    When the "stuff" hits the fan?

    If you practice your drills regularly and correctly, then any "real emergency" should just be another drill. "Survival depends on being able to suppress anxiety and replace it with calm, clear, quick and correct reasoning..." -Sheck Exley

    3000psi tanks...why?

    Since diet and exercise was not an acceptable short term solution by lowering my sac rate (long term solution), I purchased steel tanks to solve this problem. LP 108's normal fill at +10% is 2640psi. Many tech dive shops will fill to 3000psi if you request, which will provide approximately 125...

    best single tank wing?

    There isn't a best. If you own it, use it and ensure no leaks, then you are the only one to decide. Personally, I use a 30# Oxycheq for warm water diving in South Florida. No STA required. Dive safe.

    Backplate and wings with pony tank

    I completely agree with Jim. Just sling it. Try it and you will be pleasantly surprised at how well it works.

    First solo dive - not without glitches!

    Note to self- Buy my own quality regs for solo diving. See above as to why renting gear is not a good idea.:shakehead: Glad to hear things turned out ok. Keith

    Do you dive locally?

    We have limited diving in Orlando, so I like to vacation way up North most weekends in cave country or way down South with the natives in Pompano and Ft. Lauderdale. :D What are we calling local?:mooner: If local is the state, then I'm covered 90%.

    Tipping your OW instructor?

    Vincent 'Vinnie' Antonelli: It's not tipping I believe in. It's overtipping. My Blue Heaven - 1990 How much do you value your life, and how good was your instructor? If you paid for the card, then you should be good to go. If you received one hell of an instructed coarse to earn your...

    Do you carry a snorkel on every dive?

    Snorkels are for wimpy divers. I'm a Macho diver and don't need one while diving deep air. oops, wait. wrong thread.:rofl3::rofl3:

    Split Fin vs Straight Fin

    I used a set of split fins for the first time at Epcot/Disney Dive Quest last November. All the SB posts are true, You will die with split fins. They were absolutely terrible. You can kick and kick till your heart is content, but you will go nowhere fast. I would carry a "spare air" long...

    Instruction question: to spin or not to spin

    John, I completed intro last year and from my perspective, I disagree that spinning causes the student to strike out blindly. I completed my lost line drill in the gallery at Ginnie below the lips (Allen-it was not at the Henkle on a trust-me dive:rofl3:). I was handed the black out mask...

    5th Grade Science Fair Project

    First, I must say how cool it is that you and your son get to dive together. These will definitely be lasting memories. Regarding the science project, I would have used a graduated cyliner or had markings on the jug to know specifically how much air (volume) is contained per trial run at...

    CCR before or after OW training?

    If you didn't watch the video, you missed the point of this post. The video is a clear example of why scuba lessons and basic techniques are required before CCR. I can't imagine seeing more divers with this level of "training". The diver in the video clearly did not have any pool work before...
