Well here it is dead in the middle of the winter and I just got back from diving. The water temp was 62 and with my 5mm wetsuit it was perfect... It only gets warmer from here. By may the temp is a lot better and the sea is much calmer.... My instructor is about to finish his dive shop and then...

I use Lyra shorts and short sleeve top from Evo. I like it because it drys really fast and I can slip my wetsuit on and off very easy, even when wet. Wouldn't be caught dead in a speedo, and I have heard that board shorts do ride up.... The ladies I dive with wear a one piece bathing suit...

I have talked to a lot of divers regarding this when I was researching on buying my first set of fins. Most of the people I talked to all agreed and said that you shouldn't have more than 3 inches of your foot out of the pocket, especially for the Mare Volo fins, which I opted to buy and I love...

I am new to this and will be getting certified in about a month or so. Is there really a big difference on getting a mask with high or low volume? If the masks fits well enough, it shouldn't leak that much right. Some one told me that it would be harder to clear a mask with high volume, is this...
