Thank you. I'll practise w/ a lot less weight.

Hey Ya'll, I dive a Zeagle Ranger BCD and have a specific problem I hope one of you have already solved. I'm in a PADI Rescue Diver course which requires my delivering rescue breaths on the surface through a face mask to a purported victim. Every time I get into the PADI approved configuration...

Hey Ya'll, Thanks for the discussion. I'll keep you posted as I search.

Yes I am. I have to rinse and lube the bits after every dive, but it lets me do things (like regulator repair) when they crash.

Hi Folks, In a long career of working both outdoors and in heavy industry I have been accused of not going outside without my trusty Leatherman tool. Now that I am diving, I use the Leatherman Charge TTi as my dive tool as well. With the exception of the tool steel replaceable bits (which you...

Howdy Folks, You didn't lose me and I'm grateful for all your advice. In all this posting I have learned: a. The medical scuba community is very passionate about this subject. b. I had not refined my questions very well. c. My current EMT status is sufficient once I add long term patient care...

Just a quick question for what happens after PADI Rescue Diver. Is there an organization that anyone knows of that offers more advanced rescue, patient management skills? Perhaps an EMT course that's oriented to the diving, boating community?

Thank you all for your replies. I am still unsure , but much better informed. I think Fundies will be my next step.

Thank you. As I am at "a certain age" (Biblically, I'm dead.) I will probably not walk your path, but I appreciate your answer. Thank you. This is exactly the type of feedback I was looking for.

First, thanks for reading this post. Scubaboard is a great place to learn and it's because of folks like you. I am closing in on my PADI Master Scuba Diver rating and there is some pressure to continue to DiveMaster creeping in to conversations down at Ye Old Dive Shop. I too have some...

The bungy idea is bonzer! I'll get one on my LifeLine tomorrow. Thanks.

Military divers have their hydration packs with them as they dive. This allows them to breathe, hold, drop their regulator, insert Camelback mouthpiece, sip, drop Camelback mouthpiece, reinsert regulator, exhale, breathe. I'v also seen cave divers with a Camelback mounted on their tank bands for...

If you can get a short term liveaboard at either Cairns or Port Douglas, you've do a lot more diving and a lot less chundering. The Vomit Comets from both ports get paid by the load to shuttle out and back from the reef. It's about an hour to the reef from each place, so you'll spend two hours...

If you have a 2" Trailer Hitch on your vehicle, you can buy a Keysafe for it to store your keys while you dive. They're about $70 and here's how they work. The unit is a steel box with a combination lock on one end that fits in your hitch. There's a combination release on one end. This turns...

Thanks. It was helpful.

Hey Folks, I recently was given a Dive Caddy G3 and took a shot at packing it. (First I watched the videos.) I was surprised that I could actually get all my gear in it, but could only fit a "stripper" BCD instead of the Zeagle Ranger I usually dive. Can anyone give me some tips, procedures for...

I'm getting back into diving, and that means buying gear. So I am bringing you'all this quick question, "Should I just buy a good drysuit (I'm thinking either HOG or 03) or will I be better served by buying 7mm wetsuit?" I'm going to be burning my way toward PADI Divemaster and then doing full...
