    For Sale DUI FLX Extreme Dry Suit in Los Angeles

    Hi, I can try putting it on and see how much extra room there is. I haven't worn it in a while. Do you know what undergarments you plan to use? I can include my Fourth Element Arctics, and they're not horrible, but they've seen better days. Give me a day or so to try it on, since I don't...

    For Sale DUI FLX Extreme Dry Suit in Los Angeles

    Hi, I quit diving locally several years ago, and would like to sell my dry suit. It's a beautiful DUI FLX Extreme in really good condition, charcoal grey. Breaks my heart to sell it but it's really just been sitting in a bag for too long. Asking $1500, which is less than half what I paid...

    I'm not sure if it's steel or aluminum... it's about 5 lbs. negative buoyancy, if that helps.

    Closed: Single HP 100 in Los Angeles

    EDIT: All sold Hi, I quit diving locally several years ago and these have been collecting dust. They haven't been touched in several years, so obviously need Viz and Hydro. Maybe a tumble\service? I also have a steel HP100 that needs all that stuff too. The doubles have a Dive Rite...

    Kona Hawaii

    Here's our video from Kona in November: Kona, HI Scuba Diving - Sharon and Graham Futerfas - YouTube We did all shore diving, which was easy. Rented an SUV and got tanks from Kona Diving Company, and I recommend stopping by the local hardware store and getting a tarp to protect the carpets...

    Dead dolphin at Veterans Park

    The dolphin we found yesterday was obviously entangled in the navigation line. We know this because we could continue to follow the line and find where it was staked off by Re-Bar Concrete reinforcements used as stakes to anchor the line. It's the one that had the Warning sign about entering...

    Video from our dive adventures in Kona

    Thanks Lynne, and everyone for your kind comments. The Manta's were a real treat and all the lights in the water made it even more spectacular. The best dive sites we did were 40 minutes north in Puako where we saw the turtles and the HumuHumu-NukuNuku-Apua'a. I looked and looked for that...

    Video from our dive adventures in Kona

    My wife and I dove in and around Kona last week and had a fantastic adventure. I'd like to share the link to the video we shot, which includes footage from shore diving and a Manta Night Dive (through Kona Diving Company -- highly recommended!). We shore dove Honaunau Place of Refuge (2-Step)...

    Bubbles between HOG SPG and hose

    Tested yesterday on a tank and the bubbles are gone and the system holds full pressure for at least 30 minutes when I shut the tank valve off but leave the regs attached. They came assembled originally from DRIS and leaked in the same spot upon arrival. I sent them back and the SPG was fine...

    Bubbles between HOG SPG and hose

    Great customer service! Chris immediately sent me a PM and walked me through it on the phone. I knew it wasn't difficult to inspect, but didn't want to go it alone. When I unscrewed the SPG from the hose, the O-ring was not on the spool but was inside the HP hose. When I removed the spool...

    Bubbles between HOG SPG and hose

    Hi Chris (and everyone), I've had the HOG D1 regs for 5 months now and really like them. I'm having trouble with a small High Pressure leak between the SPG and the High Pressure hose, and I'm wondering if this is something I can fix myself. I had this same problem when I first bought the...

    Scorpio Divers Cancun. Who are they?

    My wife and I dove with Ben and Jorge last summer and can't wait to go back and dive with them again! We hadn't dove in 10 years before trying one day of diving with them that turned into three or four, and now we're hooked. They really are just two guys trying to run a business and take great...

    How would you deal with this ?

    I have been in the 'new diver's' position before, and am still grateful to the nice experienced diver who helped me when I was uncomfortable. Buddy awareness skills are so important, and I've found many divers allow way too much distance between them and their buddy. I was guilty of this...

    Intro to Tek; Which agency?

    I'm not sure if I can answer your question, but I can highly recommend Steve Millington after taking his GUE Primer course last weekend. He's a fantastic instructor and very patient and he stresses the FUN of diving. I would imagine Fundamentals would be an excellent prep for any Tech course...

    Diving in Isla Mujeres

    Had a great time with Scorpio Divers (Ben and Jorge) diving out of Puerto Morelos, and I think they can do Isla Mujeres as well. We also did the Whale Shark trip (not scuba) and it was phenomenal, but I got seasick on the way out and it rained on us on the way back. If you can get to...

    recommended fins

    I bought split fins (Apollo BioFins) when I first started because I didn't really know anything about fins and that's what the shop sold me. I don't dive them now, have switched to a non-split fin (Scubapro Jet) because I got interested in DIR and want to learn different kicks that are more...
