    Physics of diving with a "straw"

    I know this might be an odd question, and I think I understand the reason why it can't be done for deep dives, but just wanted to make sure. (brainfart) Thought problem: If a diver wanted to go deep and had a hose that somehow was able to extend as he descended but while still having the...

    Question about equipment timeline

    Well what I meant was referring to the GUE article, heres the quote from their site: Many divers prefer a high-performance, balanced, second stage as their primary regulator, and a slightly lower performance, unbalanced, second stage as their backup.6 This proven configuration gives a diver...

    Question about equipment timeline

    I have a few questions regarding an article on GUE’s website for DIR equipment. I know some of these questions might be more basic than others but I am trying to figure out what my equipment list for shopping should be and what would benefit me first in my buying timeline. Here is a list...

    Fatality Off Miami Beach - Florida

    When we finally anchored, the captain briefed everyone on the location and the time to return back to the boat. After this time people began splashing in the water. From the time we set the anchor and the time I splashed in the water, it was about 7 minutes. I was seated in the boat starboard...

    Fatality Off Miami Beach - Florida

    this is correct, she was doggie paddling back to the line attached to the buoy heading away a from the stern of the boat, she splashed about 2 divers after I entered the water and at no point while I was on the surface did I see her return to the boat. I was actually at 17 feet below the boat...

    Fatality Off Miami Beach - Florida

    Furthermore, person who ever mentioned the term "doggie paddle" was myself to the homicide detective during an open interview. The victim doggie paddled on the initial entry to the boat while I was on the line and was "doggie paddling" her way to the buoy line behind the boat with her mask on...

    Fatality Off Miami Beach - Florida

    Dj nailed it and I think the two doctors deserve more credit than they received, they took primary care of the victim I just assisted but I do recall that ARI was next to the two Asian divers on the boat when we were underway to emerald reef I sat across from them on the starboard side of the...

    Fatality Off Miami Beach - Florida

    Nobody knows 100% what really happened, all we know is that we found her tank attached to her BC with the reg at 2400 lbs left, no fins or mask on the body recovered just the diver and wetsuit (weight belt was removed before she was placed on boat). I wasn't the person who recovered the body, I...

    Fatality Off Miami Beach - Florida

    I believe her intent was just to have a friendly dive with the new friend she had met who happened to be Asian as well and was a pilot, the victim was a stewardess so they clicked together and ended up diving the next day, a shame though.

    Fatality Off Miami Beach - Florida

    No. When I was gearing up for the dive I recall the divemaster asking someone for their C-cards but as we were preparing to be underway the was the last time I heard that. I admit that most people didnt expect something to happen on a reef at max 25' depth but thats what DOES happen. People...

    Fatality Off Miami Beach - Florida

    I was one of the divers on the boat yesterday (The EMT) that did CPR on her on the way back to Miami Beach Marina. This really should not of happened yesterday and we did what we could but she was down for at least half an hour. As far as her mask on her head, I was the diver that motioned her...
