Dude, I'm so stoked that the McCaskeys finally loosened their shriveled purse strings and paid for a good head coach. The NFL is more fun when the Bears are good. And I don't wanna see Caleb Williams get annihilated because of the organizations unwillingness to invest in the team.

I gotcha, sorry about that! I knew about the stadium drama, but clearly not in enough detail. Thank you for clarifying.

OK, as a massive NFL fan (it's my only hobby outside diving)...what on earth is going on with this post? I know DiveHeart, and love the mission, but this reads like an AI marketing gimmick became sentient and is holding a terrified advertising intern hostage and making them come up with...

It's not true zero-viz if you can read your SPG. The actual "bad viz" I've experienced, in what I consider as "bad viz", I couldn't read my Perdix against my mask. And until very, very recently, I had never had that experience in a cave. Just the ocean, funny enough. Until it was cave that we...

No, no, no, our tallest employee is 6'7". However, if you cut Josh and Mike out, we average 6'5". The difference between 7' and 6'7" is more than 5 inches though. Also, those Devil plates are great, but they push your canister WAY back, to the point I gave mine away, because even though it's...

Yeah man, you're going to go custom on exposure protection. If you're worried about cost, get the cheapest custom drysuit you can get, but get it custom. Halcyon makes a long-pattern backplate which is all I use anymore. It'll be a little short on you, but it really doesn't matter that much...

DM sent.

This should be a blast.... You're kinda asking different questions from different approaches. There are other great instructors in Florida that arent GUE. Cave 1 with someone like Kelvin Davidson of 3D in Mexico is an awesome GUE course too, in a sweet location. Are you looking for an...

Yazbeck Hammour or Carbone suits, or EliosSub. 7.5mm farmer john style. You want that extra insulation in your chest, and it keeps water off your core as long as possible. You can also throw a thin vest over/under a farmer john to supplement (or on top of pants, for that matter). Mako is fine...

We've been absolutely slammed for the last six or so months, but we're not dependant on tourism and we don't do much (if any) shop travel. Alaska was also the first state to roll out vaccines for everyone. I think that it will slow down as the summer moves on and that unthawing feeling wears...

It depends on depth and repetition. But there's some great articles recently in DAN about competitive freedivers getting smoked by DCS. It seems past 100 feet is when you need to start being mindful of it. I'm just a bum with a scooter and long fins.

Oh, for sure. CUDA 400 or comparable while freediving--absolute human missiles. More fun than a human should have, but ascents need to be monitored. It's very hard to get bent freedving, but a DPV makes it way easier if you're not cognizant of what you're doing, how long/deep you're down...

Brother, you are the type of human who keeps the diving world go round. That type of enthusiasm makes me want to come back to the area and do more diving--even more so than the desire to lounge on a tropical beach on my surface intervals.

Copy and pasted from CDF regarding this specifically, because I haven't seen it yet, and most folks casually on Scubaboard aren't on CDF: " My name is Ken Hill and I have been an IUCRR member for the past 25 years and its Director for the past 15 years. Kelley texted me asking me to post a...

That is highway robbery. Most shops will give 'em to you if you're even a low-key regular. They cost pennies.

Halcyon makes one, although availability varies, especially with SS. I know we have someisome stock, but haven't ordered long pattern SS in a while. I like the weight of the heavy SS Scubaforce one, but it fits... weird. And it pushes cannisters waaay far back on your hips.

Appreciate it, thank you! Honestly, being that we had the first one for all of four days, and I never tinkered with it. Got it in on a Thursday, dove it in a class on Saturday, sold it on Monday. We got two more in today, and we'll be doing just that on them.

I'll throw my two cents in here to help out anyone considering a 'Tip. Have done three salt water dives with one, and half a dozen dives where my buddy had one, and I was on a CUDA 400 (or comparable). Starting with con's: Tail-heavy. There's no fixing the trim of the scooter when you're not...

For me, it's honestly just a response in 24-48 hours. If a shop gets back to me and answers my questions, it means they're monitoring potential customers and trying to answer their questions. I generally give that a point in the "customer service" category, especially in the dive industry where...

Also curious. My dive buddy got an ear infection, so I never made it out to see Edd. He glowingly recommended them though, and I was super bummed I didn't get a chance to get out and rip around on one.
