Old thread. I haven't been on here in a long time. He was 187' on bottom when our team recovered him. We brought him to Port Fourchon (Fourchon PD and Lafourche Coroner) so he could go home to his family. I can't seem to post links so like us on Facebook and support out missions.

50/50 alcohol and vinegar mix works perfectly. I put mine in a small nasal saline bottle. The alcohol kills bacteria and drys the ear. The vinegar keeps your ph right. I use it after every dive and if I am in a pool or a closed water environment I use it before as well. 1 Minute for each...

I thought I was clear. I have neo and crushed neo suits that have neo seals. Every add I see shows the rings systems on suits with latex seals. Nothing addresses if the ring systems, (which ones) will mount on neoprene suits with neoprene seals. I want to be able to add dry gloves. Your...

I have 2 DUI CF200 crushed neoprene drysuits and 2 / 7mm Neoprene O'neill drysuits. Are there rings made to use for dry gloves? All 4 suits have neoprene wrist seals. I have Viking Classic rings in my viking heavy duty suit and the gloves that go with it. I really like that and would like...

Shoe goo hold better, lasts longer and costs less than aqua seal. 3M 5200 is a permanent fix that will probably never turn loose.

can you email me at diverecoveries at charter dot net ? I want it. Mark

I have used these lights for several years now. They are not blinding but bright enough to check gauges and wrist mounted computers. They are overpriced on EBay. These are great little lights that don't get in the way. They use a single AAA battery and have a twist on switch. This is a...

OMG!!!! YOU"RE GONNA DIE!!!!!!.............or not. Probably not. But, Aquaseal has a life and will start peeling sometime in the future. When it does, peel the whole patch away and cover the hole and about an inch out with 3M Marine 5200. That's it. It's real simple, no buffing, no hoping...

Faber 95's / 98's. My 108's are even sweeter but no pics yet.

A search and a recovery are 2 different things. At this point no one is even searching. If the water is cold, the body will be mostly likely in the condition that it went down. When decomposition sets in the body floats. Upon locating the body can be marked and then, the authorities can...

A few things to consider: Water temperature is first. Below 40 degrees F a body won't float until it warms up. What was the water temp when he went missing and what is it now? At certain temps there is a delay on decomposition and therefore a delay on being able to float. Generally where a...

Let me be the first to call it :deadhorse:

"PonyPak is not the Zeagle “Rapid Diver”. The RD 20cft is the main tank (for the diver and his BC). The RD’s concept is to “rapidly” put a diver into an unknownemergency situation, with 75% less air, with no redundancy, not even an octo. I still can’t figure out the “benefit” of any of that. And...

Has this diver been located and recovered yet?

A heavy fish, extended cable and about 3 miles an hour is optimal to get that done. Over 70' (searching for a small object like a body) is best left to commercial applications at this point for sure

You can buy a Humminbird. Mine is an 898c SI. I have 2 options for my transducer. 1 is on a moving post. This works much better than the trolling motor mount they sell. If on a river, lake or flats seas it works very well and motor "noise" does not interfere. I also built a tow fish. I...

You made a great point here. Interpretation is the main thing. In a certain direction something can look just like it should if you get the right angle to reflect back. Another direction you may get "that doesn't fit" or just a different color....maybe brighter. Too close, as in a vehicle...

My dive team guys in a local bayou in scuba. Shallow, so the return is not as good as if they had been deeper but obvious just the same. I had them laying near a sunken bass boat that was near a pier. One shows the shadow of his legs and fins. .

He should show. The operators experience and ability to interpret images is a huge benefit to how well a sonar will make a difference. It's not a magic wand, but it is a great tool if the operator has spent time using the unit and keeps a good search grid. Has anyone been inside of the...

In November I worked an operation concerning the crash of a Cessna 172. The last radar coordinates were 1 1/2 miles northeast of the runway in Lk Pontchartrain. The weather was bad. The main search began 6 days and about 12 hours after the crash. We recovered both bodies (depth 16' and temp...
