I couldn't figure that post out either. He might be saying why bother carrying extra line on a reel when a spool holds less, so if it's used, you won't have as much to re-spool. If that's correct, then I would counter with, you're only going to deploy whatever string you need to get the SMB to...

Agree with the title being wrong, dramatic, and misleading. An adaptive diver was NOT almost choked to death. A news reporter was almost choked to death when interviewing an ex-marine with PTSD who flipped out and attacked her. She was left with severe impairments, and she ultimately found...

^^All great points above. I posted almost the same thing but I don't think it made it to the thread because as a new member my posts were moderated. - A reel that holds 200 ft of line isn't all that much larger or bulky than a finger spool and no more noticeable when it's hanging from a lower D...

Ok got it

What about following existing wires?

That varies with BCD and diver physique. I dive a Seaquest rear inflate, I love it in the water but on the surface I'm constantly finning to stay upright. If I lost consciousness I'd be a goner. And I've tried everything from inflating as little as possible to shifting weights up higher, it does...

Resorts aren't always necessarily forthcoming about inconveniences to potential guests because it's not good for business. See other thread about a Cayman Brac understating the Sargassum issue. They could always say "oh sorry we didn't think the construction would be going on during those times...

If you're going to be storing other diver's stuff in your hitch lock, especially their car keys, it would not be unreasonable to share the combination with them.

Why use a wireless camera? Easy enough to drill a few holes and run thin wires which is all the cameras need.

A waiver NEVER protects the operator from negligence.

I don't know how that's even possible, unless you've just never dived in ripping current. I've seen my line going up at close to a 45 degree angle, and from 90-95 feet which is typical of SE Florida dives, you're talking at least another 50' of line over and above that 100' just to make it to...

If it's the diesel fumes you can do a few things to avoid it. Well 2 things. Keep reg in mouth until the gear comes off, you can even continue to breathe through the reg AFTER you remove your gear if you can't do the other thing which is get as far to the bow as you can. I've seen divers...

I'm 6'1", 198 lbs and my BCD has a 40 lb lift capacity. When cold water diving with a 7mm suit and 16-18lbs of lead, I hardly use any air in my BCD at depths up to 100'. In other words 40 lbs is way more lift capacity than I will ever need with my configuration.

Was it drift diving with a "live" boat? Surfacing into a lungful of diesel fumes can get anyone heaving over the side, it's happened to me.

Hello I have been using your excellent program for quite a while and just updated it after reading your post. Note that Windows10 gives all sorts of scary ransomware warnings upon installation which might prevent some people from using it. Also the mobile version continues to be quite buggy-...
