    Liveaboard fire

    You are thinking of 1st world countries with fire suppression and crew walks. It's mandatory in our part of the world, we are lucky. Even when I sail on Tall Ships and it's voluntary crew, we have someone all night long in 2 shifts walking around and checking a preset list.

    Liveaboard fire

    Looking for multiple exits and making sure they are open, I think is proactive and if you walked the boat ahead of time and talked to crew and divers and made it a priority, you would be okay. I always look for this, but never said much, I do now.

    Cold Water Diving for Beginners

    It's not the money, it's the flexibility. I think I'm going to rent some suits first and see what's up.

    OOA/Safety Stop Question

    If you have plenty of air and the OOA diver is calm, what's the question again?

    Cold Water Diving for Beginners

    I was looking into a semi dry for the NJ ocean waters because I know I'll have to pee while down. I grew up with no wetsuits or rash guards in the Keys diving. So I'm new to wetsuit/dry/semi dry. The semi intrigues me.

    I still use an spg. It's comforting to have it.

    BP/W combo?

    -I saw both side by side and the quality was better on the Subgravity. -The quick release system they have is solid. I was not looking for that, I was just going to go with continuous web, but very happy with the quick release. -Wing size options. They have about 5 different sizes to match you...

    BP/W combo?

    I looked at them, they are really wide and the wing only comes in 40#. Ended up buying a Subgravity which I really like.

    Training fatality after Instructor held student down - Stoney Cove, UK

    I can't believe after all that, the jury only deliberated for "several hours" and was dismissed. Seems like a pretty short time frame. Also means there's more info than we know about.

    XDEEP Zen Corrugated Hose Replacement

    All the reasons I ended up not getting it. I was sold on it at first, then saw one in a dive and looked at being used, talked to the diver using it. The quality was good, just things I didn't like. The big ones are it's only a 40# wing that's a bit long and the plate is really wide. Ended up...

    Speargun?

    These don't seem like the best analogy since they are both technology driven. My first gun was a .22 rifle my Dad showed me how to shoot. I still have that gun and love to squirrel hunt with it 45 years later. Many folks have their first guns decades later. I think a well thought out Spear gun...

    BP/W combo?

    I keep looking and hoping. I keep and eye on the used page as well. I might snag one.

    BP/W combo?

    Ya got me. Let me re-state. You can only get the 8mm x 1.25 from them at $20 EACH. I bought my Subgravity from my LDS and said I wanted speed nuts. We both looked at the bolt and he handed me 5/16 speed (I build houses and restore cars, so I'm pretty good sizing up nuts and bolts). I came home...
