    Can you dive wet in Iceland?

    Just found out that because I'm 60+, I need a physician's note as well. I might schedule a trip to a whisky bar instead :wink:

    Can you dive wet in Iceland?

    It's not a matter of not getting it down, I didn't have any trouble with the gear, I just find a dry suit uncomfortable/unnatural, if that makes sense. The cold water in the North Atlantic doesn't bother me wet.

    Can you dive wet in Iceland?

    I am planning to be in Iceland in July, and would like to get in a dive, specifically the "touch the two continents" dive. I have dived dry, and do not like it. I have dived wet in New England in 40*F water. Is wet an option, or is dry the only option?

    Last minte trip to Key West dive op questions

    Advanced recreational diving is probably the best way to describe it. Wrecks, but no penetration, sea life, I'm not fussy. I don't get to dive warm water very often so anything is great. I don't need any service, really. Blowy is not good though, bummer.

    Had a trip planned for this week to Europe, that we're replacing with Key West. Losing money, but at least I'll get a day of diving in. Who can anyone recommend for a dive op? Thanks for the last minute advise.

    Diver death at Old Garden Beach, MA

    He was from the same dive shop as me. We dove together many times. He leaves twin 4 year old boys. Tragedy does not begin to describe it.

    Dive Op on Nantucket?

    We've got a place on Nantucket for a week this summer. I couldn't find any dive ops listed for the island. Is it going to be a no dive week? I'm the only diver going, so no big deal, but wouldn't have minded a day out if possible.

    I wasn't criticizing him, I was criticizing you.

    Hear it from this diver! Staph and Sepsis is NO JOKE (graphic photos)

    Diver0001, you are 100% correct. The problem isn't the health care system in the US, it's people not taking responsibility for their actions and decisions, then expecting others, the government, etc. to bail them out. It's no different than people buying houses they can't afford, running up...

    Is there any demo video performing rescue skill - remove people from water

    Personally, I would not use that type of carry, but I'm not saying it's wrong, just not what I would do. Here's why - Once you get them out of the water, they lose their buoyancy and you have a lot of dead weight. That dead weight can pull you backwards and over because of the leverage factor...

    Is there any demo video performing rescue skill - remove people from water

    Conscious or unconscious? You can't piggyback an unconscious victim. The size of the rescuer and patient will also have a bearing on how to extricate the victim. Bottom line, you need a variety of options. Practice all off them. Don't teach a single way because if that way is not possible...

    Gopro black 5 or 6? And wheres the gopro info sticky thread for newbie questions?

    I got the 6, and with the right cards it works like a champ. Since I was upgrading from a 3, I needed new cards anyway. I always used the Wasabi batteries and charger with no issues. I opted for the GoPro one this time. I always carry three batteries, whether filming above or below water. I...

    Diving in St Thomas while on Cruise ship

    We used Admiralty from a cruise and they couldn't have been better. Excellent dives, washed our gear for us and got us back in plenty of time.

    Rescue Dog

    Walking along a dock in Key Largo last week, we saw a guy with a Beagle puppy. The guy said he was a rescue. His name was sBeagle, he said he named him that because he was a wreck when he got him.
