    Vision correction

    I agree with contact lenses too... I wear them for three years in diving with no problem, I had leak on the mask, when I practice mask clearing i have no problems. Now I got lasik eye surgery and it's wonderfull. I don't know if it,s an option for you but it changed my entire life, for the better.

    Foolishness

    On a woodeen wreck, 2 divers entering the stern section that still have a deck (about 5 ft wide and 20 ft long) change the viz from 30 ft to 1 ft with innapropriate finning. We were just after them and it's a luck that we know the place really well.

    Clothing advice for liveaboard

    Actually we took all they had of hot chocolate... they were welcome especially after night dive. And for those who worries for the caffeine let's say that after 3-4 dives int 73-75 degrees water you don't have any sleeping problem.

    Who's your buddy?

    My husband usually take the lead, especially if navigation is involved, I'M a big zero with the compass :confused: but in general he knows he can count on me if someting happens to him... He saw me intervene with other divers in trouble. I would suggest perhaps a little simulation, show...

    DAN, have you ever use it ???

    Sorry I should be more clear... I'm looking for facts. I know that in the case of a emergency one of the first thing to do after first aid is to call Dan whatever if the diver is insured or not. my intention is if I need to use it one day I can learn by someone else experience what to expect.

    What Is The Most Important Skill For A New Diver?

    I was tempted to say buyoancy first... then if I remember when I was a newby and the couple of newly certified I saw one week ago I finally answer Buddy skills and communication. When you are a newby you just don't want to lose your buddy and get along. Buyoancy Is really important too and not...

    Question about Ear Barotrauma

    my husband had a ear barautrauma in the first time we were diving. he ascended too fast from 15 to 0, bad story. he got medication and stay out of the water for few weeks, and never had the problem again. He learned, the hard way. You can find at the drug store a product to clear you ear. In...

    Disturbing advice given

    I think that there is a difference between saving your life and take the perfect picture. Usually in panic or in a situation where your life is in danger I dont think any brain could have ecological consideration... If on a dive on a wall I see a diver grabbing the coral, I will assume he have...

    Pre-Dive Safety checks

    More efficient than any cup of coffee, but not very good for the mood... So I don't recommend it on a daily basis ;)

    Experienced Divers: Will You Dive With Newbies?

    usually I'm happy to help newbies, or less experienced divers. I was the newby once and learned a lot diving with experienced divers, and continue to learn. Diving with newbies is also a way to learn. But once on a charter we paid we were 2 buddies who planned a deep dive in cold water (100 feet...

    Blackbeard for OW certification referral?

    I'm just back from a BB cruise and I witness someone who did his AOW. Most of the dive can be done at 60' or shallower, and I saw few divers with fresh OW certification that really enjoyed the trip. If you are coming from a really cold water place Iwould say why not, especially if the pool...

    Ear equalization tips

    I have the same problem and I have almost 200 dives... last week I was at the olympic stadium for a dive in the pool and It took me about 5 minutes to go at the deepest level (about 48 feet). The most common tchnique (valsalva) doesn't work with me, so I try to chew. I just move my jaw and it...
