    Well, today was a new diving experience for me!

    Well, today was a new one on me! I would have never though it possible to sneeze on SCUBA yet I did. It expresses itself more through the regulator though like a cough. That said, I did sneeze. Has anyone else had this experience?

    Beuchat by Rusty Shackleford posted Jan 26, 2020 at 8:32 PM They are too nice to throw away. A friend of mine was once an avid caver and gave me these. They are corrosion-free, just has a bit of sand in the seconds that will be an easy clean. Scubagaskets has parts kits for the firsts and...

    ScubaPro G-500
