4 Easy Ways To Share Your Passion For SCUBA Diving!
by SKuba Steve on November 25, 2014
Diving is cool… not just a little bit cool… it’s REALLY cool! Having dive experience and being a part of the SCUBA community makes each of us a member of a fortunate group. The great news is that this group is always looking for new members and as ambassadors of the SCUBA community (aka – SCUBAvangelists) we enjoy drawing people into the sport, either vicariously through our own dive stories or quite literally by introducing them to diving for themselves.
Here are 4 ways you can share your SCUBA! Dive In to the Under Pressure Dive Blog for more!

Destinations of Opportunity
by SKuba Steve on June 12, 2014
There you are... you're traveling for business or visiting your relatives; walking down a boardwalk... and then it hits you... 'I could be diving!'
How often do you take the opportunity to go SCUBA diving when you are traveling for other reasons? Do you avoid packing your gear if you're not going on a 'dive trip' simply because you'd only get one or two dives in anyway?
I know I have. I've been to California and the northeast plenty of times to get some dives in but left my gear at home. Why?
Here are 5 reasons divers lose dive opportunities!
It's too much to carry.
That's not the point of this trip.
The airlines charge too much for checked bags. ...
New Podcast for Divers - The Under Pressure Divecast!
by SKuba Steve on May 27, 2014
Hi Divebuddies around the world!
I just released the 2nd episode of the Under Pressure Divecast and would really appreciate your feedback.
The Under Pressure Divecast is a podcast about recreational SCUBA. I cover one main topic in some detail. After that I have a 'Tip of the Week' segment and finally I close the show with a brief discussion about a piece of gear.
You can find the divecast and related show notes on the Under Pressure Diveblog web site here.
You can also find it in iTunes here (note... this is the US podcast link for iTunes) or on Zune or Blackberry Podcast directories. ...
We just certified some new dive buddies! Check out the video!

Snorkel Pros, Cons and Solutions
by SKuba Steve on May 14, 2014
Why do divers carry a snorkel? Don’t they have air already?!
If you’re not a SCUBA diver this is an understandable question. Why would we have a snorkel if we’re already carrying air in a cylinder on our backs?
And, if you are a diver do you ever ask yourself this question or have you ever left your snorkel in your dive bag (you don’t have to admit it out loud… just let the voice in your head do the talking).
The answer to the first question is, of course, we do have air but there are some good reasons for carrying a snorkel as a SCUBA diver and some problems as well.

Cnidariapocolypse III – The Final Rapture!
by SKuba Steve on April 18, 2014
In Cnidariapocolypse II – 2Narced/2N… well 2Narced! our daring divers averted disaster for themselves but the threat to civilization lingered.
Somewhere… in the deep dark abyss… was… the monster…
…or was there?

Cnidariapocolypse II – 2Narced/2… well 2Narced!
by SKuba Steve on April 16, 2014
In the last exciting episode of Cnidariapocolypse our intrepid divers were confronting both the great cnidarian leviathan and the ‘rapture of the deep’.
…and let’s face it things were not looking good…
You may have been there yourself at some point; found yourself mid-dive with a buddy that just wasn’t quite all there (assuming they were normally there in the first place – divers can be a silly lot).
Problem solving underwater is a key element to safe and enjoyable diving and this is how Doug and I kept things together and survived the Cnidariapocolypse.

Cnidariapocolypse – N2 Narcosis Saves the World – Sort Of
by SKuba Steve on April 15, 2014
It happened over the course of just a few seconds. Seconds though that stretched to what felt like strands of never ending salt water taffy, long and sticky.My dive buddy and I were coming up from a great SCUBA dive on a reef in Bonaire. At around 43' I looked up to see a wonder. The sun was shining down through the last atmosphere and a half of our dive and those rays reflected through the fragile bell of a jelly fish. The light shone through in such a way that it seemed the creature was lit from within.
At the time I didn't carry a camera (think... pre GoPro... or PG as I'm fairly confident we'll refer to any date prior to the 2010 release of the GoPro Hero HD system. Just sayin'.) and...
