I recommend the 500li one. I have the 350 one and it’s actually decent if you’re in an area with no current, and it’s a good supplement to kicking, but it NEEDS more power though. I wish I had bought the 500li the first time and not been cheap. If you’re serious about diving and can afford it...

Go to Tulum, Mexico and dive the cenotes

Go to Mexico and call CenotExperience. I went there, cheap as hell, dived a bunch of amazing freaking cenotes, and for only about $100 a day, I was able to get 2-3 dives in with this amazing dude. I forget his name, short Mexican guy who was skinny but very muscular/cut. They’ll be able to get...

I dive for the adventure, seeing the ocean, seeing caves, seeing shipwrecks, going places nobody else has been. it’s really fun I also like to do it as an important part of our vacations/traveling when me and my wife go on vacations to new countries. Almost every country has an awesome dive to...

I know I’m probably alone in this, but aside from special circumstances requiring talking and communicating, I think that full face masks are kind of a liability and a joke tbh. But when you need to communicate and talk I suppose they serve a useful purpose

Yeah it’s definitely respectable to take the course and challenge yourself, regardless of what disabilities you may have, as long as you can safely do the course. Keep in mind that in a real emergency, you may not be the best diver suited to save someone due to it, and that’s ok. Either way...

Also, as to your 3000 PSI air running out faster, here are some tips and facts: 1) Yeah, air consumption increases every 10 meters. It’s 2x surface consumption at 10 meters. 3x surface consumption at 20 meters. 4x surface consumption at 30 meters. And so on, and so on at 100 feet, you’re...

I won’t be a d*ck because we’ve all been clueless when we first started out. (I’m a certified rescue diver now, and cavern diver (I’ll dive caves but CAREFULLY), and I’ve done over 120 dives) however, one thing I’ll tell you: It’s fine to challenge yourself. However, there needs to be some...

They sell antibiotics on the cheap in Mexico, without a prescription, and It’s legal to take a bunch home. thets what I did when me and my wife were cave diving. So if I feel a sinus infection come on, I just take them and clear out my ears with ear drops and use nasacort 2x daily and Tylenol...

It might work, but it also will kill off a lot of brain cells. -___- I recommend sticking with Dramamine the night before and then an hour before the dive

Here’s the catcher: I feel like a lot of people feel claustrophobic or have vision issues, so that’s why they wear FFM. I highly recommend PRESCRIPTION SCUBA MASKS. I got mine from SPE dive school in MD. It’s awesome. Only cost me like $150 or $200 or so on top of the mask, and it’s amazing...

Personally, I think it’s crazy and foolish to do FFM. I’ve always been a half-face mask guy. I see movies or videos where people are in FFM and I think it’s just clownish, almost like the people making the movies don’t know how to dive. is FFM a thing? Yeah but it shouldn’t be. And 95% of...

It looks like they have a pretty legit course, and it seems rigorous. the onlyyyy issue is that in some areas internationally like North and South America, you may have some issues getting dive boats, cenotes/caverns, etc to accept that certification. as a whole, PADI or SSI or any of the...

Good job homie, stay safe out there. That water sounds cold as hell! I agree with you, I've found it's always a great idea to have redundant air sources... whether that be sidemount and 2 tanks for recreational diving, or at least just having a pony bottle. Real life is much different than the...

Your post is spot on about everything EXCEPT when you claim that diving in a group doesn't make you safer from marine attacks, such as great white sharks or tiger sharks for example. There's a ton of evidence which shows that sharks are less likely to attack people in groups than they are to...

I think that the kids do need to be trained on the equipment and understand the risks and the science before doing it, yes. But, I think you can sit down with your kids for 10 minutes and explain the science of it to them *enough for them to scuba in a 12 foot pool just to try the gera out*. I...

You have a good point, but I still think that waving your arms to show panic is a much more obvious and easily spotted sign, then somebody simply putting their mask on their head. And if they are so scared and panicked that they are catatonic and not even thinking or moving, then I doubt they...

Meaning, if I was panicked I’d wave, and if I was then later ok I would let them know I’m ok with the O sign But if I have no panic and no issues, and im just wearing a mask on my head, it’s silly for people to think that I’m panicked

Obviously medical pros “legally” have to tell you to “never dive with it” bcuz they don’t wanna be sued. But a lot of people dive with nasal congestion anyway. I’m just saying if you’re gonna dive anyway, at least try to do it mostly-safely by taking the decongestant an hour before then right...

You’re right, of course. I’m just saying if someone has a cold, and still stubbornly wants to dive, that it’s at least much safer to take a nasal decogestsnt than to not take one at all. They should take one an hour before the dive and then also take one right before the dive. That way there’s...
