My DPV floated away from just south of Villa Blanca last night. : ( Cap visible a few inches above the surface, floats vertically. Current heading north. Return would be amazing!!! Li ion battery on board, ideal if a boat doesn't hit it. I've notified the port captain and talked to a few of...

Collecting dust, buried in gear, kept just in case? Any of these describe a scooter you use to enjoy? If so, I'd like to give it a new home. (And cut down the body and put in a LiPo pack.) Florida, Ontario or Mexico preferred. (Anywhere a cheap flight away) Cameron

Mild miss... I've been having flu symptoms getting in the way of my diving recently. Started clearing up. I could somewhat equalize on land. Good enough. I hoped... Tried a dive: Squeak (Surface light over pressurizing to prepare for descent.) Down to 3ft. Squeak. Down to 5ft. Squeak. Down...

Alright. Here's a post I intend to be based on real conversation I had 3 weeks ago while traveling in Belize: ---Not me--- Recreational dive instructor in a warm water environment, age 45, top shape. Diving 30 years, guiding 25 and instructing (mainly OW students and DSDs) for 20 years. Will...

Ok, if you've made it this far and realize it's the tec forum: I breath-hold on scuba. A few dozen times per dive for photography (and critter sneaking). Generally 1.5 to 3 minutes per hold. Normal breathing after 2 recovery breaths if strenuous. Overall SAC lowers. No co2 headache after...

Currently running a little 3 led mod: Would love to leverage the massive battery compartment to go with a brilliant video head. My search isn't showing anything suitable to squeeze into the 20mm head... any gems I've missed? In a dream world, I'd like a COB LED with decent light quality. Gin...

ATAQUE A BALAZOS EN COZUMEL: Dos hombres heridos luego que motociclistas dispararon contra automovilistas en el centro de la isla Noon, 20th Ave y 11th street.

Appears to have no flood tolerance and is released to the recreational scr market... Soon to be following in the footsteps of the Explorer and Azimuth? Looking forward to the classified section in a few years! Hopefully enough corporations buy in now. Cameron

Active technical divers only (if you please): Have you ever done three dives requiring staged decompression in the same day (Not during training)? Secondly: would you again in the future if opportunity presented? Why? Cameron

Ready to dive O2ptima, barely used. Complete including: iBOV SM kit BMCL Packable scrubber Dozen ExtendAir® 801C packs and an extra set of cylinders could be included. Cells 8 months old. Everything working as it should. Currently in Cozumel, Mexico. A great place to come train on it or drop...

Current owner of thinkingdiver.com Valuable domain if someone wants it, seems a waste to leave it unleveraged. Shoot me a PM, would trade for dive gear (or video lights). Cash wouldn't be bad either. Regards, Cameron

Anyone still happy with an Optima fx? Did they become an obsolete prototype unless upgraded? I could sell off my O2ptima freeing up cash for some decent video lights and still have enough left over to pick up a great deal on an Optima w/ hammerhead electronics. I'd need to do loose sorb...

For rebreather divers with 100+ hrs on the loop (arbitrary number) when you maintaining within 2ft of an uneven bottom how often do you use it to stabilize your position? (contact on any bottom contour or overhead with a finger or two, particularly when changing depths over an obstacle) Are you...

Starting a thread where we can keep track of and marvel at the unusual/unexpected experiences. Today I spent a few minutes with a hammerhead shark. The first I've seen here! Somewhere near Santa Rosa wall. Was cruising at ~150 and saw it come up the wall towards me from beyond the range of...

My warm water wetsuit is shredding. Anyone with a Rubatex neoprene wetsuit that shrunk over the years and might fit someone in the ballpark of ~180lbs and 6'2"? A 3 mm would be great, 5mm better. Looking for a wetsuit I can afford, can take to 300ft+ repeatedly and won't crush to paper after...

I'm enjoying the tiny single 14500/AAA - 3 oring - screw switch dive light for just onto 1000 days now. Not used daily but always on my harness with all sorts of conditions (heavy silt, near freezing or 100m no issues ever). It's a solid light. Now that I'm ready to trust it with buying...

Anyone with a dead x1 who might sell their charger/transfer USB interface? Backstory for interest: When the dive charter sank and my primary computer went to the bottom of the great lakes this summer, my backup computer charger and a bunch of other gear also went with it. Would be nice to get...

Modified the Predator battery tray slightly to accommodate nicely regarded flat top cells. The 840mah Sanyo unprotected cells now fit securely. Here's the link to the cells: Sanyo UR14500P 840mAh Battery Note the length and lack of a button top. Shaved off the plastic retainer which...

Was thinking about our attitudes and preferences to the social aspect of diving. Here's a scenario occasionally I meet with. If you turn up to your favorite dive site and find a solo diver there gearing up and hoping to have someone in the water with them as a buddy how likely would you be to...

If you've lost a primary reg a couple times in your history and needed to recover your reg on your next dive, what's your first go to recovery stretegy? Thinking of recovery specifically, switching to an alternate reg while getting it sorted is generally prudent but doesn't recover the primary.
