 'Junk' email folders. No Email server administrator wants to be accountable for that really important...

    24 hour response time in emails is quite acceptable. Anyone expecting an immediate response to a question needs to use an alternative method of contact. As for the forums, if a company chooses to have a a presence on a forum (and lets face it, they will only do so on the large customer based...

    GUE Fundies class report, days 1 and 2

    You have to remember that streamlining is only one of the goals of the DIR/GUE configuration, and its very likely if anyone is already diving in a minimalist configuration your profile wont change much. "Based on the concept of minimalism and streamlining, the GUE diving system is a...

    Cheers guys. 2nd question. The seller has listed this as a size L, and every other dimension bar the height looks right for me per the DUI size chart , however the seller has said they are the same height as me (I didn't prompt them with my height). I'm 6'1 (73) where as the size chart states...

    Lavacore pro's/con's

    I'm 6ft/186cm and a little heavier than I'd like, but the XL long sleeve top and socks have been great, nice fit, a little snug around the under arms, but you've got to expect that a little with it being designed to wear under wetsuits. It's kept me nice and warm in the water under a 7mm wetsuit.

    I bought a XL long sleeve top a few weeks ago, and the fit is spot on.
