    Drysuit diving...Twin Jets or Jet Fins

    I just got my Turtles in today - they look like they *might* have big enough foot pockets lol :thumb: It took 19 days to get them in from COVCI, but they were in bimini - I guess they are a small shop or something. Once again, thanks everyone... Joe

    Too Scuba or not to Scuba

    I can't talk on the subject of paintball but I am a big radio control fan. I have two cars both nitro - one is a street car that will do almost 80mph - the other is a 4x4 truck that is sooo fun. I also fly model airplanes...all together I have spent countless hours and I would guess over $6000...

    How do I dive with glassess?

    I have been wearing contacts since I was 13 - I am almost 30 now - I have been diving for three years now and just make sure I have an extra set topside, in case I lose them. I have even swam underwater with my eyes open, and haven't lost them, but of course, that isn't recommended.... As...

    renting vs. buying?

    I belong to a scuba club that has something like 60 BC's and regs, tanks, nitrox compressor, cameras, weight belts, exposure stuff, etc., which makes it great, I can borrow until I buy as much and as often as I want...

    Are My Fins Junk?

    My first fins were Sherwood Magnum Vs, which Rodale's rated low-average. They had this to say: The Magnum was the stiffest fin in this test group, as measured in the lab and as perceived by the test divers. This caused ergonomic and subjective scores to be on the low side of average...

    Drysuit diving...Twin Jets or Jet Fins

    I really liked the JetFins, my kick was better, for example: I was hanging around an instructor friend of mines class, and one of the students dropped their mask in about 30 ft of water where there is this tall grass...I sculled upside down in my drysuit to retrieve it, with no problems...
