    SM Essential Skills List

    Well, that is the reason for the practicing of these skills...so that the skills are always sharp. In tec diving, I learned about incidents where folks had been excellent beginner divers...spent many years NOT practicing the essential skills...had a minor incident that led to a major...

    SM Essential Skills List

    Greetings! I am curious what the community says for what an essential list of SM skills are. With basic BM scuba, if one takes a break for over 6mo, it is advised to take a refresher course...which, in my experience, only had the essential skills. Back, when I did BM diving including tec...

    Info Deep6 Excursion Upgrade Beta Test

    Yes. That is exactly what I did and it worked on the first try :) It took a bit to get the APK unzipped on a desktop and the file moved to the Pixel 6a phone...but, after that, no issues. Anyone know of an updated user manual for the updated FW? I only have the "Version 1.0 Beta" user manual.

    Considering Hanging it up...but...what to do after scuba??

    Wild, I did not know about dive charters in the San Juans before Lu-Jac's Quest...which, my uncle owned and ran :) Sucks that there are none after he hung it up. I LOVE diving the San Juans. This has a lot to unpack...I REALLY appreciate the in-depth analysis and personal share...I will be...

    Considering Hanging it up...but...what to do after scuba??

    Ha, a buddy was going to lend me his LP50s to try out...they are a bit too floaty for him. DAng, 3.5hrs each way?? That is dedicated!! Well, I have mulled this over for over 6mo...still exploring it, too :D I wish! My wife's family are big sailors...I grew up power boating...but, as you say...

    Closed ScubaPro Regs

    Yeah, I agree with @TheStiglet...the pics show a computer clearly...but...the post did not say yes or no to a computer. You might want to add that info to the post if you are saying "All questions are answered in the post but just to clarify."

    Apeks high profile vs low profile

    Reviving this question. Summary so far: QTY 2 for low profile QTY 1 for high profile Personally, I like the high profile...but...owning and maintaining one and using one in the field with tight harness straps...I also like the low profile. Anyone else? I am likely to buy a low profile one in...

    What Scubapro regulator is best for combating dry mouth?

    I know the 4th gen S600s[2010 and newer, see pics, unsure when that gen ended] have metal air barrels. I have Gen1 and Gen 2 S600s that came with plastic air barrels...and those now have the 4th gen S600 internal parts [case, diaphram, cover all original]...but that only matters if you believe...
