    Scuba Deaths

    You do not need to now all the dives in the universe to arrive at a probability you only need a sample. The sample quoted in my response was 'of the dives reported to DAN'. This is a valid approach to a rough estimate of an event occurring. Stan

    sea-sickness

    What a kick. I think the trick to Bonine is to take it early and often. Start 3 days before the dive and take a half tablet at night. The day before the dive, take a full tablet at bedtime and a tablet in the morning before the dive. Drink Ginger Ale if you're thirsty. Stan

    GUE Fundies

    Youth has it's advantages, but good judgment is not limited to the young, or even very prevalent there. Been there and done it. The number of dives does not assure competence. Stan

    Narc'd? First Deep Dive...

    I think, just like alcohol, some people feel it sooner and more intensely. The first time I knew I was under the effects was at a demonstration that measured the time it took to complete a simple math problem at 15 feet. Then I tried the same trick at 90 ft. It took 3 times as long. Did I...

    Scuba Deaths

    I just did a back of the envelope estimate bases on DANS 2006 repot and the probability of dieing in a diving accident is .0029 percent. Not really very high is it? Stan

    My Luggage is so SO heavy!

    I carry on my regulator system and have never had a weight problem. The limit of two checked bags and 1 carry-on plus a personal item, purse or PC case, allows me place my reg system in the case with my PC. This includes International flights. Stan

    Physics

    Of course using the empirical technique, one could just attach lift bags and inflate them until the buoyancy becomes positive and it floats. Assuming you have enough bags and air.

    Oversight of Dive shops by Dive Agencies (PADI, NAUI, etc.)

    I guess if you can look at DAN stats and see the obvious. If you can't see the reality of that stats., I guess additional information is useless. I must say that your logic defeats your argument. Stan
