Jason, let me fill you in on something that may not sit well with your concept of this show. Networks don't want "reality". They want drama! I know because I am currently involved with a show that has been sold to a large network. I'm not at liberty to state the network nor what we are doing...

In Tennessee, "No boat shall come any closer than fifty feet (50') from any divers-down flag and shalltreat the area within two hundred feet (200') of a divers-down flag as a no wake zone.This section shall not apply to a boat used as a diver station, diver support, or diversupply boat...

I spent about $30 for my spider rig. I like it alot. I used to use the copper tubing setup but found it very, very inefficient in its heating. I was burning propane excessively and was causing ash buildup on copper tubing reducing heating capabilities. I switched to the RV heater and have...

I have over 10k hours on my surface-air compressor. Use it up to 8 hours a day for over ten years. Still pumping great. Had to rebuild one time due to a bearing going out.

First of all, if it was me he hauled up, I would have congratulated the old fella for capturing the elusive diverfish. Secondly, I would inform him that the "diverfish" is on the protected species list and that hauling to the surface is punishable by my own law with a minimum punishment of...

Wow, I don't think I have ever seen a hose long enough to do that on a primary. Maybe an octo hose, but how in the world could that happen? Sounds fishy....

I use very small lines that run to my extremities and one that runs to my head. It doesn't take much water to keep you warm unless there are extreme currents. I used 4 vacuum T's that were sold at my local auto parts store to hook all the lines together. Hooked them together with 1/4 inch tubing...

I have been using a hot water system that I was taught to make myself since I was 16 while diving in water from 34-60 degrees. I tried a drysuit one year and had a seal around my neck tear at 50 feet and nearly drown trying to get back to the surface with a suit full of 35 degree water...

Thanks for all your information. I know the surface supplied air situations are different from an OOA situation with SCUBA at deeper depths. I have had the situations where my air was gone instantly several times and have stayed fairly calm. I consider myself very confident with my skills but...

I do have 15,000+ dives at an average of about 8-10 feet deep. Freshwater commercial diver. 6-8 dives per day x 160+ days a year x 18 years. You do the calculations. All these dives were done on surface supplied air. I only have about 30 ocean dives. I tried it out in thirty feet of water...

I should have made it more clear. When my daughter was born I had this dream a couple times. It didn't rattle me any, but I thought what the heck, it cant hurt to have it. I watch my gauges and haven't had any out of air situations due not paying attention to them. I have had a hose seperate...

I recently bit the bullet and purchased a Spare Air 6cfm bottle by submersable systems inc. and was wondering if anyone had any problems with theirs or what their opinions on them are. I have done over 15,000 shallow freshwater dives in the Tennessee River as a commercial diver and would never...

I have watched several of the episodes myself. I am currently in the early stages of production on another diving "reality" show and most crazy stuff is staged. Just being honest with you. I am contractually bound not to discuss the things we do, but I can say we make mountains out of...

Yes, the Goliath Grouper is also called the Jewfish

If the weather is warm, get in the water and put it on. It will go on very, VERY easily. Its what I do in the summer. If it isn't warm or you don't feel comfortable getting in water without it on, fold the torso inside out over the legs of the suit. get your ankles through and pullup to...

This is what happens when you fart in your wetsuit!!!

I love this thread!!!

Try to find demo BC's online if you want a "like new" BCD. I did that and got an Oceanic Probe with AirXS for $260 which was less than half the normal price. It hasn't given me a single issue. I will NEVER buy a used wetsuit. Too many divers "pee" in their wetsuit and I don't wanna be...

I have dove alot solo in fresh water with a leaky regulator due to high currents when I have surface air. That being said, I would not do a dive over 30 feet using tanks with a regulator that is free flowing because of the safety issues with decompression and complete loss of air due to a reg...

I have heard "stories" about small women divers being inhaled by very large Jew fish in Florida so that happening doesn't really suprise me. The fact that she sounds like the a kid telling a "my fish was bigger than your fish" story tells me that she doesn't know a thing about Goliath Groupers...
