    I apologize to everyone who and questions about this suit in the last year.. I've been very out of touch and very dry :( The suit is still available if you're still looking, Shawn.

    White's Fusion Tech size 4xl

    Price reduced to $950.00 and will include a Weezil Extreme under garment in good shape. I also have Scubapro rockboots I can include, but I have small feet for my size... We'd have to compare notes on that.

    White's Fusion Tech size 4xl

    Hi, In responding to your question regarding my suit for sale on scuba board. I am 5'11" tall and there was plenty of height left in the suit, at the time I bought it I had a huge belly and was afraid a smaller suit would be too tight. My friend, who is a behemoth, tried it on and it fit him...

    White's Fusion Tech size 4xl

    This is the largest Fusion Tech that White's makes and will fit a wide range of large people. Please go check their size charts for detail on that. The fusion tech is a wonderful suit and I now five a smaller size... An accident kept me out of diving for almost a year and forced me to lose a...

    New design Everflex gloves

    I don't know when it happened but Scubapro redesigned the everflex glove to put a semi-dry style tight two layer cuff on the glove. It used to be a standard neoprene glove with shaped fingers and a cuff that worked well over dry seals. The new design completely changes the feel and application...

    Look 2 replacement parts

    I was trying to find a source for replacement parts for my look 2 mask. I had just upped the readers to 2.5 (2nd change) and the little plastic latch Hickey that goes top front and center got worn and fell off the mask during a dive. I can't find any listing for the three removable parts of...

    A belated hats off to DAN, join now!!

    The following is an e-mail I just sent off to DAN leadership by way of thanks and an endorsement. It also explains why my feet have been dry for almost a year... Good afternoon, As you may remember we met during the Sea Rovers show in Danvers, MA during March of this year. We spoke...

    It doesn't get a lot nearer than this

    I'm not sure how an SMB/Flag is any better than towing one in terms of legitimate boaters, but I do see some value in avoiding "drawing fire" from the locals. FWIW diving without a flag in MA is a $50 fine per diver and the Rockport harbor master patrols the beaches in his truck looking for...

    It doesn't get a lot nearer than this

    I appreciate what you are saying and know what you mean when you say the boat always wins, this is undeniable. However the fact remains that it is the boat captains responsibility to watch for hazards, particularly divers in the water close to shore in a well known dive area. This boat is local...

    It doesn't get a lot nearer than this

    From my OP If I had left my nephew to fend for himself this could be a far different thread.

    It doesn't get a lot nearer than this

    I'd rather not out him until I make a final decision on reporting him or contacting him directly.

    It doesn't get a lot nearer than this

    That's exactly what they think. I hear tell that not too long ago gunfire between lobstermen wasn't unheard of if one thought the other was poaching his traps. Of course since poaching lobster by a diver will result in the summary confiscation of all your dive gear AND your car I don't know...

    Advice on waterproof housings for an insulin pump

    A little south of the topic but I would also strongly recommend a chat with his doctor. I would be more worried about the insertion site, is it safe to enter the water with an insulin tube at all? There's a big difference between showering with it in place and full body immersion, even at...

    It doesn't get a lot nearer than this

    Ummm...did you miss the part where we had a dive flag and I waved it over my head? Old Garden isn't exactly a high traffic area and I sincerely apologize for wanting to check my bearings. But, yeah, when a 40' boat bears down on me from hundreds of yards out while I'm in the water waving a dive...

    It doesn't get a lot nearer than this

    I was doing a shore dive this morning in Rockport, MA with my nephew as my buddy (he is newly certified, this was dive 5). We were about a quarter mile offshore in about 50' of water when we decided to surface to check our location. As we were sitting on the surface I noticed a rather large...

    Mask off, do I really have to keep my Eyes open?

    I'm surprised how many contact lens wearers don't know this but it's practically impossible to lose a modern soft contact lens under water. The only real danger is when you break the surface, the splash in the eyes MAY dislodge a lens but even then you're unlikely to lose it completely. I've...

    How often do you talk about diving to non-divers? Forums excluded.

    I get to talk diving to most of the non-divers I know. All I need to do is mention that I dived this weekend and they look at me like I'm crazy and the questions start, the most common one is "what is there to see down there". Where I live if the water hits 70 degrees there's something wrong...

    Need some reassurance....or not...?? AOW

    As Karibelle and Dumpsterdiver say AOW sounds right for you. I took it as soon as I could so that I could dive with an instructor to build confidence and experience while learning new things. I learned to dive and did my first 10 or so dives in the Carribean so I had confidence issues here in...
