Oh yea i was just saying it doesn't matter seeing as he was actually anchored to the hazard marker... but in another situation i'm not sure what law states. It would make sense to apply to anybody as it is just a warning

Le Cun told CNN affiliate WPTV that he and a friend saw the yellow buoy that day and large submerged silhouettes underneath. They decided to see what was down there."I am 100% positive that there were no signs on the buoy," he said. "I know that because my boat was tied to that buoy." He...

Nobody said anything about a barrier... the statement reads "The diver intentionally swam into one of the intake pipes after bypassing a piece of equipment to minimize the entry of objects". My description of the velocity caps should illustrates exactly what the diver would have to do to get...

nah... more like sticking your head over the wall because you wanted to see what was there... and the dog grabbing you and pulling you over... yea that more accurately describes what you would have to do to get sucked into the intake

From what i read the water going into these intakes at this point are gravity assisted so no impeller at the end (this comes later down in the structure after filters, grates etc). Also there is something called a velocity cap on top of the intake which reduces the water velocity (by pulling...

No tripod... but why would you want to use a tripod?

The biggest lesson for me when i posted this before... is take your time... to much power or speed and you end up tilting one way or the other. Practice on the surface (it seems silly but it works). It does take a lot of practice to perfect (as with most things), so just keep practicing on...

If you want both nightlife and diving you will have to stay in the Crown Point area (close to the airport)... you can have both there. I would recommend www.underseatobago.com as a LDS (website is giving some issue right now if it's not back up soon i can send you some additional details). You...

This is what i've been told by a few instructors who teach both: 1. Padi materials are easier to understand and seems to be their strong point 2. It really does depend on the instructor because the certs themselves mean nothing, a good instructor would help you to get where you need to be. For...

1. Is safety a big concern to you when you go diving? Yes 2. Do you take care of your own safety or do you rely on others to guide you? Rely on self 3. Have you ever thought about how you could make yourself safer when going diving? Yes 4. If a new technology was available that could make...

You missed the edit? I sure as hell know learning how to use a table didn't teach me anything I wouldn't learn while learning to use a computer (as it relates to deco and limits of course) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The NDLs for first dive are available on your computer... The pressure groups are used as a way of referencing where to start for a repetitive dive So tell me... what value would I gain from learning to use the table (aside from the fact that if I'm in a location and my computer fails I can...

But would you agree that one doesn't need to learn how to use tables or even know what a table is to have a sound feeling of limits etc... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

not to mention... why in the world would i want to do such an average when my computer can give me a more accurate figure? Why in the world would i want to manually add a bunch of numbers and divide by the number of numbers to find the average when i can just use the avg function in excel? (as...

regardless... what that means is... there are no scuba police. As netdoc hinted, everybody is quick to sue a shop if an accident happens so the shops must cover themselves as much as possible. Locally our shops require cards to go diving but they do not require AOW for diving below 60' or drift...

I have an Abyss 22 (not navy), works great, no issues. The only substantial difference i know of between the Navy and 22 is that the navy has a cold water kit for extreme temps. Personally I find the price in that link to be really expensive, in addition if you have any inclination of servicing...

I switched back from braided to rubber because i had an issue where one of fairly new hoses leaked in the middle and a visual inspection showed nothing... this was a 7' hose. My biggest issue other than that was the fact that the hose takes the shape of however it was stored, which is a problem...

I'm more inclined to believe that those students shouldn't have been certified in the first place... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Umm... Aren't you still whipping out your table to calculate your max depth? If you forget your precious table home, what then? You still need to whip out something unless you are able to calculate ndls in your head (which you can't) but you may memorize ndls for dives you commonly do... Which...
