    Poseidon 'Skinny'

    I own 4 Poseidon Jetstreams with Poseidon seconds. They have provided excellant service. They are more expensive to service, I feel they can be finnicky to get tuned propperly, but they're worth it. The one thing I have seriously questioned as of late is extreme cold water service. The Poseidons...

    Alternate Inflation Regulators

    Stop the screwing around ! If you are in a genuine OOA emergency you want a regulator of equal quality to your primary. If you are in capacitated and someone else is trying to manage your ascent all the unnecessary buttons and levers are nothing more than potential trouble. How many articles...

    Your Personality...

    Yes, just more miserable. Diving hasn't changed me, much... Think of the hours spent diving, and the hours spent doing every thing else. For most people the time spent diving is relatively small, and I dive about 100 times a year, averageing between 1-2 1/2 hours a dive. It's fun to do, the most...

    how far will you drive to dive

    I'd have to be fairly despirate to drive real far for 30-40 feet of water. If that's all that's available, I'd do it with out question. Fortunately we have lots of water and a wide variety of senery. Wreck/Tec

    Just Certified....

    Congratulatulations and welcome aboard. If I had any regrets it was that I didn't start diving alot sooner. While I couldn't, I am seeing that my kids get the chance I didn't if they so choose. Be careful, and enjoy yourself ! Wreck/Tec

    Who Loves Ice Diving? I do!

    I just came back from Canada, WindMill Quarrey to be precise. The ice was in excess of 18 inches. We spent two days there, diving through out the days. It was alot of fun, 14 degrees the last day though. If you havn't dove under the Ice, consider it. It's very different when compared to a...

    which is better low pressure or high pressure tanks

    Personally, I like low pressure. You can always get them filled to a higher pressure and extend your BT. As stated earlier you're able to blend easier with respect to O2 content. Not all air stations are able to accomodate higher pressures required to make the appropriate cu. ft. rating of high...

    Aliminium or steel tank Which one to buy???

    Personally, I prefer steel. I dive fresh water, I hate wearing lead on my waist. Using steel helps reduce belt weight. You can fill them to higher pressure and have the tank survive. While they are more expensive, and require more care, I am willing to endure the fuss. The only time I wear...

    Would you consider buying a used tank?

    Do the math...............A steel tank has something like 10,000 cycles of being filled to 4,000 lbs.. Thats equivilant to a hydro every day for 27 years. An aluminum tank has a life span about a 10th of a steels. They won't endure repeated over filling like steel either. Obviously, if you look...

    My kids always ask me what I'm going to dive each time I go. They have talked to those I dive with and get a response of we're doing a Wreck dive or a Tec dive. So..................when they want my attention they call out , " Hey wreck/Tec ". It kind of stuck............. Wreck/Tec

    Half Naked Women in a Dive Magazine?

    Well. tell a women that she can't wear one and watch her response. Show her a woman in a revealing bikini and watch her response. I believe this is a no win situation. This all comes down to marketing, lets be honest. Most of us wouldn't have this exotic picture of a dive destination unless...

    Do you dive with a buddy? Always, Sometimes, hardly ever?

    It has been said that solo diving is the result of poor buddy diving skills. I don't know so much about that, it may, however my situation dictates diving alone half of the time. I will say that buddy diving is more enjoyable. I can't deny when I'm alone that I feel somewhat lonely at times...

    Buddy Diving Question

    Think, this has the potential of really devistating the sport. If this were to become the law of the land, where would entry people go for experience. I for one wouldn't want to loose all I've worked for........I certainly would be more peticular, and the forbiden solo dive would become as...
