Diver goes missing off Dyer Island Night dive in great white waters

Found this on Nat Geo. Have These Divers Found the World's Deepest Underwater Cave?

Anyone know how to disassemble/service the new Apeks low profile dump valves?

I want to make a prediction. Aqualung (Apeks) is very serious about expanding their current product range, just look at the new website. They already aquired Whites and seem to like the products from Canada a lot. The aleady have awesome regs, wings, plates , fins and it seems to me that they...

Apkes announced the new KVR1 Fusion. Its actually just a new skin for the Fusion and is maded of synthetic ballistic fiber. Should be bullerproof.... http://www.apeks.co.uk/dry-wear/product/fusion-kvr1.html

Is there a difference between the black and blue Si tech silicone seals? It seems (at least to me) like the blue ones are slightly thicker and more robust than the black ones? I have black seals on my Fusion compared to blue on my buddies. He is dry while I have small leaks occasionally? We...

Bottom Timer and slate, custom of course. I use this for medium deep dives with up to 13 stops.

I upgraded my current SP Trilam Drysuit to a Whites (AuqaLung) Fusion Bullet and wanted to give my impressions/considerations around the suit selection. 95% of the diving I do is technical, trimix or cave on isolated doubles. I have made 2 changes in the way I approach diving. Firstly, I have...

When will the new firmware be available for the Predator? There was talk to have the same center row config options as with the Petrel. I have both units and like the new display option of the Petrel and can't wait to upgrade my Predator :)

I have been looking to add thermals to my current collection of layering for drysuit use. The major problem we have here in South Africa is the limited(read non-existent) range. You have to order “blindly” of the internet; or from a LDS and they don’t carry stock due to the very, very small...

Thought I would quickly share this. I just arrived back from our expedition in Sodwana bay. We successfully dived GoPro Hero3 cameras to 137m (450ft) without incident. The front casing cover push a bit against the camera lens, but video is still good. These cameras are truly awesome.

Is anyone using the Lavacore range as drysuit undergarment? What are your views?

The design is very simple, you need bungee and a bolt snap. The bungee have knots at the end to keep the markers from slipping off at the end. The cord is slightly thicker than the maker "guides". The boltsnap is attached very easily without any knots. Once you have the correct diameter...

The post generated some interest, thus I thought to post here to. Spools and reels are equipment we have in our dive bag and can be used for various applications. I thought I would share how I setup my finger spools for both recreational and all technical dives. I am sure this is not...

Spools and reels are equipment we have in our dive bag and can be used for various applications. I thought I would share how I setup my finger spools for both recreational and all technical dives. I am sure this is not something new or rocket science. I also foresee that not everyone will agree...

I would like to get some feedback on the WASpool (white arrow spools) and if anyone is using them. I am specifically interested in the gap spool whereby they use modified arrow to make the connection to the primary line. Are these "arrows" secure enough? The product looks great and I like the...

Technical Cave Diving Course Experiences: ajduplessis 16-22 May 2012 I wanted to write a detailed report of my experiences and doings during my technical cave training last week, but decided to shorten it a lot and wanted to talk more about what I felt and learned. More importantly I wanted to...

I will be posting this in the non-private forums too. Not sure where, some ideas would be nice. The reason is I want to give some of my experiences to potential cavers. Maybe some of this info can be used elsewhere. I appreciate any feedback and apologies for my writing skills. Technical Cave...

I am starting my tec cave course next week. I have started research and studying and noticed that the primary (long hose) is recommended to be on the left post for OC. I would like to get a feel for what you do and why? I assume this will involve "reconfiguring" my valve drill and start left...
