Seems like the OPs story keeps changing. First it was a leak in a wing that he had had for 20 months without using it. Then later it's a wing he recieved just a few days before a trip to Cozumel? Which is it? Was the wing 20 months old at the start of the trip? Did the OP find the leak on...

I am not absolutely sure about PADI but SSI specifically mentions equipment assembly and dis-assembly for each open water dive. You don't necessarily have to use a new tank but you do need to get them on shore/boat and have them break stuff down and reassemble. I have seen a few people have...

I just watched a version of this available on the Sea Shepherds website. (seashepherds.org) The video starts with footage from the "wide angle" diver, not the one who had her reg ripped out. If this whole incident was so dangerous and unprovoked why did this diver just keep calmly filming...

Wow, I am pretty sure he is asking if he shouldn't "bother" getting them tested and should just retire the tanks due to the possible problems of getting them filled. Not if tanks need to be hydro tested in general.

So the cave diving course that you took for fun was worse than any military boot camp. I assumed you must be a US Marine at first, to have had firsthand experience of the "worst" military boot camp, but then thought about all the foreign ones out there and now cannot figure or which one you are...

Maybe you mean Border Patrol.

On the show they said that both PJ's and Combat Air Controllers attend the school. Both groups trained together all the way through the open water dives. After looking up further information on the internet it looks like the dive school is just one of many stops on the path to becoming either...

I am interested in 2 of the AL80 tanks. What would the shipping be to 85321?

Obviously you have to make your own call about the general safety of being in Mexico now but as far as diving safety I would highly recommend El Mar. They have what is probably the newest best maintained boat out of the dive shops in San Carlos. I have seen them with both groups of new divers...

The main difference is that as a liquid the PFC will not be compressible. You would not have the large partial pressures of gasses causing greater gas absorption in your tissues. Besides the problem of removing CO2 from the diver's bloodstream and the difficulties of clearing the lungs of PFC...

Good luck if you have to use any force during that arrest. I am sure the good old ninth circuit will look very favorably on your activities.
