    Buddies kept grabbing/pulling me to ascend faster than computer said was safe

    I have read this thread with great interest and find myself stunned by some of the stupid comments being made by very experienced divers and well respected members and moderators. 1. In respect to the OP consumption of air during this dive. She clearly says the actions of the other divers...

    About to get a pacemaker, I have been told by may cardiologist that all will be good for my return to the water once the settling in period is done. (So excited no more AF) I am interested in hearing the experiences of other divers with pacemakers, have you had any issues or bad experiences?

    Is Dacor junk??

    WRONG The final word is when it comes to regulators, NO Dacor is not junk! However it is OLD and seeing that the company has been gone for many years it is best that a new diver should buy gear made by a current manufacturer. As for those that think it's junk you need to wake up! There was a...

    Nervous Nellie in the water-- even after a dozen dives

    Your fear is perfectly natural. We are animals that are designed to live in a high visibility air environment. When diving you are always going to feel some level of nervousness underwater, this is normally outweighed by our enjoyment of what we are doing. It is that underlying nervousness that...

    tossed cookies

    Definitely cut out the dairy before dives, if drugs are a little to extreme for you try ginger. Either in capsule form or crystallised ginger taken before going on boats or before diving it is a great natural alternative for nausea control. I have suffered from mild motion sickness all my life...

    Recommendations 1st stage for pony

    The question was more about finding out if there is anything new out there that I didn't know about as all of my gear is older and I have only just picked up the pony second hand. Thanks everybody for the advice. I have decided to stick with the older MR12 I have as I use much newer MR12 DFC...

    Solo diver missing Port Phillip Bay - Victoria

    Andrew Huston was an extremely experienced diver with hundreds if not thousands of dives, any speculation as to what happened is pointless until the coroner determines a cause of death. At this point all that is known is that he was on a solo dive in very shallow water and that his body was...

    Mission 2 gauge consoles

    Is there an add-on compass module available for the current Mission 2 gauge consoles?

    High pressure hose swelling

    Flots is right your hose is trashed, the reason you cannot duplicate the problem is because it has a small leak inside the outer coating and your HP hose has only a very small orifice so it takes a long time for it to start to balloon the casing. If you are determined to test it put it on a tank...
