    Rolock dry glove system review and modification

    Yes agree - I e-mailed Rolock about this in the past and they got right back to me with the same answer. If you ever have questions, definitely e-mail them at the customer service e-mail on their web-site. They are answering from Switzerland, so the reply may be the next day depending on when...

    Rolock dry glove system review and modification

    FWIW, I've been using Rolocks for about 15 years.....first on my DUI TLS 350 with fixed wrist seals, and for the last 4 years on my DUI FLX Extreme with zip seals. It's a great system, durable/well-made and easy to don/doff. I am not the handiest person, but I've managed to replace the gloves...

    Out-of-towner questions...

    A few additional comments - - The vis. on average, will be worse than CA. Typical Cape Ann vis is 15 feet - lower in summer, higher in winter - Water temps in the warmer months will feel similar. In late summer/early fall (right now), water temps are as warm as 58-59 down at 60+ feet - At the...

    Adding 2x Sola 1200 to GoPro; useful or waste of money?

    I use just the supersuit housing that came with the 6. The obvious good news about the 6 and newer GoPros (at least for the flood-prone like me) is that the cameras themselves are waterproof to about 30 feet without the housing. I flooded the housing this past Satuday during a 2 dive...

    Suggestions for Belize

    If you've been to Ambergrtis and didn't like it, then you need to stay on one of the outer Atolls. To piggy back on FT's comments - check out Off the Wall. Belize Diving & Snorkeling Resort | Glovers Reef | Off The Wall Belize Also no AC, but having stayed out there 3 times it never bothered...

    Adding 2x Sola 1200 to GoPro; useful or waste of money?

    Nice work. I like the shot of the fins and sunlight at the end. In the beginning there were a few shots where the light angles need adjusting (shadow in the middle of the frame due to beams not overlapping)....but shorter distance shots later in the video you had fixed this. I have been using...

    Garbage Beach Woods Hole Falmouth Dive

    Have not been there in probably 8 years or so, as it is a long drive for me vs. Cape Ann. Defintiely agree with the Lion's Mane jellies. I've only been diving there in the very early season (April)...I assume at this time of year there is more concern about boat traffic as well as fishermen...

    Rhode Islander dies after diving by Dry Salvages

    Not much detail available...other than a post in the NE scuba FB group by someone who knew the diver and apparently was on the boat. Quote was as follows regarding the news article: "Not much of that story is true except for the fact that he passed away. He was not lost during the dive and...

    Socorro in January 2020

    We are taking a different boat (Rocio del Mar) for an upcoming trip from San Jose del Cabo, so just did some of the same research Our boat's web-site had a list of 8 "recommended" hotels. From their list, there is 1 close to the marina, a few in the "arts district" (cheaper) and a few large...

    65 pound backpack.....wow. I think my wife's entire backpack was 70 lbs when she climbed Denali..... :) The good news is that the planes in and out of CB are not the small ones used for LC. That said, Cayman Airways did weigh our carry-ons. My camera backpack is probably 25-30 lbs (GoPro...

    Thanks for the complements on the pics. We did not use the spa/massage services, nor did we try the special dining. I am such a functional eater when on a dive vacation, I feel like fine dining might be lost on me :-)
