    Breaking the rules Confessional

    What is it they say in The Matrix during Kung Fu training? "some rules can be bent and some can be broken" and "Do you really believe this is air you are breathing??? " Remember, it is not the spoon that bends, but the world around it, ��

    Four dead in Italian cave

    So very sad...but if I may just add one comment it is that instead of trashing DM lead dives, one should remember that any and all divers should not dive beyond their training, ability and comfort zone. This is a point that is teached at the very beginning of scuba, be it padi, cmas, naui, ssi...

    Near Incident - Dive with a Divemaster, Instructor and Family of 4

    Did you discuss the turnaround pressure before the dive? 100 bar should be the turnaround for about any dive, ascend a bit and swim back. Good decision making on your part though. r.

    DM guide vs. random buddy

    So most of you would rather dive alone in an area you are not familiar with rather than with somebody who is for sure rescue trained, knows the conditions, the spot and probably has a decent amount of experience? Thats some self confidence ( i hope i get there someday). I personally would take...

    Recommendations on Greece diving!

    I am based in Paros (naoussa) for the summer until the end of the september working as a divemaster in a dive center. September is an excellent time to come, the weather is great, the wind not too strong, the sea warm and the vis very good. You can do wreck diving and reef diving (speciality...

    Which PADI Course: Divemaster or Master Scuba Diver

    Switch to cmas and do your 3* after your rescue, you will see another way to dive that will broaden your experience if you dont want to go into teaching scuba. Saturation dives rock ^^. r.

    Proper care for scuba gear?

    Thats about it. Rinse with freshwater is pretty much all it takes. You can also rinse the inside bladder of the bcd with some freshwater once in a while. Service your regs once a year. Dont dry anything in the sun. With care like this your gear will last you for years. r.

    Lesson Learned - Self-Sufficiency, Unsafe/Incompetent Divers and the "Insta-Buddy"

    Good judgement comes with experience, experience comes from poor judgement...now you have some experience ;) As was said, make a stop at 3-5 meter when diving past 30m, even if you have only 10 bar left and you should be fine and your computer will be happy. Be prepared to inflate your bcd...

    Computer Basics

    Wrist mounted and not console, forget the remote air monitor gimmick, use a trusted spg, find one with a good display easy to read and ease of menu changes. Pretty much all the computers will give you both ndl diving and saturation diving. Different manufacturers and software / algorithm will...

    Scary OW certification weekend

    I really can not believe an instructor would let back in the water after a panic bolt to the surface, coughing pink foam and recieving O2. No way. r.

    The "ghetto" Scuba Camera set-up

    You are probably right, made in the usa it would cost $30, your local bank would give you a consumer equity loan on it at 100X face value so you can buy another plasma screen, the loan would be packaged and sold to Fanny Mae and get a AAA rating, cut in principle and interest tranches and resold...

    330 metres sous les mers / Deeper documentary (1000ft scuba record)

    Hello, I have just watched an amazing documentary on french tv about Pascal Bernabe's world record dive to 330 metres (1000 ft). The doc is very well made and thrilling to watch. I do believe the production company has released a download version in english (Deeper). 330 Mètres sous les...
