I always dive with my 19cf pony. In a SHTF situation, I will be glad I have it.

I have an update! I just found out that not only does the Aquatic Center of Rochester charge $25 to try on a wetsuit, but they also charge $50 if you'd like to try on a drysuit. I asked if it was refundable or credited toward a purchase of either and they said "Yes. As long as you buy a wetsuit...

Locally, we have 2 shops that carry different brands. What if you were trying to decide between gear from shop A and shop B? You just eat the loss because the wetsuit at shop B fit better?

Did you even read the original post?

That's right. My local dive shop has done it again! My sister went to our local dive shop, Aquatic Center of Rochester. She had every intention of purchasing a wetsuit. She brought a few up to the counter, politely asked if she could try them on and they said, ABSOLUTELY!!!.. for $25. A $25...

Thanks for all the great info. I especially like the idea of breathing it down 1/2 way at the beginning of the dive, then switching to the backmount. The 30 I dive with as a pony basically disappears & I don't even notice it's there. That's what got me thinking about the 72 and maybe extending...

I was just throwing it out there. I ask because I have the tanks, extra regs and additional gauge. They're from a pony set up. Would it be ok to do, or would it be viewed like a 72 cf pony bottle? Emergency use only

Would it be ridiculous to sling a neutrally bouyant 72 for additional regular air on a deep dive?

Governor Paterson has proposed to close a bunch of New York State Parks. The 1000 Island region is scheduled to take the largest hit. Home to the St. Lawrence River, many historic shipwrecks and the best diving up north!!! Help me out and sign the petition I created to stop this madness -...

Sling it - 19cf or bigger

Ok so I'm heading down to Albany Georgia. Probably around the 1st of the year. Does anybody know of any great dive sites or charters in the area?

My navigation skills are NOT where I'd like them to be. When I go for AOW soon, that will definitely be one of the specialties I'd like to learn more of....

Catchy title

That's good news!

I dropped some tanks off at a shop for a fill, all AL80's. Loaded up my gear, went out on the boat and started to get ready for a dive ........ 4600 PSI!!!!! A buddy said if it fails the hydro in a couple of years, that'll be why.....

As everyone has already said, a mask is quite personal and just because 5 reviews said it fit great, doesn't mean it's going to fit you great. Don't forget to take into consideration the color of the silicon skirt on the mask. Some divers swear by black, some by clear and some don't notice a...

If this were the way the LDS set their pricing, I'd be very, very happy

What's DNY?

The posts in this thread have actually made me a better diver. I considered my buoyancy skills a bit sub par prior to page 7.... Then, by page 9 I knew I was rescue diver material... Suddenly, I'm on page 4 and struggling with OW skills

and ruin a craptastically good time? :shocked2: yet I couldn't agree more :D
