    Used Zeagle Ranger BCD Size: Large $350

    Hello, I have a used Zeagle Ranger for sale. The size is Large, but remember they're pretty adjustable. It comes with two Zeagle Weight Pouches and I added the Zeagle BX Inflator Valve Exchange that allows you to rinse the BC with a waterhose through the inflator by just unscrewing the inflator...

    Oceanic VT 4 No More Buddy Check?

    Hello, I just saw the following message on the Oceanic website: "Please Note: VT 4.0 units shipped after November 1, 2011 no longer feature Buddy Pressure Check." If I understand this correctly, then then new models will not allow you to view your "buddy's" air. Is that correct? If so...

    Any Liberal Computer Recommendations like Atmos 2?

    I'll definitely have a peek at the Cochran as well. I don't know much about them other than they're made in Dallas and they're uglier than Roseanne Barr, but I understand they are infinitely customizeable. (Added to reading list).

    Any Liberal Computer Recommendations like Atmos 2?

    Thanks folks for the suggestions. @Shftrdog: Thanks! I've read a number of reviews and articles about the Oceanics lately and their dual Algorithm capabilities. It sounds like it would definitely give you some more flexibility. One of my dive buddys that has an older Oceanic (I think Geo...

    Any Liberal Computer Recommendations like Atmos 2?

    Well, that is one option I'm considering but that's not as much fun as a new one. Plus I think I paid $120 for the computer about 5 years ago and I don't know for certain but since it's a discontinued model I think it might cost more to be fixed that I originally paid for it. I'm not going to...

    How do you remove lionfish from your spear?

    Let the snappers take it off the spear for you! I was just in Cozumel last week and the snapper have not only learned to take the lions off of the spear, but if you pay attention to them, they will "bird dog" the lionfish for you. We even managed to scare up a small lionfish from a hole and it...

    Any Liberal Computer Recommendations like Atmos 2?

    I thought I would toss this out and see if anyone had any recommendations. My wife and I have used Aeris Atmos 2 wrist computers for the past several years. We love them. Unfortunately, my wife's computer has started to eat batteries lately. I have no idea why it's doing this, but we no...

    A lion fish spear

    Ah, excellent, thanks for the reply. That's good to know. We are going down there later this month and my buddy and I have been spearing them in other places, but were always told no in Cozumel. It gets frustrating to drift past a group of 10-15 lionfish sunbathing on a coral head and not be...

    A lion fish spear

    So, I haven't been to Coz in over a year and haven't been keeping up on the forum much. Are tourists now allowed to spear lionfish in Cozumel?

    CoCo View, Roatan Trip Report 21-28 Aug 2010

    Hello, We just got back from our annual trip to Roatan, Honduras and CoCo View resort and I thought I would post a report: CoCo View has new managers (Deb and Mitch). Liz and Lobo have moved on to new adventures. For the most part, the resort hasn't changed much that I could tell from...

    Boat dives in Roatan?

    I just got back from CoCoView this past Saturday...it was great. My experience was very much like what Isaac-1 detailed. Anyway, here is the way things happened last week. First, your dive lockers are about 20 feet from the boat you'll be diving on. We were assigned one of the 4 dive boats...

    Living in Cayman

    Hey thanks for the information so far. Does anyone knowif the requirements are different for people who will reside there for 4-6 months out of the year? I didn't really think about there being a different requirement for part-time rather than full time residents until I read the posts...

    Living in Cayman

    Has anyone actually lived for any length of time on the Cayman Islands? This is one of the retirement places that we are considering and would like to get any words of wisdom from someone who has "been there, done that". How difficult is it to buy a house or condo? Do you actually "own"...

    Hot Days Cause Regulator to "Bubble"

    I will listen more closely to the 2nd stages when I connect the reg setup to the hot tanks. I didn't notice any hissing or leaking air, but it's generally noisy enough I wouldn't hear it unless specifically listening with the 2nd stage near my ear.

    Hot Days Cause Regulator to "Bubble"

    What do you mean not your favorite dive in the world? Is there another location where you can find all of your favorite colors in one place? Well, as long as you like green and brown that is..... Back to the point, the tanks are much hotter by the third dive. It's usually in the low 80s...

    Gear failure

    I have posted before about a diver in Cozumel who had a wireless computer failure during the first dive of the day. The really funny part about the whole thing was that he was sort of snickering about mine and my wife's gear setups on the boat ride out to the first dive. He commenting about...
