Most orings are designed for use without lube. In a static situation lube should not be needed. Most often a light coating of lube is used when the oring is needing to be placed in a tight fitting area lessening the chance of stretching the oring. In places where lubing the oring is needed the...

I don't believe it is a requirement for an SSI shop to sell the mouthpiece seperate on the rental regs but I only have the experience at my SSI shop where they rent the reg and then grab a new mouthpiece out of a bag in a drawer and hand it to you. They also give you two mouth pieces when you...

For basic open water diver, not much difference. The differences tend to come in the later portions depending on how far you plan to progress in scuba diving.

I wonder if it closed due to too many OOA scuba incidents and the owner couldn't figure out how to charge the divers a door fee.

Certing through SSI and my instructor said "need it during training but after is all up to you, personally I don't use one"

Practice as if it were a real dive. Trying to be more comfortable with operating your computer underwater. Air integration so monitoring your air. While diving in a pool may not be an official you can practice and get used to equipment or see if the placement works without interfering with...

I would highly suggest if you get a non-electronic key made that you try it before you need to depend on it. Awhile back I had one made for the wifes car and it wouldn't open the door because it wasn't cut right.

The secret location to his honey pot site is somewhere on Earth, most likely in a body of water. You just need to start looking, I hear it may be by Antarctica.

Here is the shortlink Please wait to the article tortuga mentioned about the Turtle, I loved that thread.

Lisa have you thought of looking on a social site like meetup.com to see if there is a group near you? Like others have said finding a local group would be helpful or even if they aren't too local they may still know other divers in your area who like to dive and maybe even places around to dive...

Speaking as a new diver(I still haven't gotten my OW cert yet and its been almost a year, stupid timing and money things) I would just say keep practicing and diving it will come down as the tasks become second nature. I do alot of SCBA at work and I know that the first 20 times or so I kept...

So after researching this some more it is a translucent white when dried, so not real good for optics or masks until they come out with the clear version at least. The commercial version is called Ultra-Ever Dry by Ultratech to get it in more than a spray can size. There is concern that as depth...

I could see using it on the inside of the mask if it keeps it clear. Maybe applying to harness webbing to help prevent rotting from water, would probably still see issues around friction points though. Applying to at least the outside of scuba tanks to prevent corrosion, not sure how will it...

A size would be helpful for people to figure out if they would like to buy it and maybe a picture or two.

Desert Divers was the first dive shop I ever walked into as a teenager many years ago(Mid 90's). And they were part of my desire to learn to scuba dive, even though I finally started the process this year, and at that time they were very helpful and answered all of my questions and then some...

There you go feeding the mythmongers!!! Next you'll be showing that big foot hides so much because he goes cave diving to get to his lair!!

That is a good way to prevent cheating. All exams for all schools should be held underwater!!

My supervisor when he was n dang was asked to get some elbow grease. After going out for a while and asking around he came back with a tube of ky jelly and told them sorry they were out but this is an approved alternative.

I actually have it more horizontally aligned now over that picture, I was in the process of doing some more modifications to get it to a better angle. Although I am still trying to figure out a more friendly way to use it and my dslr or P&S cameras. I may wind up having it mounted below my...

HELL EXPLAINED BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of...
