https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wim_Hof also, being originally from russia with strong traditions of finnish sauna, nothing feels better than a snow/ice water plunge. agreed about placebo and humans though :) i remember looking for peered reviewed articles on benefits of sauna and did not find...

i would only recommend that your octo is the same quality as your primary 2nd stage (in other words quality wise octo = primary). yes it's more expensive that way but it's worth it. as far as brands - scuba pro has a very good reputation with widely available services.

found my answer on Youtube. It's neat as it does various combos. Wonder what's the burn time. Manufacture site mentions 250 hrs. wonder if true

have you used it underwater? if so, any issues?

does the light illuminate the cone body of the unit or the light is only coming/emitting from the circle front part? if it only comes front, it would be hard to be seen unless facing the head of the light.

hi all, looking for a dive beacon / marker to keep an eye on my dive buddy (and vice versa) in low vis environment or night diving. Also, when diving with my daughter, she gets easily distracted and can follow a fish during a night dive, so i need to make sure she is in my field of view. I only...

Hello im planning a trip to Victoria in August 2024 (17-24) and looking for a dive buddy. Not familiar to the area at all but have plenty of cold water diving experience. Will likely rent a car. Will bring my own gear except weights and tanks. Any recommendations for a dive club or a dive shop...

i don't know about the specific exposure wear you're mentioning. Diving around Boston, I used 7 mm full suit with 5 mm hooded vest under. Worked ok. When switching to 5 mm step-in hooded vest on top of the suit (instead of hooded vest under) worked better. That configuration gives 12 mm to your...

checking the usage on packaging, Type A states polyurethane (among other things) and Type B states vinyl only. Considering the bladder I have is made of polyurethane, i'd think type A should be used. I will call OMS to be sure what the bladder is made of but i believe it's polyurethane.

thanks a lot for useful suggestions. Will check tenacious tape and tear aid. as far as comments many of you made (which was my gut feeling as well) - using the same material as a patch (in my case polyurethane, assuming here). Where do you get that same material (other than buying old/broken...

hi all and thank you for reading. i've found a source of air leaks from my OMS 32 lbs wing - several mini cuts of the same length close to each other, and there is another on on the other side (same area of the wing, just opposite side). Not 100% sure how it happened as the shell has no visible...

you can add pocket/s to the harness. i assume it's a 2 inch webbing so there are tons of options for pockets. OMS, Dive rite, etc etc sell diff size pockets. The wing on Ali link in the OP definitely needs an STA. STA is always a good thing to have especially for cold water diving although...

yes, aqua cat has plenty of openings for a single person

hi all planning my very 1st Liveaboard in Caribbeans. I'm prone to seasickness but will load up on Dramamine. Want to see if it's something i can tolerate and expand to far away places in the future or if it's a miserable experience and I should stick to the land. Planning for Aug 2024...

hi all, investigating an option of doing a live aboard in Galapagos in April 2024 with land stops and excursions. Does anyone have any suggestions of an operator that combines both? Has anyone does a trip that was split ~50/50 between diving and land explorations? Thank you

i've actually met someone who was a freelance traveling around South America and was in Guayaquil and she approached travel agencies daily and over a period of 2-3 days she was able to get a spot for ~2K. So i do believe this approach works but you have you be (a) risk taker, (b) have several...
