    Reliability of Magazine Equipment reviews?

    Question: If you owned a magazine that relies on advertisers to pay the rent AND you test the advertisers equipment in your “Product Review Section,” What kind of review would you give a manufacture spending $5,000.00 a month to advertise if their gear was not good? I personally have seen...

    Full Face Mask

    The better full face masks typically come with a built in, high quality 2nd stage regulator. In the case of the Interspiro/AGA full face mask (FFM), it does have its own 2nd stage built in. You only need to connect the AGA supply hose to one of your LP fittings on your 1st stage and the other...

    Full Face Mask

    In my opinion, the AGA full face mask is the best of the best. All others try and copy it. It is great for Sport Divers as well as the professional diver. It was tested by Duke University at 1800 feet in unmanned tests. Why use them? Comfortable, you don’t get dry mouth due to the fact...

    Diving on A&E TV.

    Greetings to all. I helped with this show and know all the in's & out's. However, I am not going to let the cat out of the bag. I think those who saw the show got the message that Mike was not going to bend keeping his DIR style of diving no matter what. This caused the rest of the team to be...

    Is there a trick to getting lead out of mold?

    Whatever you do, don’t drop a hot weight in a bucket of water. I learned the hard way. To try and speed things up, I dropped a hot weight in a bucket of water and it exploded throwing hot lead and water all over the place!;-0

    New Boat to dive from

    RRDAVE, nice boat but be careful. I started out with a 20' Seaswirl then moved on to a 24' Skipjack with fly bridge then on to a full blown dive boat. I bought a Newton 36' Dive Special. Funny thing is I typically go diving with about 3 to 4 guys and the boat was built for 22 divers with...

    Who Wears A Snorkel When Diving ?

    When I wear a full face mask, I don't use one. However, whenever I dive standard Scuba, I always have one on. :snorkel: Sometimes when I am out of air, I am not ready to go back to the boat. I just float around in the kelp enjoying all I can see! I’ve followed big fish, watched seals dart...

    Diving with strangers

    I just came back from a sales trip to Australia. Most of the time I was seeing Military folks but I did get away for a 3 day trip to the Great Bearer Reef. We had 18 divers on the boat. I did not know any of them and made dives with most of them. I find the key is to talk a little before...

    Wreck Stripping

    This is a funny topic. I know a lot of divers who preach not to take shells or anything at all. Which is probably the best thing. However, these same guys have GREAT shell collections and lots of cool stuff they like to show off!:argue:
