Dive Rescue Intnl.

Rescue Diver I Cheers,

Howdy fellas, I'm looking for some info. I will be attending a dive rescue class in Framingham, MA next week - about thirty miles from Boston. Are there any divers in that general area that could recommend a dive shop for some tank rentals? Cheers,

Paddler, You would be wise to heed RedHead's advice and not think about clipping a lift bag or SMB to your now defunct bouyancy compensator. Doing so would not only increase your ascent, but it would also increase your chances for a stay in your local hyperbearic chamber. Here is my freely...

Rope and the steering wheel trick works very well for me. And, like most guys, a slow rotation is the key. I have blown out two zippers using this method but I think it's due more to my being too tall for the suit than the actual pulling. Nine feet tall in a five foot suit - not cool, even if...

Hell yeah! Team think...hey, I don't even know that my solo inclinations even allow me to post on this group board. Back to the shadows, or to consult with my attorney to see if this post has exposed me to legal liability. Covertly yours,

Mike, I think you're right. Perhaps more so when the fire or police department is more rural with limited resources. In a larger metropolitan city, however, it seems to be that way because much of the structure is already there. For example, the guys are on duty already, can respond twenty-four...

In theory it would work. For a few reasons I would not trust it for anything other than our standard uses. First, it measures four gasses (O2, CO, H2S and LEL). Therefore, it has more than just a single detector in it. More moving parts introduces more points of failure. A standard diving...

Good question! First, knowing that my right arm is dominant, I'd flex my hulking bicep thereby stretching the entanglement to its breaking point freeing myself to continue searching for more daring underwater obstacles against which to test myself. Second, after spending the appropriate amount...

Do any DUI owners have the 2 1/2 x 5 inch folding knife pocket on their suit? I'm thinking of having one put on the inside of my left forearm for my shears. If you do, where is it mounted, do you like it, would you recommend it? Thanks.

I'd certainly be interested.

Thanks, Bob! Guess I should actually use the light I keep dragging in with me :D

Do you remember which boat?

Dr. K, I can't speak too much to the age issue other than to say don't let it stop you. I began diving at fifteen and had no problem working into the advanced and instructor ranks before I turned eighteen. Of course, that is anecdotal and you may find your situation different. Just don't let...

I lean toward agreeing with you, Nemrod. I too dive with my spare turned on. Less to think about and more sure of equipment operation. (I sling a 30.) Though I'd like to hear more about the rationale for leaving it in the off position until you need it - especially for those who rig it on a back...

Last week at cove I turned around to swim out after putting on my fins and was face to face with a seal. Unfortunately my breath must have smelled more like corndogs than herring because he quickly ducked under and disappeared. Perhaps it's the same guy. And I don't know about you but I much...

The reaction was no reaction.

Great pictures, Phil! Don't know about you, but after my first wreck dive I knew the whole reason for being able to breathe underwater. Cheers,

Thanks Krusty, Those were replies to a similar post I set in the wreck diving forum. Unfortunately, I have been given the reaction I suspected... Thanks again,

Hm, Must have been something I said...
