The problem (as I see it) with manual inflation of the wing/BCD is that new(er) divers will do anything to avoid taking the regulator from their mouth....it is the worst possible scenario. So, if the LP hose is not working or has blown off, the thought of manually inflating the wing is far from...

One more endorsement of the Whites Thermal Fusion...I use mine with UnderArmour and I am good in Lake Ontario in winter (33 degrees).

I've never had a power inflator fail to inflate my wing but I have had the LP hose blow off (damn those dry gloves and their lack of feel). It's a little disconcerting as you descend a bit too quickly and your ears can't keep up, but with experience you learn to quickly and calmly add a bit of...

I have dove with John and ScubaFun many times and have always had a great week. In my opinion, Bayahibe is one of the most under-rated dive destinations in the world. Penon is still my favourite reef dive of all time.

Great tool if you have taken the time to learn how to deploy one and practice regularly, otherwise the result can be somewhere between "America's Funniest Videos" and a serious diving incident. I have seen folks attempt to deploy an SMB at depth and end up tangled up like a tuna in a fishing...

Viking Classic system...pull the glove over the "sewn-in" suit ring and you are ready to go. No failure points...no lining up the rings before you "click". Simple, elegant and foolproof.

I have never met Christi though based on her well-thought out and eloquently worded posts here, I respect her and would be completely confident diving with her company. However my experience in Cozumel has not exactly dove tailed with her post. My experience on the island is limited (I have...

The body has been recovered(according to news sources). RIP Rob.

Really wanted to give these fins a try but between the currency exchange and the shipping/taxes/duty I am looking at $250.00 Canadian.

I guarantee you a DIN regulator dist cap does not keep water out.

Wouldn't an e-mail to Deep Six be a better route?

Might be sinus squeeze...sometimes pressure in the sinus cavity can manifest as a headache.

The diving in Punta Cana is pretty bad...lot's of surge, not a lot of life on the reef. The best diving in the DR is on the south coast near La Romana in a fishing village called Bayahibe (about an hour south of Punta Cana). Most of the Punta Cana hotel dive operators run day trips to Bayahibe...

Here we go again :-(

Contact Erik at Beyond Diving. He will take good care of you (and you will have a lot of fun while being safe).

I found with 2" spg's I needed "SPG Viagra" ;-)

I do a valve feather "drill" on pretty much every dive (to stay sharp with the skill). It is very easy and I doubt my gas consumption increases at all. In a real emergency it might, but I suspect not very much, given that I practice the procedure so often.

Bayahibe is the town (near La Romana) is the best spot to be for diving. Punta Cana has some dead reef but a lot of surge (not really worth the effort). ScubaFun is my favourite shop in Bayahibe...John has great boats and safe and fun DM's. There is a large Russian freighter called the St...

I would never presume to question a practicing vet but isn't carbon dioxide used as an anesthetic for venomous spiders for milking?

Although I have never encountered a down current I have a personal rule that I won't dive any Nitrox mix on a dive where the hard bottom exceeds the MOD unless I have two independent buoyancy systems. Don't flame me, it is a personal decision, but on wetsuit dives along a wall where a loss of...
