I believe you can do a pretty good tech dive on air- that's how it was done, prior to 1990, or so. I'm not saying it's optimal- we have choices available that just weren't there for the civilian sport diver back in the day. So- if you're diving to a wreck on Bikini atoll, breathing the only gas ava...

I believe the term "tech" was coined when mix gasses came into play..

Yeah, Surprise! Math books have errors too. I think it should say 259.3%

If that doesn't work, the standard answer for any math problem is "42"

Aukland, New Zealand -- An Electronic Dive Buddy built by University of Auckland engineering students could make scuba diving a much safer sport. The Electronic Dive Buddy attaches to the buoyancy jacket and monitors the diver’s motion while underwater. It automatically adjusts buoyancy if an unsaf...

This is a great article I posted on newsvine about a survivor on a ship that was torpedoed by the Germans in 1939. Finally fulfilling wish wish to laid to rest with his fellow sailors..

I think NAUI has one as well. But yeah no one I know has one the reason I was asking is since its such a worthless c-card I just wanted it to count towards my 1 out of 5 for Master Diver. :partyman: Something to remember if you are after your MD cert, assuming your doing through the same instructor...

Nice bike man, Ive been out of the loop myself for a while. Lemme know when you get up north again, I might just blow the dust of my gear and get wet again! Its been to freakin long...

I wonder why instructors don't test their Rescue Diver students with a scenario like that--put a mannequin down and surprise the students to see that they react the right way (i.e, not panicking) 'cause sometimes, you know, you're not so much "rescuing" as "recovering". :pale: T...

First Ive heard about it Chris, to be honest I think id be scared sh** less if I ran into it at 105 fsw and half narced! Last thing I want to come across while divng is a dead body...

Same thing happend to me with a shop Ive spent thousands at. New mgmt took over and changed the bank system. Had my tanks filled, and the air was bad. It smelled like plastic, had the tanks cleaned. Got a bill for 60 bucks for two tanks. To me it was a huge slap in the face. I never paid the bill gr...

Now we just have to smash your other high-tech appliance and replace it with the latest and greatest.

Dude thats freakin sweet! 4 head with stereo, Im jealous!

Makes me wonder why another former scuba instructor wasn't charged with homicide. Whatever - judgement day will be a real pisser for him. Sad stuff. This will be an interesting case to follow. I am curious as to who or what your your accusing Doug? This is a serious blow to the dive industry. And I...

There is an article in the herald about it. Dont know the year, but it shows a sonar image of it. The Navy did some work locating it. If you stop by the museum you can see the article on display, pretty cool..

So unless you found things in the shallows, or, the item is a golf ball, it is sunk in 18" of silt, because the whole bottom is thick in silt - at least where I dove. Metal detector? S'mike I dive the park on south shore drive. Its a small park with limited parking, and it is teraced. Lots of ...

Guns! Thats cool. Did you ever clean one up to working order? Yes I did and I still have it. The other one is a paper weight.. Guns! Thats cool. Did you ever clean one up to working order?

Must have been the "AIR" he was diving back then.....

It's truly worth the hassle of going to Seattle Center. I was really impressed- stuff really does look like it's floating off the screen into your lap!
