    Do they actually ask you to empty your pockets?

    T & C - Check your luggage!

    Actually, we get quite a few tourists here in New Jersey, especially in summer at the beaches. We get loads of Canadians and New Englanders, as well as people from dismally dull oceanless places like Ohio. Do you really think that these tourist places let you possess gunpowder? Or reloading...

    T & C - Check your luggage!

    I just take the needed number of pills in tiny zip lock bags and put them in my pockets.

    Guess the PSI

    I wouldn't either, but that's what it appears to read. I never let my tanks get anything near that low.

    Advice on Scubapro regs: Mk25 EVO/D420 vs MK19 EVO/ D420

    I dive in waters that have a fair amount of sand and debris, so I use a Mk19 (with a D350) because of the superior sealing. Otherwise, there is no qualitative difference between the two first stages you are considering. Both are excellent, tough as nails, and will perform brilliantly.

    Sometimes the night dive just gets weird...

    Psychedelic psylocibin mushrooms are legal in Jamaica. Some resorts now offer them to their customers as part of a package arrangement. I was able to legally buy 'magic mushrooms' there decades ago at certain restaurants and shops. Very nice.

    Non Diving DCS Death

    A number of sandhog workers were killed by decompression sickness while building the Holland Tunnel connecting NJ and NYC. The tunnel was completed in 1927. DCS hits and deaths were not uncommon during deep underwater tunnel construction back in the day, before the risks were fully understood...

    “Duty of Care” when taking others on personal vessel, to dive

    Although it was many years ago, I was able to purchase medical grade oxygen for transporting marine reef fishes from the Caribbean to the states.

    “Duty of Care” when taking others on personal vessel, to dive

    The FDA considers pure Oxygen a prescription drug requiring a health care script before dispensing for medical purposes. It appears that its use for diving is not considered medical purpose, though it is obviously used for divers in distress.

    My snorkel came in handy on two occasions when a small, unmanned dive boat drifted away.

    For all You Advanced Snorkelers

    The simplest snorkel is the best snorkel. Optimally large bore, simple tube, excellent materials, comfortable mouthpiece, no bells or whistles. I've been snorkeling since Harry Truman was president (really), and that's my experience.

    Dive operator age limits?

    Perhaps my mistake was calling ahead and asking if there was a problem with me being over 80. At 70 I generally had no problems.

    “Duty of Care” when taking others on personal vessel, to dive

    I wonder how many private boat owners carry liability insurance on their boats, and for those who do, how many policies exclude things like scuba diving from the boat.

    “Duty of Care” when taking others on personal vessel, to dive

    The bottom line is that all of these remedies require paying a lawyer to argue your case. Realistically, an individual cannot get dismissals on their own. There is no reasonable way for an individual to seek justice even when the complaint is absurd, and getting compensated for expenses after a...

    Question Could you sleep in an overwater bungalow with no A/C?

    I once stayed for two weeks at a cabin suspended over a cliff 40 feet above the water in Dominica. No air conditioner, no fan, no screens. It was glorious. My little kitchenette looked out over miles of open sea. Nothing like scrambling eggs while a couple of whales splashed a mile offshore. At...

    Shorter duration, fewer hours, less intensive, at least compared to my experience, NASDS 1972.
