Thanks for posting this. I hope we are able to take care of his medical and other costs until he is back to normal. I'll be headed down to spend some time with him next week. He is actually a better man than most are aware and that's saying a lot because he is very well loved. Thanks for all of...

I use two fixed d-rings. I start with the side mounted tanks clipped to the rear d-rings and the stage clipped to the front d-ring. I later shift the side tanks to the front d-rings which puts them sharing with the stage d-rings.

He can't spell his own name so you made him an admin. That seems perfect. hehehe

FIFY and for Sphyon. He now has 145,000 likes. That's less than one per member but hey, moderation in all things.

I've never seen greater than 170% SurfGF but I usually exit at 50% after killing time in the shallows on my typical 4 hour dive.

Bravo! RTFM wins again. Thanks! One other thing is that the gas consumption at the beginning of a dive can be off based on the initial inflation of the BC while descending. It takes awhile for that to average out of my ongoing consumption monitoring(a little calculation that I do in the...

Let's just say I respected them. When you see things flying by just around the corner and have just heard about the guy they found a mile away, it's best to not rush out into traffic.

If you bring PPE to Cozumel and want to connect to some doctors, I know 4, three on the island and one from the island working on the mainland. PPE was not a problem there when I left in mid June. Unfortunate is that has changed.

Two bay charger is fine for me even when I dive two scooters. They charge in just 2-3 hours so swapping out the sets is easy enough and the two bay is easier to pack and travel with. I don't want them to sit full all their lives so I actually partially charge them after the dive and top them off...

Often people don't know that their lenses are removable. All of the masks that my wife and I use have a small plastic piece on the front of the lens that is removable with a small sharp tool. After that retainer is removed, the lenses and the silicone skirt are removable from the plastic frame...

Why not just remove the lenses for the soak?

A few months ago I tested some tanks that were labeled as 28%. They tested at 32%. Hmmm I guess my planned dive to 40 meters is going to have to be adjusted. Then I hooked them up and the pressure was low. I then knew what had happened. I pulled out my phone which has a gas blending app on it...

I trimmed it at the edge. I have hundreds of hours on the scooter since then and there are dings and scuffs but the edge has not lifted or been a problem in any way.

Pockets on both legs, rear d-rings for dsmb, etc, cutters on shoulder and waist straps. I also use a small weight pocket to store my spear point when not in use or during long scooter traverses. All I really need to carry generally is wet notes, spare mask, cutters, dsmb, spear point, backup...

Several posts have been removed. Some that are not appropriate for a learning zone have been left but may yet be removed. This thread is in the basic scuba forum. There are special rules that must be followed to retain our ability to post in this learning forum. The rules follow: ScubaBoard...

Yes but for him it will be for two divers if I'm guessing right and a 6 cfm compressor will be fine.

Deep6 still has 3 and 7 mil wetsuits on closeout that come with the best pockets I've ever seen already installed and they are rotated down a bit for sidemount. Get them while they last. There's never been a better deal.

Their decision is not well founded but it isn't ridiculous. They just look with fear at what their risk is compared to their reward. They have a system that works for them. Solo divers aren't part of their program and the possibility of losing some of the divers that want to dive solo isn't...

Icemaker water line such as this. 1/4'' OD Polyethylene Tubing for Water Filters

@tbone1004 there are lots of reasons to dive sidemount. In the last six months I did 127 three tank dives in Cozumel. I was underwater for 15 1/2 days. Doing that in back mounted doubles would have been difficult for multiple reasons. First and foremost is that in areas where the easily...
