Hello divers! Air temperatures are dropping bellow 0 °C/32 °F these days, there can be ice and snow on the land. I don't have any problems with cold feet in the water (which is about 6 °C/43 °F) - I can do first dive 50-60 minutes without any problem. However, I cannot stand the cold during...

I've searched a couple threads but not really found any great answers: can I store my full (~2000PSI) steel tanks in a 0° or below garage in the winter? I see plenty of threads about not storing your full tanks in the sun/heat... but not the other way around. I would think the only risk is to...

I see that my Signature Series First Stage is certified to the EN250 standard, rather than EN250A. Based on that, is it correct to assume that I should be getting myself a second first stage and using an H-valve or learning to dive doubles if I want to dive in cold and/or deep water?

This isn't strictly diving related, but it affects long surface swims... I've developed a weird problem with only my left sinuses. Cold air and rapid airflow through my left nostril causes strong discomfort from mid-nasal down to the top of the left palate. The sensation is like breathing in...

I was recently acting as the divemaster trainee (supervised by an instructor) guiding 3 highly experienced tourist divers at Nusa Penida in Bali. The first dive was something of a nightmare, with none of the tourist divers following proper buddy procedures and one displaying very poor buoyancy...

Baseline Story: This weekend we all under estimated our need for thermal protection and it eventually cost us our planned third dive. Longer version: In November, we dove a local spring fed quarry. It was cold, but we all wore hoods and the biggest annoyances were the impaired hearing at the...

Hi all I want to go diving after work and leave my gear in the car during the day. The weather is between 10-20degF. Should all of the gear (BCD, Regs, etc..) be fine being left in those temperatures? Note:The gear will have time to warm up while I drive (about an hour) to the dive site.

Hi everyone I would really aprciate your help. My boyfriend and I did a dive 2 days ago and the next morning he woke up feeling a little sick. It didn't worry us much he just seemed a bit under the weather but not serious. We went for another dive that afternoon and as we were acending he was...

I'm going to Galapagos in April and doing 20 dives. I'm reaching out to other women out who may have circulation issues and get extremely cold. I have a dry suit but have concerns about taking it on such a trip because I have had seals break unexpectedly and I'm afraid if that happened I would...
