I have no knowledge about this incident or what type of diver Dr Stodghill was other than what was in the newspapers. I will say, however, that if the reports in the paper are true, it is sad that he didn't drive across the Ohio river to Mermet Springs and take a Scuba Skills Update class or...

Welcome! Both of my children were certified at or about age 12 and both are in their late teens now. My wife is also certified and we have enjoyed diving as a family. I hope you and your son have just as rewarding of an experience! As for Bahamas, you might look into some of the live aboard...

Welcome aboard and to a new life as a diver!

LoL Doc! It swims dunnit? That makes it edible

Hey all, have a suunto solution circa 1995 that I use as a backup computer. Yes, it still works! Upon removing backplate yesterday to replace the battery, it cracked just above the bottom two screws. Looking for anyone that might be willing to sell either the plate or the whole computer if...

Been a while since I posted. Thank you all for the input, its a tremendous help. I have some research to do, but my gut feeling was to put together my own "excursion" day. I have lots of time so I will look into all the great recommendations and come up with a plan. Much appreciated...

Hey all, looking for someone with experience arranging a cenote excursion out of Scuba Club Cozumel. Am planning a trip there next year and and would like to take 1 day to hit the cenotes. I have spoken with the resort and they have provided some information, but I am interested in finding out...

Hmmm, not so sure about all this, but I would add an addendum: Do not buy garage sale/ebay/craigslist/online retailer regulator unless you want to impress the recovery diver by how frugal you were just before it quit working. I dove an Aqualung Micra for years but had to travel an hour and a...

Welcome aboard! Better late than never, grats on your accomplishments and goals! I love working with kids, thanks for leading the next gen divers and helping keep this great sport alive and well.

Hey, now, I kinda like mysp,it fins...unless I have to turn, go backwards, or enter tight spaces....come to think of it, I never dive in them, but they're great for swimming laps.... As far as lens wipers, I don't see it taking off. 2 simple, free tricks for clearing that usually work if your...

I don't know anything about ramadan, but if dehydration is a concern, you might find good information from DANs website, The DAN "More Water, Less Bubbles" safety campaign. DAN started the "More Water, Less Bubbles" campaign at the end of 2012. Articles in Alert Diver magazine and on the DAN...

Hope your problem is solved and you have safe, dry diving this weekend. For future reference, a friend of mine told me aqua seal will only act as a short term solution if it works at all, apparently it doesn't adhere well to the gloves. He suggested I use a 50-50 mix of aqua seal and MEK...

Look, Mate, this is what used to be THE United States of America, so far as I know you should apologize not apologise. Aside from that minor tidbit, ty for the perspective. Been a long time since I dove very far from home (US, Bahamas) and I hadn't realized DIN was as pervasive as all that...

And THAT is the primary reason to avoid this situation all together! How many times have I made it to the ticket counter only to find that my bag is 1lb over weight?! Man, I hate that. Excellent info, Z, far more well-informed than I could ever have uttered. Thanks for clarifying. When I...

Warrenz, notice a lack of red in kel's picture? I think your "jerk rub" will need more seasoning. DIN dis, Yoke Dat,; come si, come sa; tomaeto, tomaaaato; potaeto, potaaaato. Been in yokes since the dawn of time as we know it and never had an issue. 3000 psi does an amazing job holding a...

Can't vouch for your agency or policy with your instructor(s), but it is common to do all the watermanship skills in succession on the same day. Talk to your instructor for clarification. Good Luck and enjoy! It's a challenging course but loads of fun and a great confidence builder! Safe Diving

Herman, I totally agree that newer is not necessarily better and safer, unless the old stuff can't be reasonably serviced and maintained or it is very uncomfortable. At my LDC, my friend, the service tech still has double hose regs that we play with on occasion! Tanks with J-valves and no...

Imho, your best bet is to work with your local shop to find the most comfortable and safest gear In your budget. If they sell it, they can fit it, train you in its proper use and most likely service it anually. Do yourself and your buddies a favor and get new gear. Having been originally...
