    The most relaxed deco I ever had

    I was diving a pinnacle and the current was so bad that the rest of the rec divers thumbed the dive and left me on oc and 2 rebreather guys to enjoy the reef for ourselves while they try to find something more.... tourist friendly. The dive was amazing, I even got a shot of a small bluefin...

    Drysuit suitable for under construction

    Would anyone have a dry suit to recommend for underwater construction. I need something close to indestructible as i have to dive around lots of sharp edges and wires. I would prefer trilam for the range of movements but neoprene one is not out of the question. The garbage bag style ones are out...

    3 Reg Failures

    While diving solo on a wreck of the B-17 I had a interesting experience. The wreck is 50 meters of shore in 70 meters of water. I was diving sidemount with 2 bottom gas tanks and 2 deco gases. First a group of 8 divers jumped in, after passing all the stages to them in the water I kitted up...

    Michel N. Maris Shipwreck @ 270 feet

    Here is one of the newest discovered wrecks in the Adriatic. Only found 4 years ago it's been visited by less then 50 people so far. Luckily the location and depth make it impossible for looters to "drop by" so the ship along with all the artefacts is compleatly intact. It's near the volcanic...

    The Dangerous Finned Friends Of The Deep

    Share your stories of dangerous encounters with our finned friends while keeping your tongue firmly in cheek. I'll start it with a few posts removed from a basic scuba thread as off topic. It seemed a shame to just let them poof into the internet abyss. I got attacked by a great white so I...

    Different diving enviorments of the Adriatic Sea

    This is a compilation of best shots from the last 3 years, some of which were a massive pain in the behind (the Zaus faber feeding during the night kept turning straight into the camera or the Lophius budegassa that really loved raising a silt cloud). Enjoy :)

    On Criminally Inept Instructors, or The Successful Application of the Nutcracker Maneuver.

    I will start by saying that I have very little experience DM-ing, only 2 seasons, around 150 dives including open water discovery dives. However, I dive a lot and with a lot of people, and have been for about 10+ years now. In those 10 years I have seen bad divers, stupid divers, and suicidal...
