Hi people. So I purchased my first turret style 1st stage (D3 HOG). I was just about to start attaching hoses & it dawned on me that, in theory, it go either way. What I mean is, the turret could be positioned up (potentially a head banger?) or down toward the crown of the tank. Which is the...

Hi guys, need your help. I never had any luck with masks until I found the mini... So, I’ve been using a Scubapro frameless mini for about a decade now without issue. Except one, at day 4 of any dive trip the underside of my nose (the piece that separates your nostrils) gets painful! But I’ve...

Hi all, I was recently in the Caribbean and noticed a PADI specialty course offered, seemingly at every dive shop, for Lionfish hunting. I asked about it, it's a fully accredited course with a 2 dive requirement. I think it's a great idea! The more divers hunting them correctly the better. I...

Hi all, I've been diving for a few years but am new to nitrox. I completed the nitrox course & wanted to ask the real world brain trust found here. Couple of silly questions maybe, but here goes: All using nitrox changes is the amount of gas loading up in my body, right? It doesn't enable me...

I was just going thru my log book in preparation for an upcoming trip and just noticed that my O2 provider C card has expired. My question is this, what is involved in renewing it? Thanx Phil

First off, I'm still in the information gathering stage. The Halcyon traveller Who has one? What do you think of it? Will it fit in a carry on, (how flat does it pack)? Is it worth the money? In advance, I appreciate any input. Cheers Phil

Hi all! im looking at the Jetpack setup for travelling. I'm really taken with the idea of not having to check anything at the airport (that's right, I'm one of those "carry on only" guys). Ive done the standard searches on here & read about the tank lift problem. But all of the posts seemed to...

Ok, I just finished the Rescue diver course & really enjoyed it! i asked the instructor what I need to apply for Master Scuba Diver. He told me that I needed 8 specialties plus my rescue course. I have read some conflicting information regarding this on the web & just want to know what is...

Simple/stupid question: My question is, what is needed if I wanted to become a equipment repair tech at a dive shop down the road(meaning retirement)? I'm taking the Equipment specialty at the end of March, and I understand that it's just an "intro" to your equipment. Just wondering what's...

Hello all, I started diving because I was bored to tears at a resort in the caribean & have loved every minute under water since! It always amazes me that it can have such a tremendous sense of community and "group-think" and at the same time be so isolating (the only breath you hear is your...
