    Been a while (covid, etc.) and I don't think I have shared this before (although at my age I am frequently wrong - but this is based in part in personal experience) . . . Now I’ve heard there was a secret cave That David dived and it eased his pain But you don’t really care for scuba, do ya? It...

    Question Crotch strap for a jacket BC

    You could make a loop around the fabric which holds the tank band and go down from there. I would use some half-inch nylon flat strapping and a plastic latch to make it easy to adjust - both available from any decent hardware store.

    I remember that movie, actually. I'm old enough, lord knows, and That pic's just about all I remember except for bits with Alan Ladd.

    Alcohol for nausea?

    Dave! It's been donkey's years, how are ya? Still on the island? Me, very long SI for family matters, covid, passings, etc. but maybe the BC reef society's 737 can lure me back. I know, it's not a grand adventure, but how many of us have swum through a jetliner? As to hangovers, I recently...

    Koko: neat reminiscence, thanks! Not sure my wife would approve, though.

    Best scuba advice you’ve received

    Dive plans must be consensual. If you've just explained the dive plan to a new (insta-) buddy, ask him or her to repeat it to you. Never assume that your buddy understood or agreed with the plan no matter how many times you saw them nodding as you spoke.

    Yukon Kudos

    It was a recent episode on basic TV - Mega Builders, IIRC. Look on the Artifical Reef Society of British Columbia website, maybe. It's now been in-water for years, should be sporting some impressive life if everything went as planned.

    Yukon Kudos

    Yeah. Long surface interval. Life and family and passings got in the way for a time, then the pandemic, yadda yadda. Watching a special on the logistics of setting down the 737 this week got me thinking aboot coming back up to BC for a dive series, hope I can still fit into my Whites. Hope the...

    Yukon Kudos

    Yukon is in SandyEggo, yes, and I've also dived her sister ship Mackenzie up in BC - Nanaimo, very close to the marina. I won't repeat the kudos I offered in the post above, but I have to again thank Milt Beard for a day spent interviewing him before he passed. Great stories, good footage, some...

    Yukon Kudos

    And today I am seriously considering diving the airliner the BC guys set down a couple of years ago. I might once again don my drysuit.

    Not to bump this thread, but here's something I came across today which I was working on more than a decade ago and never finished. You might not know the Gilbert and Sullivan original, so . . . for a stage version with very young Kevin Kline and Linda Rondstat: or for a star wars version...

    Maybe check the thread "Matrix II Dive Computer" from about 14 years ago. Started by user eggsnham, IIRC.

    Is it safe to wear a nose clip while scuba diving?

    I'm sure someone in this thread has already mentioned the open-flame method of burning the manufacturing grease and silicone buildup off the inside of the glass of a new mask. I've done that for scores of students who showed up for their first class with a brand-new and never-cleaned mask and I...
