    Why (or why not) should a snorkel be donned?

    We never use a snorkel in caverns or caves,but did bring em along on our last boat dive,and put em back in our bag when noone else used theirs.

    Nitrox is it Worth it?

    All we breathe is nitrox.It helps if you get it from a shop that banks32 or36%,then you only pay for the amount you need instead of them charging for a full tank when you only need a top off when diving thirds.I like the extra bottom time and also seem to feel better afterwards.And we always...

    OW dive didn't work out

    I had 30 dives logged before I set foot in the ocean.All springs,then for my aow class,I had to step off the back of a boat in 3-4 ft seas.My heart was pounding so hard I was afraid I would overbreath my regulator.But once I submerged the quiet peace and tranquility allowed me to calm down and...

    Doubling AL80's, bad idea?

    ok ive read the advantages and disadvantages of a dual bladder.My dad removes his bungee with doubles and puts it back on for a single tank.He also only has one lp hose going to the left side.He told me if he has a blowout,he can orally inflate the right side enough to get off the bottom till he...

    bolt snap on primary hose

    we use zip ties for primary,spg and backup lights.Pull em tight and cut the access off as close as you can with toenail clippers or I hear it can cut you.[if the cut off end is left protruding]in an entanglement they can be twisted to break.

    Doubling AL80's, bad idea?

    Yea your probably right.My dad has a DR dual rec wing,but his buddies carry lift bags.I was wondering how awkward it would be riding one out of a cave.

    Doubling AL80's, bad idea?

    A redundant bladder or lift bag is standard here in cave country

    Doubling AL80's, bad idea?

    Please explain why twin steel tanks wet is a bad idea.

    Doubling AL80's, bad idea?

    Steel tanks remaining neutral near the end of the dive is a plus.Then you wouldnt need any weight.

    One more basic question: split fins

    Yes.In open water their fine for flutter kicks,but areas where silt may be a factor the standard frog kick[in and out verses up and down]is tuff in splits as well as the hastle of the line,in cavern or caves getting caught in the groove.

    Fla- Devils Den/Rainbow River/Blue Grotto ???

    I second the Ginnie springs suggestion,Blue Grotto seems pricey for whats there.40.00 to dive,and 30 minutes is about all I need.Devils den is unique and worth diving at least once.Rainbow river is a boat dive,putting in at kelly park or RR campground.And you can see most of it with just a mask...

    PADI Rescue Diver class near miss (and lessons learned)

    Its easy to say what I would have done sitting here.But it seems like an uncontrolled ascent buddy breathing could have been slowed by venting his bc for him as well as your own.In cavern and cave classes were taught to have our backup reg on a short necklace of shock cord so theres no reaching...
