Actually Once the water gets warm (60 degrees) I keep the Under Armor base and drop the 4th element for my old thinsulate

I have to agree with Marie13 Northern MN under ice and cold water I use Under Armor base with 4th Element "Artic" beats the thinsulate I used for years prior to getting the Fourth Element I have now been using for 6 years.

Maybe hooking up with your dive shop for a part time position. Keeps you in touch with divers and gives you a chance to share your knowledge with newer divers, another would be checking your area for a dive squad that may be in need of a topside tender, experienced people are hard to find ; Good...

My two cents worth I have been using back inflate BC for over 25 years and am currently on my third. I have never had an issue being forced face down by inflation. The new BC's have trim pockets that when balanced out with the integrated weights you can do face up flotation and surface head up...

Just happened to dive with Gary today & teased him about the story. Actually pretty accurate depiction of our area, if you are interested we did a segment with Mike Rowe and Dirty Jobs called Ice salvage if you want to check out what we do for fun in the winter here

Lots a talk about these in previous posts. If you look there is no filtering system for scuba. By the time you get all the necessary parts you will be into it for more than a quality built actual scuba compressor. Used Bauer, Coltri, and Max Air show up frequently for decent prices. $1,500.00...

I forgot to mention on some of the ebay stickers depending which ones as it appears you have tried, I had to warm the stickers with a hair dryer to get them to stick Might want to try that trick especially the red ones.

2-air I know exactly where your at. I have been trained to do visuals myself for years and use my own compressor. However every once in a while I need a LDS to fill when travelling. Go to Ebay and punch in Scuba visual inspection sticker and you will find a pretty decent selection. No where...

Thanks for the update. Now for the healing

I too don't think you necessarily were narced. Others have touched on it but you appeared to have had a large dose of Adrenalin boost. The factors started multiplying as the dive went on. 1- Restricted vis from the light, 2- At a depth of 80 feet, 3- the free flow began. With adrenalin...

To answer tbzep how about we start a different thread on that question. On this one is the focus on getting one of Buffalo's own back home with the safety of the current teams working the sight. I am sure the final questions will be answered in the future and more specifically PSD Mag. as they...

Thanks for the updates be safe!

Dizzi- The tender line is usually a rope that is tied to the diver back to the tender on shore/or boat. If you look at the diver photo you will see he has a harness underneath the B/C with multiple D rings. It appears that this team uses through water comms, some use hard wire which is also...

Wouldn't it be nice if a few may look in a mirror and say to themselves- What kind of person am I vs. What kind of person do I want to be? just a thought

2air- Very well put! The only thing I could add is I try my best at different dive locations when folks walk up is to take the extra few minutes and discuss diving with them. Most will never try but you just never know. By being treated the way you described years ago has taught me to know what...

Citylod: Dr. waited about a month to see if nature would take its' course. Healing on the eardrum was over 2 months. I think the toughest issue was the sound of the sloshing or hollowness that she experienced prior to the surgery. Hope yours does not require the surgery hoping the best for you.

My wife experienced what occurred to you. Dr. ended up performing surgery (basically perforating the eardrum) to relieve the pressure and blood from the middle ear. I don't think anybody other than professional medical can give you a time line on healing.

Have had this condition since childhood. Been diving since 1971. Mine is rather loud on any given day, doesn't get aggravated even with deeper 100 plus feet having said that if I focus on it I hear it louder, just a fact I have learned to live with. If you think yours may be aggravated by 2nd...

My diving on Cayman Brac was never more than 10 usually 8 or 9 and the DM joining. Boats have lots of room and the crews are excellent folks. Even when the weather got a little snarky they had a contingency dive location.

chuck_ed Just wanted to thank you for your very in depth response. Speculation prior to any official report resolves nothing, the latest update is only the diver surfaced in distress asking for help and submerged before anybody could get to him. I just prefer to wait for facts especially when...
