I have a Suunto logbook; I bought it after I filled my PADI one that came with the training records. Usually I fill the log after the dive (for multiple dives it's something to do during surface interval) and I try to write all mistakes that happened so I'll remember not to do them again, as...

If near water: Jessica Alba, a bungalow and ... that's it; If in the city, isolation suit and a crow-bar (anyone played HalfLife around here?) Otherwise, a knife (or cutting tool) and can't think of anything else ... It would depend on the environment though (and Jessica I guess).

There are much more, but I'd rather not turn this thread into a list of achronyms (if you search for BWRAF you should find a list of threads on this though).

I'm not sure; My point was that I don't think they (they buddy pair) even checked the way the tank was strapped, and the strap was placed diagonally on the tank. I know that it can (should) become a reflex; What I meant with this thread was that, during the safety check most divers I've been...

hi all, Thinking back I've seen a few small mistakes that could have been caught in the pre-dive safety check (the BWRAF thingy for PADI), so I was wondering if any others that have gone through any incidents like that care to share what they've seen (so I might get some more ideas what else...

Hi, for stab-jacket, you might want to have a loog at the libra from Tripple-L / Scuba-L. It's less then 200 USD and it should be good; I have the Orion from the same company and it proved great up to now (I had around 50 dives on it).

well ... I'm 100% male :D

Here's my 2c on white balance: As you go deeper, the light coming from above becomes bluer/greener. As such, unless the water is unusually clear (visibility > 20m), you will have to readjust the white balance as you change depth: If you set your WB at (say) 20m and take some shots that come...

Actually I think it helps with removing excess nitrogen. The first aid for DCI is pure O2; If O2 is unavailable, then enriched air should do it; I think it's the same principle even in the absence of DCI: less N2 percentage in the air should help after a dive.

Here's my take on it: I think the panic was partly due to confort level (when you looked at your SPG), partly due to colder water: colder water usually sets your breathing to a more rapid pace (especially if you don't expect or are not used to it) and if you don't watch that it's easy to...

huh? I thought the D350 was the Rebel XT. You might also want to look into the Nikon d50. (I was a fan of canon and wanted to switch to rebel and in the end I switched to the Nikon d50). Featurewise they are around the same level, and the price is more conveninent on the nikon.

I managed to find only two pictures with google image search, and not many more links. It apparently has the same display as the ScubaPro Xtender (or mostly similar). If the size is about the same it should be prety visible uw. my 2c.

yeah ... join the club :( Did you by chance do a giant stride with the casing in your hand?

Anyway, after you fix it, fill the casing with napkins and take it diving; It's better to get wet napkins after the dive than sunken camera :) my .02$

That might not be the best solution. I think I'd prefer sharing air of one of us were to go below 50 (on the safety stop for example). This way, if you have to do an exit while breaking from your buddy (rough surface for example) you can keep going with your own regulator for a few more minutes...

Yes. I'm not exactly sure why it happened, but we (my buddy) had this situation during the second dive on Sunday, while ascending on the line. I asked him his air level and signaled that he had bubbles comming out and asked if he wanted to share air. It was not leaking much (just a continuous...

Malta has some spectacular sites and is only 80km from Sicily.

Mine (Cressi Ellipse Titanium) smelled like oil and plastic for the first dives on it.
