I will be down there next week and will again be diving with Scorpio divers. Small outfit and small groups so no cattle boat. Last time I dove the Taj Mahal cenote and it was beautiful, also did the local reefs and the Kittywake and had a great time. The ride to the cenote from the hotel zone...

If you like diving in zero viz mud and drifting at 8kts its great. Haha You're gonna need to be somewhere around the Ninilchik area before water starts to clear up Cook inlet has the second largest tides in the world so it makes it tough to do anything in the inlet due to current

You can rent a boat but it's expensive, there are some transporters that can take you out and drop you off There is an outfit out of Seward that will take you out to either their dive spots or whatever you choose, you will need all your own gear including tanks and the closest place to rent is...

We generally only dive the months of January through December. Smitty's cove in Whittier is good year round diving and the weather there is generally not too bad being that it's right on the ocean. Water in the winter gets into the 36 degree range when it's real cold but it's not too bad

I'm 5'10 and 215 lbs I dive primarily cold water with a drysuit my RMV rate runs about .50 - .60 if I am using a DPV and just enjoying the ride it goes down to about .45 - .50. I have never checked mine in warm water.

On deeper dives I sling a 30

Semper Fi brother. Thanks

As far as detune and predive in my alternate I do that so to help it keep from being too sensitive but only on my alternate, if I am not understanding what you are trying to say here, my apologies. I am not a reg tech and don't set my own IP's however I have thought about getting the tools and...

Well for me its not really an option not to own my own tanks, I am a three hour drive one way to the nearest dive shop I can rent from and then I'd have to drive to return them so I would be out 12 hours driving to rent a tank (two trips up and back). It costs me $25 just to get an air fill...

The freeflow was coming from my alternate. I was able to keep breathing from my primary like normal.

If it's the inflator I think it is then it's really simple to disassemble to change the orings or at least clean and inspect them. If the OP has simple hand tools and access to a hardware store with orings then he can take it apart without needing the kit. All he would need is a screwdriver a...

Had the same thing happen to my bc. It was the oring on the schrader valve in the lp hose.. Can you get it to replicate the problem out of the water? To replace the schrader valve just go to your local auto parts store and get a schrader valve tool probably cost you about $3.. You might try...

As far as the temperature logging goes it might be an issue using C, I use F and have had no issues the only difference being that on Connect it has a decimal point and not on the watch itself so on Connect it might be 43.4 and the watch display will say 43. I just checked several of my dives...

Were only on this earth for a short time so cram in as much fun as you can. Drive on and don't give up. You wont need as much weight in Hawaii and the rental gear I have used there all had integrated pockets so no worry's about dropping a weight belt. If they do use weight belts tell them of...

I started with a full 100 at just under 3000psi I finally downloaded my dive profile to look at exact times and rate of ascent and it took me four minutes to get to the surface from where I turned the dive at 94ffw it looks like I stopped my descent for about 20 seconds at that 94ft before going...

It came from my alternate second stage regulator I had on a necklace around my neck. Strange thing at least for me that cought me off guard was that it was the alternate and I wasn't using it so it had no airflow going through it. For me it would have been easier to understand if it had been my...

No judgment taken. Unfortunately when it happened it was immediately after we had done an OK check so both divers were facing away from me, the water was so murky that even about 15 ft unless you were looking directly at me you wouldn't see the torch. So within seconds they were out of range to...

For those questioning the decision to make a safety stop. My wife was topside in the boat and could have assisted should I have needed help. It was a 100' dive and yes I know that at any time if you stay below your NDL time that you should be able to surface at any time during your dive without...

Thanks I just blew Pepsi out my nose

A bit of a long read: This winter at one of the local lakes I dive there was a truck with a trailer and snomobile that broke through the ice and sunk, furtunatly the driver and his dog managed to escape and walk to safety. My dive partner and I have been wanting to locate the truck and dive on...
