I am interested in researching what would make a good boat for recreational use. I am wanting to know from other diver experiences what features makes a boat good for diving. For the size of boat, I am interested in 18' to 25'. All suggestions are greatly appreciated and thanks in advance...

I think you could get a movie deal with that story. If I were you, I might be thinking of another dive location.

Or maybe catch them with their head at the bottom. :rofl3: Be careful when ditching weights with people knowingly below you, especially if you have to go home with them. :no: Anyway, good job on the CESA. :D

I would be concerned with painting or wrapping it. As the tube deflates and inflates (gas expansion from solar heating and cooling) the paint will crack, peel, and then start looking crappy after a while (sooner than later). I have had nothing but bad luck when trying to paint anything...

I would suggest renting a few regulators of different styles from your LDS when you go diving. Based on your like and dislike findings, look for a regulator that has those specifications. When it comes time to buying the regs, be sure to choose something that you can grow into (i.e. cold...

Yep, try to keep the caps on until they are hooked up. It would really suck to inhale a spider or something worse. Now that would make an interesting call to DAN. :D

As long as it is in the chest triangle, you are considered correct and it is a matter of preference. I personally have tried it in all configurations (except for my Air2 on the BC), and I have found that Primary Air and Octo on the Right and Console on the Left work the best for me. It also...

Looks very sturdy and very visible. I wonder if you could find a red inter-tube to be more visible just in case the flag falls. I am not familiar with the numbers that you are hanging below the flag, and I assume they are for lobsters from your previous post. Are all divers that lobster...

It looks beautiful! Great job. Is the total cost that you spent including shipping for the ordered parts? I noticed that OxyCheq has a kit for about $100, and was wondering how that compares. Analyzer-DIY-ElCheapoII

ERROR - HALT - FAIL! Never place a diver suspected of DCS back into the water for re-compression. There are very few exceptions to this rule, and it always requires special training if not a PhD., MD attached to your name.

That is nice!

Wrong case, never mind.

Did the dive shop not let you try it on before you took it? Normally wetsuits fit everyone a little differently (like shoes). The dive shop should know this and actually insist that you try it before you go as a good customer service measure.

Can't be good, or feel to good either! Get better!

I feel that your question here will get biased responses. :crafty: SCUBA of course!

Yep, I would wave bye bye as he should be able to get to the surface under his own doing a CESA. If permitting on air which you were, always do a 3 min safety (especially if your assent alarm went off). Some dive computers will put you into ERROR mode if you do not which prevents any...

Since he wont sign it due to the fused back, you may want to get the second opinion from an orthopedist (specialty in bones). Then have him report back to your doctor the findings. Otherwise the medical review is there for your (your father's) protection and the training organizations...

WOW! Surely this would have had a negative outcome if the whale was not around. Kudos to the whale, now lets stop killing them!

Hmmm, where did that pocket go! :confused:

Rescue covers all that, plus it is fun and makes you much more comfortable.
