Been there, done that, not fun. Had my inflator stuck open at the bottom of the line near a wreck, hit a diver above me while flying up; took a second but I wrapped my leg around the line to stop myself while disconnecting it with my hands.

Pink and white so far, any guesses what the other two will be? Fingers crossed for red!

In my personal experience, I've only been required a signed parent consent; half the time I haven't bothered getting a parent to sign it because the charter didn't check. I've done charter dives without being even asked to see a certification.

Edited, thanks. Learning to move and glide while afloat is obviously taught, it's still not the drownproofing technique.

I'm guessing because I haven't seen this taught as a swim instructor, you are correct about the latter.

The last shop to do banked nitrox locally closed, either way, my shop only does partial pressure blending. Guess these tanks will be air only then.

The lining isn't compromised and passes VIP, heading off to Hydro monday. Would oxygen cleaning the tanks have a negative effect on the lining?

Hey all, Been given a set of LP72 doubles, but of course, they have a "lining" that all threads relevant to LP72s say you don't want. What is bad about this lining and would tumbling remove it? Cheers!

New OTS owner here who dives in cold water, what route do hooded divers go when it comes to full face masks? I performed an OOA drill the other night in the ocean, and when attempting to put the mask back on I realized how much of a pain in the ass it is to get it to seal. I noticed that there...

From my 100th dive :)

Maybe they'll settle for Liquivison, they are also Canadian.

$535 Canadian at my shop for public OW, all gear provided (including drysuit and undergarments)

Perhaps Hollis F2s?

My AL40 stage/deco bottle can do all those things, and unlike the PonyPak, won't get me laughed off the dive boat.

XTX is the way to go. I dive the Hollis sidemount package (which I very much regret), but as soon as I can afford to do otherwise, I'll be getting the Apeks sediment package. As said above, the design is much better and the XTXs breathe much better.

Other than size, Hollis claims the M-1 has "Ultra Clear Glass" and the M-4 has "Standard Glass." I dive an M-4 as my primary, and an M-1 as my backup, but I haven't noticed the slightest difference between the two in terms of quality.

Kelowna Diver's santa outfits eh? Talk about rocking it!

Lol..
