I've got a Wisdom computer with the quick disconnect hose and the compass attached to the top of the computer. I'm trying to streamline my equipment and hoses and would like a shorter hose for the Wisdom. The quick disconnect fitting appears to be unique Sherwood so I can't just use a normal...

There's good diving in San Carlos (near Guaymas). Several operators running boats, also some shore diving. My favorite operator is Surface Time, near the marina.

Brett recently bought the shop from the previous owner. Maybe he will increase the amount tech gear they stock.

Allwet Scuba at Warner and Rural (Tempe) also teaches tech. They don't typically have any tech gear in the shop, however. Last time I was there asking about tech gear the owner showed me his personal rig, but didn't have anything in stock.

I didn't know silicone grease could cause a false positive. I did have a small tube of silicone grease in the same ziplock bag. I guessed that they pulled the bag of dessicant for closer inspection, got sidetracked by something, and forgot to put it (or the inspection notice) back in my bag.

I recently went to St. Maarten and Saba for a dive trip. I put my dessicant packs in a ziplock baggie and packed them in my checked luggage. When I opened my bag the dessicant packs were missing. My first thought was that I had forgotten to pack them. I vividly remembered putting them in the...

Has anyone been to Pleasant lately? What was the water temp at depth?

I'm heading to St. Maarten and Saba in May. Would you expand on your experiences with Ocean Explorers and Dive Mania? What did you dislike about OE? What impressed you with Dive Mania?

I may need to make a business trip to Florida in the near future, either to Tallahassee or Coleman. Is there any good diving around those parts? I will have one day to dive, and could drive a bit if needed. I would prefer ocean diving over springs. Also, I won't be able to bring all my...

I've been to Cozumel and Roatan so I can recommend these, but I tend toward the view that any diving is good diving so I vote for all of them!

My 5060 recently flooded on dive #6. Same problem O-ring in the lower left corner. Olympus was no help, just offered to sell me another camera! If you used a credit card to buy it check with them-they might cover it. Mine has a "purchase assurance" plan that covers damage to merchandise...

Average water temp should be in the low 60's. www.sancarlosmexico.com/ has the average for each month at the very bottom of the page. Also, http://www.terrafin.com/sstview/samples/smpgym.htm has surface water temps for the area, but requires some sort of membership to get current data. I...

My buddy took this picture while I was trying to get a closeup of a small moray. Needless to say my picture was a very out-of-focus view of his tonsils!

Mine went to the California facility. I called them after a month of no news and they told me they were waiting for me to contact them to find out what I wanted to do. They decided it's "Beyond Economic Repair". Why they waited for me to call them instead of them initiating the contact is...

If they've had or camera awhile call and check the status. I sent my 5060 back because it was showing "Zoom error" on the screen and would shut itself off. Their repair status website showed they received it, approved it for warranty repair and were working on it. After about a month the...

I curious what kind of problems you had with the lens drive? I've read about people getting a "zoom error" displayed. I wonder if this is a weakness in the design.

I recently got a 5060 with the PT-020 housing. I'm very happy with this setup, except for the wrist lanyard. The Oly housings have the lanyard attached on the right side. I don't like having a large bulky object (like a camera) tethered to my right hand. As a right handed person, I use...

I was in San Carlos over the weekend and also got the effects of Hurricane Howard. It rained and stormed all weekend. Thankfully, we were far enough north that we could still dive, but the visibility dropped to 15 feet. In spite of the weather it was still decent diving.

I would guess it would be Nogales (assuming that is where you cross back into the US), elevation 3,865 ft.

Puerto Penasco - aka Rocky Point - leaves alot to be desired. I haven't been there in many years, but the only thing to see were the the stingrays in the sand. San Carlos is much better. Fish are much more plentiful and varied. Several sites have interesting rock formations if that is your...
