    Finding a mask to seal on my bearded face

    I use Atomic Venom Frameless with full beard. The Gummi Bear silicone really does seem to help with facial hair. Venom Frameless Scuba Mask | Atomic Aquatics

    Reel for Dive flag/Surface Marker Buoy?

    I, and my wife, have the Apeks Lifeline Ascend. Yes they are expensive but they are as perfect a reel as you could ask for. Solid, well built using good materials and work when you need it with minimal fuss even with heavy gloves or cold water. We have used many times without any complaints...

    Apeks WTX Surelock weight pocket placement question

    I’ve found your waist size determines the position the most, and then the position of the pockets/D-rings. I have a very narrow waist and cannot use at the largest or even middle positions without compromising the the size of the waist. If you have a larger waist then you have the option to...

    Deep 6 Eddy Size

    Simply question. What size should I order? I wear size 11D shoe (US). I wear Waterproof B1 6.5mm XL Semi-dry neoprene boots. Half the stuff I see suggests LG and the other half XL. I won’t be using these for drysuit diving, just wetsuit.

    Fins - something very similar to Power Plana but less negatively buoyant

    I have been struggling to find my perfect fin for years. I tend to dive BP/W with steel plate and full 5mm-7mm exposure. I prefer a relatively stiff/wide fin ideal for frog kicking manouverability. I also prefer simple with no gimmicky features and basic rubber or similar which is nigh...

    Red Sea liveaboard fire

    From Aggressor directly there is no permanent boat yet. Scuba Scene is bigger than those specs, therefore I can only assume those are left from the Aggressor I or based on what they are looking for in a replacement.

    Red Sea liveaboard fire

    Looking for quality/luxury alternatives to the non-existent Red Sea Aggressor III. We can cancel/refund anytime. We are more concerned about being left hanging with time off but no boat.

    Red Sea liveaboard fire

    We have been speaking with them every week since the fire. They do NOT have a replacement for March 2020 yet even though the website says that (PR spin at its best/worst). I’m sure the reason they post that is to give illusion its business as usual so folks don’t back out and keep booking, not...

    Red Sea liveaboard fire

    The Scuba Scene is only temporary until the end of December. They claim they will have a new boat by 2020/03 when we are booked (each week they say they will have a new boat the next week... but then the same thing again). I'm not going to keep risking having no boat due to everything else...

    Recommendation for Red Sea liveaboard

    We were booked on Aggressor I for 2020/03 but with the unfortunate events plans have to change. Aggressor keeps stalling with no definate plans to purchase a new boat. They are only temporarily leasing the Scuba Scene until the New Year with no permanent plans in place. Each week we get the...

    What size wing for new BP/W?

    Thanks for the advice. It sounds like the Apeks WTX 30lb wing might be my best choice if similarly streamlined to the 18lb one. I was just hesitant as my current Zeagle with 35lb lift wing is quite oversized and don't want to repeat my error. I want a minimalistic setup that still meets my...

    What size wing for new BP/W?

    I tried the buoyancy calculator but seems to be really overestimating what I will need in my new BP/W and wanted to get some opinions. My current rig consists of: Zeagle Ranger BCD (with Stiletto wing - 35lbs) - I typically don't need any/little air at all in the wing during dives. Mares Power...

    Yes/No requirement for Med form

    Sigh. You know what they say about fighting with pigs. Gotta love the little attempt at an insult at the end. The only one here looking to be obeyed seems to be you, as the untrained medical professional overriding the professional judgement of physicians and the medical education of their...

    Yes/No requirement for Med form

    If you were my patient I would actually take the time to explain why these simple medical strategies are a guarantee (i.e. works 100% of the time) they will not suffer hypoglycemia if they follow them. You have demonstrated already that that would be a complete waste of my time with you. Let...

    Yes/No requirement for Med form

    Yes, there are steps to guarantee no hypoglycemia that are simple and take place on the surface before you dive. The information and strategy is sound and I provide it to my patient. I will even get them to repeat it back to me to ensure understanding. I have no control over whether they...

    Flesh eating bacteria question

    LOL, isn’t there a section for flesh eating “zombie” bacterial infections? Probably right beside congenitally malformed earlobes - yes/no.
