Hello to you all. I felt like sharing what happened to me last week-end. Maybe it’ll encourage some divers to do the Rescue course. I went for a couple of quiet dives last Saturday at a quarry near my place. Upon arrival, my buddy tells me that a third diver would join us. I didn’t know the...

Hello to you all I am planning a road trip / diving trip this summer (whenever it'll be possible in the pandemic context) and Tobermory is at the top of my list. I’ll be travelling alone and my schedule is totally open. I have two questions : - Organised group seems to be the norm (from what I...

Hello to you all I am looking for a soft goodman handle for my Dive Rite CX-1. I tried the one I own (and works well for warm water diving) but it's too small for when I wear dry gloves with liner. Thanks in advance for your help. Stay safe and healthy.

For some reasons, I love that picture. French tourists driving snowmobiles on Lac St-Jean, Québec recently drown in the Lake and that picture of one of the search teams is pretty good. It looks cold and it is !

Just want to wish to all of you a great year 2020, the best moments with your friends and family and as much time as possible making bubbles. Safe diving! :)

A very interesting innovation : I find the title of the video a bit misleading, but the results are impressive. For those interested in the exact science, the publication is here...

Hello to you all, My second stage started to "breathe wet" during my last dive and I was wondering what could be the cause. Is there something I could check or change to fix this ? Thanks in advance Safe diving !

As I am starting my diving endeavour, I keep thinking about the learning curve and the mistake one could make (without even been aware of it). I have been lucky enough to do 80 dives this year. I learned a great deal. As I am getting closer to the 100 dive mark, I obviously feel a bit more...

Bonjour :-) I have very limited experience : close to 60 dives, 2 trips to Cozumel and few dives in the cold waters of the St-Laurence. I got a good deal on a drysuit and bought it since it is the best way to dive as much as possible around here. Got a crash course with a very good instructor...

Hello good people of Scubaboard Even though I am satisfied with my back inflate BCD, I decided to go for a BP/W set-up as I am aiming to do the ITT course some time this summer. Thanks to all the amazing information I found on SB, I got a pretty decent set-up for my upcoming diving in the...

(I decided to post it here, but I'll let the mods decide if there's a better section...) Ok... I debated with myself for a while before deciding posting my incident on the internet. I, however, value the input of all the divers on SB and know I can learn a lot from what you have to say about...

Hello all I recently bought a Bare trilam Tech Dry but as you noticed, there are no pockets. So I ordered the Bare velcro pockets, but what's the best way to glue them ? I'd like to do the job only once ? Merci. Safe diving !

Hi all, First, Happy New Year to every diver out there ! I wish you all the most amazing time making bubbles :) I just droped by my LDS today and had a good talk with the guy about the "intro to tech" course. They go with TDI and I am very happy with it (just because I don't want to follow the...

Hi all, Since there are many weeks between now and my next dive, I had fun improving my gear box. I thought I could use the top's framing as compartments for little stuff I use less. Only few dollars spent on little items like the metal flat clips. Prettty happy with the result.

Hello all, Something happened today and I’d like to have your opinion and learn from a surprising situation (for me at least). I had to abort a dive this morning because of a free flow on my primary that I couldn’t stop (rental regulator). Once out of the water, I was chatting with the site...

Disclaimer : I am from Québec, so my native language is French. My English grammar will most likely hurt some of you guys. I apologize in advance. Context : @Trace Malinowski is a tech and cave diver. I am a recreational diver with a huge 14 dives under my belt. :-D Yet, he accepted to take...

Hello everybody I have a question that is directly triggered by my first diving trip to Cozumel. For some reason, I haven't bought a safety sausage yet. (probably because it wasn't even a subject of discussion during my OW :-S). Long story short, I surfaced during a thunderstorm (visibility...

Hello everyone ! As a newbie (I did my certification dives last week-end), I read a fair amount of posts and articles on buoyancy and its importance. So I called the dive shop and spent time in the pool this week to practice. I am planning to do the same every week until I leave for Cozumel at...

Hello everybody I’ll be flying to Cozumel at the end of July and will be staying at the Occidental. I am a newly OW diver and got 0 dives so far, so it’ll be my first diving trip. Planning to go with Pro Dive as they are the resort’s dive shop (so very convenient) and also because I read pretty...
