Do you CHECK to make sure your emergency oxygen cylinders are full EVERY TIME you head out diving? If you said no, you might want to start. Bringing an emergenc...y oxygen kit to your dive site is a feat in and of itself; don’t cut the last corner and let yourself arrive to the scene of an emergency with an empty oxygen cylinder. Taking 30 seconds to make sure your cylinder is full will keep you ready to provide an injured diver with nearly an hour of lifesaving oxygen first aid if they need it. See more

Good history lesson.... how far we’ve come...

2018 Cozumel, final dive there was a whale shark swimming directly above us. Would have loved to swim with these magnificent creatures. There’s always a next time...
