    I am going to be in Boca / Deerfield Beach the week of the 13th. I have the opportunity to do a 2 tank on the morning of the 14th with a co-worker. He is only OW with about 45 dives and it has been a year and a half since his last dive. So we are limited to easier sites / dives. I did a web...

    Redundant air with a drysuit

    Soon to be a new drysuit owner, and one of the things I started wondering about was the use of redundant air with a drysuit. I have no plans of going to doubles, but do sometimes carry a 40CF for redundancy. This may be a stupid question, but do people put an inflator hose on their redundant...

    Phuket - Price Negotiability

    I haven't seen much here about price negotiability. Curious as to peoples experience, and what kind of pricing you are able to secure, particularly in the off season, for day trips from Phuket.

    What can happen when your gear is not properly secured?

    On a boat dive today, in between dives, I had changed over my tank and thought it had been properly secured. Apparently it wasn't. The tie-down came loose when a wave hit the boat, the tank took a header, and this was the result. Scratch a tank valve, an inflator hose, and the DIN fitting on my...

    A reminder to check your hoses - and remove the strain reliefs!

    Last night I did dive 11 of this season, dive 11 since my regs were serviced. In spite of the fact that the service was very recent, I had a failure. Don't be complacent! In prepping for the dive I found a large crack in the outer casing of my high pressure hose approximately 1/4" / .64cm from...
