That's why he is on the fence about keeping it....everytime he sees blue reflected off it he says "I'm keeping it", then he turns to put it back on the shelf and the blue disappears...dejected about it, he says to himself "dang, this has to go". You know we love you Simon! -Z

Nah, there's no blue on it. -Z

WOW!!! While I appreciate the difference between NAUI, PADI & SSI...a NAUI diver (or a diver from any of these agencies) commanding respect?...... .....Well, that has got to be the funniest (and saddest) sh!t I have read on the internet this year! The agency you are certified through does not...

As a NAUI Master Diver and PADI Divemaster, I agree with the comments above about NAUI training being more comprehensive and better overall training. All other things being equal, I would recommend you taking the NAUI class even though the drive is 45 minutes for you....unless all you want is a...

thanks, just went back and edited my post to indicate wireless/hoseless. The notion of wireless refers to the link between the transmitter and the computer not the 1st stage and the computer which would, as you correctly point out/imply is either hose connected or hoseless. -Z

I agree, and use AI from the context of "air integration/ air integrated" whether wireless or not. It should be noted though, that since wireless transmitters have improved and folks willing to spend money on them compared to having a computer tethered to one's regulator set via a HP hose...

If you are refering to the thin but large diameter o-rings that are in the faces (ends) of the cuff-rings, then they should be lightly lubed like most other o-rings for diving...so that they are shiny without any excess grease lingering. Any excess grease will attract dirt/sand/debris which...

Perhaps an iteration of the Scubapro MK2 or clone of it? -Z

While the DIN connection has become increasingly popular, there are plenty of divers using yoke type 1st stages all around Europe and they are available for sale in shops that choose to carry them. The port plugs in @Valtman's are further from the end of the regulator than those in the...

The designer of your fins and owner of Force Fins is an active member of Scuba Board...try reaching out to him directly at Bob Evans. -Z

I have no experience with Dewalt batteries, but Ridgid, Home Depot's adopted house brand that is manufactured by the same company that makes Milwaukee, has a great battery replacement plan...basically if you register the battery pack on the Ridgid website after purchase they will replace the...

Same-same...will be either watching from my home here in Jamestown, NY...or one of the veterans groups I participate with will be gathering about 4 or 5 blocks down the road where there will be food and bev and about 50+ people to hang out with....either way I will be comfortably seated in a...

Ok you win, but... I would argue that tech diving is not a further progression from recreational diving, it is instead a unique niche...a determined/deliberate turn off what is considered to be the standard recreational diving path, towards and into a totally different genre of diving. The...

What is it that you are confused about? -Z

There is a sizable US community in Belgium between the State Department and the DOD working at the US embassy to Belgium, the US embassy to NATO, the US embassy to the EU, NATO's political headquarters, NATO's military headquarters (SHAPE), US Army Garrison BENELUX at Chievres airbase and...

It is common in Belgium and France (among other European countries) to use a vegetable based oil for hydrostatic testing cylinders, even ones used for SCUBA, unless water is specifically requested (at a higher cost as the testing facility has to dry the cylinder after draining to prevent rust)...

The only animal on the planet that actively hunts humans is the polar bear. -Z

I too disagree on the suit for buoyancy issue. When decending with an empty BC/Wing, one will need to add air to the drysuit to prevent squeeze and provide warmth within the first 10meters (and again as the dive progresses deeper)...this air serves double duty as it also provides buoyancy. There...
