I shoot a yellow bag for assistance needed - red for everything else
operators have their own protocols - as @acxc says the briefing is important - as long as theres a clearly understood plan between divers and crew it will reduce screw ups
agree, Gas analysis will be a good place to start looking -some sort of medical mishap for both is less likely, one person getting into some sort of trouble and the second helping and dying too is possible
you will struggle to find anyone to take you diving other than a Live on board- theres basically only one outfit tulagi dive (troy shelley) and Im no sure hes operating for any recreational diving ( mostly commercial work) there are shore dives at honiara but unless you have a contact it will...
i think were at a stage where computers can handle a clever sophisticated one, if theres a better model why wouldn't you use it - the linked article above explains the situation in the first paragraph
Dr. David Doolette’s lecture on Advances in Decompression Theory and Practicewas among the...
I wonder if the either or options ( deep- shallow) aren't sufficient to adequately explain the complexities of of decompression models and this is an attempt to combine both with some sort of algorithm to weigh the deeper dives as opposed to using a model to cover all depths. It seems overly...

just got back from a live on board -we were a group of 7 and all had scooters and all preplanned to bring them so non scooter partners wasn't an issue - it was a tech trip so more space than on a crowed boat - this probably only worked because we had preplanned it -
batteries through airport is...
there doesnt seem to be a consistent correlation between price and reliability - ive had cheap chinese lights survive below 100m and more expensive ones fail at 20m
The situation will vary depending on other factors - current is a big one -hypoxic gas is another
im not in favour of struggling with lots of tanks on a boat where a slip will cause injury - If your doing 5 tanks its likely a significant dive and youll probably have support divers. you can hang...
I have a yearly insurance package with DAN and extended travel ins benefits - just bear in mind that if you get sick on a LOB you must have a doctor to say you aren't well to dive - so if theres no doctor on board your out of luck
With allianz theres a clause that states you can only claim one...
