    Wake up call from a past story

    Invest in quality training and then follow it. Your OW instructor should have impressed upon you the dangers involved in diving while she/he taught you how to mitigate those dangers.

    Out of curiosity, is your tank aluminum or steel?

    decompression the big experiment

    "Deco For Divers" is the best text I have found about this subject. It did a wonderful job of showing me deficiencies and errors in what I thought I knew and it also did a great job of revealing to me how theoretical decompression theory truly is. With that being said, at this point in my diving...

    Peacock Springs renamed for Wes Skiles

    I agree. I am all for honoring Wes, his huge contributions across the sport of diving and his conservation efforts etc. but renaming Peacock after him seems a little strange. It also seems odd that the majority of people have never heard about this idea until now. Why exclude a group of people...

    Going to Bermuda, have questions?

    I'm sorry to hear that Triangle had a fire ruin their boat. My wife and I dove with them last summer and had a wonderful time. The entire staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

    New York City/East coast cold-water certification?

    My wife and I did our confined water dives with Panaqua and then did our OW check out dives down in Florida. We live in Queens and do not own a car so being able to take the subway to the shop, classroom and pool made things easy. They also run a van or shuttle bus out to Dutch Springs when they...

    P valve & condom catheter 101

    Are you folks using anything to secure the end of the catheter to the end of the tube or are you just stretching it over and letting pressure do the job?

    Woman rescued from submerged vehicle

    Job well done. Sadly it is another example of the many ways drunk drivers find to put other people's lives in danger. Even sadder that she won't learn from the event since she was too intoxicated to remember it.

    Deep Solo Wreck Dive

    Great thread, thank you for sharing. From the sound of it you prepared properly for your plan and your dive. What you did not plan or prepare for was choosing to bail out someone else (let alone two other people). Ultimately, some people can't turn off their team diving instincts even if they...

    Mask suggestion

    Proper fit is my priority when it comes to masks so I must try on any mask before I buy it. My local dive shop proved to be very helpful with this. I walked in with my prescription and tried on masks until I found the one that fit my face and accepted prescription lenses. Then the salesman...

    New Logo

    Another word for retro is dated and that is what it feels like to me. It is a shame Dive Rite was not at DEMA or I could have told you then.

    This is it

    People and their emotions are more complex than your simplistic statement. Tell my grandparents that Johnny Carson or Elvis Presley are not worthy of your love or hate.

    What's your plan for keeping warm on your SI?

    Bundle up and make sure to have something that will stop the wind for your top layer. Wear a knit hat! Just like your mother always said, you lose most of your heat out of your head. If you feel the need to brave the deeper colder water then make the second half of your dive shallow so that you...
