I'm curious what everyone feels about the idea of conservation. Whether or not we're playing God so to speak or if we're not doing enough, etc. where we draw the line. I think we should be conserving and protecting marine life, it's a whole hearted thought. I do however think we should draw the...

Love Scubaboard but one thing that makes me boil is going into threads with new posts, reading all the way through them only to find out that the thread was started 4 years ago and someone revived it by essentially bumping it with summary advice for someone who no longer browses the forum. While...

One thing that I think seems to be glossed over is ascent rates, my RDP says 60 and that's what my PADI instructor reinforced but I've read people with ascent rates as low as 10fpm and my curiousity is how is that physically achievable? Even with the best buoyancy it would seem like if you...

I'm reading Deco for Divers and I'm having trouble understanding compartments in relation to tissues. Is anybody here able to clarify it a bit for me? What I currently understand them to be are areas/ organs or groups/ spaces within your body but given the book, at present vaguely presents the...

Hey all, I'm trying to track down a decent quality digital watch for diving. I want something that's obviously waterproof (the deeper the better but must be at least 100 feet), has a backlight for poor visibility/ night diving, a stopwatch and if at all possible a depth gauge as well (not...

Free for all of you ladies and gents. Made by yours truly. Currently optimized for iPhone 5, 326ppi 1136x640 resolution. Once saved and loaded onto your device the blur will disappear, it's being stretched to match its resolution and ppi of the web rather than the device. Should snap fine...

I just came across a bunch of wrecks that sound interesting/ close to home (Lake Ontario) for the future and I wondered what it meant that I needed to obtain/ complete a Toronto Police Services Marine Unit Permission Form, the link provided to the TPSMU seems broken/ dead. I'm going to assume...

Out of curiosity, at any level, what has been the oddest lesson you've ever learned revolving around Scuba Diving? So far mine has been mask related. I always used to fit a mask to my face by pressing it in hard so all the air was gone and it left a massive indent when I took it off. Just...

Wasn't positive on where to put this (wreck diving seemed inappropriate because they're removing it) and I'm not posting it to scare people, but given everyone around here seems to like history, maritime news and information, etc. see below. I found a documentary special someone captured from...

I was reading in a magazine about technical diving and being able to properly plan dives. Based off of what my PADI OW book states and my actual course (3/5 modules completed), I was wondering- why isn't air consumption and decompression something more focused on? Is it and I'm missing content...

I've been shopping around for gauges and came across different models that say that they're either filled with air, oil or "liquid" (the ambiguity makes me laugh). Are there differences between these types of gauges if say they're all rated for the same depth? Is there a durability factor that...

Hey all, how's it going? I'm only just getting started in Scuba diving and currently doing my open water level certification. I've been watching Scuba from a far through one of my good friends who is a certified diver and who encouraged me to start since I was so interested. I've learned a great...
