    Orally inflating a dry suit

    The topic of inflating a drysuit when you go Out of Air (OOA) has come up in several threads as a result of a recent accident. The gist of those threads is that if a drysuit is used as alternate or critical buoyancy, you must have a plan in the event of a failure. I'm going to post a few...

    Why do accidents happen?

    I was thumbing through a magazine recently and ran across an article about the sinking of the Titanic. It immediately struck me that several of the points made in the article apply equally well to SCUBA diving, so I thought I'd tweak them a bit and include them here. 1. No disaster (or...

    How do you clean regs after a (saltwater) dive?

    Nothing bad is going to happen...

    A recent discussion elsewhere prompted me to post this. I was part of a discussion on safety and it was mentioned that people do unsafe things all the time and get away with it. Every time they do so, it reinforces the idea that nothing bad is going to happen. This immediately made me think of...

    Newbies are worthless!

    CCR: Tool or death trap?

    Ok, the title is a little provocative but since I have your attention... I'd like to get this groups opinion of CCR's and more importantly - why - you feel that way. This is prompted by some of the responses I've seen regarding the recent Oriskany incident, both here and other places, as well...

    The difference between "Cheap" and "Value"

    I'm prompted to write this after seeing several recent threads lately complaining about a level of service that someone has received. In many of these cases, people have opted for the best up front price of a commodity. The thing that many people fail to take into account is the long term...

    Does crime change your travel plans?

    There have been quite a few reports lately of increasing crime at some popular travel destinations. In some of the specific threads people seem to blow it off as par for the course for that destination and for other places, people have decided to alter their plans.
