    Issue with harassment in chat

    Hey, I've got an issue with a user in the chat who was harassing me. Who can I speak with about perhaps resolving this?

    OMS vs HALCYON

    Didn't see this bit of info in the thread and figured it might make a difference. The OP is diving these wings with a single tank NOT doubles.

    kitting up routine

    I can't stand people touching my gear, I never have been able to stand it, even when I was just out of OW. Especially touching my valves and the ever so helpful "you should put 1/4 turn back" NO I SHOULDN'T!!! I'm with everyone else here, if I need help I'll ask(and I usually do with my...

    My 63 Meter Solo Dive - Cebu, Philippines

    So, single tank, single 1st stage? air?(or were you diving Nitrox?) and a 63 meter solo dive? Well all I can really say to that is it sounds way past my personal comfort level...

    The Planning Necessary for Solo Dives

    I can't say as i do anything different when I go solo diving. I enjoy diving with buddies and I can absolutely say I would trust my life to a couple of them, but ya see I don't like the idea of my life being in someone elses hands. I don't particularly care who's with me or not, my #1 rule of...

    So I've got a friend

    Yes that would be my friend. Couldn't hurt. I might have gotten some sense into him with the help of this thread, he at least said he would go and buy the SDI Solo manual

    So I've got a friend

    I do, however I while I may have a good sense of it, I still suck at explaining it to him. I also don't get the feeling that he's willing to listen to me. My figuring is if he hears it from a few people in here who are perhaps better able to articulate it than myself, he may be more receptive...

    So I've got a friend

    He's got a grand total of 4 dives post OW. 3 of them have been solo. he knows he's being safe because he carries a Spare Air. When sac rates get mentioned, he links a PopularMechaniacs article saying the thing lasts for "less than a minute" at 100' 3.0 stressed Sac rate, 20 seconds at 100'...

    Spare Air

    idk why i'm dredging this up. but i was taught a simple drill in OW that has so far never failed me and never left me in a position where a SA would be useful... what I was taught was to check my SPG. If I can't manage to do that on a regular basis, I shouldn't be diving...

    Peacock Fatality Accident Analysis

    From the conversation I just had on the phone this sum's it up perfectly. As much as I'd like to think there was some other issue to cause her to bolt I can't overlook that these were the first two jumps she'd ever taken and they were visual(hell they were also the first two jumps I ever took...

    Peacock Fatality Accident Analysis

    Just found out that this was her first dive doing a circuit/jumps of any sort while buddy in the lead had done this profile once or twice before. I hope the facts I've provided can help quiet down some of the wild guessing and speculation.

    Peacock Fatality Accident Analysis

    There were 4 of us diving that day, two of whom were the team wednesday. Maybe I'm just a little confused on what confirmation you're looking for beyond someone who's dove with her in the past? I can't say what their typical was as I never made a dive with them that involved jumps or...

    Peacock Fatality Accident Analysis

    While they had been diving this site weekly for a number of years they had only recently started doing jumps/circuits(somewhere in the past 8 months or so). I also know of another dive while still p400' on the olsen line she bolted past other divers in the team, in that instance she had gotten...

    The Sandbar Grand Cayman is a Fraud/Scam

    I'm kinda curious what the status is on this too... Friend showed me their craigslist add, guy was really chatty on the phone, but that $400 paypal request just screamed scam. Anyway I'm curious to see if they get nailed.
