My thoughts are with the families, crew, rescuers, and investigators. Heart breaking. As the industry works to identify and implement safety enhancements, we as individual divers need to consider what we can do differently today. Assuming batteries were a direct cause (speculation) how many...

+1 for Conch Republic Divers and Silent World Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk

That is great! Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk

Sammie.....maybe my backpacking experience will help...i had a diffcult time relaxing in the woods...very vulnerable position! Every time I would start to pee I would tighten up in anxiety.....finally I hit upon something....if I hold a hard kegel then slowly relax the muscle while exhaling...

Option when I bought....standard now. Get the gusseted versions....easier to get stuff in and out. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk

+1 for fusion with tec skin ... drys fast, travels well and holds up nicely. For the money it is a great value. I do wish mine had pockets. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk

I use a oceanic viper ... for me it is a good balance of propulsion vs strain on my knee. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk

This is a good time to also think about what other factors impact weighting: equipment, clothing; tank size. Note what equipment you dive with regularly and how it affects your weight. With my SMB, reel, and two dive lights I need 1-2 pounds less then when I dive without some of that. Be sure...

Everyone's buoyancy is different, and I don't know if your BCD has a metal back plate which would add weight to you. My BCD does not have a metal plate so I have to dive with some weight. I am 5'2 and dive 2 lbs of weight in salt water when I have no wetsuit. So I suspect you could drop a...

Conch Republic Divers is a good outfit too. You have some advice on finding grouper. For some of your other dives consider the Benwood wreck -- max depth of 45 feet and has lots of life on it.

Happy Birthday to my fav cigar chumping, card playing, cave diving, cursing Asian. Love ya Girlie!

A bucking boat ladder is half the fun of diving Morehead....love diving there particularly with Tortuga. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk

I love science!!! Btw...I can confirm #3

ROFL ... OMG DONNA....hysterical I can hear Sammie now..... As for the stalking, the loud asians aren't the ones you gotta worry about....it's the quiet funny socks wearing ones that should worry ya.....IJS ;-)

While this is a horrible way to learn the lesson, nevertheless, if it makes everyone who hears of it self-evaluate the extent of their current training, whether they dive beyond their training and experience, and whether they are continually working to improve their own skills (weighting...

Not sure if anyone answered your question by PM, so I'll attempt to here. You could be underweighted. Pay attention to your breathing at the end of the dive. I used to get very anxious at the end because I was scared I would 'cork' to the surface so I found myself breathing more heavily...

In light of recent local scuba deaths, I'm bumping this. If you or someone you dive with are diving over weighted, please work on this important issue. Whether it is an insta-buddy on a dive trip, or your usual local dive buddy, please talk about this issue. Getting correctly weighted not...

It is no secret that proper weighting and ditching have been my battle cry since I began diving. Just gave my soap box speech to a diver Monday while diving Morehead. This diver was diving wet with 28 lbs....versus me wet and 2 lbs...we both had steel 100 tanks, about same build....I was in a...

What a tragedy. My prayers are for the family and those first responders who assisted. Always tough to lose a young person. So sorry to hear this.

I want the steel 100 hp worthingtons. Pm sent Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk
