Fatality, per multiple news reports. Woman dies after diving at San Carlos Beach in Monterey | Local News - Central Coast News KION

What part of "don't harass the wildlife" is difficult to understand?

Hey, I heard a rumor that the USAT Liberty suffered damage in a storm a few days ago and wasn't terribly diveable at the moment... Anyone there who can confirm or quash? -Ben

So... Here's a long shot. I'm going to be on Bon and am trying to put together a rescue class on a very limited schedule. I'm looking at the week between July 28th and August 2nd (and am planning on doing AOW earlier in that week). I've got an awesome instructor, Bas, from VIP Diving down to...

I had a similar experience with Telerin. We rented two trucks earlier this year... one had a flat tire, crappy brakes, a VERY high clutch and webbing (only 3 of 4 corners attached) as a "tailgate". The other had equally crappy brakes, a VERY low clutch and a tailgate that took two mechanical...

Hey There! Your length and detail totally appropriate for the forum and I think folks would be very interested to hear how the day progressed! Glad you're safe and can reflect on it. -Ben

Regarding the comments that "DAN told him it wasn't DCS!"... Rereading the OP's narrative, DAN didn't tell him that it wasn't DCS, but rather, in the OP's own words, that they didn't suspect it was DCS at that point and that he should call them back in the AM, which he didn't do. Thankfully he...

For what it's worth, the chamber on Bonaire is damn near new, is well-staffed, holds multiple divers and is top of the line. We went for a tour last year and were impressed. The things that occupy your surface interval when your partner is a hyperbaric researcher... -Ben

Thanks Rob. Wasn't my dive or my video. I just got the link in my email from a friend of a friend of a friend...

Not my video... Mark Maloney appears to have been the 'victim' diver. Be careful out there. -Ben 5P5zHhrWKWA

All- I've had some wireless transmitter failures lately with my Vyper Air and while I'm "working with" (banging head against wall...) Aqualung Service on this, I'd like to have a backup SPG on my tank. I've got an extra HP line, so really I just need the old SPG you've got sitting in your dive...

Where'd you find the Octo?

Sweet! I'll be there in a month! Aug 4th to 12th...

on bonaire you'd be hard-pressed to be more than 5 minutes from a dive site by car.

some weeks united offers a SUNDAY return flight (and i assume sunday stupidly early am departure, too, given the conservation of mass laws apply to airplanes... hmm) to IAH. one more day of diving!

The US notice just came across my email from leisurepro... XS Scuba - Miflex Safety Recall

I got the US post today. XS Scuba - Miflex Safety Recall

@SeaCobra, et. al., I happen to have a video of what happens to a digital pressure gauge when your tank is only cracked. I experienced oddness on my Vyper Air pressure readings and, obviously, my first thought was to document it rather than evaluate the root cause. Brilliant. Anyway, I...

last two weeks... 84 every day, 0 -> 130 ft! -Ben

Oh, and while I have no prior trips to reference, the mosquitos are really aggressive in mornings and evenings. Worse than Curaçao, for sure. But way fewer lion fish here in Bon, so I'll take it.
