You begin with identifying why you want to expand your diving beyond no-stop time limits. Ask yourself what do you want to see and why? Where do you want to go and why? And most importantly "am i willing to take significant risks knowing that it can turn bad?" And, if you have a family "do i...

well close ---- Hank Garvin was a good friend of mine and I was around when he first designed the Garvin Hook -- it was originally manufactured by Aqua Explorers in NY. The Garvin Hook was designed to be used with a Jon Line (named by Jon Hulbert) for doing stops while on an anchor line...

Thanks ! Appreciate the link. Being 100 yards from the anchor line is about right. Depending on the scope of the anchor rode, the swing of the vessel, the final weight of the victim, and whether or not there was much current, 300 feet away is about spot on. I recall when we dropped a...

I was not aware that Key Largo Fire and Rescue had a deep water mixed gas dive rescue team. Few departments around the country have that capability. Usually it is done either by a commercial dive operation, one of the fed agencies like FBI, Navy or NOAA, or an all volunteer team of qualified...

Anyone know who were the divers who recovered Stewart?

B-29 Bomber Dives are Open Again for 2017 Come Dive the B-29 this season. After a small hiatus during the fall we are now scheduling guided dives for the B-29 Superfortress on the bottom of Lake Mead. We have a limited number of dives available under our permit so make your reservations...

I only carry one certification card, TDI Advanced Trimix Instructor Trainer, If i cant get on a boat with that then I take out the American Express card, that usually does the trick. :yeahbaby: At the end of the day you show your highest certification level you have. If you do NOT want to...

Is there a particular reason you are planning to tumble a Faber 85 ? I have some Fabers dating back to 1995 and never have needed any kind of destructive cleaning. The only time a cylinder may need tumbling is if a certified cylinder inspector believes it is warranted. Faber cylinders...

I have a new 5/4 is the bomb --best 5mm i have ever used -- the seals keep water in and warm -- used it in waters as cool as 60f for up to an hour with a hooded vest !

October 12, 1992 Twenty-Three Years – Chris and Chrissy Rouse Something was not right today. I’ve been off center and unfocused. I’m getting things done, but something was gnawing at me and then as has happened for more than two decades I remember. And now take the pause. The kids are...

Unless doing pool training with OW students I always dive with 2 computers that are matched in brand or algorithm. My go-to everyday units are (2) Cochran EMC-20H My next set are Scuba Pro Galileo Sol and ScubaPro Aladin2 (aladin in pocket) and the third set are 2 Liquivision XEO...

It is tragic when one of our community members falls. It is even more tragic when they fall and can no longer get up. Despite our abilities, talents, confidence, and skills we enter the water each time knowing that we are a guest in an alien world. Lynne was a formidable feature within the...

Can narcosis cause panic ? Some of the symptoms of inert gas narcosis include: visual disturbances, perception narrowing, euphoria, etc. Much of this has to do with slowing down information processing in the brain. When information slows down so does everything else. Think about when one...

Inert gas narcosis is insidious. The physiology of it causes the brain to process information more slowly putting one into a stupor. Jacques Cousteau described it as the "rapture of the deep” and coined the facetious gas law, “Martini's Law." Stating that when diving on air each 50 feet of...

Greetings, This is one of those interesting posts where one clearly knows the reasons why a situation went bad yet is seeking some kind of validation from others for a minor action they chose to take. This is a common reaction professionals in my industry see more often than not. Let’s...

The B-29 is getting a lot of media attention around the nation. The first part of the season has been great. Visibility has been good and due to the shallower depth there is plenty of ambient light reaching the site. We have added RECREATIONAL EXPOSURE dives to the calendar to give access to...

We have been out on the site a few times since we were granted the permit. The weather has not been overly kind to us in April so there were some days we sat at the dock. Visibility is pushing 50 feet. The quaggas we do not view as an issue as they are not attaching to everything. Though...
