    Question Why can I find only one very large (30l) air tank?

    What are you using the pony for? I hope not to bail out on “several times a week”.

    DSMB Technique

    i use a second LP hose too, 26” long and clipped to the D-ring on my left waist. That way I can keep the SMB, spool, and line well out in front of and away from me.

    DSMB Technique

    I wouldn’t want the DSMB that close to my body while filling it from an LP hose.

    Experience from night Divers

    Always a surprise the first time that happens! You never even know they're behind/over you until there's a flash over your shoulder and the little fish you were watching disappears!

    Suggestion Easy way to filter out “For Sale” posts from “New Posts”

    Question Only Instructor wears dive computer (extra charge if I want one)

    Understanding something of the physics and physiology of inert gas absorption is important, but I see no indication that "teaching the tables" provides that. They were a necessary way to summarize a lot of data prior to the advent of PDCs, but using them is a simple rote process, not a lesson in...

    Question Suggestions for First Non-Caribbean Dive Trip

    I was at the Red Sea in March in 2019 and found it to be cold with not much fish life around. Getting there wasn't much of an issue. The Maldives have a great reputation and I had a trip booked for this spring until I started researching the flights and found that with the various layovers they...
