You know you're a diver when... without any concern for embarrassment you can talk to your friends about how low your SAC is.

I have a question, Is there a weight harness system that also can function as a tether line harness? (solid steel D-rings etc,) If so who makes it and what do they cost?

Herman, the boot looks like it's become part of the tank after 40 or so yrs. I don't know how its gonna come off. I totally agree with you though.

Rescue Dives have increased task loading and sometimes require extended downtimes to conduct search and rescue/recovery. Due to those characteristics I would say that there is quite a bit of increased risk from the cold water. I dive my drysuit year round.....unless its uncomfortably hot (air...

This past summer me and Turtle05 went with Force-E out of Riviera Beach FL. Name of the boat was "The Wetter The Better." We had an awesome time the divemaster's name was Woody. Very Nice people. Highly recommended. I mean Dude.....we got to snorkel with a Manta Ray after our dives. The Capt...

put pictures up and ask on the vintage forum I will have to do that. Neat bottle easily 50+ yrs old.

How would I know if it was a rebuilt double hose?

I was wondering a few things about a tank I just obtained. It is an LP Steel 72, Current hydro and VI. The valve has a date of 3-59 on it. It was produced by US Divers. It is a K valve however the Open/Close is at the top of the stem. First hydro date 3-58+. The bottle itself was produced by US...

Read the book and loved it. I also had the honor of meeting John and Richie at Our World Underwater this past winter.

Unless you're in or very near the reactor itself the radiation is dispersed to the point that you'll receive more radiation just from suntanning. I think news outlets are in the business of getting ratings and more people watch the channel that sensationalizes the event the most. If there was a...

My wife was an obstacle to my diving...now she's my ex-wife. Find a cool girlfriend who likes diving too. Any questions...see below.

Welcome to the club. Diving is awesome. Before you know it, it'll be all you think about. Rarely do I see a body of water and not think about what it be like to "check it out." In fact this weekend, me and my girlfriend are doing the Mall of America Shark Dive. She became a diver after meeting...

ScubaPro MK25/S600. I used it for ice diving this winter on a 20 degree day with 36 degree water temp. Reg operated perfectly. I was outside for about 5 hours...no problems.

I would only volunteer for this if at the end...I got Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Me-Ow

Never, EVER, Xerox your credit card. Most reputable companies wouldn't even ask for a photocopy.

I deal with life and death on a daily basis and I'm not ashamed to say that seeing his picture did me in pretty bad too Darcy. It was definitely one of the tougher situations I've encountered. Undeniably, it's going to hit close to home with us divers. It just makes us human. As always you've...

I was one of the divers that got him out of his gear and pulled him out onto the dock and did CPR. Daily Journal today says he didnt make it. Which was the gut feeling I had while it was going down. Very difficult way for us to start our day.

You're gonna have to let alot of absurd comments go on SB. Otherwise you'll be on aallllllllll day long. But, welcome anyway. Try not to fan too many flames your first day. Be Safe. Enjoy California, you're lucky to live there.

I'd say no. Don't rush, become very comfortable with your new skill set before taking on new ones. Enjoy just being a diver for a while, then when you feel ready and things make more sense to you...go for it. It's not about how smart you are, it's about how much you've improved and if you're...

Hey Engineer, welcome to SB. Now that you've gotten your 1st 5 post out of the way, just a little advice. I started with "Hello" , you started with "Are you crazy?" Notice the difference. Secondly, I wouldn't say that Photographers are laxed on their air supply or wreckless. I definately would...
