    Mask and snorkel for grocery shopping?

    I’m not even going to say it. Spare Air. Oops I said it.

    Mask and snorkel for grocery shopping?

    It’s funny but if you think about it the protection for the eyes and nose is superior. And the mask could be cleaned in soapy water and even disinfected in bleach water. Totally reusable. As usual, it’s the snorkle that is the problem...

    Fins, Fins and more fins!

    P.S. I suspect many people that complained about the foot pocket never broke theirs in. For me this took at least three sessions of lap swimming for 45 minutes to an hour each time. When I first got them there was a little bit of foot cramping but after the break in period suddenly they became...

    Fins, Fins and more fins!

    It’s a really personal choice like shoes. I’m a huge proponent of Scubapro Jet Fins, and since I am small I wear a “medium”, which is their smallest size; in this size they are BETTER for travel because they are short/compact. They don’t weigh that much more than others, and for warm water...

    Left handed?

    It’s true that a lot of scuba stuff is ambidextrous... except when it’s not, like reaching for a cutting implement. This might make you want a BC where you can move things around, like a backplate and wing with web belt harness that is completely customizable. These kinds of little placement...

    Left handed?

    By the way, to all who worry that a left hand release buckle will confuse a right handed buddy should they need to undo it, has it ever occurred to you that from the opposite side a left hand release is... a RIGHT hand release, exactly what they are used to.

    Left handed?

    I am left handed. Of course it matters! I’ve spent a ton of time customizing my gear! Maybe it won’t matter to you but it sure does to me! Try everything the “normal” way first, but there are lots of ways to customize... I wear my air integrated hosed console and my backup watch computer on my...

    Beqa Shark Attack

    If you think about it, most of our pets are predators: cats, dogs, birds, fish. We see how they act when we feed them. Usually they go for the food, not the hand, but occasionally mistakes are made…

    Tips for “Bubblers” - fatigue, headaches and recovery

    UnderwaterJess it says you are from California so I assume you are cold water diving. This is hard, especially if you are female and the gear might be harder for you to carry. You are really new to this, and it is strenuous. Unlikely that you’ve taken all the helpful steps many eventually do...

    So y’all are saying she “tasted” his head, didn’t like, and spit it out?

    Geezer Freediving?

    The problem with diving in muddy water is that even if you can find a buddy, they wouldn’t be able to see you! I swim alone in muddy tidal water, but it is a strange taste that does not easily attract companions. I do delight in freediving down a few feet (at most 20) to stick my finger in the...

    Geezer Freediving?

    I’m impressed! That sounds like an intense class! In my little experiments with Freediving I have found my breath hold is very short... I would need a more entry level class, perhaps the OP would too?

    Insta-buddy DECO Diver: What’s NDL?

    Sigh, I am remembering my first class, I was shocked and disappointed to learn that I could not swim down as deep as my little fins would take me for as long as I wanted as long as I had air. Sigh. Would that it were so.
