    Rule of 6th's ????

    This was the same type course I had through NAUI. This equates to a INTRO level cave diver limited to non-decompression linear penetration on a single tank with no T's, jumps or restrictions. Some INTRO courses allow doubles, but you have to limit the air time to same as single (1/6ths...

    Rule of 6th's ????

    Basic Cave Diving by Sheck Exley... Ten Recommendations... Rule 2; "Always use the 1/3 rule in planning your air supply." I agree fully with the understanding that this is the upper (maximum/suicidal) range, and Exley stipulates that additional air should be reserved for current, visibility...

    Rule of 6th's ????

    I was taught that it was 1/3's even in doubles. You still need 2/3's to exit with a buddy even in doubles.

    Best diving in the Bahamas on March?

    I just returned from two Freeport dives with Unexso. Had a great time and they are a professional operation. They are, however, the primary excursion operator for the cruise ships so expect large crowded boats. Another choice for a smaller operator is Fred Riger @ Grand Bahama Scuba. Have no...

    long hose + bungeed octo for rec diving

    I had a recent occurrence that has converted me to a bungied backup during rec diving. For some odd reason (at a safe depth) my buddy decided to try and open his second stage regulator to simulate fixing a flooded regulator. I knew as soon as I saw what he was doing that this was not going to...

    Panama City Trip Report

    Had an excellent weekend in Panama City. We were worried about the weather but had beautiful skies. We drove down on Friday and our first dive was at dusk on the Black Bart. The seas were rough (about 3 ft) but the dive went well. Our first dive on the Bart and we were the only divers there...

    Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata

    I was able to take a shuttle from Puarta Plata to Sosúa where most of the dive shops are located. There are 3-5 dive operations there in Sosúa. The water is not that pretty, but I went cave diving with the swiss dive operation and they were wonderful. The caves were large and very safe. We...
