As one of the three, I'm pretty glad myself! (I was the one who would have been taken out by flying debris on the top deck :wink:) I noticed in one of the threads posted by @Rusty Shackleford that @abnfrog was involved in the discussion, so I struggle to believe that this is a matter of...

I hope this is appropriate to share, I figure there may be people on here who want to know. This was from Facebook, a post from HMCS Star / NCSM Star: It is with sadness that we share on Saturday 9 Jan, 2021, Sailor Second Class Umbertomaya Masferrer, ‘Maya’ died in a recreational diving...

I nearly went with the supporter level, since this is USD and $100 USD is like... $1 million CAD... especially with those conversion fees! But thinking of how much time I've spent on this forum and how useful I think it is in general (and how many pointless things I would otherwise spend my...

This actually is a replacement computer for the first one that had a defect... I'm not knocking @Shearwater, they replaced that one without hesitation (it had random lines down the screen). I'm am getting a bit concerned at this point, having had 100% of the Terics I've used turn... creative. I...

January 16, 2020 I apparently made 3 'bounce' dives to deeper than 1000 ft - with no deco. It's on my Teric, so it must've happened... right? And I didn't even get bent! Definitive proof that I now hold the world record for deepest scuba dive in history. Who needs 15 hours deco? Take...

I've made a few inquiries about potentially running one near Tobermory - or at the very least, going there with a bunch of already certified ice divers. Nothing is really figured out yet, though.

I hadn't seen this product before, but a few months ago I (re)made two of my own for about $5 CAD... so, about €1.69 each (at the current exchange rate). That's a pretty impressive markup (885% if my calculation is correct?). I gave my previous one away to someone in Cozumel, to someone...

Just to confirm, you said the third weekend in March - so, March 16/17?

... you're making me regret having already booked that trip, @AdamBluewater ... :(

I'll throw my numbers in here... not overly impressive (and quite probably entirely inaccurate), but why not? Total dives: 144 Max depth: 213' Avg depth: a far-less impressive 21' Average time: 25 minutes Total time: 3620 minutes Max dive time: 127 minutes (though I am skeptical of this) I did...

@Kamaros: I had the exact same thing happen to me... even if the line goes away, it'll be back again later. I sent mine back to Shearwater, they replaced the computer. I'm guessing it's just one of the hazards of a shiny new product!

Yep, that's what I said and how I interpreted the intent of the skill as well. There's no reason it couldn't be done neutrally buoyant and in good trim - I know, because that's how I did it (I clearly wasn't in that video :wink:). No mention was made to using it for failed BCDs either, he...

I did a couple courses with Chatterton back in April / May. The way he taught this was to exhaust air from your BCD into your DSMB at depth but hang onto it. This keeps you neutrally buoyant (assuming you were previously - I suppose you could say it just maintains your buoyancy however it was...

I have to ask @abnfrog : what's an advanced ice course? Also, I'm still tentatively interested in getting that instructor rating through you (finances and timing permitting)... think it would be an option? (Maybe I should send you a message off this thread to discuss?)

Toronto police find body of missing diver in Humber Bay Park West | CBC News The body has been recovered. Not a happy conclusion to the search.

We had one on March 3rd this year (Deep 6 Outfitters live service clinic in the GTA... who's in?), it was pretty fantastic. I'm not instructing with the right agency to be able to offer the clinic myself, but Steve (@abnfrog - see post #141) had mentioned something about being able to run one if...

It was a pleasure meeting you all today! After covering everything from gas blending to military maneuvers to even a bit on regulator maintenance, I think we would be hard pressed to find someone who didn't take a ton from this - an immense thank you to Chris for the day! (But, I'm not going to...

Wow, you guys are fast... so we have a date, a location (also posted on the Deep 6 website)... now just over a week left to wait! ... I'm guessing this means that @cerich will be bringing some equipment? (Good call, @Bierstadt, on reading the course description... I probably should have...

I'm assuming that @cerich will be handling that one... presumably it will be somewhere near Pearson, I think that was decided as the most convenient location for everyone who replied... Also... for old time's sake... the Deep 6 Equipment Service Clinic (March 3, 2018) Toronto Canada attendance...

... why does it feel like not posting an updated list would be just ... wrong? I think I may have developed a minor addiction... So, for the Deep 6 Equipment Service Clinic (March 3, 2018) Toronto Canada, we currently have the following: Signed Up & Paid 1. @freename 2. @Eptel 3. @abnfrog 4...
