Umekes for poke.

Agreed. I made the comment several times that underwater photography was difficult at Richelieu Rock because the fish kept getting in the way... We just returned from 4D4N aboard the MV Pawara (West Coast Divers) and the trip was fantastic. The boat was extremely comfortable and the food was...

Thanks for the input. I had seen multiple different locations in my google search and I wasn't sure which was correct. Of the two above, the PADI site looks more accurate to where I know we were (mostly east of Koh Bon and north of the harbor entrance to Tab Lamu Pier), so I'll use it.

We just finished a 4D4N live aboard yesterday (more on that to follow) and the last dive on the way back to Tab Lamu was the Boonsung Wreck. With the commotion of getting packed, etc. I was not able to grab the coordinates of the site for my logbook. Does anyone have them handy? Thanks in advance.

In my experience you will be pretty busy with the class room times and out of water skills when you are taking Fundies. My wife and I were pretty fatigued at the end of each day with just the class. Perhaps warm water diving would be different than Puget Sound in January though. If you want to...

As others have said, heavy fins help with the drysuit, but may cause you to be too foot heavy in a wetsuit. I use a pair of Hollis F1s in my drysuit and a set of OMS Slipstreams (Jet fin style, but more neutrally buoyant) in a wetsuit. Are you planning on taking the drysuit primer before or...

I have had other reports of that too recently. I have some ideas on how to scope down the number of dives it is trying to load out of HealthKit, but have not had a chance to work on it yet due to being on a dive vacation to Thailand right now. I'm intending to figure it out once I am home later...

@tmassey Thanks for this spreadsheet, I've used it for years to give a starting point for weighting as I use new-to-me cylinders. One correction that could be made is for the Worthington LP95. You have the same empty weight, empty buoyancy and full buoyancy as the Worthington LP85, but the...

Thanks! That looks like just what I was looking for. For us it's worth it to buy a copy ourselves so we can pour over it on our trip to Thailand as well as use it to help record of what we saw for memory's sake.

I saw that book (“Reef Fish in IndoPacific” ), but it wasn't clear from the table of contents if it covers more than just fish. We're also interested in invertebrates (cephalopods, nudibranchs, etc.)

We're fortunate to be going on a 4D4N liveaboard in the Similan Islands in a couple of weeks and are curious if anyone can recommend a book to help identify the wildlife we will see in the Andaman Sea. I've looked on Amazon, but most are for the tropical Pacific Ocean and I'm not sure how much...

I would expect The Scuba Museum to have orange purge covers to match the orange exhaust tees that they have (or had.)

Just out of curiosity, where did you source the white diaphragm cover? Or did you mold it yourself?

I purchased his Northwest Wreck Dives earlier this year and have relied on his website for information for many years. I'm sad I did not get a chance to meet him in person. He will be missed.

So your "opinion" that others should be able to dive in caves as long as they're not under legal control of others is an uneducated opinion that is conflating whether it is legal to do so with whether it is smart and acceptable in the cave diving community.

Thanks for putting this out there. I'll be honest, my adrenaline was through the roof just reading your blog post. I can't imagine how you must have felt.

Great article. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the GUE 25th Anniversary conference in Gainesville last weekend and Jarrod's vision for GUE going forward is very inspiring.

Kona Honu rents cylinders (with either air or Nitrox) for shore diving as well.

I will say that unsubscribing from The Pub has made my ScubaBoard experience much more enjoyable, especially on days that end in a 'y'.

I saw the title to this thread and thought to myself "Scuba is my midlife crisis." Apparently I'm not alone. Thankfully my wife and I are sharing this midlife crisis together.
