    Diver Accident 4/17/2011 Monterey

    Wow. This news is saddening. Thank you Ben for sending me the PM and getting me on here for this. I was actually planning on calling Kristina up in the coming months to do a Monterey Dive with me. She was one of the most helpful people I've met. One of the first to welcome me to the board and...

    Question about a situation

    Maybe I should have been a bit more specific with a bit less information. For one I'm not over weighted when I dive. Full tank, holding a normal breath holds me right about eye level on the water. Its not so much that I have a lot of air in my BC when I'm down there, its that it turns into a...

    Question about a situation

    One that is entirely avoidable by having a redundant air source or a buddy, but I've often wondered about this anyways. Your diving, and you have an OOA emergency at 50 feet. Whether solo or your buddy is too far, in this case your only option is to go up. Where I dive, at 50 feet deep...

    Observations during gf's cert. class

    Took OW in august this year, instructor had us learn with both the eRDPml as well as dive tables, although he didn't require us to purchase nice copies of them, he did have some printed out on white paper for us. It was good too see the difference between the two. I still need to get me some...

    Master.........Really?

    This is true, but some professions still have a 'Master' title that is well deserved. For instance, Master Chief, the sole remaining spartan in the halo video game series who basically single handedly saves the human race from destruction ;)

    Master.........Really?

    I just graduated with my degree in computer networking, and I've been wanting to slowly shoot towards my CCIE. I was under the impression having that certification really did make you 'master'. Your telling me otherwise? Perhaps I should rethink.

    Politics of scuba diving?

    I wish I was awesome enough to say so. I greatly look up to anyone with the skills it takes to be such a precise aim and the motivation to serve our country. No not me in this case, its an Apple Technician who happens to be really good at head shots on Modern Warfare 2 and Halo on the Xbox...

    The problem with SCUBA diving

    Just started diving a couple months ago. Only a few more dives after this weekend and I'll finally work my way out of the 0 - 24 category (hurray!). I'd go more often, but I find myself putting off renting gear sometimes so I can justify buying something a couple weeks later (I didn't spend 50...

    Politics of scuba diving?

    I figured that is who you were referring too. You quoted me with a paragraph, but all I really responded to you with was 'lol'. My other paragraph was responding to Johny, the poster above my comment. I found the connection between no political views and diving below 30 feet rather amusing...

    Politics of scuba diving?

    It just seemed to me that exploring and protecting reefs is more of an environmentalist hobby than anything else, and judging from what i've seen they tend to lean left. That was my only reasoning behind it, and its clearly just speculation i know. I was hoping to get more votes than what is had...

    Politics of scuba diving?

    Please read this before voting The moment I got into the sport, I have often wondered what the views were of the majority of other divers. It has seemed to me, that scuba diving would attract a more democratic/liberal/progressive/left wing crowd rather than a republican/conservative/tea...

    My first Underwater videos - GoPro Hero HD

    Agreed. The thread was about the camera, not touching sea life. As soon as I watched the video with the turtle, I had a feeling it would turn more or less into a touching discussion. There are plenty of threads (like the somewhat recent poll about riding marine life) where it is discussed in...

    Riding marine life

    That's right. Did he not use his own hair to tie them together and make a raft? If sea turtles can withstand that kind of stress, a simple grab and ride should be no problem :)

    Cold water first stage and second stage?

    I'm not getting a BP/W, at least not anytime soon. You are wrong, i'm positive there is a way to sling it with a jacket inflate BC. I've read that this configuration can be done, and read others explain how they have done it on similar BCs to mine. Even if I have to make a couple modifications...

    Cold water first stage and second stage?

    I've received plenty of your opinion on my diving in the past, so as long as your answer doesn't sound like a repeat of what you've already stated multiple times, that's fair enough. I have a Seaquest Pro XLT BC. The black diamond was one I was considering, but didn't end up going for. It has...

    Cold water first stage and second stage?

    Peter, I'm asking questions to learn. Don't preach to me. I don't care what you think about my diving. Besides you CAN set up a pony side mounted to a jacket inflate BC successfully. I've read it and seen it. just because I have questions doesn't disqualify me for anything.

    Cold water first stage and second stage?

    Am going with the pony. Whats the best way to have the regulator setup with that? First and second stage attached to the pony bottle itself, but second stage readily accessible? I never really thought about it till now, but if I have a pony bottle slung with the second stage out attached to my...

    Cold water first stage and second stage?

    I don't plan on using a console. My computer and compass are going to be mounted on my wrist. I don't have a BP/W, but I do like that hose setup. I don't have a backup yet, so for now one of the second stages is going to be used as an octopus, with the 28/40 inch setup. Once I get my second...

    Cold water first stage and second stage?

    I got the HOG regs in the classifieds. 2 second stages and a first stage, without the hoses though. I'm hoping its not too much for the hoses and to have my LDS install them.
