I've actually got two of the Dive Rite bag pouches. I keep the openings faced in seperate directions so that I've got my primary SMB deployable by my right hand and a 100lbs liftbag/backup SMB deployable by my left hand. Both pouches connected by quicklinks to the plate. Set-up is both...

Just got back from my first trip to Akumal last week. Holy friggin cow! What a place! Can't wait to go back. No. Seriously. Couldn't. So I already signed on for my next trip down. For a little day-to-day trip report, if'n you're interested in jerking around on the netwebs some, you...

The New York Aquarium has a Baby Dude! Aquarium Website.

Today is a sad day. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/08/yangtze_baiji_extinct.php

This is, far and away, the coolest thread on any of the diving message boards ever.

This one amazes me. Despite the thousands upon thousands of dollars of gear debt I've manage to amass, my slap strap is probably one of my favorite pieces of kit.

mmmmmmmmmmm... pickled octopus.

I got wicked CO2 headaches for the longest time. It was when I first started to not think about my breathing. I just skip breath naturally, you see... and this causes CO2 buildup. These would go away after a little while, but they were rippers. Training myself to breath properly...

I have a buddy whose personal credo has become, "Go deep, stay long, come up fast, and drink to kill the pain." I sometimes wonder if he's joking.

Does anyone know any further details of the diver who drowned(?) on the U-869 this week? http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050830/NEWS03/508300304/1007

Anyone been there? Is it worth the ride from New Jersey to look at a smallish area with some piles of rubble?

Village Divers is on 4th St. between 2nd and 1st. Haven't been there, but have heard it's pretty kick ***. Of course they only built it after I moved from 4th and A. Probably for the best. If I had an shop a block from me I don't think I'd ever get anything done. Ever.

Never happened in freshwater... but now I'm bringing my drysuit out to sea and the latex neck seal is giving me this rash across the front of my neck that burns like a *******. The fact that it didn't happen in freshwater, nor is it happening on my wrists confirms, to me, that I'm not...

No hardware changes but for the bottles themselves. Luxfer S080s to PST E7-120. That's ~8.8 to ~0. Figuring I'm not getting on the boat ACTUALLY empty, let's say +8 vs -.5. I ditch the 8 lbs V-weight and I should be nearly copasetic, right? I mean closer to copasetic than either a block...

drysuit, Atlantic off the jersey coast, double AL 80s: 24 lbs (12 lbs plate, 8 lbs V-weight, and two 2s in my pockets) change that over to some E7-120s. AL80s are 4.something positive empty and the 120s are neutral. I'm guessing at just ditching the V-weight and rockin & rolling. Will...

Anyone know of some repository or, at least, some easy way of accessing the charter schedules of a healthy majority of the boats going off the Jersey shore?

Just moved up to North Jersey near Patterson (Elmwood Park, to be precise). Wondering after some recommendations for technical shops in the area.

The photography is pretty cool because it was done by their cave diver advisors... Wes Skiles and the Karst Productions team. The dude who wrote the article for Advanced Diver talked about how the movie production team got the gear (presumably -- this is my presumption -- they got whatever...
