    Your upgrade sucks

    I know. I am in the business. But really. Firefox, IE, Chrome all are really slow now. Not only in navigation but in input. Multiple access from multiple service providers. I know it is not your fault. But please understand it is a problem.

    Strangest most unsettling thing seen diving?

    Perhaps this would be a start. In perhaps the most compelling account, military divers in Siberia's Lake Baikal, the world's deepest lake, encountered "a group of humanoid creatures dressed in silvery suits" at a depth of 160 feet. Three humans died during the ensuing chase. They are out...

    DIVE REPORT -Extreme ScubaMarket Savannah Dive!

    10/11 Off Savannah on the Jane Yarn and SageBrush. Steady 6' seas, and some a bit bigger, we had a blast! Roll off and up into the wave! Viz sucked at 5' to 10' but inside the wrecks it was fun, lots of fish on the wrecks, more than I have seen previously, interesting surge effects at 70'...

    Buckle on belt with BP/W

    This may be a dumb question. I haven't been diving a BP/W long. All the information I see shows the buckle on fixed to the longer left belt being threaded thru the crotch strap loop to end up on the shorter right hand side belt over the right hip. It seems that if one needed to ditch the rig...

    Diving after neck surgery

    I searched the site and found very little info on this. I just had an L3 anterior cervical disectomy. (They stripped three discs 3-4,4-5,5-6 out of my neck and bolted in a titanium plate.) Surgery went great, no more pain. My question is has anyone else had a similar surgery and if so how has...

    Davey MC1A

    I guess I will learn a bit as this is my first compressor. So far I have run it about 30 minutes testing and it generates good pressure on all stages, unloads at 3700 and kicks back in at about 3100. Diesel runs like a top. Still trying to determine overall condition. It has an hourmeter that...

    My wife is going to kill me

    But I am now the proud (anxious) owner of a Davey 15CFM compressor. She is going to dismember me when I pull this thing into the yard. 4310 - Compressors and Vacuum Pumps at Government Liquidation

    Opinion on H2Odyssey Fathom-55/Cochran EMC-14

    I did a pretty exhaustive search here and as these are not the most common wrist computers I would like to know if anyone out there has one and your experience with it. I am looking at picking up the Fathom-55. (I believe it is the exact same computer as the EMC-14, just repackaged)
