How long is it safe to store air in your scuba tanks safely without resupplying with fresh air? I personally would not use air that was over 60 days. (just my preference) How does Oxygen content degrade in stored scuba tanks? You start with an air fill with the normal 21% Oxygen. If you store...

I really liked Kristina and miss her. She was a ray of sunshine. I came across her first posting after recovering from her first serious diving accident at Monastery Beach. She was a great combination being strong and tenacious with a kind and warm heart. I remember having lunch with her after...

I found a mermaid purse at Breakwater last weekend. This is the first one that I've found while diving. I think it is an egg case for a swell shark. The case is translucent and you can see the shark egg inside. Let me know if I identified this correctly.

Some suggestions: check dump valve and make sure it is working correctly, Some under garments block good air release (DUI), air goes up, if the air is around your neck it is not going out your valve, keep bubble at the vent, push down for...

I use an air integrated Galileo Luna wrist mounted computer with a simple brass & glass SPG. I have never had a problem with pairing or loosing signal but as a backup I have a separate SPG. I had an Oceanic Pro Plus console and it worked great but I love having all the info easily viewed on my...

The ocean is always unpredictable. My guess it will fine. I have dove there when bigger swells were forecasted. The launch ramp is well protected and I've never had a problem getting in because of surges but it can get slippery when covered with algae.

Talc is the standard. I use KY on my neck seal to avoid getting a neck rash.
