    What would you do in this situation?

    Buddy roulette is bull***** Bring your own or be prepared to dive solo. Ive heard too many stories and have had dives ruined myself. Its a good idea to talk to the captain before hand.

    Marine Microscopy - anyone ever check out specimens from a dive under a microscope?

    Anyone ever take water or specimens back from a dive and check them out under a microscope? I bet theres alot of cool stuff to see. Id be curious to see the differences between the life forms found outside a wreck and inside of it.

    Can Light Cord Route

    sorry, not trying to pick a fight with anyone. his point is valid, having the light cord clipped off over the long hose could make for a messy air share. i just felt that "ending up with a dead buddy" seemed alittle strong. again, my apologies.

    Can Light Cord Route

    i have a hard time seeing someone getting killed because their buddy clipped their light with the light cord going over the long hose. i would think there would be enough slack to get the second stage to your buddy.

    Solo diving and back up gear.

    Isolator Manifold Procedures for solo divers in particular

    If one of your second stages is free-flowing you shut down that post, obviously. but if you have a leak comming from a first stage or from a tank neck o-ring how do you go about identifying where the leak is comming from and shutting it down? ive heard you can put your hands back there and...

    CESA limits

    if i can free-dive to 50' should i really be doing a CESA from 100' ? i know padi teaches CESA for depths of 40' or less. i would think there might be a risk of DCS especially after a good amount of on-gassing and then theres always the risk of AGE if you panic and dont let go of your breath...

    Why does solo have a big future?

    i hope if she does, the defendant counter-sues for court costs & emotional duress.

    Ever seen an O-Ring blow?

    i guess they dont make the gear like they used to! i was actually at fault in the above mentioned incident. i had re-attached the hp hose and only hand tightened it. this happened 6 months later, so i imagine it was lose enough to unscrew enough to let the o-ring extrude. now i know better!
