Thanks Dsix36 and Blue Sparkle. We get most of our stuff from the US and that should do nicely. Cheers.

Hi all, I am looking for the thread specifications for the mounting bolts used on double tank configurations. That is the size and thread type / count for the two threaded mount bolts you typically use a wingnut on to secure the wing and backplate to the tank bands. If I can get specs for both...

Well put...

The RCMP seldom release anything while an investigation is on-going. While the story has been dropped by the press, it has not been dropped by the police and they are still gathering facts. That is one good thing about the cops here. No leaks or conjecture (usually). Expect a week or so until...

Story here... A sad loss...

Why do you change oil in your car regularly? Why change filters, check the tire pressure and fluid levels? Do you wait until you skid off the road before looking for issues or do you do it ahead of time? Same logic with reg servicing...

I have been thinking about this for some time. The more I dive, the more I am convinced that a paradigm shift needs to be made in the way recreational OW divers are both equipped and trained. Traditional training says if you get in trouble "Look to your buddy". OK, not a bad thing necessarily...

It is heartening to hear of cooperative action among otherwise competitive dive operations. I hope your down period is a short one and that you will be back up and running in no time.

I have a wrist mounted Cochran EMC-16 Multi-gas NITROX computer you can turn features on as you progress. Large display, built in conservancy factor you set and a thousand other just cool features. Big screen with everything you need on it. Does rec or deco. Auto detects salt or fresh water...

I am scheduled for a week long Dolphin Dive trip. September 20 - 27 through Explorer Ventures It is a liveaboard (Caribbean Explorer I) coming out of Freeport, Bahamas. This will be a special trip to swim with Dolphins and in order to get the most out of the experience I wanted to get some tips...

On page 55 (upper left) of the August 2008 Sport Diver Magazine is a picture of a young lady inside a wreck. The article is on Wreck Diving in Bermuda and it is one of many photos. I would post it here, but am sure it is copyrighted. The thing that caught my attention was her long hair. At 18" -...

Explorer Ventures has a liveaboard (Caribbean Explorer I) coming out of Freeport, Bahamas for a week long Dolphin Dive trip. September 20 - 27. Up to 5 dives a day, NITROX and great crew and accommodations. I was on the CEX I over New Year Dec/Jan and am going back for this dolphin trip. This...

As a former Air Force Technician with certifications on multiple transport, patrol and fighter airframes I have considerable experience in pressurization and how much it varies. No airframe is 100% air tight, all the time. Air is pumped in and vented continuously. Air leaks cause internal air...

Dive computers and tables are based on theoretical models. Your physiology and dive profile will impact on those models in unknown ways. Prescriptions, ascent rate, hydration level, water temp, age, exercise, how fit you are, smoking, medical issues, stress, alcohol, sleep etc. can change things...

I have had a Cochran EMC-16 for over a year and 75+ dives. Carried it on two - week long dive trips. 25 dives in one week on the first trip, 27 dives in 8 days on the second trip. Taken it Ice Diving in 34F fresh water and into 80F salt water of the Bahamas. Never one bit of trouble, never a...

Good call. You might want to consider clipping a spare one on the 15' stage bottle the boat deploys. Then if you lose it, you can recover that warm and fuzzy feeling before your safety stop begins... ;)

Quick side question. Where do you get the spring straps for JetFins? Been looking for them for a while.

I get these business card CD-ROMs given to me all the time. They are fairly resilient, shiny and fit into the smallest BC pocket. Perfect for a signal mirror.

Simple question, I hope... :) Does the PADI DSAT TEC Deep Diver course give you an equivalent certification for Advanced Nitrox that other agencies offer? I ask as I am looking at going to a CCR in the future and Adv. Nitrox is required for that training as you will handle 100% O2 on the...

OK, yesterday was a FUN day. After the last few weeks of disappointments (Don't ask) I found all the good karma I have spread in the last two years come back to me in one single moment. I went to St. Andrews, NB (That's in Canada, eh) around 3PM to get my tanks filled at the local dive shop...
