I have seen liability release forms which contain the typical releases from liability for dive operators, for inherent risks associated with diving. However, I also notice comments such as "FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES ARISING AS A CONSEQUENCE OF ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS ON THEIR PART, INCLUDING...

After each dive, and after I clean my gear, I apply silicone spray to my regulator hoses, and lightly wipe the silicone along the length of the hoses. I do not directly spray onto the 1st stage (Oceanic CDX5) or the second stage (GT3). I typically dive a first dive with Nitrox, and the second...

I am interested in replacing my Ocenaic GT3 with, possibly, a Aqualung Titan LX series or Aqualung Legend series regulator. My first stage is an Oceanic CDX5. Type of diving I mostly do is in the 40' to 60', with some occassional 100'+/-. I feel that my CDX5 is a good 1st stage, and it is also...

There has been much discussed on SB concerning shark attacks, and actions a diver can take which may minimize the chances of an attack, especially when a nearby shark is sighted. I’m sure these scenarios play out in most, if not all, divers’ minds at some time or another. I myself have been made...

I would like some thoughts concerning the question below, which follows the scenario. I believe that this is not an unlikely scenario. I, myself, am not completely sure which action would be wisest. Scenario: You and your buddy are diving a wreck. During the dive, you notice the current...

My son received his open water certification last September. And yes, it is completely awesome having my 16 yr old son as my dive buddy. A bit of a concern for me, is that he is experiencing some nosebleed, since his certification. We are still trying to zero in on the cause and fix, and I think...

I was having a general diving discussion today with a diabetic OW certified diver. We got to talking about Nitrox, and what positives or negatives might be associated with it, for him in particular, taking into account that he has diabetes (insulin dependant and managed well). We found the...

Okay, so my son and I are interested in getting our AOW cert this year (currently we are both OW certified). We plan a couple of trips to the FL keys (we live in Orlando) this summer, and want to ensure that we can do at least one external wreck dive. I hear that some boat operators won't even...

Hi everyone. I'm trying to post a thread for the sale of a junior size 16, 3MM "Bare" vest (non-hooded), but cannot seem to post it. Keeps asking me to log in, even after I do. Any thoughts on why I can't seem to post the thread? Also, if anyone is interested in it, let me know. I'm looking for...

Hello from Florida, everyone. I'm new to the site. Been certified since the early 80's (certified while at a jobsite in Texas). However, due to relocations, I missed a ton of years of diving. My son (recently turned 16) has been pressing me to let him get certified. I finally agreed this past...
