    Question about light absorption - Depth vs lateral distance

    So we all know that certain frequencies get absorbed by depth, Red, orange, and yellow being the first to go in that order. However, does that still apply, say if two divers are at 50' depth, approx 30' lateral distance with excellent visibility from each other ? Reason I'm asking is I've...

    How do I juggle my computer, a camera, and a light with two hands ?

    Probably an awfully dumb question, but.. II'll be diving inside structures ( 727 airplane, school bus, quarry processing buildings) and want to take some some hand held video of the adventure. It gets darker inside these at depth, with limited visibility so a light is a very good thing. So...

    Lakes and Quarries in Western Ma / Western CT ?

    No interest,? No divers in the western MA, NW CT area ? Living in Memphis TN, there's alot of lakes and quarries within easy driving distance, and the gulf coast of Alabama and Florida makes for a sweet three day weekend. I was hoping to come home and dive somewhat locally, but this sure...

    Mares Dive Organizer questions - Feet vs meters / air vs nitrox

    I figured it out, under the DIVER tab, in the lower portion of the screen you will see the info for the current diver. the selection UNITS OF MEASURE is where you change that. It appears to default to Meters and Celsius. so you may want to change that if you want feet / Fahrenheit

    Mares Dive Organizer questions - Feet vs meters / air vs nitrox

    First question, after importing my dive log from my Puck, Die Organizer shows temperature in Celsius vs Fahrenheit, and depth in meters vs feet. I cant seem to find where to change both of these to what I would like to see. Also, on two dive in my LDS pool (15' max) one shows as Air and the...

    Does the Aqualung Zuma have additional weight pocket accessories ?

    I've currently got 16 lbs in the Zuma and I'm still positive on the surface. I'm 215, 6' 1", using an Aqualung Aquaflex 5M suit. The Zuma weight pockets will only hold up to a 4 lb weight due to the physical size, 5lb's is too large to fit, to I've got two 4's in each side. Still cant...

    Diving the Congamond Lakes in Southwick MA?

    The more I research this, the more its NOT going to be a beginners dive by a long shot, so at the present time I'm biting off way more than I can chew. A long way off to be safe at the very least. But the spark of the adventure of it is still going to be there. The new info about the 60'...
