    Flooded with more water coming, on my way out of town Tuesday I think I saw a bearded man collecting animals two by two. Pretty much limited to Ginnie, Manatee, and Jug.

    Shearwater Transmitter Hitting Tank

    And now the transmitters is sticking out into your arm pit or outside where it can get tangled with your bungees. Also that doesn't really position the ports where the hoses route the best. You realize that this post is in the SM forum right? That is the proper way to mount a reg on a SM bottle.

    Shearwater Transmitter Hitting Tank

    I suppose you can buy another first stage, but I assumed he wouldn't want to buy a new first stage.

    Shearwater Transmitter Hitting Tank

    You can run it on a short hose if you want, but now it is farther back and more likely to have issues reading. Nearly everyone I know angles it on AL tanks.

    Shearwater Transmitter Hitting Tank

    On AL tanks you have to angle it slightly.

    I finally bought a house in Cave Country! W00T!!!

    Yeah just nudge it into the turns is what I do. Though on straight roads I have to give it a spare nudge.

    I finally bought a house in Cave Country! W00T!!!

    Keeping your hand on the wheel isn't that hard, jeez kids these days. I keep it on when I am outside of towns in cave country. It works on most of the major roads, but I do increase the follow distance to max.

    I finally bought a house in Cave Country! W00T!!!

    Mine requires it to feel your hand on the wheel at least every 30 seconds. But yeah much less stressful when you are just racking up miles. But sometimes you do need to go manual and be aggressive thanks to left lane bandits.

    New Halcyon Fin (wtf?!)

    So I was diving with someone testing these fins. He described that the felt like a slightly stiffer Dive Rite XTs with a bit more snap. He was using the Dive Rite XTs before and liked them. They are still ugly as sin, but if they are almost heavier weight (with the weights installed) Dive Rite...

    I finally bought a house in Cave Country! W00T!!!

    The lane keeping is a feature that I thought I would hate, but driving 30k a year back and forth from CC weekly I've found I love it. I am much less tired as you largely only have to think about not hitting things.

    cave vs open water dpv

    I am curious which agency is that? The only one I can think of is GUE.

    cave vs open water dpv

    If you do it with a cave DPV instructor, yes. A lot of my initial struggle in cave DPV boiled down to lack of control of my DPV. After a couple of dives getting a feel for how to configure and ride it properly things were a lot easier. After that you have handling the DPV and stages.

    What dive shop to rent from?

    I don't think I've seen very many remove tanks from their cars at EE for nitrox. No reason to since they don't do water cooling.

    Cave video and light setups

    My on camera setup is a Backscatter wide tray with Sola Video Pro 3800s on camera, but what is important is having your lead person lighting things up and giving your videos scale. Here is @Norwegian Cave Diver lighting up Chan-Hol mostly with his LM VF light and a HP50 with video filter...

    Medical Fatality in Plura cave system in Norway

    I wasn't there so I'm not 100% sure. But IIRC that quote was from his first trip. Subsequent trips I've seen pictures of him in the Choptima there. And this trip was posted as being part of Choptima team dive in my FB timeline. I could probably ask one of my friends that was on the trip, but...

    Instructor Professionalism

    The US military is also taking young adults and rebuilding them into the mindset appropriate for military service. Not even remotely the same as technical diving students. Sure there are times when you need to be forceful and have come to Jesus honesty. But there is no crying in technical diving.
