Hey all, Here's my dilema. Some years ago I purchased a Light and Motion Tetra housing kit for wifes Oly. 5050. Housing has been bulletproof and regular servicing (last in 2009) has kept it so. We picked up two more 5050s as people upgraded. Going to Cobalt Coast end of May, so she calls for...

Hey all, I posted in this forum cause I'm looking for someone local who can use and pick up two pelican tank racks in the North Miami area. One is a quad and the other is a six pack. No longer have boat or truck, so not needed. PM me for location and contact info...

Hi,Just a couple of questions on your boat set up. What type of ladder setup is on your swim platform, sturdy enough for divers in gear to exit? What type of tank management system do you use, tank racks on bench, pelican racks ? Picture of boat and 6-pack to boot has me drooling. But sometimes...

Hi, which cruise line are you using ? The time looks right, for a change.

Heading to Curacao in December,need to change battery. I'd like to have a new o-ring before doing so,just in case. However, none of the LDS in Miami seem to carry these. Most say to just be careful when installing new battery. Is there an online source I can contact for new o-ring,or a LDS near...

Nice report, We're going back to Habitat Dec. 6-13. It's been about 6 yrs., just going to dive the house reef at our own pace and times. Taking a break from the liveaboards, where I feel compelled to do most of the dives offered. Love the infinity pool. So far AA flight 939 out of Miami is...

Hi, Probably in wrong forum, maybe mods. can help. My niece is leaving NY to return to So. Fla., she'll be teaching in Broward system. She'd love to find a place near Hollywood Bch or vicinity. Any suggestions on semi-reasonable housing in the area would be appreciated. I'm thinking studio /...

Hi, my wife had similar symptoms once after using non-drowsy dramamine. Never used it again. Can be disconcerting to say the least.

Go ahead and use it, been using mine for 20+ years. Fits in bc pocket. Just don't forget to check o-ring condition.

Aloha Air allows two 50# check in and a carry on < 40#. They are all jet service, no turbo props. Flew from Hon. to Kona 20 min.

Hey All, Just returned from a 2wk. vac. visited MOC on last day, excellent facillity. Did not know aquarium dive was avail.,oh well. I do remember staff mentioning that they were going to release the tiger around April. Any interested may want to check on that. Later

Heading out Fri. for a Kona cruise, then a 7 day cruise of the islands. I'll post trip report when we get back. We've been on Cayman, Belieze, and T&C Aggressors several times so should be able to give comparison.

An old telescopic car antenae can double for a tickle stick and a fold up mesh bag.

Stoney, Found a scuba optics +3.00 power Magni-View lens in my stuff bought but never used box. If interested PM an address and I'll drop it in mail. This is a spot magnifier you install in bottom corner of mask, not a true bi-focal.

I tried some spot magnifiers that fit like bifocal, but ended up with prescription ground mask with bifocal for close work. I bought a Seavision 2000 with the light gathering yellow lens, excellent. Since my wife liked her Cressi mask, she sent it to Seavision and had the same type lenses...

Nice Job, I used to cast my weights with a similar mold. I had a two burner coleman and an old cast iron fry pan. I'd put the mold over one burner to warm and heat 5# lead ignots the plumbers would give me on jobsite. When melted down I'd skim the impurities from the top, move the mold to a...

Hi, I dive with a Sea Vision 2000 w yellow prescription lens and bifocal spots for gauge reading. My wife sent her Cressi Superohcio(sp) to seavision and had her prescription put in with the yellow lens. This is a low volume mask that fits narrow faces very well. Divers Supply has a couple...

I'll usually take scout position, look back between my legs, circle back and hang out in the blue while she takes her 20 or 30 shots. Then continue along 'till turn around point. In a drift, I prefer her to take the lead. Been diving together 30 yrs. Have had a few testy moments, mostly while...

Sounds like my wife, she gets younger with every dive. Her fountain of youth! Welcome to a world you'll never get tired of. We're going to Hawaii this year, hope to dive Red Sea someday soon. :-)

Jeez, Ankle wts.,Force Fins, and I suppose purge masks, OH MY ! I personally think the use of any product that enhances a diver's comfort zone is not a problem. I would much rather see someone enjoying themselves than worrying whether their technique was a 8.9 or a 10. Of course, we could...
