Re: END vs EAD

My understanding is that EAD is used for calculating nitrogen loading/deco whereas END has to do strictly with the narcotic properties of gasses (O2 or nitrogen)

Need some software advice

I know a bunch of you know alot about software so here goes. I need to find a program that will allow me to control which websites can be visited by the salesmen at my dealership. Free would be ideal - at least on a trial basis. Stupid Zynga.

Re: What Fins Do You Use & Why?

Turtle Fins by XS scuba. Mainly because they're adequately stiff and they were cheap used. Others I'd consider owning are Jet fins and the Hollis F1s. Whatever you get, do yourself a favor and get springstraps.

Feedback on HOG 58 lb Doubles Wing

Does anyone here have this wing? Is there anything you specifically do or don't like about it? They can be had for about 1/2 to 1/3rd of comperable wings so I'm tempted to pick one up. I like my 32lb HOG singles wing FWIW and the horeshoe design doesn't bother me.

That's really cool guys. Scott, your side scan images look so good. Even though I have the same sonar unit my images look nothing like the first one you posted.

Re: Contact lenses and diving

I dive with disposable toric lenses and have no issues, even while opening my eyes during critical skills dives ( well I had lots of issues, just not with the lenses). The toric lenses (for astigmatism) are designed so they will automatically rotate into the correct position, so even if they get mov...

Re: Not that I'm buying a boat yet? Just a question.

I'm pretty sure accepting a little gas money does not make you an unlicensed dive charter. A waiver can't hurt but I doubt it'll protect you from gross negligence. Anything other than that is unlikely to result in a lawsuit anyway.Case in point: I was involved in a body recovery in a diving accident...

Re: Can lights

Holy Bat-Post Kees!

I only got about two thirds through it but It sounds like you nailed it. My recomendation would be a lightly (pardon the pun) used 21w HID from Salvo/Light Monkey or Halcyon.


I hear a lot of good things about Dusty's light, but haven't seen one in action yet.
