Yes, I was looking at that one. Price is a bit out of my budget though...may have to just go with a basic dive computer for now. I'm not into anything too technical, just pretty straightforward recreational diving, almost always in less than 30m and usually in the 15-25m range.

I'm looking for a replacement for my old dive computer. It occurred to me that with so many fitness bands and smart watches out there, surely there are some that are designed to handle SCUBA diving, ideally with apps that turn it into a dive computer. I like having an everyday watch that...

Even if I could get the IDC completed right away, say in Florida, and then do the IE later this spring maybe in Halifax it would work? I don't think the IE has to be completed immediately following the IDC? Thanks for all the helpful suggestions....I'll definitely look into this.

Thanks GDI...I'll look into Florida and see what I can find. Any chance you know of specific spots that run the courses?

Thanks for the suggestion...unfortunately, Torpedo Rays aren't running anything in the near future. The thing is, this course doesn't have to be in Atlantic Canada...I had jokingly said he should send me to Florida and his response was "Price it out". So probably anywhere in North America...

Hi folks. I hope this is the appropriate place to post this question. I am a divemaster (finished the course last summer, but have been diving for 20 years, and did my rescue diver course about 18 years ago). I teach high school biology full time, but work for a dive shop in PEI, Canada...

Can I ask where you got your setup? Was it new or used? I currently have an old Sony camcorder (the kind that takes Hi-8 tapes). It's been a great system, but I'm ready to move to something newer, something smaller, and something that doesn't require me to keep buying tapes! I've been...

OK, so it sounds like Catalina Island is a good bet. I'm ok with making it a full-day affair, no problem at all...that's actually kind of what I'm looking for. My only concern would be ensuring that I don't do anything that would interfere with my flight on Tuesday. I don't know what the...

Thanks for the info. I'll try contacting Laguna Sea Sports store, and the webpages as you suggested. My preference would be for Monday, earlier in the day if possible, although an evening dive on Saturday or Sunday would be great, too. The schedule ends up being pretty tight with the flight...

Hey all. I'm going to be travelling from Prince Edward Island, Canada, to California, staying in Anaheim, from Friday, April 17- Tuesday, April 21. I'll be flying home on the 21st, leaving at around noon-ish. Most of the time I'm there will be tied up with a conference, but I'll be free...

I've been to Coz several times, always in March. I just wear a 3mm shorty, no hood, and never found the water cold, even after multiple dives. Of course, I'm in Eastern Canada, and July water temp get close to 70 F for about three weeks, then starts getting colder again. We were in Cancun...

Assuming we're talking about DURING a DIVE, and not snorkelling, may we also add that: "Real men don't need to breathe"? :D Or are you using some new regulator I'm unfamiliar with?

I actually have a clip of pout from this past August...I'll try to post it in a couple of weeks (I'm heading to Mexico tomorrow, so it will have to wait until I get back!). I've been diving on PEI for almost 15 years, and had never seen one before, then we went out diving just off the north...

These eels are about 3' + long...the biggest ones probably wouldn't be more than 4'. When we're diving on mussel lines, especially in some of the bays, you can't go 30 minutes without running into them. IMO, they are one of the prettiest animals you see in Atlantic Canada. I had been trying...

I hope this is the right place to post this. Here is a video clip I shot last summer of a couple of American eels in Prince Edward Island. These are one of my favorite animals to see in our area. We were doing some work on a mussel lease, and at the end of the day I just grabbed my camera to...

Here is a video clip I shot last summer of a couple of American eels in Prince Edward Island. These are one of my favorite animals to see in our area. We were doing some work on a mussel lease, and at the end of the day I just grabbed my camera to shoot a few minutes of video and use up some...

Shot this video while diving on a mussel lease in Prince Edward Island. We see these big eels all the time, but they are normally so timid it's difficult to get very close. I don't know if it was the light on my camera housing or what, but these ones seemed very curious, and I was quite happy...
