    Need help with an Aqua Lung i550C

    I picked up a new AL i550C dive computer. The owner of the dive shop I got it from in Texas said he'd set it up for me for recreational diving at not charge. I said sure! When I got home I went through the setups. Nothing seemed out of the norm. On my third dive I got a VIOL violation...

    Considering changing my Aqua Lung i3 inflator to a AL powerline Inflator

    My wife and I each have an Aqua Lung Axiom i3 BCD. The i3 control system has a lever connected to the BCD that connects to the LPI. This enables me to inflate/deflate my BCD by moving the lever up & down. Very simple, easy peasy! Prior to my Covid adventure this systems worked great with no...

    Update on my Covid EEC Flow therapy

    I've completed 20 of my 25 EEC flow therapy sessions as I'll finish up next week. Prior to the treatments the littlest bit of exertion could put me down for a couple of hours. I'm walking three miles a day most days during the week. This weekend I bought another horse for my wife as her horse...

    I was in the hospital for 40 days with covid, 16 of those days in the ICU and 6 on a ventilator. During an office visit about 45 days after being released my lung doctor noticed I didn't have much air entering my right lung. My x-ray showed my right lung elevated as well as the diaphragm. He...

    Have you ever used scuba equipment you absolutely hated!

    I travel a ton in my job (well until Covid hit), if there's blue ocean waters chances are I'll build time in for a few dives if I can manage it. Until last year I used to rent most of my dive equipment for dives. This means I've tried a bunch of different equipment and manufactures over the...

    Bored, self quarantined, how many still use snorkels

    OK, I'm bored out my mind. Can't binge watch much more TV. Question, other than snorkeling, how many still use a snorkel when diving? For me, it's probably been ten years or more since I've attached my snorkel to my mask strap while diving. Just haven't seen a need for it. Actual if I'm...
