I dont know how most divers feel about proper wreck surveys, but, they are a good thing. If they just publish the coordinates without doing a survey they dont know what is at risk. Most divers i know take a hands off approach to wreck diving. I live in Northeast Michigan, not far from the...

that book should keep you busy for a while, all i was brought was one of those quest underwater slates that clear with a pass of a wand, but it should be fine too. as long as the kids don't claim it first. sam

I believe that artifacts from a shipwreck should be left in place unless the wreck is in danger of being sanded or silted in or destroyed by some means, manmade or mother nature. in either case of being sanded in or destroyed, it would be beneficial to retrieve the artifact and put them on...

when i dive with someone new i like to see a DAN sticker on their tank(s). a little piece of mind goes a long way with me. sam

bubbles, i have used my big eyes since spring and have had no problems with it except the anti-fog i use gets under the lip inside the mask and requires a little rinsing to get out after the dive. other than that i am really happy with it. being able to see farther down your profile is very...

hello gp, i have been using my quattros for about 3 months now and no problems, except the buckles take a little to get used to when taking them off. i wear a size 8 shoe and when i recieved my set, they are just a little big so keep that in mind, they fit fine with a 5 mil boot and a pair of...

all divers and firemen on this board should be aware of aluminum tanks made from 1972 to 1988 manufactured by, walter kidde and luxfer, they are made of t-6351 aluminum and are susceptible to this neck cracking from the constant pressure. not only are scuba tanks susceptible but so are SCBA...

hi all i hope everyone is getting in the water enough to suit them. the water in the northeastern michigan is a little cool but it is fairly clear now. my question is i recently aquired a healthways tank and back pack and was wondering if anyone knows who manufactured their tanks for them. the...

i know what i would like to find, i would like to dive this old schooner not too far from home that is not well known to many divers and find the gold watch put back in its place where we placed it several years ago, somehow that old schooner just lost all of its appeal. the watch was one of the...
