Just saw this post now. Condolences on the loss of your good friend. Something that I pickud up on the forums a while back, struck a chord with me, may be what you're looking for: If I should die beneath the sea - What e'er the circumstance may be - I...

Will be in that area next week, so would appreciate any info on where to get a couple of dives in. TIA Seadeuce

Check the following link: BC BUDDY TEKWING LITE - Divernet Not the Commando, but may give you an idea of construction and feedback. I have dived with a Commando Profile for years and have carried it to all corners of the world. It does what you expect of it and is bulletproof. But be sure to...

Yes, that will help. Less pressure differential. If you are near the bottom when you feel you're overbreathing, it can also help if you have your knees drawn up towards your chest, i.e. in a kneeling position, crouched over. You will find normal breathing will return much faster as you press...

Technically that may be right, but it's the feeling of the reg's being unable to deliver air when needed that's the perceived problem. Seadeuce

Forgive me for being late on entering this discussion, but I feel there is a relevant point to be made. The OP asked about how and if overbreathing a reg. could happen. The replies have explained - to some extent - the answer to his question. Rather than get all technical about regs and the...

Sure hope she does well Seadeuce

Heartfelt condolences and hope your brother has found peace Seadeuce

Just a quick word on diving the DR. As an experienced diver I would say that the DR will not compare with the Pacific or Red Sea in terms of reefs or life thereon. But it will certainly allow comfortable, chill-out diving. Of course there are better sites to be had in the Caribbean, but the...

Haven't read such a reflective thread in a long time. Engaging. Even though I'm late on this one I feel the following is appropriate. Surprised it hasn't been posted here before now. Kinda sums up my feelings and may well do the same for others: If I Should Die Beneath The Sea If I should die...

I have good memories of Serbia. Nice people. Interesting footage there, some good archaeology! There must be some current in that river to not allow silt to build up on the bottom. I have logged Sava in my memory bank if I ever get to return Thanks for that Seadeuce

I think maybe you missed my point... What happens if one bullet shatters a window? Pressure inside plane about 7,500-8,500ft, outside plane 35,000ft. That differential would cause a serious problem. Or do you have that well thought out? My mention of stun guns was to emphasise that...

Knee-jerk reactions are usually the result of emotionally-charged decision-making, not rational thinking. Why create another problem trying to fix an existing one? Issuing firearms may sound and feel as if it would make life more secure, but not at 35,000ft. Imagine what one stray shot...

Looks like a Flag Cabrilla (Epinephelus labriformis) Seadeuce

Thanks for that Vlad. Good to see the diving is popular over there. If you have anyone cancel out let me know. Cattle boats are not what I call a good dive experience. Seen them before. Seadeuce

I will be at the Palace Dominicus Hotel from 12 - 18th of next month along with my family (all non-divers). Am looking to do a few dives with a dive-op who allows for diver experience. IOW will take you to the more interesting sites rather than drop you in the convenient 40ft on-sand divesites...

Sorry for jumpin' in here gents, but ya can send the CV67 back to Ireland. Be good ta see her again. When she was last here we managed to put a nice hole in her hull which delayed her departure. We would sincerely welcome her and maybe sink her in 67m ensuring a fitting end as a living...

Was on the Odyssey a few years back. They run a good operation, but tailor it to the clientele they have onboard. I was lucky to have experienced divers aboard the week I went, and the Cap'n said - at the initial brief - "This week we're gonna do the dives that WE want to do!" The "WE" meaning...

Just to clarify here - if you are at depth then CO2 toxicity can hit you quickly if your breathing is shallow due to exertion. IOW you are not exhaling deeply enough. Having had that experience (due to a downcurrent) I can vouch for the symptoms - overwhelming tiredness in one moment, next step...
