In Germany it depends on where you try to get your fill. Most shops have adapters but some insist on only filling M26, but actually I never had trouble getting the tanks filled.

To avoid stress when you admit the real worth, just write a letter with the correct prizes, put it in an envelope and label it "Only open in case of death"

Sorry for the delayed answer I was busy on the weekend. It was a wall safe. They managed to rip it out of the wall and open it from above and then discarded it in a lake.

So you should either overcome your irrational fear or just dont take the advanced courses. Concerning you fear you obviously already seem to know the "facts" e.g. keeping your airways open.... you know that you tend to exhale too much.. so you already know the solution. Just exhale slowly. And...

If you are properly weighted the lead you carry is to compensate for the buoyancy of you/ your gear (with nearly empty tanks at the end of the dive) etc. so so at the start of the dive you would be overweighted by the weight of the gas in your tanks, which needs to be be compensated by the...

So, if you plan a Deco Dive you use 99/99 as GF Setting?

As others have stated, I would use this as an early opportunity to get the Nitrox cert for the future dives. Whether I would use Nitrox for the dives in the Keys would depend on the price. If there is no/ not much difference I would choose to use it for all dives. Especially when you plan on...

So you are only in for the theory and dont care about the practical part?

The only time a knive is used to "extend" something! ;-)

Normalization of deviance. I think a term that is often used around this board

If it es a SMB that is in constant use I would also go for a crack bottle IOT avoid the waste and cost of refill cartridges. However, I like the CO2 version for my emergency SMB. It takes less space than the crack bottle and the whole SMB easily fits into my thigh pocket.

Mentioned before: Kent Tooling CO2 Surface Marker Buoys from Kent Tooling Diving Products When ordering cartridges you need to be sure to get the right size. Common are 12g and 16g (as can be seen in the link as well)

I dont understand how anyone can wear boardshorts underneath a wetsuit. It would be way too unconfortable for me. For modesty after the dive (e.g. going to a bar) I do carry a boardshort that I leave in a drybag on the boat.

If i read this right and you are looking to retire in Indonesia, I would think that you should be able to put in Bali/ Komodo and even Thailand from there, without much hassle. So maybe you would want to look at the Red Sea as an option, since this will be much harder to get to from Indonesia...

A Spanish galleon that sunk in 1963? Sure?

When my flight was in the evening, instead of paying and staying at a Hotel, I booked a half-day tour via Sams´s and it was easily organized to be dropped of in time at the airport afterwards. I enjoyed a full day kayaking tour as well and it was great. Pelilu has already been mentioned...

Just dive cold water. At 4-6 degrees Celsius you don´t have to worry about a big problem.

The good part about Apeks is that you don´t need to "standardise" on any first stage since DS4, DST,FSR and FST use the same rev-kits and are (except minor differences) technically the same. If I had to buy know right now, I would, as many others recommended, go with DST and 5th port.

So the article states that several studies showed that exercise before a dive is benefitial to bubble formation and at least one study hinted that even directly after a dive exercise might be beneficial. The overall recommendation based on these findings is stated and the former 24hrs...
