For those of you interested in wrecks in Okinawa. Asahi.com carried a story about Chuck DeCesari and colleagues' effort on the determining who piloted the sunken plane found near the USS Emmons. Initially the plane was thought to be a Zero, but the engine block pointed to Ida (Ki-36). The...

I know I'm at fault. I was too tired to unpack my gear after diving this spring, and though I did thoroughly rinse my gear before leaving the dive destination, I forgot to remove the DIN to yoke adaptor off when I put away the gear next day. Now, my 1st stage and the adaptor are stuck...

My Fusion arrived a couple of days ago, and after trimming the neck and wrist seals, I'm ready for my first pool plunge scheduled for tomorrow morning.:D While packing the gear, I realized that I didn't know how I should pack my Fusion. After sifting through Whites' web pages, I found a pdf...

Hi there, I'd like to know when I can expect the Military spec bags to start shipping. I have ordered for a Fusion sport w/ boots and a Mil spec bag, along with other small items. At the moment, the Mil spec bag is the only item on hold, hindering delivery. If there aren't any ETA set for...

Hi, I bought two itorches, one with a narrow beam and the other with the wide angled beam, both running 4AAAs. The beam patterns were good under water, and as recreational diving lights, I thought they were both well designed and affordable. The only issue I had was, I couldn't turn off the...

A Chinese honeymooner couple went missing while snorkeling in Thulhagiri, Maldives. Reportedly, conditions weren't good and those who wanted to go snorkenling were required to contact resort personnel before going. The only report I have does not comment whether the lost couple did, or didn't...

I was browsing the net the other day, looking for some new toys for my next dive, and noticed some brands carried finger spools with bright coloured lines. I already have an Oxycheq 100ft ABS finger spool with the usual #24 nylon line, but if the bright orange or yellow lines are more easily...

I've been trying to talk my buddy into taking the rescue diver course with me. She's not all that excited about taking the course, citing her small build (5ft2) and lack of physical fitness, other than me being overweight (6ft, 210lb). Probably someone told her she's expected to tow me for some...
