    BCD cleaning after a dive.

    One thing to keep in mind unscrewing and screwing hoses repeatedly increasing the chance of messing up (stripping) threads if not careful. I personally don't need to remove the inflator hose to get water in the bcd to rinse it out. It is slightly easier if I remove the hose but not by much for...

    Fiona Sharp death in Bonaire

    There's no NTSB investigation. Coroner's reports never get posted. I'm not sure what to be waiting for. But I'm not part of this conversation either.

    Yoke to din conversion possible?

    And I apologise for mispeaking. Service kits not sold individually yet.

    Yoke to din conversion possible?

    Thanks cerich. I only wanted the part in case a shop or liveaboard didn't have tank with insert to remove. Then I would switch to the yoke part then. Not as a permanent solution I like my DIN regs just don't like the yoke adaptor sticking out. I'll do a deep6 reg clinic instead that's a better...

    Tipping on Red Sea liveaboards

    I've given the answer. 5-10% is about as accurate as I can give. Seems consistent everywhere I've stayed. The rest of my answer was an attempt to add humor. Sorry it wasn't useful. Wasn't expecting those parts to be useful. It's always a secret. Every liveaboard I've been on. Nobody is keeping...

    Tipping on Red Sea liveaboards

    I'll try and be more specific. I've only been on T&C, red sea, and Indo liveaboards. The culture of tipping comes from Americans tipping abroad. That's why it's pretty consistent what people expect. Doesn't matter the country. If you are confused, just ask your DM and crew what they expect...

    Tipping on Red Sea liveaboards

    Same as everywhere. Up to you. 5-10% reasonable. If you got some exceptional service can tip privately to a person. Red sea liveaboards are cheap enough. Don't be a cheapo

    Yoke to din conversion possible?

    I understand that completely that's why I didn't follow up then. Any reason why my next of kin might be more sue happy compared to others here? But it doesn't make sense considering they let us buy the service kits and down load the service manual right? And they are selling it to others (who...

    Yoke to din conversion possible?

    I already have that. I'm just surprised they would sell the part to others but not too me. Especially a part that doesn't affect performance. His reply: We can only sell you parts to alter the regulator if you have attended a repair clinic for our regulators. We can't guaranty the performance...

    Yoke to din conversion possible?

    I actually wanted the opposite. The DIN to yoke part in case I was in a place without din tanks. Deep 6 won't sell it to me unless I do their clinic. I'm planning to but man it's unscrewing one part to swap it out.

    Do you ever wonder why there are not many sharks left in the world?

    A lot of whale populations have recovered since the ban. Japan is making an adverse impact but the effect is still net positive. In the end, it's just a lack of political will. You think if the us president tied whaling to trade or something else the Japanese wouldn't bend? Of course the lack...

    Do you ever wonder why there are not many sharks left in the world?

    Don't think shark fin is like tiger penis. The Chinese don't believe it has any medicinal value. Just tradition, price, and taste makes it a common expensive dish for expensive dinners.

    Do you ever wonder why there are not many sharks left in the world?

    If the USA really put their foot down, got most countries to join in to ban shark fishing. Just like whaling and endangered species already, that would help. Not sure why there's no such political will on the west.

    How not to handle an Oceanic White Tip?

    Think people are going to know no matter whether there is a hole or not. Haha

    Carrying both primary and back-up lights.

    Any overhang or cave opening can use a light. I always carry. And don't have to remember to add for night dives. And as an emergency signaling device it might help. I use bpw so there's a standard place to attach on shoulder D-rings. Pick whatever you feel most comfortable based on frequency...

    RMV vs SAC rate

    Fine shearwater should let us choose which to display. And require us to input tank type if we want rmv. Everybody is happy heh.
