You should email Elios Diving in Italy. They often come in with a better price on a custom-tailored suit that the retail prices for off-the-rack suits.

Well, an update on "The Dive" movie. J. Cameron hasn't been able to devote time to it, and so director Martin Campbell has been brought in to move the project forward. More info. here Martin Campbell to Direct THE DIVE and James Cameron Passes Passion Project The Dive To Martin Campbell -...

Hi, Does anybody know of any good places to dive around Cochin (also called Kochi) in Kerala in South India? Are any south Indian divers on the board? I'll be visiting Cochin in a couple of weeks. Steve

I have a watch with built-in digital compass and one of those old-style great big, luminescent wrist dive compasses. Used to use the wrist compass for work all the time. Nowadays I use either of the compasses on occasion, usually when we swim to a dive site from shore & will be wanting to...

Hi g1138, A compass doesn't have to be one of those big things that create drag on your wrist. Casio makes a line of watches they call the Sea Pathfinder series, and many of the models have a built-in digital compass. They are very streamlined, and since you have to have a watch if you're...

I'll be in Madurai, India, for the next couple of months & am planning on taking my snorkelling stuff down to the Indian side of the Gulf of Mannar perhaps to scout out a few places between Valinokkam & Dhanushkodi where the Gulf of Mannar Marine Park & Biosphere Reserve are. Has anyone been...

Hi Natalie, There are several spots around Belleville/Shannonville I think the nicest for snorkelling is Lake on the Mountain ( Lake on the Mountain, Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada ) which is a little bit east of Picton, directly up the mountainside from the Glenora Ferry docks...

Actually, there is one- the music recording industry (note that I said the recording industry, not the musicians themselves) The RIAA is the only industry organization that thinks it can survive while suing its customers, including cuties such as 8-year old girls and little old ladies...

Hi Jasoncassanova, Here are the basic principles of gas physiology: 1. Oxygen flows from places where it is at high pressure to places where it can be at low pressure 2. Oxygen actually has a presure in water, just like it does in air 3. Usually, you breathe in air with a high...

Have to confess, I haven't tried 'em, but probably wouldn't anyway. The hypothermia issue in tropical waters is a real one. I've been guilty of going wetsuitless in warm water (my definition of warm is >25Ž° C). I re-evaluated, though, when I read that the couple who were left behind a...

I've seen old films of guys (and gals) diving in pre-neoprene days when all you had were suits made of sheet rubber rather than foamy neoprene. No compression at all, (except maybe for little pinches of skin caught in folds of the material?- I kind of wince when I look at those old suits...

Hey, Pre-BC Oceanobsessed is right- US Divers/Aquaspshere has completely stopped production of the Sphera. It's one of the great freediving masks because it's compressibility makes equalizing easy when you're going down fast. It's also great for underwater hockey since you have great...

Hi there, I like this intro idea the forum has. As the title says, I live in Toronto, where there's nowt but freshwater diving, but that's OK- cleaning your gear is a snap here, in fact the only thing you have to wash out is your wetsuit when it starts to get a little gross- or if you hit...
