    help with mount?

    With the bottle mounted sideways you may encounter a bit more drag than if mounted "vertically", i.e. in line with the larger tank. Other than that, should be no problem. lease let us know how it works out after you dive with it!

    Lost and a question of ethics

    How many knives does she need. She should be ashamed. She is definitely not a professional nor a good person. You should send her the thread.

    Finning near the bottom

    I have been using FORCE fins since a friend loaned me a pair to try about five years ago.. They work great with the frog kick and stir very little if any silt near the bottom.

    The dive shop at the Grand Mayan Riviera Maya resort has NEW Mares rental equipment, excellent divemasters (most are cave divers) and the manager, Manuelo, is a highly experienced diver who hand picks his employees from around the world. He is a joy to dive with. I have been to Cancun often...

    Divers wanted to find golf balls $100,000 year

    I once personally lost 12 balls in one day on 18 holes of golf. That's why I dive more often than golf.

    Can You 'Really' Dive?

    Hi, After reading our profile I was surprised to see that you are an "instructor" but not surprised to see that you need a buddy. We can all learn something on each dive, in fact in all our endeavors through life, especially if we have empathy and an open mind. Only then will we become as...

    TSA Stupidity

    Closed cylinders have been prohibited on commercial aircraft since long before 9/11. TSA was doing their very difficult job. It makes no sense to expect to take a closed cylinder on an aircraft.

    Cooper River

    Been there several times. It is my favorite dive except for the Mexican cenotes. Take a really big light (best a canister with goodman handle), a big goody bag tied to you so it does not drift away in the current, SMB, reel or just hold the smb as you surface. Screwdriver with a hole drilled in...

    Central Virginia- weekday diving?

    LAke Rawlings is 2 hours from LB near fort Picket. Wednesday is "hump day" and costs 12.50 vs normal 25. I will be there Sept 5th with a couple divers from northern VA. The customer service at the lake is self defeating in that they are confrontational. But it is close by and wet. Warmer...
