Are there any nations where diving with a breathing set is tightly restricted, or allowed only for work and the armed forces? Are there many police or armed forces operations which result in bulk seizure of scuba gear? If so, what happens to it? If it is incinerated, what happens to...

Look at this Youtube video "Double Hose Regulators: "Around the world in 11 minutes"" for lots of makes of twin-hose open-circuit scuba regulators. Who makes twin-hose open-circuit scuba regulators now? Here is a CGI image that I made.

Closed-circuit automatic rebreather diving on nitrox is easily catered for, because ppO2 meters are readily available, and, knowing also the depth pressure, keeping the mixture correct is easy, as many of you know. But trimix (oxygen and nitrogen and helium) diving is a different matter, and...

Today's (Monday 19 July 2021)'s issue of the Daily Telegraph British newspaper has on its page 1 (Drones to patrol wartime sea graves) and page 8 (Underwater drones to protect Navy sea graves from bounty hunters) two items about plans to protect against illegal salvaging of war-grave wrecks. It...

A query about a point that has caused comment about my CGI scuba diving images: What proportion of scuba divers can equalize their ears without pinching their noses (either by hand or by a noseclip)? I can do it easily routinely, by pinching my nose by the action of 2 small muscles called...

Due to age I am now out of the active diving scene. In Britain, and across the world, how much has active sport diving (weekend and one-day diving, and diving holidays) been affected by the coronavirus public lockdown?, apart from what I know via the newspapers and the television news.

How can I get a list of links to all the messages that I have sent to ScubaBoard?

I found this image in a Youtube video recently.

What is the latest news about the Calypso (Cousteau's boat)? For information, see RV Calypso - Wikipedia Is it likely to sail again?

This Youtube video ("Creative Airports And Airlines That Will Surprise You With Their Creativity"), at its time 3.30, shows a big wall painting of 2 (modern single-hose) life-size scuba divers among stylized bubbles and seabed -- and attached to the wall, one at each of the divers, 2...

Removing objects from the sea is forbidden in some conservation areas including the Red Sea. OK. But, in these days of public awareness about plastic in the sea, how would authorities in such an area react if divers, or a diver, came back from a dive with goodie bags full, but only of (new and...

I am aware of current disapproval of spearfishing as being destructive to sea life. But there seems to be a recent encouragement of spearfishing to try to control or eliminate the lionfish (Pterois volitans) in areas where it is a destructive recent invader (Mediterranean, Caribbean). What is...

How has scuba diving in Britain been coping with the recent weather?

To those of you who dive in European sea, have any of you seen or heard of any red king crab (Red king crab - Wikipedia, Paralithodes camtschaticus ) yet? It was introduced artificially by the Soviet Union into the Murmansk Fjord, Barents Sea, during the 1960s, and since then it has spread to...

See:- Philippe Tailliez - Wikipedia As he was likely photographed countless times when he was diving along with Cousteau and Dumas, can a better leading image of him (within Wikipedia's copyright rules) be found than that monochrome photograph of an old man? Does anyone know what he died of...

Are any sorts of the old-type "horsecollar" diver's inflatable lifejackets still available to buy new? Fenzy seems to have stopped when Honeywell took them over. BRAND NEW (Discontinued): Buddy Pacific ABLJ Horsecollar bcd! That link seems to say that the Buddy Pacific has been discontinued.

Does anyone know what happened to the Sea Surveyor (Red Sea diving liveaboard)? I had two Red Sea diving holidays on it, soon after the Red Sea diving trade started.

Fort Bovisand - Wikipedia I have come across links saying that Fort Bovisand is going to be turned into posh apartments. If so, it won't be a public diving facility any more. It was ideal as a diving centre. I have had holidays there. Why can't it stay as a diving centre? It was a very good...
