    How many would consider using a tether when diving with a loved one?

    Ken- Where do you dive that had less than 3ft ( arms length) viz on the regular? Is it enjoyable? I did a bad shore dive the other day and had maybe 6 feet of viz, not the best but I was happy to be In the water. Normally South Florida has great viz, so I'm sure you're not talking here...

    How many consider entry and exit of a shore dive a skill?

    I'd be a liar If I said I was never dumped onto the shore at the end of a dive. I tumbled all over the place, it sucked but I made it out okay.

    Not diving to greater than 30m/100ft unless with helium

    I've noticed this myself. The calmer I am, and the slower I move ( Thus lower CO2 levels) the more focused and less pronounced the effects of narcosis are. I will say that the first time I dive a location I feel the need to bring task loading to a minimum, (no camera or just a gopro mask ) and...

    Fins and manoeuvrability

    Gotcha didn't see the post. Wasn't accusing you of anything. And to be honest, I know my 10k bike is stamped out at a factory for a fraction of the cost. (I own a company that gets everything made over seas, you'd be surprised with what you can get made for limited runs) I'm sure they are...

    Fins and manoeuvrability

    As a racing mountain biker, a sub 1k bike should be given to your children or spent on a used road bike or a fixie / beach cruiser for your lady friend. As a guy who owns a 10k full carbon bike, well 2 of them road and mtb I'll admit the diminishing marginal utility comes in quick after 3-4k...

    Buy Once, Cry Once DIR rig for recreational diving

    Just looked at DUI msrp of the above mentioned models. Looks like my kidney is for sale, any takers? On the real though, I picked up a DSS rig and its amazing, but the cost of a dry suit is unreal. Also, what kinda double setup does everyone run? I'm guessing I actually have to buy those too...

    Buy Once, Cry Once DIR rig for recreational diving

    You know, I assumed the harness had a solid back-plate built into it like an infinity setup would have. I see now what you're referring to. Do you recommend any systems that are GUE / UTD that don't break the bank like the halcyon infinity.

    Solo dive - true confessions

    At that point you probably didn't need a buddy, you just needed to stand up if you ran out of air. I'm not against the whole buddy system, but for low risk events, I don't see whats too bad. I will say that I have gone on a boat where all the other people were teaching classes, and I was by...
