    Free parking at Back Beach?

    Dived Back Beach on Saturday and chuckled at the row of headless parking meters looking like the opening scene from Cool hand Luke. It's been a while since I dived here so maybe this is all old news to some of you but the parking meters, that have been such a prominent feature of my many dives...

    Regulator Freezing

    OK, I know that regulators do not freeze (they are made of metal, plastic & other soft bits and are therefore, by definition, already frozen) but I got you attention, because I have a question regarding regulator icing: I understand (I think) the discussion on piston vs. diaphragm, sealed vs...

    How to clear an Atmos AI?

    I have an Atmos AI which I love, but has recently started to give me problems while downloading. Often it will fail to identify the last dive then, when I've added another dive or 2 to it, the "missing" dive will appear and download just fine. When I look back at the dive index, I see some dives...
