    12 boys lost in flooded Thai cave

    What ever the out come it's going to be a block buster. As to the equipment the natives are using, it seems to have worked. It looks as though they didn't spend a ridicules amount of money on their dive gear. Sorry cave divers, sometimes you gotta go with what you have on hand. I question all...

    12 boys lost in flooded Thai cave

    It'll be risky however they decide to bring them out. Waiting on the other hand has it's own set of problems. The dive gear the rescuers are using seems to be working so I won't comment.

    Exposure suit recommendations

    It really just depends on your budget, and if your a naturally warm person. I typically Dive a 5mm in the summer at Beaver and Tenkiller, going below the theromocline you'll want a pair of gloves and a hood. But if its really hot I just trunk it. Drysuits are the way to go in the Winter if...

    IST Pro-Ear Mask.

    I bought this mask when I blew my eardrum. It works as advertised, although you may want to trim the hair around your ears. Its a nice piece of equipment if you have ear issues. My ear healed up and I'm diving my normal mask now. Have it in my dive locker just incase.

    Farewell, Harry Brelsford

    I was on the Boat with him, I was on the Sundeck when this all took place. The crew reacted very professional. Everyone on board was pretty upset. Glad he went doing what he loved. Any word on the cause?

    Will Someone please explain why using a different cylinder changes your sac rate? The formula I have is SAC = [(psi/time) X 33] / (depth+33) if this give me my Sac rate why will it change with a different cylinder? I understand my consumption rates change the deeper I go but I don't understand...

    Searching For Dive Buddies For Beaver / Table Rock Lakes

    My buddies and I are up at Beaver quite often. Just post as to when you think you're wanting to come down and most likely we'll be there. Summer time we dive wet unless we go deep. We camp and dive our butts off. Tenkiller this year isn't going to be so good here in Oklahoma.

    Cold Water And Computer Batteries

    Is it just me? I check my batteries every time before I dive and they are fine at the house. Then after a dive in water below 50° the computer is saying the battery level is low. Does a cold environment really sap that much out of the battery, and why if anyone knows.

    Underlying Fears

    Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like time stands still in low viz, in like less than a foot? I noticed on a dive were we had 100+ viz the time flew by. Then back at the local mud puddle 10 mins seems like an hour. Its pretty trippy how our minds speeds things up when theres so much to see!

    Unhappy with Waterproof customer service

    I bought a Waterproof undergarment from an online retailer in Texas. Being in a different state I wanted to just go through Waterproof. No dice on that, Tusa informed me to return it to the retailer. That was almost 3 months ago. What can they be doing? when they said they were going to send one...
