    Boat operators-differences between good & bad divers?

    I've seen white colored sunscreen that was not Ti or Zinc Oxide; however, it can also be Ti or Zinc based and still contain chemicals which aren't reef safe too. Only way to honestly know for sure is to read the ingredients.

    Is this the most difficult skill for new scuba divers?

    Initially getting into diving, like in a pool, clearing your mask seems to be one of the top items people struggle with, but it makes sense given the circumstances of being land based mammals. After certification, I'd say the next challenges are bouyancy control, controlled ascents, and...

    HP130 for lobster diving and spear fishing

    Double HP130s, who are you, Hulk Hogan? I've done it with success before, but not without a great ab workout

    Bare 3 or 5mm mens suit with neck zipper

    My wife's Bare 5MM has a neck zipper. She uses the Nixy for when the temperature is higher in the water. I really do believe they missed the mark on adding zippers to their 3MM and 5MM suits for both men and women because I've tried other suits and only theirs fits my wife and my body as perfect...

    Bare 3 or 5mm mens suit with neck zipper

    No, not enough flexibility, it starts at the point of the suit being zipped all the way up.

    Bare 3 or 5mm mens suit with neck zipper

    Thanks, I tried their suits before and the sizing either was way too small or it was too bulky in certain areas. It was a bummer for me because it had the zipper in it too, and for a decent price.

    Bare 3 or 5mm mens suit with neck zipper

    Wow, everything from silicon, metal(s), and now neoprene is in short supply, it truly is across the board. Oh well, I'll wait, thanks for letting me know that, its understandable. '

    Close call with wildlife!

    I think everyone in Australia needs a Gold medal for surviving past age 30, so much can kill you there! :) Good advice though, we have some creepy creatures here in Florida to avoid too

    Does Analox make a CO analyzer in the same format as their O2EII Pro?

    Bare 3 or 5mm mens suit with neck zipper

    So, a while back on Twitter, in 2020, Bare teased me with saying "I would love their lineup for next year" because I made a mention to them it was odd the female versions of their 5mm suits had a zipper to help ease tension around the neck, but not the men's version of the suit. For me, I am...

    Did you lose your other fingers feeding a Moray eel?

    Bad memory? O2 Clean required for less than 40% nitrox

    LOL, when I type on my DAS keyboard for work and I forget to mute myself on calls, people think I'm typing a strongly worded email, when its just how fast I type. That comment made me laugh

    Bad memory? O2 Clean required for less than 40% nitrox

    No, you are the one making anecdotal claims of incidents regarding filling a tank with banked EAN up to 40%, prove it. I have never mentioned changing the regulations of the CGA, I am aware SCUBA is but a blip on their radar. If a shop has an insurance policy that states they require O2 cleaning...

    Bad memory? O2 Clean required for less than 40% nitrox

    YOU are the one who shoulders the burden to provide proof, not anyone else. YOU are the one making the anecdotal claims without providing sufficient evidence to back it up. YOU are more than welcome to collect your data and aggregate it in such a way to keep the information 100% in tact and...

    Bad memory? O2 Clean required for less than 40% nitrox

    I don't have a dog in your fight here, but your own reference is also...anecdotal. Do you have a reference to the incidents involving banked 40% EAN, which have concluded beyond a reasonable doubt, based solely on the evidence provided to them, that the cause was the enriched air beyond beyond...

    Bad memory? O2 Clean required for less than 40% nitrox

    I bet its $20 for one of the crappy ones with the sharp edges that mauls your thumbs too. I have to say, DGX is doing rather well, I've bought from them recently, but I've also bought a lot from Divers-Supply too

    Bad memory? O2 Clean required for less than 40% nitrox

    Just a picture? No actual literature that stated "must have the green and yellow Nitrox only sticker"? I mean, so what if it has it or not? Does that shop have "oxygen grade air"? Even if they do, it doesn't mean you haven't had the tank filled where the air wasn't "oxygen grade". I'm no cert...

    HP130 for lobster diving and spear fishing

    Ok, I'm sure you're getting a lot of opinions. For us, we go steel, hands down. We carry far less weight than most people and trim is a lot better, and easier, to achieve. Personally, I saw no benefits to buying Aluminum other than they're cheaper and may require less care, but we take care of...
