    Lahaina fire?

    Harmony and Dillon from Dive with Harmony have confirmed that they have lost their shop in the fire, and basically their business is gone. Of course theirs is just one of many stories like this coming out of the tragedy in Lahaina, but if you have a connection with them, as we do, please...

    Kittiwake depth question

    Anyone have reliable info on the depth at the wheelhouse on the Kittiwake, specifically at the wheel where people pose for photos? I'm wondering if a youth limited to 40' can reasonably dive there and other upper parts of the superstructure since the vessel heeled over. I've been there as...

    Nautilus Explorer shark cage dive question

    That's what I've been told weight wise from Nautilus. I remember taking the big step from their panga to the deck on a long ago Nautilus Explorer trip out of La Paz, thought it might be similar and thus perilous for my knee this go around. I was thinking of bringing my own Pinnacle pouch weight...

    Nautilus Explorer shark cage dive question

    Couldn't find a good answer on their website, or here in the forum, so here goes. Anyone who has done the Nautilus Explorer trip to Guadalupe recently, could you please give me a detailed rundown of how you enter and exit the cages? I have a bum knee (healing fx) and am thinking climbing from...

    Stuff it in?

    Haven't found anything on this topic in a search. My wife has a fantasea RX100iii housing, in fine condition, but she broke the little shutter that covers the RX100 lens such that you have to jiggle it with your finger to get it to open when powering on. Obviously, not good for a housed camera...

    Small world, but yes, Cupertino! He had two more for sale, and I got my mitts on one today. Hope it passes hydro.

    Xs Scuba 120?

    It's not always that easy to find a used Worthington, I've been looking for over a month for an HP 100 on the west coast. Everything I've found has been long gone by the time I stumble across it. Almost scored one today, but the listing went up at 11:26, I had contacted them by 2pm, and it was...

    Thanks vancouverdiver, I've got a backup set of neck and wrist seals and glue in my spares kit. I'd lose a day, but hopefully be able to salvage the trip.

    What to bring to God's Pocket

    It's probably too difficult to fly my own Steel 100 up there with me, though I'd love to take it. Is there enough land based activity to make it worth bringing a daypack and hiking gear? Will I need towels, or a drysuit hanger? Shampoo? Should I bring a full set of spares or are there some...

    What to bring to God's Pocket

    A buddy of mine and I will be diving at God's Pocket this summer (arriving July 31, 2016) and I was wondering whether any who have been could give me tips as to whether there was anything in particular I should pack besides the usual stuff for a drysuit diving trip. Thanks!

    Diving GBR & Coral Sea in Late August: What Should I Know / Bring?

    Just did a trip with Spoilsport in July. Easy boat from which to dive, good crew, you should have a great time. During the day a few people would catch some sun on the top deck, but most would hang out in the lounge or at the tables just aft of the lounge, which are relatively protected from the...

    Fantasea polycarbonate housing vs aluminum

    Oops, on closer inspection, the threads are metal, there is a metal ring screwed into the housing, I'm presuming it is aluminum.

    Closing thread as I ended up getting a Fantasea RX100 Mk3 for the wife's Mk3. Thanks to those who messaged me about the French housing, and the Aquapazza.
