Best scuba advice you’ve received

[Cthippo]

You mean weighted correctly for end of dive. We have BCD's to use as so being slightly over weighted easily dealt with, being under weighted with uncontrolled ascent not good.

I had this last week on a dive. I did a coupel of of dives that day and was trying to run a little less weight. The first dive with a steel 95 I struggled to get to the bottom, but was mostly OK afterwords. On the second one with my Steel 72 I had to really work to get down and coming up the bottom on the way back hit 10 feet and I was going for an uncontrolled ride. Lesson learned: It's better to be a little over weighted than a lot overweighted, but better to be a lot over than a little under. I can manage too much weight, I cannot manage too little.

You're only as good as your last dive.

When and where was your last dive?

My best advice was from the former owner of my LDS:
“There is no such thing as bad dive gear. Only bad gear choices for any given dive.”

Best scuba advice here on Scubaboard, as I was returning to diving after having stopped for over twenty years:

1-Backplate/wing
2-Long hose/necklace
3-Shearwater Perdix AI

Avoid Mexican food, especially meals heavy on beans, the night before a planned long decompression dive.

EDIT: I never actually got this advice. There are things you learn from advice and things you learn from experience. I suggest the rest of you learn this from advice.

As soon as I saw this post, without seeing the poster, I KNEW it had to be from Happy, who I always call Hippy as he’s GOT to be on something. Happy’s posts amazingly make more sense than some other nonsense posted.
