Dang Dave, you may have to make a trip. :rofl3:

Let's get the volunteer divers and I'll work something out.:wink: or we can just do the testing here in the lovely Catalina waters.:wink:
 
Don't forget diving's biggest myth: drysuits.
 
SCUBA diving is an awesome way for a person to get over their fear of water!
 
if you dive with equipment on retractors....you will die.
 
You lose 90% of your body heat through your head.
 
How about:
If you fill a tank with Nitrox, it must be O2 clean first or the whole shop will blow up.
or
Will water get into a tank if it is brought back on board with only 100 psi.
or
How dirty can a tank be before it will explode when filling with pure O2.

Debunked. I just spent two weeks diving with someone with gauges on a retractor and in spite of my best efforts she not only survived, but enjoyed the trip immensely! :wink:

We'll have to try that one in Catalina. It's not cold enough here to verify. Water temp is averaging 88*

Don't forget diving's biggest myth: drysuits.

We'll have to save that one for Catalina also. Bet we can come up with some p-valve myths as well... :hm:
 
If you take a e-learning class, you will not learn anything.
 
Does the air pressure on the INSIDE of a scuba tank increase as the diver ascends?
