Is this still available?

First time I did it I was training to become a divemaster, in a wetsuit, after that dry suit all the way. But yes I was setting training floats on a number of platforms we used.

becoming a divemaster and then moving onto the instructor level can be one of the most rewarding experiences you can gain as a diver. I wanted to work in the industry when I went through my courses, the first piece of advice that I can give is that your dives are going to become more challenging...

Will Henderson be making another version of the original Octo boot? I have searched everywhere and can not locate a size 12. I am also wondering why the boot was discontinued, it was the best fitting wet suit boot ive ever had and i liked the 7MM thickness even in warmer waters.

Earplugs are not the answer, while your head will not explode, the fall from lets say 30 feet above could cause you to go down a little farther than expected. Even if you are not scuba diving you are still going to feel the effects of the water pressure. Best advice, try practicing equalizing...

Id stick with the EAN mixture but im going to explain the problems that i think that could arise by switching over to the air tank. OK here are the issues that i see with making the switch from the nitrox mixture to the air mixture. 1. If you are using a computer unless you have a computer...

The tank will be fine, i routinely used to fill my HP tanks to 3800 when they were cooling in a tank of water. The biggest issue that you will run into first will be the burst disc rupturing, however most burst discs rupture very close to what the hydrostatic pressure is. One thing to note the...

In the 50-60 degree range i am usually using my whites mk3 with the whites mk0 as a bse wicking layer. If it is closer to the 50 degree mark i will add my mk3 vest. Now i will say that i am really wimpy when it comes to cold, i also usually wear my dry gloves in 60 degree water temps so im not...

Found this one When a cylinder is required to be condemned, the retester shall stamp a series of X's over the DOT specification number and the marked service pressure or stamp "CONDEMNED" on the shoulder, top head, or neck using a steel stamp. Alternatively, at the direction of the owner, the...

Devon, I was teaching in buffalo ny, tasks that I mentioned are the crap jobs in October when the winds are whipping and the water is 40 some degrees. Getting in the water a half hour to 45 minutes before everyone else can be brutal even with a dry suit. Sitting on shore with 30 mph winds, below...

OK so back when i was working at a dive shop i was the one that did all the testing on tanks, hydros (yes we had our own hyrdostatic test equipment at the shop) and visuals. If the tank came in for visual and failed the visual, in our inspection logs we would note why the tank failed and that...

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ---------- The shop I used to work at never had the divemaster candidates cleaning wetsuits or toilets or working around the shop, those were my tasks as a shop employee. If I hadn't been interning and then working at...

I just returned from a week on the Utila aggressor. In terms of number of dives they are the best way to go, also sometimes they will offer better diving as compared to a live aboard. When we returned to Utila we talked to a few divers who had dove at the land based resort, a few were not happy...

Ive never been bitter towards a student nor am i bitter that a lot of my diving is usually designed in making sure that other people have a good time. To be honest taking an advanced student and showing them how to dive the local area and how to properly execute a lot of different dives is...

I always see how the trip goes to see what tip i give. However i know on one boat that i frequent all the time that the deck hand is always willing to help you. As soon as he has the boat hooked on the mooring he is at the back of the boat helping people in that water, there were several times...

All i can say is what great customer service DSS offers specifically Tobin. I sent an email last night to see if what i wanted to order was in stock and a few emails later i placed my order. The biggest issue is that i leave this saturday for a trip to honduras (i know i procrastinated on...

The dive shop I used to work for stopped doing any work on 6351 tanks and offered a 50 trade in towards the purchase of a new tank, now the most we ever usually got for scrap was about $18 a tank. Now this doesn't include the time that had to be paid to me and another coworker to go to the scrap...

Let me start out by saying all i have ever owned is an oceanic computer, i like that they are usually the easiest to use and have generally never had any problems with them. Ive owned Veo 180 Pro Plus 2 Atom 2 VT3 Datamask GEO 2 OC1 The Veo 180 i never had any problems with it...
