I assume you left the gender out for a reason. It doesn't matter. I think you are seeing things correctly and like a lot of us you may see this differently over time. You are creating an opportunaty for your spouse to learn more about underwater safety behavior. Until you have reasons to...

Dove solo many years in order to hunt fish. It was a big enough challenge not scaring the fish when I'm using scuba. Having two scuba fisherman hunting side by side ran the risk of being shot by your dive partner and again two divers on scuba scared the fish. Adventure-Ocean

I enjoyed swimming with sharks, rays and hundreds of different fish diving the "Blue Corner" in Palau...... Adventure-Ocean

I dove my entire life not knowing I had a underdeveloped maxilary sinus on my left side. I struggled with clearing my left ear for many years. I suffered what we called "reverse squeeze" many times. As stated by a few posts, if you had reverse squeeze you would have trouble ascending...

We had visiting friends and family sign a waiver at the university I worked. We were told it was worthless if anything could be considered our negligence and almost worthless otherwise. Adventure-Ocean

Sorry, I meant to write "freediving and scuba".

To BurhanMuntasser I apologize for suggesting you would use bleach and dynamite. You were getting down (bleeding hearts) on people trying to work with these difficult, sensitive subjects and it pissed me off. My brother and I are those bleeding hearts and we have worked hard over years trying...

I honestly don't know why you ask a question and are so confrontational about the answer. You seem to have a very negative opinion about scuba fisherman and about government trying to preserve the fish industry. You say a scuba diver has very little time deep but a hunter can stay an hour...

I tried to answer this question. I worked with the Federated States of Micronesia and Guam on this issue. The laws to prohibit scuba spearfishing "anywhere" are there for ecological reasons. Free diving spearfisherman impact the shallow water fish while the scuba spearfisherman impact the...

Scuba fisherman can stay down longer and shoot more fish. A good spearfisherman with scuba is going to get more fish than a good spearfisherman free diving. The impact between scuba and freediving when it comes to killing fish has been logged in many places for many years. It is not a maybe...

It doen't makes sense that he went looking so far from the original dive site the divers could not see the boat after surfacing. If after looking the weather changed and he could not see their bubbles he should have returned to the original site. Why he wasn't anchored to the bottom is another...

It's illegal to spearfish on scuba in Palau. Years ago I went spearfishing on scuba in Palau. We all filled our bags in an hour. We had lobster as well. As we were approaching the dock our Palauan friends started hiding the fish. I asked why and of course he told me it's illegal to use...

Thank you Stoo for helping me once again go over the 40 plus years of my diving adventures. Congratulations on a lifetime of fun and hopefully enjoying being an "old diver" for many more years. Adventure-Ocean

You are trying to guess what aspect of your rental gear failed. Clearly you were out of air or the first stage failed. Did you open the tank after all was done to see if it really had 1000psi or nothing? That would have eliminated one possibility. Without knowing if the 1000psi was still in...

I don't have any medical expertise but I had a stent put into my heart in 2005. My doctor told me my heart was in great shape and I could keep diving or even run a marathon if I wanted. He said the trouble I had was a genetic flaw and my heart was in very good shape. I did keep diving for 6...

I used split fins for years as I got old. I found them easier on my legs. I did not need speed or power, I just needed to manuever. Adventure-Ocean

It's not close but the Blue Corner in Palau had a lot sharks as well as thousands of other fish. Really a great dive. Adventure-Ocean

I dove over 10 years without a BC in warm tropical water. No weightbelt either. We used steel 72's then. I eventually went to AL80's with a wetsuit and weights but normally only used the BC to float on top. Over years of diving we get much more relaxed in the water and breathe much slower...

Get certified and start diving. If you are still in love with the idea of making a living in the water you will be able to explore ideas underwater instead of wondering what it's like. I made a very good living as a diver and so could you. Good luck. Adventure-Ocean
