    PADI Policy Re Medical Releases

    I think this is a very interesting question. Every course I have ever taken has been started with the PADI NEW STUDENT RECORD folder. This has the medical on one side of the folder. Often then sitting on a picnic table or in a dive bag while you are underwater. Under HIPAA only the people...

    12 boys lost in flooded Thai cave

    I like many of the news affiliates say divers are there but not likely to participate. There is a big embassy attaché there mostly for PR so trump can take credit.

    12 boys lost in flooded Thai cave

    It does annoy me about the oxygen tanks mostly because they are confusing the subject when they talk about the oxygen levels dropping in the cave. I heard many people say why don’t they just open the oxygen tanks in the cave and we all know it is more complicated than that.

    12 boys lost in flooded Thai cave

    WOW... So happy they found them. I know there is still a long road to getting them out, but Just the boys seeing people and getting food will give them hope. At least now the team will not take drastic measures. There is occasionally a mention of pumping water out. I wish there was more...

    As tech diver, diving single tank no-deco rec. in trim, what is your waist/hip lead?

    Most of the time tec divers do not have any ditchable weight. Between double steel tanks and plate. However in tec diving you have redundant boayancy devices either dual bladder bc or bc and dry suit. Most likely also have a lift bag. So IF you do not have redundant buoyancy it is a good idea...

    Old Steel Tank

    On YouTube there is a Chanel by Alec Pierce Scuba. He has TONS of vintage scuba stuff. He would be great to ask! As others have said old valves were pipe thread and have no print between valve and tank. That is ok. People still dive with these today. When you get hydro/vis they should replace...

    How to fill my tank

    Any reputable scuba shop has their changes filters regularly and has their air tested by a third party regularly. By the time you buy filters, media, O2, and CO2 restores and sensors you can not fill your own tanks for less. Let the pros do it. Unless you want to build it right.

    Too hard to get out. Also pushes tank out and makes it hard to frog kick.
