    Good tank for me?

    I like the 120, I'm a 5'7 170lb guy and it took a little getting used to that big sucker but once I got the weighting figured out I was pretty happy with the way it dives. It's not as stable as doubles but it's awfully stable for a single tank. Negatives: weight, it's a heavy beast above...

    Sony P9 with HID canister light?

    He has the Light Cannon w/ diffusers and I have the DR can light. Neither of those lights are ideal for taking pics, though the diffusers help with the blue tint of the light canon. The DR light is just too narrow and bleaches out a real tight spot within the frame. He finally added a strobe...

    My DIR assimilation has begun

    You're center of gravity has moved when you're on your back in that manner. You can be completely neutral at any given depth, roll over and with the bp down below your body at the same depth find yourself negative. It's not necessarily overweighting.

    Dry Suit Question

    You'd be surprised, the small volume of air not only keeps you warm it keeps the amazing amounts of pressure that water exerts at various depths from squeezing the life out of you in tender spots. I use my BC for buoyancy and have as small amount of air in my drysuit as possible, but once...

    Diver dies in Sea of Cortez

    I agree it's a tragedy when any diver is lost, and I mean no disrespect to the family, friends, or Mr. Jones who acted heroically to try and rescue/revive the victim. My deepest condolences go out to all of them. As for the analysis of any accident I feel that more should be done to learn...

    Diver dies in Sea of Cortez

    Because you'll never get full access to the investigation. Feel free to stick your head into the sand and pity the no-fault death. It's tragic to lose any diver, but what is truly sad is those that can't get past the touchy-feely issues of blame and remorse to learn lessons from tragedy and...

    Some questions from a newbie.

    Vomitus travels nicely through the diaphragm. Once convulsions are complete remove reg and purge any big chunks, replace and resume breathing normally. You can still breathe from a free-flowing reg and may get a chance during your class to try this out. As for lift you don't use the bc to...

    Cold Water Diving Equipment?

    Air temps in the summer can be in the mid 70s or better, I was thinking currently. Highest water temp I recorded this summer was 53, that was in a protected bay that doesn't exchange much water with the tidal flow. Another choice for drysuits is compressed neoprene, this is what I'm diving...

    Cold Water Diving Equipment?

    Water temps holding around 50 in the Sound proper, 46-48 closer out to the Pacific, 45 or so in the ocean. Air temps hovering in the 40s for the most part, upper 30s early and again soon after dark. Drysuit highly recommended, I did about 40 dives wet in a 7mm during the summer months and...

    Legal Question - Name Change

    But I would still consult an attorney. You can save money by having drawn up the papers yourself, but soliciting the help of an experienced attorney to review and submit the paperwork will save you alot of headache. My ex-lifepartner and I tried the diy dissolution to end our state...

    Editions of Bennett and Elliott's "Physiology and Medicine of Diving"

    Well there have been significant changes to deco theory and modeling between when I started diving in '96 and today. So I'm thinking the newer the better, unless you're looking for a history lesson.
