If you have a complete computer falure and its air integrated... You have a compund problem. You have lost your tank pressure and depth gauges too. The reality is though that complete failures are pretty rair with the modern computers that are serviced with any regularity. You could...

Anyone thought to hang the equipment off the floor? If you get it off the floor and off the walls your equipment should be bug free. Baring that... How about a small table and put each leg in a small plastic or glass bowl to keep the ants off.

Actually the DIR method would insist that everyone drive the same car and have exactly the same cloths... same tires, etc. Or you wouldn't be allowed to drive. The training side of DIR would insist that you know how to be a master mechanic and be able to fully take the car appart and rebuild...

Has anyone with the honkers considered that each time you fire it off you waste a breath of air? How badly will high air consumption between bad breathing habits and honking do to thier SAC rates? I haven't had people honking on trips, but the rattles I've found to be annoying above and...

My wetsuit came with a wide rounded shaped hanger. I typicaly give the wetsuit(s) a good 24 hr soak in cleaner/conditioner then hang it in a windowless bathroom inside out until fully dry. I then rightside out the suit and hang it in a dark, cool closet off my home office with my other...

Clean your reefs? They EAT reefs and chew holes in them on top of wiping all living matter off of them. Hey, you want them you can have them... You get President Obama to send me a paltry 2 million in stimulus money... I'll organise many local divers to carefully hand collect live Urchins...

I've neve seen this on a dive myself... I don't think killing things for entertainment is a good idea. I do support taking responsibility to kill something for your own food (rather then having someone else do it.) On the other hand though.. the West coast is having serious issues with...

I use a Sunnto II computer. First the bad... Look for my documented issues with the 3 second hard hold for 3 seconds of back light, as well as 3 second hard hold for 3 seconds of digital compass. Almost makes it useless... Sunnto keeps pitching it in adds and on their web site but the...

Normally I like a good dark beer like a Guiness. Honstly though it depends on where I'm diving and whats available (Granted if its Corona I'll pass) I've found that a citrus gets the sea salt or the pond scum out of my mouth best. Normally : In Mexico I'll get a Pacifico or Bohemia with...

Personaly I like my Princton Shock wave LED. Its a lot brighter then any of the other lights I've seen on night dives but not too bright. It also has a high and low brightness setting. I've found myself puttin it on low and shading the lense with my fingers to control the beam so i'm not...

Yes you can... the point of breathing through your teeth from the bubble stream, NOT directly off the tank so the pressure isn't an issue. Its not much differnt then the free flow reg, accept its a lot more bubbles to suck from. You can turn the valve down too, its not an all or nothing valve...

Does she have a Scuba Board account, is she missing out on all the good information and resources here at Scuba Board? I'm waiting for the part where he allows her to login and express her take on this. Sorry but you sound a bit selfish and self centered from how I'm taking what I read by...

For just one more dive and $100... You don't even need to be in PADI for that though ;) Like I said, there is a reason PADI is the largest and the most well off of the SCUBA acencies... Yes and I am jealous. :D

I started reading through and just thought I'd jump to the end so forgive if i repeat something... Water resistant is NOT water proof. Granted you could put over 20 of them on your BC for less then half the price of the 1 water proof watche... The odds are most of them would not fail. If...

Just take your Advanced class, its will actually have a few specialties included typicaly. If your with PADI instructors you'll find that you'll get offered MANY specialties just by diving with them. I'm certified under NAUI but I've been offered from various PADI instructors: Night, Boat...

If they don't have a fishing lisense requirments... then go participate in things and get one passed. So a fraction of the population who hand catch the lobsters are making a worse impact then commercial crab boats with bait pots who catch everything large and small? I think you need to go...

I read though a few of these and thought I'd offer my findings after night dives (sea and lake) and low to no vis lake dives. For refence to UP I first used my bubbles. However is some instances like when your in currents or swimming you can't SEE the bubbles very well. My section option...

True Environmentalists are hunters, on land or in the sea. The origional environmentalist was Teddy Roosevelt! He learned about the animals and how they lived, hunted them on their turf, had them mounted, and sent all the data and specimens back for educational use! He wasn't hunting for...

Spell it out and not be cute with Anachronisms, closing the door to people debating over stupid things.

I found that the DC800 actially turns off and on so fast I just turn it off and on manually as i use it. Hit on... lift camera up... its already on... click!
