    Deep Diving on Air

    Wow no one has jumped on this one yet? Charlie what is your cert level? were you taking a tec class? what did you have for redundent air? Why would you want to push the limits of any aspect of scuba diving with out the proper training and gear, let alone diving deep and on air?

    Cyclops Shark!

    The article I read said the shark was real and the necropsy found the ocular tissue would have functioned but that it most likely would not have survived in the wild very long.....

    See, its good to have a SMB in the open ocean

    As I understand it the practice of using red, yellow and even green SBS is more a tec and Euro skill set. I am sure I am getting this wrong but if my rather limited memory serves me correctly is goes something like this. Red up means beginning ascent to the top, green is at o2 deco. And yellow...

    Disappointed

    Aside from accepting vagary and misdirection from someone who has demonstrated (based on your reporting) an inability or unwillingness to provide appropriate services for the money they received from you have no more responsibility or fault. I would however if I was in your position tell him to...

    Questions about lobsters

    Man you left coasters are a strange lot. Lobsters with no claws? Lobster nooses? lol Sheesh, grab it (the hardest part cuz those tings look like sea monsters under water! lol), gauge it, band it, bag it and repeat! I have found the best place to keep them is in a very large pot with potatoes...

    Disappointed

    can I ask why you waited till the last minute to take a scuba class for a trip you presumably knew about long before booking your class on the "we'll do what we can" credo? Maybe he did what he could and still no dice on pool time. Get a referral for a shop down where you will be diving and...

    Avalon Sucks

    Hear in Vermont, we tell a similar sorry about the skiing. Let me explain further; If you live in Boston or New York, NH and MA skiing is much closer. The gas prices are far less expensive in NH as well. Then once you get hear you will find the "quaint VT lodging" you payed $400 a night for...

    Newbie camera help - Canon T3i vs Canon VIXIA HF G10

    I have never noticed any excess heating my T2i but then again I have never had it in a housing for a prolonged period of time. I know a bunch of the UW photogs I dive with (again I dont take my good camera UW) place their rigs in a cooler (usually the drink cooler. I dont know why?) on the boat...

    Newbie camera help - Canon T3i vs Canon VIXIA HF G10

    So a few things to consider; I use the T2i for above water photo and video work (it is the same camera without the vary-angle lcd screen. I would recommend you think twice about the pivoting lcd as a BIG failure point on an expensive camera. Aside from that the T2i and T3i are AMAZING and...

    Diving off of your own boat

    As an diver and an EMT I will comment from that perspective. Although the comment about defibrillation and not CPR saving lives is true (meds and electricity are 80%+ more effective then CPR) it may not be practical on a dive boat for two reasons (that is not to say they are not there and used)...

    Housing for the PowerShot SX20 IS

    Just seeing this post now and as the camera sold locally to an older Greek man about to go to Europ for a vacation it is no longer avalable. It it were I would have to agree withthe above post. Its probably no longer a viable option for diving unless you already have the housing and know it...
