    C-130 and F-4 near USS Indras?

    I was looking at the state artificial reef guide and apparently there are two C-130's and a F-4 on Howard Chapin Reef (AR-330) near the USS Indras. Can anybody tell me what shape they are in? Is it worth going to see, or are they pretty much collapsed? thanks, Dave.

    Pony bottle ascent schedule?

    I'd be interested to hear peoples thoughts on a hypothetical situation I was considering on the way to work this morning. Imagine I'm cruising along at the end of my 130' dive on 32%. I'm within my NDL and dive plan as I reach the ascent line. Just then, Neptune appears, decides he hates...

    Basic gas budgeting

    OK, please bear with me - I'm trying to learn how gas budgeting works. For the most part, what I've gotten in training so far was "keep an eye on your computer, but you'll run out of gas on an AL80 before NDL anyway", and I'd like to do a bit better than that. My two dream dives are the USS...

    UWatec Smart Tec & ppO2 > 1.4?

I was planning to go to 135 ft on 30% Nitrox (1.52 ppO2), but the computer would only let me set it to 1.4 (121 ft). I stayed above 120 ft.because...

    Uwatec smart tec beeps too much

    I did 9 dives last week with my Uwatec SmartTec hoseless. It's nice and works well - never had any problems with lost communications or the like. BUT, the dang thing beeps way too much, to the point where it's annoying to other divers and myself. The main problem is the ascent rate alarm...
