    Question about rinsing the reg

    Ok, I admit I'm not a huge expert on maintenance and servicing my own gear. I always leave this to pros, but - there is a question I would like to get an answer to: Post-dive, when you rinse your gear, is it ok to sink the first stage in the fresh water (with dust cap in place of course) or...

    Condensation in Suunto Stinger

    I've had no problems with my Suunto Stinger so far, but now, for a week or so I've noticed it fogs up after some dives. It only happens if it's in direct sunlight after the dive and not too much, yet enough to notice. I've had some people tell me this happens sometimes with their Stingers as...

    What would you have done?

    On Saturday, Sept. 15th a diving incident occurred involving 5 Dutch divers diving in Croatia. It's a very interesting story that got me thinking of would I have done anything different, whether I were the DM on that dive, or just a part of the group. Here's the story: A group of five Dutch...

    Whale harpooned in front of whale-watching tourists

    Here's the link to the original story. Sad, sad story. Hopefully, incidents such as this one will help demonstrate how whaling doesn't make sense or cents to sustain it.

    Force fins, frog kicks and opinions

    I wonder if Force fins and frog kicks go well together? Does anyone have any experience with this? Also, I'm interested in hearing some opinions - anyone likes/dislikes them and why?

    What happens here?

    On one of my recent dives I've noticed this strange couple hanging together: It seemed as fish had pinned down that tiny nudi and wouldn't let it move. Either that or the nudi had glued the fish to itself. No one appeared to be feeding on the other, they simply stood there motionless. So...

    Tank pressure conversion - how to?

    I'm curious how to convert tank pressure from metric to imperial and back? If I wish to explain how much air I have left in my tank, but my gauge is metric and the person I speak to uses imperial - how do I convert my xx bar to xx psi? And vice versa, of course. There must be some...

    Three dives in one day against the rules?

    So, outside of my usual diving habits I have joined a local diving club. They're all CMAS divers and their belief in CMAS almighty puts any DIR cult talk to shame. They despise anything PADI, and lo and behold - I am carrying a PADI badge. Anyway, this weekend I went diving with these guys...

    What kind of diving accident?

    Luc Besson spent the first years of his life following his parents, scuba diving instructors, around the world. His early life was entirely aquatic. He already showed amazing creativity as a youth, writing early drafts of Grand bleu, Le (1988) and The Fifth Element (1997), as an adolescent bored...
