This report kind of skizzed me out. There are all kinds of dive activities I find interesting, and worth some measure of risk, but others, not so much. This is a serious question that I'd like some informed wreck divers to answer: what's the point? I mean, I understand the point if it's a newly...

I mentioned in my post (a few above this) the possibility of using battery-powered alarms. The problem I see with interconnected alarms is a power failure -- for example, if the fire is caused by a wiring problem, the same problem could cause the power to fail. Multiple battery-operated alarms...

Not directly dive-equipment related, but I was at the Fort Lauderdale boat show a year ago and many of the big manufacturers had hired really terrific-looking young women (I mean, like, *really*) to pull people off the docks and into their boats; they typically would give you a piece of...

I'm not aware of all the long-term problems of salt-water boats (problems with corrosion, etc.) but I am aware that smoke, heat and CO alarms, operated by 9-volt alkaline batteries, that are very loud, are also very cheap. I wouldn't be surprised to be told that the Conception could have had a...

No. I can't actually tell you what I have to pay, because it's not obvious at this point -- perhaps I do have to pay something and that will arrive in another bill. But, I got a fat packet of paper from Medicare with the $37,000 billing amount shown. As I understand it, from reading online...

Not Scuba related (but a boat was involved, the one on top of my truck) -- I fell off a truck a couple of months ago and broke my arm just below my shoulder. The break required surgical repair -- it was outpatient surgery, I was in the surgical unit for about five hours from when I walked in the...

A somewhat off-topic question since I don't have a lot of experience with different computers. iphones and digital watches often have haptic alerts (physical buzzing) to alert you to something -- you're not walking far enough, you have a message, etc. The tech seems simple and common enough. I...

I went to a very large dive center in South Florida last year with a guy who wanted to start diving, and they would sell him all the gear he needed but would not fill tanks. The sales clerk asked if he'd ever done any diving at all, and he said yes, he'd even been certified, at a Caribbean...

I'm an author of thriller novels and a diver, and I live in the desert southwest. I have a boat in Fort Lauderdale which I have not been able to get to since the covid outbreak. All my dive gear, my dive computer and all my PADI and other literature is on the boat. For a scene that I'm now...

I've been lurking on this board for years, I enjoy reading it but never had much interest in posting until this Covid-19 thing disturbed my Wa. I live in a desert, but my boat is on the east coast of Florida with my main dive gear. I have a back-up set here (old but working) and a swimming pool...

Is there any way to do that without setting up a PayPal account? I would send a check, use my Visa, whatever, but I won't use PayPal for my own reasons.
