    Do you actually see people diving with pony bottles?

    I went to local quarry today. After dive, I rose by the beach and had somebody ask me if I was diving a rebreather. I was confused by the question, he said what is that, and pointed to my pony. I told him what it was and explained why I always have it....he was a diver also.

    Using glue on diving mask

    If it is a silicone mask, will silicone sealant melt into it? I have never tried it, but I think I have heard this can happen.

    Hood Question? Bib or Bibless

    I have both. Bibbed hoods and sitting around don't mix in my opinion. I dive deep in TX lakes and it can be 100f surface temp, and 60f at a 100ft. I have some pics of me sitting in 100f with a bibbed hood, most on this site would say I look near death and I felt that way also. When it's that...

    What to look for in a flash light

    For me battery life is important, i do a lot of lake diving and don't need huge lumen. I had a Princeton tech sector 5, over 20 hours on the 4 c cells, which is awesome and does the job I need. I have 3 other with higher lumen but the back scatter drives me crazy. If anybody finds it on...

    Zebra Mussels

    Damn zebra mussels. I normally look at mussel shells cruising the bottom of LT, haven't spotted any at depth yet, just a matter of time I suppose at this point.

    South Padre or Corpus Christi for Diving

    I have never dove in corpus, but south padre is awesome, check out American divers, great crew. The gulf current brings water from the south to south padre, corpus gets Mississippi mud water. Sorry to offend the corpus goers, but south padre is superior for water quality. SPI also has lots to...

    Questions about my first boat dive

    Have fun and enjoy. My advice is to keep your regulator in your mouth from the splash until your back on board, and keep your mask on your face. Seawater in your mouth and nose is a mess.

    What to do while diving a lake with bad visibility?

    If there are lots of loose rocks, try rock stacking, just don't where it could tumble down on somebody. When your bored with that, try lift bag rock stacking.

    In search of octo holder that actually works

    I use this one, fits like the snorkel keeper, but has added benefit I can leave it on Octo and clip/un clip when stowing gear. Just need to be sure you get it behind the ziptie, like the snorkel keeper...

    Minimal Acceptable Ending Tank PSI

    My target is always to be at SS with 500psi. Which according to my gauge is plenty to complete obligation plus allows much extra time on shore dives, I normally breath down to 200 and slow ascend. Boat dive with boat captain rules is different story, I follow the rules when asked.

    How Many Days of Straight Diving?

    Physically, you will likely be fine. I would just try to get some extra dives in before your trip to reduce the task loading that you will feel. If your first dives in a while are training, you will have all of the task loading to remember from prior training and the new training, I could see...

    Airline destroyed bag with BCD's in it- how to check them out?

    A bcd is much cheaper than a funeral, if in doubt(which you seem to have by posting), I'd replace it. This is why I put my wing in my carry on, and my BP in the check bag.

    New diver in Texas

    My ow cert dives were pretty shallow, I was diving 100 ft the next day. Back when I got my cert it was to the depth in the manual, not in my logbook, a philosophical debate that will never end.
