    Kingston Jamaica Night dives

    Once again my work have put me in a location I'd like to dive - as usual I never knew before I came here, so no equipment nor arrangements have been made. Are there any diveshops offering night dives in the area around Kingston? I'm flying home tomorrow night, thus only afternoon/night dives...

    Question Nomad JT for tiny steel bottles

    Hi! I'm playing with the thought of putting together a mini sidemount kit. I already got a pair of 4L 200 bar bottles, got a reg set ready, but not sure about SM setup. Goal of the rig is a single cave dive - roughly 10 minutes in 4 meter depth, so bottle size is selected based on that...

    Question Oxygen fill whip

    I'm considering getting a fill whip to transfill O2 to my 3 liter rebreather Oxy bottles when on dive trips. The prices seems to range from very reasonable to "get more 3L cylinders". I was wondering if there are any good reasons to not go for something as cheap as below...

    Baby cave diver here, slowly starting to investigate the options for Full cave. I'm currently IANDT intro to cave, and SSI "Cave diving", allowing me to dive to 1/4, with one navigational decision. (One jump or T).

    Cheaping out on Trimix - travel gas

    So, as it happens to be, I'm currently a newbie Trimix-diver. Due to the cost and hassle involved in getting a trimix fill, I usually get a 21/35, which is topped up with air after the first dive, to get more dives out of the fill. My local divesites includes a bit of swimming in the 10-30...

    Cave country - full rental

    So, I recently got my SSI "cave diving" card (done in doubles if that matters). If this COVID ever ends, I'd be in Florida every now and then for work - and obviously I'd like to get some dives done in "cave country". For work trips I'm very limited on luggage, as I carry two suitcases full of...

    Divecomputer NDL calculations

    Had another great dive today, but was a bit puzzled by my computer. At ~25m or so, I ran out of NDL, and as I've usually been doing, I went up a few meters. Usually that gives me quite a bit of additional NDL-time, but not so today. Although my "ceiling" never went below 0,2meters, it puzzles...

    Recommend a drysuit

    Looks like I need to get myself a new Drysuit, my current one (purchased used) has a leaking Zipper, as well as seams leaking, and the socks are soon coming off. Essentially the plan is to use my current one for summer diving, but a leaking Drysuit is too cold for winter dives, hence the new...
