No, sorry, I missed that. I do not look at SB by forums, just What's New. That's a SB layout problem. Sometimes the poster actually says "sidemount" in their OP, or whatever is appropriate for the forum they are in, so avoid getting of-topic input like mine. For sidemount I use DR 1208s and they...

I had a bad experience many years ago when I was diving on an oceanographic mooring in deep water, to inspect some instruments mounted on it. I had a Nikonos camera on a wrist lanyard so I would not drop it, and while looking at one of the instruments the mooring surged and caught the hanging...

I also have a Deep6, like the OP, but he has his reg mounted sideways. Mine is up and down.

Depends on what the first stage is.

It still does, it is two pdfs now instead of just one. The current information is here. It is a screening system with two parts: the questionnaire with the doctor's evaluation, and the additional info for the doctor. If a doctor or a diver really wants a good screening, the information is...

The OP was asking about Dressel, not Scuba Fun. Perhaps you should report your experience to Undercurrent to balance the less positive reviews about Bayahibe diving.

It is not worth the risk. A LP hose failure will drain a full tank in less than 2 minutes...so a failure toward the end of the dive means risking not enough air to get to the surface, even if you start up immediately. It doesn't matter that the probability of failure is low; the consequeneces of...

This is vertical viz...not quite the same thing as most divers mean by (horizontal) viz. Secchi disk measurements were long ago discredited for any scientific purposes, but they are still popular for light attenutation estimates (not really turbidity) for management purposes...they are easy and...

NAUI Advanced is a very different program than either PADI or SSI AOW. More comprehensive, more detailed, more coverage, more dives, more expensive.

If it us a 36 inch hose, run the hose down from the first stage, under your arm, and up to your mouth.

Yep....a grab shot as you drift by. Luck, not composed.

I was going to recommend Cozumel but I find the photography there just plain difficult, not just challenging.

Apparently you have not been to Bonaire. That is some really good diving and nice clear water, and you can easily arrange for a private guide (and boat if you want) so you can photograph to your heart's content. Esy to combine shore and boat diving, and adjust number of divers per day. For...

What places have you enjoyed in the past? What kind of diving do you like to do? For your photography, are you into wide-angle reef scenes, or macro? Land-based or liveaboard? If lnd-bsed, boat dives or shore? Let's narrow it down a bit....diving for your 60th needs to be special, I agree!

I've not been to the DR, but reading Undercurrent.org about your intended destination suggests you might be disappointed, both by the diving and by Dressel. The diving appears to be modest at best, and Dressel has you dive their profiles, not yours. You might luck out with no one else on the...

At many airports getting there early would not have been a problem. HKT surprised us with its layout, facilities, and rules; we could not drop out bags until 3 hours before our flight, amd there were no lounges prior to passport control. So much for flying business class but sitting on one's...

My Dive Rite XTs often got loose. I just carried a proper hex wrench.

You are not wrong. You must fully enter the Cayman Islands when you arrive from Florida.

She is correct, however. You can make all those ads go away if you want to, all by yourself.
