    Strobes: How do you utilize them?

    Strobes have come a long way with LED's. Not are they only more reliable they have multiple modes. When attached to the diver I can see my buddy blinking long after the halo of the primary has faded out because it's pointed in the wrong direction. I can see it around corners as well. Haven't...

    Reeling off wreck (ascent)

    I'm gathering input on this as I've haven't done it yet. For whatever reason you can't make it back to assent line and a free assent / floating away for a few hours is a no go. Maybe the current picked way up on a hot drop? So you tie in to the wreck then ascend on your own line. So what are...

    I think MultiDeco and Trimix Tools are video games.

    I plan my dives correctly. However I end up spending hours gaming dives and mixes like a game! It's fun who else does it! IE: Okay I got 25/25 travel gas, but only 2100 PSI so put some air in, grab my 40 of O2................... Come on, admit it.

    Sanity check on a set of OMS LP131 doubles

    Moved to warm water from cold water and my double 100's are way top heavy and routinely get under filled. Found a set of OMS LP131, huge tanks but my deco dives are edging up slowly and I can get an honest fill. They look heavy out of the water but seem pretty decent in the water. I'm 6'1 230...

    Keys: How to avoid spring break

    What is the best window of time to avoid being in Key Largo and the surrounding area for spring break. Headed down for some training and a long stay and really have no desire to be around idiots. I guess I should have asked if it is really all that bad first. Thanks

    Booster: Drive gas quality.

    Why do I keep hearing folks recommend that drive gas be super clean and oil free and water free? I've heard people say only use oil less compressors and drying systems. Drive gas and driven gas, the two shall never meet right? So what if the drive side sees a little oil or moisture? The exhaust...

    Have you added additional cooling?

    Have you gone to great lengths to cool your machine? Certain climates, duty cycles and quest for longevity seemingly would demand additional cooling efforts. More air flow? Chilled room? Water cooling? Oil cooler? How did it work out?

    Help me move to South Florida.

    I cut my teeth in cold water diving here in Monterey California and I love it. However the dive culture runs heavy in Florida and I need more. Wrecks and Tech are great and cruising reefs works too. Where should I live? I would like to buy a house somewhere north or south of Miami. FLL to...

    Variable speed and/or under driving a compressor.

    Is anyone using a variable speed drive on their compressor? What are your reasons? 1p to 3ph conversion? Power conservation? Less heat and load on parts? Noise? ?Other? Or maybe a constant current setup where it can haul when the pressure is low and as it builds higher slows the down as...
