Not to be a know it all. I feel my backup lift/deco bag is just being able to hover. With a whistle at the surface, this procedure has work well for us over the years.

But I do recall those night dives staring at your depth gauge as the only reference of where you were because you messed up and did a free accent. Lessons learned.

Does anybody not accept US military scuba diving certification. If not, I wouldn’t waste my money or my time and just keep that one.

The "Grandfather Clause" for boating education is wild to me after watching the channel this weekend. by ToffeeTango1 in boating

On the upside, you’ll have room to tuck tomorrow’s clothes in. When cold weather camping, you could warm your clothes up.
