Does anyone have a pre-done fillable tech dive plan format to leave a dive plan with a boat crew/captain. I could jin something up but would rather plagerize if someone has already done the work.

I have a question on mounting multiple stage/deco bottles. With one bottle connecting to shoulder/hip d-ring is easy, but I am starting to think through the best ways to run with multiple bottles. I have asked these of my tech mentors as well but looking for broader input. As reference I am...

The Best Scuba Fins of 2021 Reviewed Was perusing scuba diving magazine fin reviews and they had reviews for two fins from a company called Gul. One of the reviews was a jet fin type fin, which is not that uncommon, but what was uncommon was the $390 price tag! Never heard of the company but...

Saw on FB this morning, loving the new colors. DEEP6

Was hoping someone had an ingenious solution. I carry a low volume backup mask in my exposure suit pocket when diving. If I start a dive with either my primary or backup mask ihave no problems but if I switch to backup mid dive it fogs badly. I have tried putting anti fog on it before...

Did an experiment today. Tested burn time on a DGX600 with the DGX sold 18650 rechargeable battery and compared it to the burn time on 2x Amazon Basic CR123a batteries. Was a little surprised by the results. With the 18650 battery I got a 1 hour 15 min minute burn time (which was consistent...

I am moving this summer and researching some of the local dive sites and operations. Came across this on a local scuba park website: NOTE: ALL EANx cylinders must be labeled O2 cleaned CGA G 4.1 NOTE: Revised Edition: CGA G-4.1, Cleaning of Equipment for Oxygen Service January 4, 2019...

Dry suit Technology Comes Full Circle Saw this article today (published 2 weeks ago). Author advocates for crushed neoprene dry-suits rather than trilaminate dry-suits because trilam suits: 1. trap air 2. are more difficult to maintain/repair 3. lack stretch 4. have less thermal protection...

Went onto Deep6 site last night and discovered that their 7mm suit is now listed at $225 and the 3mm is listed at $150. I don't remember the exact cost a few months ago but I think this is about 50% off of what they were selling for. Not sure if it an early black Friday listing or a permanent...

I occasionally see threads on SB and other sites asking about regulator reliability. My first response to most of the questions is we have no idea what the reliability of various regulators are because there is no published data. There is a corresponding question in my mind though and that is...

i thought this was some interesting initial research. The US Naval Medical Research Center is exploring the use of Doxycycline in conjunction with recompression treatment. The initial trials were with swine, but indicated that the administration of doxycycline in cases where there was a delay...

I have looked several times and search SB under moniker and nickname and can’t find the answer. Every user has a nickname under their screen name and avatar. Most common ones are Barracuda, Solo Diver, grouper etc. What generates these and is there a way to change them? If there is some...

So I've been thinking lately. PADI requires that a diver has a pre-requisite 100 dives before enrolling in the self-reliant course; but, they only require that a Divemaster have 40 dives to enroll (60 to complete). Does that make any sense to anyone? You can be a professional who can guide...

Recently went on a family vacation to the Beaches Resort in the Turks and Caicos. Thought I would post a review for anyone considering a similar trip. My family has two divers (me and daughter) and one non-diver (wife) so we chose the Beaches resort because it 1. Was a family resort, 2. Had...

i sent a simple email to Shearwater today asking for the recommended technique for removing the Teric factory installed glass protector (with the AMOLED screen I did not want to damage) to replace as I have a few self imposed nicks and cracks. They not only gave me the best procedure but also...

These videos popped up in my youtube feed, thought they were good enough to share. Did not find them in search of SB even though they are a few years old.
