    Couple questions re: Console placement, AIR2, etc.

    Have someone take a look at it. You don't want to "get used" to malfunctioning equipment. Terry

    Couple questions re: Console placement, AIR2, etc.

    Only if you don't know how to use the dump valve. Terry

    Couple questions re: Console placement, AIR2, etc.

    With a wrist mounted computer, it works just fine on the left. If it's a hand-held (hose) computer, it's hard to hold your inflator and computer at the same time, so the right side seems to work better. The problem isn't "Air-2" vs "Octo", your Air-2 just needs service. The buttons should not...

    BC question for Amputee.

    Is this an actual problem or one you're just thinking of? I can easily reach my inflator with my right hand. Are you sure your sister-in-law can't? Terry

    Disabled Diver

    The only real suggestion I have is to make specific arrangements with dive shops on the islands, well before your cruise. The cruise lines will generally just say "no" to anybody that doesn't fit their standard physical requirements, as will the shops if you just show up and they're not...

    New tech diver seeks computer advice

    I like computers more than most people. When I was younger, I'd build them, and for the last 30+ years, I've written all sorts of software including embedded systems (the type of thing that runs inside a dive computer). And I won't trust a dive computer with my life. Computers are great for...

    Does peeing in a wetsuit cause health problems?

    Either that, or it's a sign that the user has a Pinnacle wetsuit. If you pee in that, it's all yours until the zipper comes down. Terry

    What's Your Pizza Preference?

    It was an awesome pizza and deserved to be seen in all it's glory! However since some people just can't seem to handle it, here's the small version.:D Terry

    Do wetsuits stretch out over time?

    Sorry, no. It will get stiffer and tighter as it gets older. Bring it back if you can and get a bigger size or different cut/brand. Not only will the suit shrink, people tend to get bigger as they get older. Terry

    Clogged Sinus Question

    I'm not a doctor, but I paid several a lot of money. 8-) Afrin is like crack. It's great until it isn't, then you're scre***. It stops working after a few days, but if you stop taking it, the rebound is worse than what you took it for. The nasal steroids (Nasacort) didn't seem to be a ton of...

    Why are my lungs gurgling?

    The gurgling sound is almost certainly fluid in your lungs, however there are a number of different causes, and you need to get checked out before diving again. I'd recommend calling DAN for a referral to a doc in your area, and wouldn't go diving until you find out what's going on. Terry

    Recommendations for upstate NY diving?

    Seneca is nice. It's extremely deep and pretty cold, so bring a drysuit if you have one, although the last time I check it was all shore diving unless you know someone with a boat. Skaneateles is also nice. If you're there on a Wednesday, Friday or Saturday, National Aquatic Service has a...

    Irrational fears..Help me, Scuba-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope

    Go somewhere that has a nice mix of diving and above-water activities, and you can dive for a few hours, your wife can go shopping, then you can meet up and do stuff together. There are a number of islands that would work nicely for this, or even a cruise (you can book your own dives on the...

    Anyone have a supplier for 'generic' VIS stickers ?

    It's unlikely that you'll find many shops that accept a generic VIP sticker. I know that our shop won't. Terry

    Blue Water Diving: Got Any Tips?

    The square with the "x" means that the browser can't display the image. It could be that your browser doesn't understand how to display this particular jpeg image (over the years they've used many different encoding schemes), or that you're running some sort of ad-blocking software or are...

    Seacure Recall

    I have a one (maybe two?) with the yellow insert on my Atomics. What happens now? Terry

    Knew it would happen eventually

    You're supposedly an instructor or DM. Do you know what your agency's "lost buddy procedure" is? I'm pretty sure there's a significant disconnect between your opinion and what you're supposed to be teaching. Terry
