Lord what a bunch of whiners. A half hour waiting at a known place in the ocean? That is NOTHING. There was no "miss" and even if there was it was no where close to "near". Man (woman) up and...

Gotta love the scuba police. Would be nice if people could learn from each others mistakes, but it seems that some know it all already and gotta armchair quarterback through the keyboard. Now I...

Why not put your concerns about "travel mixes" to descend to the depth of my feet in DW2?

If you get winded on the surface in the 2-10mins (or more) you might be dinking around you can take the reg out of your mouth. If spitting out the reg is that complicated I suggest that you have no...

Habit no. Putting the reg in your mouth to do some bubble checks for a few mins and then descending is not that big a deal. Just make sure its the correct bottle ;)

Ummm yeah, Let's just say that Mr Murley was an accident waiting to happen. The 15/30 may have been the proximal COD but there were dozens more waiting to bite him in the arse.

Fit people have...

Interesting, none of mine are cave dives. I have thumbed cave dives because I am "full" and I have also thumbed them because I suspected my buddy was - once I have that doubt its time to exit even if...

Just wait a week, moods change ;)

I had a Mako once and the thing that worked best was to leave it on permanently on-shore.



Duh we're divers!!!

That works ;)

Man, its a miracle I didn't die without that 7ft hose. Seriously, nobody is kicking a cave with a scooter clipped off on their right chest. Just like nobody is scootering out 20 mins to a reef and...

Agree, you are deluding yourself if you think Halcyon's $300 mini-life raft is gonna save anyone who's unconcious. You may be able to partially get it inflated under someone and drag them aboard but...

Once the first half of the long hose is deployed and in the mouth, the emergency is over.

Nobody is right chest clipping a scooter and kicking/drifting a cave.

Yeah, its not like people are carrying AEDs hiking either.

If its head trama or spinal rolling them into the boat is likely to make it worse. You need a litter & speed. Alot of major injuries (prop strike, head bash on hull etc) are just not going to be...

The gunnels on Nottie are 2x that high tho.

If we let it float, esp. without locking the trigger and even in an airshare, he would hit the trigger for us - whether it was pointed up, down, or sideways . This a particluarly insidious issue with...

You don't temp store a scooter on you and kick a cave (except for very short restricted areas where you might push it ahead). Its either running, clipped off to your butt and being towed, or clipped...

Its no big deal. Pretty much anyone can address this in one S-drill. I have clipped off a short Gavin the same way many a time because shoving it between your legs means you can't kick worth a...

Those do exist and could possibly be adapted, they are mostly built for dinghy outboards. The really big capacity ones aren't gonna fit. This one is good to 225lbs although I have seen these and...

Lynne has a high sided 22ft sportfisher type boat with no transom door. Its probably got 18-22" of freeboard. Recovery of the able-bodied is done with a (4rung?) ladder over the side.

A life raft or bouyant apparatus (the lighter weight inshore concept) could do the same thing.

Like the 2 person version here:...

Torque in the gunrack sense is relevant to your hand/arm. Its not especially relevant to how big a load you can pull which comes down to thrust. In brief, thrust is forwards "pulling" force, torque...

Yanno I loved the gunrack image Lol



I was referencing the rotation force on the body definition. The moment arms of the prop being roughly similar hence the rotational force on the body of...
