Re: Re: Bottom timers

I just went to a Tec 2g. So far so good. I saw the Liquivision Zen today. The OLED screen was great. Its a small, nice timer, and you can replace the battery. The price would make one consider just getting a second real computer. Yep. I'm not cheap about gear, but 499$ for a bottom timer is kinda ha...

Re: Security zones

Harmless is good, but if you are in an outboard doing 20-25 miles an hour, I would wonder how much you would even hear. I would think that you would have to be in front of them. The other thing that bugs me. 100 meters out of a shotgun? on a moving platform? The shooter would have to be a great shot...

Re: Security zones

Doesn't seem to be loud enough or blinding enough to be an effective flashbang. They are best deployed in contained area where the noise/flash and concussion are magnified. I would say, in this context, they would be useless.

Not surprised about the clip, but the grips are usually taped with duct tape

Re: Dog shooting in Des Moines

Don't get me started on the lack of self reliance. Understandable, but, police are paid not to overreact. Can you imagine the chaos had the dog been carrying a closed folding blade knife? I peer into your short statement and see it's actually 1,000ft deep (with great viz!) and I agree 100%. People a...

Re: Dog shooting in Des Moines

I guess my big gripe is that most police officers do a lot of domestic calls. Dogs are involved fairly frequently. A LEO should know what dogs are more likely to be a hazard-yes, I know any animal can be a hazard to someone if it feels threatened, but I would think a LEO would familiarize themselves...

I don't know if Lahaina changed a lot of personnel since you were there, but I would say that the shop workers were.... "challenged" when it comes to basic understanding of things such as breathing gas. One of the people in the shop told me that they "could not put air into into an AL...

The charter claimed 90-95% success rate. I have no complaints.

We took the charter over to Molokai to Dive with the hammerheads a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty cool, saw about 30 Scalloped Hammerheads and had a cool encounter with a 8-9' gray reef shark that hung out with us.
