    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...

    Atomic Scuba Heat. Does anyone else say WTF?

    Has anyone used this? https://www.atomicaquatics.com/products/accessories/scuba-heat/ While I have never dived in Antarctica where the water can be -2 C, the people I know who did simply had diaphragm first stages. I don't see a need for this at all. Thoughts?

    Making an anchor for a mooring line

    I need to put in a new anchor and chain for a permanent buoy. The engineer in me likes to over engineer. So I picked up 55 gallon drum. Now I am planning to cut that in half, as cement is about 20 lbs per gallon, and I don't think I need half a ton, but 500 lbs will do the trick. I'm wondering...

    Rust (streaks?) in steel tanks

    So this is a follow on to Rust in steel tank. Sorry for the bad image. Best I could do, but I think you can see the rust like streaks. I'm going to follow the advice in the above mentioned thread of phosphoric acid. I have 3 tanks to clean up. This is the worst one. I'll report back later...

    Tropical diving: correct amount of weight versus trim (correct weight distribution)

    So I just returned from a trip to Cuba (per the US state department, traveled for the purpose of education and support of the Cuban people) where I went diving twice with two different companies. Now most of you should know that I'm a correct weighting zealot which covers both the amount and...

    I wore a jacket style BCD yesterday....

    ... and I didn't die. Probably because I had blade fins. But I was foot heavy. I was given a shorty and an HP117 steel cylinder that i put as high on my back as I could. I had no other weight. Maybe someone needs to invent the opposite of ankle weights. Maybe call them ankle bladders? Each...

    GUE JJ configuration

    Do I understand correctly that in the emergency scenario where one diver has to donate gas to another, they have to remove the loop in order to donate the long hose? Not looking to start a fight between GUE rebreather divers and the rest. Just want to understand the configuration better, as JJ...
