    How long to 'break in' a new wetsuit?

    :confused: If I'm reading you right, and by "breaking it in" you mean loose it's buoyancy, you wan't this to happen as slowly as possible. Wetsuits are made of closed cell neoprene with thousands of micro air bubbles imbeded in the rubber-like material, and it's thickness (resulting in high...

    This is actually one of the first threads started by a troll that has turned out to be educative and informative! Thank you Mr. Troll! (I think you should all thank him as well) Therefore, I will bite. -Can you drive a car without a seat belt? Sure! -Can you own a house without fire...

    How old can u scuba dive to?

    On land, I feel clumbzy, stressed and my back hurts. Under, it's the exact opposit. I prefer to ask myself this question... how long will I be able to walk? Add 15 years to that number and that's how long I'll be diving!

    Anyone ever have a close call going solo?

    Spearfishing on the back side of the 3rd reef in SOFLO, (90ft) my flag line somehow got locked up in the split ring of my console retractor. Because of all my gear, (catch bag and slung pony) I had to take my BC off to fix the problem. Not a huge deal, but close to NDL with a rippppping current...

    One handed computer backlight operation?

    I find that when shining your light on any instrument, it anvariably reflects in your eyes to some degree, temporarily reducing your night vision.

    Reigning most popular BCD line?

    I have a Zeagle ranger and I LOVE it. The only problem is that after 2 years and 100 dives, it just fell apart! All the stitching started to fail and because of the stitch style they use, the minute you have a thread that breaks, it starts to "run" and unravel. I tried to slow down the...

    Bad Sunday night: pain after diving

    It does not sound like DCS to me at all. Symptoms of DCS rarely effect mirror image parts of the body (both shoulders) and your symptoms went away much, much, much to fast. Sounds like a "tank lifting injury" Just my oppinion. By the way, good job on calling DAN so fast. That's exactly what you...

    How many psi for a yoke valve?

    What's the question? Is your worry the yoke or your first stage? You are right in the last part of your post by saying that the limit of the first stage has nothing to do with DIN or yoke. Yokes have pressure limits (so do DIN for that matter) and 1st stages have pressure limits. Most yokes have...

    Squid Encounters...Real or For Entertaiment Purposes Only

    Some people fear sharks, others squids... I fear most humans. Your boyfriend may be right, then again, he may be wrong. In rescue class, we teach that 3 things will make you a more confident diver: skill proficiency, fitness and KNOWLEDGE. Can squids hurt divers? Sure! But so can DCS, sharks...
