Anyone familiar with the company "Bare"? I was wondering if anyone knew if they were any good, what their track record is, etc. Apparently they make some pretty good suits, both dry and wet.....just wondering. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Ok, the easiest way to tell if someone is "low" is to watch their actions. If you know the person well, you will know if they are behaving "differently". By differently, i mean in an irrational way. For example, I was filling tanks one day and instead of opening the tank valve, i started...

Very eloquent Greg. Allow me to extend my apologies to Rodale's for any misinformation I had recieved and (foolishly) passed on. Sometimes my wits don't work the way I'd like them to when it comes to seeing that there are always two sides to every story.

thanks Paul.

I am anm insulin dependent diabetic as well and I have a set routine for dives: 1.check my blood sugar 1 hour before the dive, then again 30 minutes before the dive to see if my blood sugar is dropping faster than normal. 2. I ALWAYS carry a glucose "gel" in my bc pocket (it can be bought...

Any thoughts on this subject? DAN is doing quite a bit of research on the matter, and I would like to know if anyone else out there has any experience diving with diabetics or are dibatic yourselves.

The reason i said that i thought the Halcyon was "simpler" is b/c they don't throw a bunch of unnecessary loops, D rings and such on the backplate and wing. If you need that stuff, Halcyons gear is set up so that you can place it where you want it. Also, their Eclipse wing has a "double" bladder...

I think i might go with the Halcyon Eclipse (with the 40# lift wing), simply because of its simplicity and durability. Dive Rite is not a lesser brand by any means, but i think the halcyon will suit me a bit better in the long run. I thank you all for your input and hope to see you under the...

hmmmmm.....

Ok, heres the deal with Rodales and Scubapro: Rodales does all their testing at Oceanic's site! Next time you pick up a Rodale's, check how many "great" reviews Oceanic recieved from them. I think we all know that Oceanic is not a bad brand and they make quality gear, but their gear cannot...

I'm pretty sure the prices are comparable....my main question is what to expect from both systems. I plan on using this BC for all kinds of stuff and I want one that is durable AND customizable. I dont make a lot of $, so I cant afford to buy BCs for each type of dive I do. I'd rather buy a GOOD...

We carry the Fusion at the shop I work at and it is much larger than most BCs. The reason for the "armchair" style is to provide a "heads up" bouyancy on the surface, while streamlining better than a jacket or back-inflation style BC. I dont know what to think of it, really.....I am in the...

I do a lot of open water dives and will be attempting more advanced training, accompanied by some introductions to the finer points of cave diving, wreck diving and exploration. I need to get a BC that will suit all my needs and be able to adapt to the various conditions I will be facing both in...
