My son works at a "Norse" spa, and he convinced me to come for a morning with him. Steam, sauna, and cold plunge, awaited me. The steam and sauna I love, but the 8C cold plunge pool, made me realise, the drysuit I dive in every week, is a wonderful thing indeed, as my local waters, are 8C in...

Ya know, someone has to be the 1st to bring it up. There can be only ONE. Shearwater is the answer you are seeking. How much you want to spend on a new computer will determine the model.

Which model did you get?

The Artificial Reef Society of British Columbia, has sunk a number of ships, off the west coast of Canada, for the purpose of diving. Holes are cut in the hull, to facilitate penetration and egress of the wreck, in addition to sanitizing it. All the wiring is removed, anything that could...

The Artificial Reef society of British Columbia, has sunk a number of ships in the waters off BC. They have also acted as consultants with projects all over the world, including down under I believe. Here is their web site: ARTIFICIAL REEF SOCIETY OF BC I watched the HMCS Columbia, when it...

There are quite a few artificial reefs, just north of you in British Columbia.

... that is what Jacque Cousteau said.

Here is the absolutely best guide for diving on Vancouver Island. The local legend who made this guide, does all his dives solo. He updates the guide quite regularly. http://www.victoriabcdiving.com/intro.html

Fair enough ... I saw the thread "Goodman or not to Goodman" and came to have a look .... did not look that it was in the Cave Diving forum. My bad. (I have a hard enough time in a dry cave)

Why would you need to take off a light, to check an SPG ??? I like the fact that I do not have to hold onto my light, and at the same time, I can do, pretty much whatever I want to, with my hand, and still have my light available at an instant.

I have had some issues with condensation under the screen on mine. Having said that, guess which customer service department took care of the problem, promptly. 375 dives on mine; which I purchased in 2020 when they 1st came out. I love the bigger screen format, as opposed to a watch style...

4C ... was that on a deep tech dive? I have not done as many Straight of Georgia dives as you Chris, the inlet or 10 Mile to Sooke is where I have been, so 6-7C has been my coldest. By the way, it's been too long since we have gone diving.

Franks is the only store in Vic with a boat. The FB pages I mentioned, if you use those to question ppl about specific days, you should be able to find someone to buddy up with for a 2nd dive. A lot of times, there are ppl who are willing to do a second dive, and there are ppl who are...

Hi .... ali is what you need. The steel tanks, yes have better buoyancy characteristics, however, if you are switching to your pony, you are on your way up anyway and buoyancy is not an issue. My 1st pony, was a 13cu Ali Catalina tank, which was great for shallow, and being only OW at the...

A pony bottle, is not intended to solve skills problems. They can however, do that by the simply being available when you need it; in that case, usually due to diver error. A pony bottle, is NEVER included in one's dive planning. A rec diver, does not always have to dive with a buddy; it's...

The Kool-Aid is strong in that one.
