I worked for travel insurance for several years, part of my responsibility was arranging medical repatriations amongst other things. my best advice is to make sure you're covered with a travel policy for those exact instances. Depending on where you are, where you need to get to and what kind...

It's a neat toy but not for 130$, I'll stick to manualy blowing bubble rings using my reg exhaust

You clearly have never spent an extended period of time in a 3rd world country. Each country has their own standards, and considering where you were, plumbing is absolutely a luxury for most people.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/austrian-woman-dies-after-shark-attack-off-egypts-red-sea-coast/ Another case that could have ended differently if proper medical and rescue services were provided on scene. There are some videos running around online which I will not link, they are not very...

I dive in an area where encountering ghost nets or parts of old fishing gear is not uncommon so i always carry cutting tools. I have one small knife with a 3 inch blade (no need for anything big, we are not fighting sharks here) and a line cutter.

If the issue is sliding in & out of the suit / seals, i use talcum powder. Its cheap and works like a charm

Sinai peninsula is very much like a third world country.

She was free diving/snorkeling, not SCUBA

If i had a penny for every time i heard some one trying to flex on OW & AOW in the club with "I'm a dive master, you should listen to me" only to later see them kneeling on the floor when clearing their mask, I'd be rich. Last time i tried to confront one of them because as he was fixing...

Would definitely jump in the water One of my favorite local dives is the shark hotspot near the power plant. They only come during winter to a specific area where the water is warmer because of the power plant cooling process. The visibility is around 15-20ft on a good day, average of about...

This feels more like a philosophical debate than it is an factual one. When I say I'm not harming anyone I mean direct harm, as in risking another diver in the water with me etc. This game can be played for ever... what about overweight people and obesity related illnesses? They take a *huge*...

As long as i don't harm the environment or anyone else, ill do what ever the heck i want, thank you. If i kill myself for being an idiot or reckless that is my problem and my problem alone. Im not anyone's parent, nor are you mine. I don't need the diving community to look over my shoulder...

I never found use for a snorkel while diving, i dont even carry one. YMMV.

Yup, exactly. Basically so the dust cap does not fly around after you take it off, you stick the wire in that slot so it stays in place.

Will do later today when I have access to the PC

Hello, When I try to upload .Jpg files a lot of them will not upload and show the following error : But other .jpg pictures work just fine. The ones that fail to upload don't exceed the max weight or anything, I can't find the reason for why some work and some don't. Did not attempt to...

Yes, that is Egyptian waters. I know the dive site, strong currents are a daily occurrence. I hope she is found alive soon... but realistically speaking the chanced are dwindling with each passing hour

Any idea which area or dive site this happened? i couldnt find that information in the article

Isn't sex and gender the same thing? Honestly asking, this confuses me.

The gladiator is cool but if I had to pick anything from JEEP it would definitely be the Trackhawk 😬
