    Does diving influence blood pressure?

    Just something I've been wondering.. :confused: While actively diving, (or just being in a hyperbaric environment?), in general does blood pressure increase, decrease or remain the same? Both systolic and diastolic? Only asking out of curiosity, does not effect my diving plans, I *have*...

    I was in the free diving forum reading aorund, and the following was said: Which lead me to wonder, theoretically, if someone could do the CESA and then do a breathhold safety stop, would doing said breathhold safety stop allow off gassing to reduce the risk of DCS? Just my...

    A buddy with no Octo?

    Would you dive *within recreational limits* with a *trusted* buddy who did not have an Octo, Pony, or Independent doubles? -Meaning, if you had an equipment failure or lapse in judgement causing yourself to have an OOA, you would have to buddy breath with your buddy or CESA.

    What is your OOA escape plan?

    Just out of curiosity, what is YOUR Out Of Air escape plan? =) Do you have a Pony bottle for yourself? Your own octo incase your normal secondary regulator fails? Do you rely on your buddy's Octo or Buddy Breathing? Do you stay within the No Decompression Limits and shallow enough that you...

    What is the best wing for BP/W Sidemount?

    I already dive sidemount with a DiveRite Transpace and Trek Wing. I would like to make my setup simpler, using a Hogarthian Harness, a Backplate (to help move weight off the waist and up the torso where I need it). I am thinking a DSS plate since it appears to be one of the lowest profile...

    Anyone dive a FFM using independent doubles?

    Hello everyone.. Thanks in advance.. If you do, how do you switch gases? A gas switching block like here http://oxycheq.com/OmniSwivel_Applications.html on the bottom right? Possibly some sort of manifold with quick disconnects? If one were to use a manifold without a gas switching...
