I use a tech cert for single-tank warm water vacation diving and it feels like I get, at the least, less babysitting compared to others, both in and out of the water. ("how much gas do you have", "you're too deep", "let's make sure your kit is assembled properly", that sort of stuff) I have no...

yes. although for reef diving, presumably you're not crawling on the reef, so any material will last approximately indefinitely when compared to cave/wreck usage.

I don't see any results for the Flow at Scarpa's site, is that a new model? SCARPA | Search results for: 'flow' Haha sorry couldn't resist. I'll show myself the door now.

If you give it a go, hope it works for ya! 🤞

The Flex190 is a great undergarment though! 5'10" height with ~31" inseam. Maybe not? Size chart is https://santionduty.com/files/740/santi_sizechart_undersuits_men.pdf

this.

There’s plenty of independent “mechanics” doing good work so there’s not much reason to need to send suits to the factory.

Mine just had this issue. Travis got it fixed super quick (replace keypad and battery plus full "service"- firmware update, inspection, calibration. Well past warranty, I'd call it Shearwater level service.

You want weird "distress" logic? In San Diego, if you deploy an SMB while shore diving without notifying lifeguards that you're going to, they'll come out and (apparently this has happened!?) try to drag you up by the line. Or yell at you afterward for shooting and SMB without prior notice...

None of the people around you* (*you being anyone with audible alerts) wants to hear, on an other enjoyable dive: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP (depth alert) BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. (NDL low) BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. (no NDL) BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. (low gas alert) BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP...

No from CCR (stayed the same) but yes from cave training (significantly improved esp on cave dives).

The State Dept warnings always seem very "throwing stones in a glass house". So quick to tell citizens the world is nothing but boogeymen out to get ya, I bet if they applied the same ranking logic to US states like they do abroad (e.g. Mexico is broken down state-by-state), there'd be a bunch...

Also saw a hammerhead on one dive, that was amazing (first/only ever)

We were there two weeks ago at RRI and had the pleasure of having Bruce as the captain on our boat as well as our tour guide around the island on the last afternoon. One of my favorite quotes from him, I commented that while there’s tons of fish there surprisingly wasn’t a lot of mollusks and...

Last March I flew into TQO and bag didn't make my connecting flight; the airport was new enough that I couldn't get my bag back (even when it was apparently there) because there was no one at the airport to open wherever they keep bags*. So it had to be transported back up to CUN for one of the...

IME wool takes longer to develop BO/sweat smell, and when it does it doesn't retain it after a wash (compare to synthetics which can get a baseline perma-stench). I have SmartWool Classic Thermal Merino Base Layer (top and bottom) which are a bit $ but I think I end-of-season sale or Black...

Same!

For T1 and CCR1 it was Orquidea 😭 😭

They all have that, marketing labels it a corrugated hose 😄

I think I recall reading that pneumatic rotary hammers have been used for shallower (or however far your supply line can reach into a cave) anchors? If it's freshwater just bring nuts and cams, how badass would that be. Black Diamond can easily make a habitat from haulbag material, they should...
