    Unsigned dive logs.

    Signatures aren't important, and there's really no good reason to keep a paper log book anyway. Just takes up space. I did have a paper log back during the dark ages, but that's long gone now. I keep all the info in a database, as the dive info is relevant to the photos I took on the dive. All...

    Down Currents.. how real of a threat?

    I got caught in one in the Philippines a couple of years ago. Full wing, and kept going down. Finally eased off, and I kicked up. If there was a wall, I never saw it. Not too bad, 110 ft.

    Dive Alert Repair

    I just had similar problem, and a few minutes of blasting restored much of the sound. Ultrasonic cleaner, or soaking in salt removal solution might help. Won't know until I get back home and try.

    Safe Diving with Scientists

    The US has dive safety rules? I've never heard of any other than certification. Please enlighten me with a list of such rules.

    Replacing power inflator--will any old zip ties do?

    New ones are better than old. Use wider, say 1/4"

    Diving in Tulamben Bali

    I like Scuba Seraya, nice, on beach, quiet, low key. Also check out Villa Markessa, next door. Tulamben Wreck Divers in "town", has a nice pool for relaxation. Close to "everything" and across street from Liberty wreck. There are others, but I know only these. Wherever you stay, you will...

    left or right?

    In Philippines now for 2 months. First time I went diving in Western Pacific was the last time I went to the Caribbean, or even cared to go. Mu. ch more to see, 10 times the number of species. Also consider Indonesia. You will find diving cheaper than Caribbean and stronger focus on service...

    Cam band weight pockets

    Good for waist strap. Not so good for cam band, too big. For cam band, get the cheap XSscuba weight pockets, which hold maybe 3 lbs. I use 4 of these on cam bands, mounted upside down so can at least release 2 of the weights in emergency. Never had to do it though in hundreds of dives, and...

    Do you dive with a knife? How about a big knife?

    Carry Japanese swords for all I care. Just stay on your side of the country.

    Lembeh / Black Sands ... should i bother bringing Wide Angle lens/port?

    Been in Lembeh many times. Never found need for WA, and just leave it home. Water clarity usually requires camera to be very close to subject, like 2 ft or less. Would work though if you want to do some close-up WA, say for wonderpus and such. Bunaken, though, has much better water clarity...

    Leisurepro bait and switch

    Something not right here. I've never seen anything like this with LeisurePro, and I've never heard of them doing "bait and switch". I've dealt with them for nearly 20 years, and have only good things to say. Looks to me like an over-reaction for what is likely "user error" or some other...

    Things That Almost Bit You

    In Mexico, had an elephant seal sneak up on me and chew on my shoulder, playfully, thank goodness. In Fiji, there was one anemone fish that tried removing all the fingertips from my gloves, and my fingertips as well. Had to keep my hands in fists. Made photography quite difficult. If anemone...

    PADI vs NAUI

    Macht nichts. It's the instructor that matters.

    Opinions about our itinerary (Bohol-Panglao-Siquijor-Apo-Cebu-Malapascua)

    Just my opinion, but for two weeks I would go two places max, possibly three if really pushed. Too much time out of the water moving from place to place. The Panglao boats go to Siquijour, and I think Apo Island beats both of them. Apo Island nightlife is, of course, without parallel, as there...

    trouble recovering bc from pool bottom

    You will likely never need to do this again. If it actually happens, let your buddy get the gear. I ditched mask lenses and switched to soft contact lenses, which will stay put if you squint, but they will absorb water and the ocean is hardly sterile. Best to avoid this situation. If...

    Padi Master scuba diver

    The real advantage is PADI's, making more money by selling you a card you don't need. I have one of course, but got it 20 years ago, when I was more impressionable.

    Cialis - recent DAN article

    When I go to the DAN page, there's no content listed under the article title. Check this, which has a contrary perspective. http://www.scuba-doc.com/tenfootstop/?p=221 Also some info here: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/ask-dr-decompression/344087-cialis.html

    Nudibranch ID help please

    Starting to look that way. I have about 600 in the queue from last Nov-Dec. A lot of work for naught.

    Mares Abyss 1/2" LP Hose

    Well, I'm confused, and perhaps you can set me straight on this. I don't claim to know much about regulators. I have Miflex hoses on my Mares MR44 Abyss, no adapter fittings, and their regulator hoses come in 5 ft. length, as well as 7 ft. Is the MR22 a different fitting size? I have 2 I...
