    Question Sites near Pottstown (Philadelphia)

    I'm looking for a wreck or an item of interest underwater at 100 feet or shallower as close to Pottstown Pennsylvania. Viz doesn't have to be great (3 feet would be nice though). Doesn't have to be anything amazing, just something to make underwater laser scans and get some sort of 3d model...

    BP/W Instructor for 10 yo?

    I could point out that Fabien was taught at the age of 4. But what did his grandpa know exactly? But seriously, my daughter is 4. No way would I teach her now even if she was physically able and didn't have increased risk of overexpansion injuries. Every parent needs to decide when they...

    Video Light for Cave Diving

    I'm not able to access https://wetestlights.com/result.php?query=Dive at this moment, but Big Blues have a rather sharp slope in light output. This is true of most lights. I wound up with 2 Kraken Hydra 4000s as constant output is important for me (underwater archaeological documenting). I...

    Question Deserved DCS hit even with deco cleared due to high exertion during the dive?

    You didn't mention your age, another risk factor. While my brother's name is Simon, our last name isn't Mitchell, and I'm no expert on dive medicine, but my understanding is that hydration is an important factor. I'd be curious as to the results of you repeat the dive with the same dive...

    To touch or not to touch other diver's gear

    Dive gear are like private parts. Don't touch without permission. Of course if you "parts" are swinging around and could hurt someone, that doesn't apply (securing unsecured/insufficiently secured gear).

    Question Are You Tired of the Taxi Ripoff?

    That's basically what I do. My wife is Russian and doesn't mind one bit. Not at all. I forget about it once I step into the airport.

    DOWN CURRENTS -Any with true real-life experience?

    I have only dived Deception Pass twice. Once with a group of advanced divers, so we got to go with a faster current. That's where I experienced the downcurrent. Probably the fastest current I've ever experienced, as I was a flag sailing in the wind waiting for my buddy to catch up or vice...

    Why I'm returning my Scubapro Hydros Pro.

    I removed the Xdeep logo from one of my wings due to the fact that at the shop I was teaching didn't carry it Many years later, still going strong.

    Cuba advice bay of pigs or Varadero

    My wife just lost it on some guy trying to buy dollars. My advice if from the US is to have lots of 20s, 5s, and 1s. It is a pain but you want to avoid exchanging money. Exchange rates are all over the place. On the street the most pesos per dollar, followed by restaurants, and lowest with...

    Question Does higher level shop offer higher teaching quality for OW?

    Find a dive center that teaches the ENTIRE course, from the first pool session until the end neutrally buoyant and trimmed. Do not go to any place that will ever put you on your knees Ask the trick question "if I'm nervous can I do some skills on my knees?" Go to a place that will take the...
