Tl;Dr: can these tanks accept scuba valves? Today was a day off and my plan was to go to the gym with my kids and then help my wife clean the house. This time of year is for my family, though I will admit to being up at 3 and doing end of year paperwork. :) My youngest and I picked up my...

I have too many AL80s and but enough 63s. Looking to trade, one for one, quid pro quo. If you have a couple ping me?

I've recently developed hypoglycemia, and I've been very disciplined about what I eat before going into an overhead, I'd like to find some things to carry with me for contingencies. I can't risk having a drop in blood sugar when I don't have immediate access to the surface. The way I handle it...

This website references a survey of Rock Lake in 2002. Does anyone have, or know where I could get a copy of it? "According to a survey done in 2002 by Tom Taylor and Vince Vekan of the National Speleological Society Cave Diving Section, the lake measures 290 feet (88 m.) deep at the north end...

A technical diving instructor has been sentenced to 50 hours’ unpaid work after a Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigation found he was responsible for ‘multiple failings’ leading to his student’s death during a training dive at Stoney Cove in Leicester, UK, in 2018.

I have a customer who is looking for a wing that has a right shoulder dump valve, ala the Hollis sms75, for a BP/W that he dives... I know someone used to make one (OMS?) but I can't seem to find anything to point him to. All help is appreciated and for all of you who are going to tell me how...

I was thinking about rock-bottom gas calculations, and the one sticking point that I've run into is the arbitrary "oh crap" factor that goes into the calculation. What I'm calling the "oh crap" factor is the factor by which RMV is multiplied to account for increased breathing in an emergency...

I have a USIA trilam suit, and the suspenders have come unglued from the suit itself. What's the best glue to use to reattach them? Dry suit glue?

Locking posts after some time would keep the classified section more relevant. Newer ads would get more traction. Older posts would avoid being recycled by users asking if the item was still available. My thought is that after 30 days of inactivity, or 90 days after the post is made, the thread...

I had Roux-en-Y performed just over 3 weeks ago, and pre-surgery I asked my surgeon about diving. He said he didn't know much about the topic, but to wait a month before getting back in the water. My understanding is the principle concern post-surgery is gastric barotrauma, but I can't find...

Since the update, it appears that DMs are showing up as scuba instructors. I'd suggest that it would be useful for everyone if that was clarified.

I'll be staying in Puerto Aventuras and returning to the US so I'm looking for reputable businesses and if you know, costs for a rapid test.

Musts: Agency: irrelevant Quality of instruction: very high Good command of the English language. Prefer: Destinations that have warm water and air in Jan/Feb. Destinations where Southwest flies. Not having to change to a DIR configuration for training. I think that's it...

Long story short, I have a former student who's going on a trip of a lifetime with her friend. The friend is not feeling confident about her skills, and I'd like to be able to point them to someone who could help her get more comfortable in the water before they embark (they have 3 days of...

I just finished the 2021 Members Update and beginning Jan 1 2022, SDI will require all professional candidates from DM and up to "demonstrate all skills from the Open Water Scuba Diver course while neutrally buoyant." That's a step in the right direction.

Title says it all, I noticed because @BoltSnap mentioned he couldn't see something there, so I guess the problem's widespread.

I'm considering purchasing an MCH6. Reading the manual it says that they aren't for continuous use, but I can't find anything that says how that's defined. Am I missing something, or is there some general rule of thumb that I'm ignorant of?

This is a little bit of a rant, but I've been looking into agencies to crossover to, and most of them are not at all responsive. NASE - I found you, and I found that your philosophy was really in line with how I wanted to teach. I've called and left messages, emailed, and filled out your web...
