I still have this never used, never cut drysuit, which I'd like to regime. Somebody is cold and could be warm. I'm down the road from Round Valley if you're going there and want me to drive it over to see it.

Can anyone point me towards a hydro testing company that does the + testing in the Central NJ area +/- a few hundred miles? I have 4 LP tanks that have gotten almost no use for the past 10 years or so and may have about 15 or 20 fill cycles tops, although I have kept them in hydro and VIP for...

Hi all--I am going through all my gear in advance of a few trips and I have some items to sell or unload...First up I have a never used Aqua Lung Fusion Bullet Dry suit XXS-XS...I bought this for my daughter when she was going to college in Hawaii, but she ran off with a Coast Guard guy, got...

I guess I'm not going to list my XXL Knighthawk for sale LOL.

I still have all this stuff for sale For Sale - Canon G9, Ikelite Housing, DS51 Strobe, Assorted Arms & Stuff

As an aside I have a hard time with these Halcyon pockets when they are not jammed full of lead--the internal pocket with the weight in it often slips out and dangles. So if I only need 4-6 lbs, 2 chunks/bags of lead on each side, it becomes a PITA. I've added some bungee around the whole...

I think I am going to have to agree with you on this.

How about this for cat research:

Perhaps someone can loan you a BP to try out. If you're gonna buy, I agree with Iowwall--buy a used steel plate. If you end up going somewhere a little chilly you can throw on a 3mm without having to add too much additional weight (if you start with an alum plate with additional weight diving...

Rent a wetsuit (but make sure it fits). If you like diving the cold water you'll probably end up in a drysuit. I have a basement littered with gear that was bought cause it seemed like the thing to do before trying something new. Mistake. Included is a 7mm Henderson farmer john suit. Rent a...

Looking to downsize and part with some items that could be used better by someone else. I bought this years ago and learned that I had neither the patience nor the skill to be a top photographer. Would be good to teach someone how everything goes together. Make an offer. Canon G9 Ikelite...

A little late for the OP, but..Went to Wananavu a few years ago. The local people were very nice, although I found the western staff a bit stand-offish. The resort is very pretty, but not much going on, so my wife, daughter and son were a little bored after a few days as they weren't diving...

I haven't been in a decade, sadly, but we went with Sam's when we were there. We really enjoyed the trip--however I think I recall the time being away being longer than 4-5 hours. It took us a while to get from the PPR to Sams, then check in, then the ride to the site, then lunch (bento boxes...

Yep. Last time I used it we were floating in some decent swells off Hawaii Kai for about 40 minutes. About 10 of us were drifting East but the boat was looking out by China wall--we could see them every time we came up on top the swell. Also had the 6'Halcyon Red out, my daughter's 6' Pink...

How useable are Marine VHFs while the user is actually swimming in the water--not from a line of sight perspective but from the perspective of working after being immersed? A radio such as the icom--m25-handheld-vhf-radio has "AquaQuake" to shake the water out and keep the conversation clear...

Looks like the Sea Tiger.

My daughter's husband did this a few weeks ago--the confined portion was done in the owner's pool. Can't say where these guys had confined water.

I wasn't on this dive, but I've done this dive with this Op a number of times (e.g. to check out equipment or with a newer unsure diver). From my experience its typically in a shallow crater--my log says my average depth was 27/28 ft and max depth on the sand about 38. Lots and lots of sea...

Yes. Very comfortable. I dive everything from rash guard to drysuit in mine and I am probably a little thicker than you (5'8" 250). As an aside thickness has its benefits--it is fun to watch the marathon 0% body fat folks shiver while I am toasty warm--and I am pretty sure I can bench press...

I sometimes clip my weight off to the bottom of the smb while at the surface--makes it much easier to keep the big SMB upright. I find it very difficult to keep a large (Halcyon fat 6') SMB upright in any real wave/wind combination and tend to have to pull it down--this gets tiring after 20 or...
