I wasn't able to find any threads directly dealing with this, if I missed it just throw it up here to avoid a rehash. 1.) What should you look for in spotting LP hose too aged to trust? Is there a certain kind of wear indicative of hose deterioration? 2.) What should you look for in...

I’m looking for a basic air dive computer that includes a heart rate monitor. Does this exist? I’ve been scouring the planet for one for about a year (off and on, of course ;) ) and can’t find it. Does it exist on any of the higher end computers? Thanks, JB

Fellas, I've got an old "junk" wetsuit that is still pretty serviceable. I want to do a camo job on it, if possible. Can I paint it, and if so, what kind of paint will do the job? Can I dye it, and if so, what kind of dye should be used? One of my buddies suggested patching...

1) The Amazon: I won't even dip my toe in a place where bull sharks and crocodiles fight it out over wildebeest carcasses. That was perhaps the most disturbing and awesome footage I’ve ever seen. 2) Farallon Islands: The Devil's Teeth read like a bizarro world travel brochure (but a...

For all you gear experts: Can I expect any significant reduction in the performance of a Conshelf 21 2nd stage when attached to the 230 bar Titan 1st stage? I was under the impression that these would mesh well, but one of my LDSs explained that the intermediate pressures would be off too...

It was “Survival Weekend” on the Discovery channel this weekend. Most of it was wilderness related but there were two back-to-back shows that at least touched on surviving shark attacks. The first had an expert (that one relatively notorious shark diver with the monster chops...

There is an IMAX called Ocean Men: Extreme Dive. It's a documentary about Ferreras and Pelizzari trying to get to 531 feet (one breath) in "No Limits" freediving. It's only been showing in Canada. I've been trying to get a copy of this movie forever. Even tried to find someplace showing it in...

Quickie: I'm changing some of my gear up and what to know what size LP hose the Titan and Legend regs use (I'm assuming 3/4 but it could be 1/2). I want to keep my long hose. Anyone know? JB

Just how involved and/or experimental have any of you been with looking for things? Has anyone created anything cool for excavating or sifting? Any cool underwater contraptions out there? I bring it up because I was staring at a silverware dispenser at work and realized that it would...

I was originally certified at a military academy while teaching. More than a few of my mentors and instructors had combat diving backgrounds. They don’t approach the water the same as, well, anyone really. Suffice it to say, I picked up some odd diving habits. One of the interesting ones...

“I don't want to breathe my long hose, I want to have the best performance regulator in my mouth and the long hose decreases this performance.” With literally thousands of deep exploration dives accomplished by divers breathing the long hose, the performance argument seems rather a moot...

I’ve had a good time reading about DIR and assessing where I fit into the system already and what I might consider changing to be more compliant but I don’t have a good feel for some of the configuration. I’m kind of a visual guy. Could some of you hardcore overhead divers post pictures of...

I'm working on a couple of projects utilizing 1” nylon webbing (stage bottle harness) and am looking for ways to bind it to itself. The bind is such that I’m folding the webbing over onto itself to create a loop. I have some questions for your professional scrappers: If you are going sew...

Thanks for having me. JB
