"Scuba Diving magazine recognizes this historic attempt for the technical diving community, and sends condolences to his family and friends." ..................oh man

Andrew from Blue Foot Diving pumped a bunch of oil off the Jodrey and knows it like no other. He is also a real pioneer in the rebreather world. If you are a rebreather diver you'd be remiss not to dive with him. His boat is also right across the river from the Jodrey and convenient to where...

The most recent dust up regarding deco surrounded the Navy Experimental Diving Unit's tests of different profiles that seemed to suggest our former reliance on deep stops and the thought that "the bubble that forms deep will kill you" is completely misguided. It was a real human test with...

Unless you are looking for a watch size computer or need air integrated, it seems very obvious from borrowing one and seeing them take over the tech diving market almost completely that the Petrel is the bomb. Buddha pretty much sums it up in terms of features. Air integration seems really...

That sounds a little too high. If it's broken don't fix it indeed. Sherwood dry air bleed 1st stages will go forever. Mine was 20 yo when I had it serviced. After that I had to fix the 2nd atages since they disn't work right after service. 2nd stages it's easy to replace worn parts and...

Dutch springs has nothing on the new platforms placed at Bonnie castle. They are awesome !

How big are you and what kind of exposure suit will you be wearing?

Come on; you're a Divemaster/Instructor. It's not the kids you need to worry about. They learn fast and it's unnerving how good and comfortable they become. It's the parents you may have to rescue! Especially if they've been watching little Johnny the entire class instead of paying attention...

I'm lazy. That's why I don't log them. When I look at my old log books I regret that I didn't log more of my dives.

I think I was going too slow for it ultimately. It never really sucked on, just went up and down and back and forth; all around perhaps looking for a good spot. Seemed to say it itself, "this is a real piece of ****, I should move on." It did and checked out the divemaster. She thought it was...

Perhaps the only thread of all times where everyone agrees: Being a dive instructor is not a good way to make a living.

Somewhere a spare air salesmen just got a woody.

We'll be waiting with bated breath.

The strange stuff seems more memorable. I think it had to be a monster basking shark that passed RIGHT next to the boat, fin up, off Cape Cod just as we were discussing the increase in White Shark populations. At first we were dead frozen. The fin came up and then the tail a mile away...

That's probably good advice on the sealed regs. I have a dry air bleed sherwood that has lasted FOREVER with minimal maintenance.

It seems that is often the perception of a wing and plate; the setup is somehow advanced. It's really a very simple piece of gear. That said, I believe my friend was using you chosen BC and it looked very nice. I've been looking over my gear with an eye to create a reduced weight setup. I'd...

If you travel and go on a dive trip once or twice year, buying your own can be less costly than renting. As a traveling diver you may want to look at compact and light weight gear. I'm not familiar with the gear you listed, but I made my first non-local / cold trip in six years last week and I...

[/COLOR] Do you have a dive shop in Michigan close to you that will fill them past 2500? ---------- Post added January 6th, 2014 at 04:56 PM ---------- Yes should be obvious since C and F scale different as well. Maybe 10% is the number. I certainly lose a good bit in cold water, but...

There are LOTS of people like this and they and their tanks are fine. This picture trotted out is probably from Europe. They often do not have burst disks. I'm looking at my Inspiration valve and there is no burst disk. The comments regarding heat are not correct. A "hot" tank is not "10%"...

Your instructor is right. Get some more experience and you will better know what gear you need. Find a group of people that dive locally and get in with them. You might find there are more places to dive than you think. Sometimes 10-20' ponds are more interesting than you think and gearing...
