I've never encountered one but I believe they did a special on them on Discovery Channel and also something in SCUBA magazine. I don't know much about them but I've heard the name.

Thanks everyone. I was wearing a pretty thick neoprene hood, so I'm sure that was part of it. I appreciate all your advice! I'll try it all in the Keys next weekend! Thanks

I'm a relatively new diver with about 10 logged dives. Sometimes its ok, but usually I have trouble equalizing. It took me a good 5-10 minutes to get to 25 feet last dive. I just plug my nose and blow pretty gently and I'm pretty good at doing it frequently as I descent. (I can't seem to...

I'm sure I should know this but what size orings are needed for a common tank. I don't own a tank but last time I went diving I had an issue with my rental ring. I'd rather just have them handy

I recently purchased the Roxy SYNCHRO women's fullsuit 4/3mm in size 2. I want to dive in in a month or so in the Keys (I get cold easily) and then on a liveaboard in June 09. It fits really snug. I had a hard time zipping the back and the neck's a bit tight. It will fit great for the time...

Our local quarry has on average 10 ft or less visibility. My last experience it had less than six so its a little freaky for a beginner. If I bought/rented a dive light would this help?

I've been looking at wetsuits for a week or so. So far the best within my price and size range is a roxy 4/3. Does anyone have a Roxy wetusuit? I'm not sure if I trust it or not. Plus, it doesn't help that I can't find reviews for it. I'm looking at the Roxy 4/3 SYNCRO women's fullsuit...

For all of the people up north who resort to quarry diving, the first time on a dive boat is...different. Help us out. Some things you wish you would have known BEFORE your first boat dive.

Hey guys. Thanks for all of the responses. I ended up purchasing the Mares Trilastic 5-4-3 in a size 6 (which seemed to be my size range) off of LeisurePro for about $130. It should come in a week or so. Thanks for the help!

Yes. This is the same everywhere. For me its not so much as supporting my shop as the service I get there. I don't know about yours, but with mine as soon as I grow out of a bcd or wetsuit or my reg is damaged they automatically replace it with only a 20 dollar fee. It seems like a deal to me...

I know this is a pretty late reply but if you are still buying I would completely recommend the Aqualung Pearl i3. I have the women's version and absolutely love it. Instead of and inflator hose you have a little lever on the left-hand side. Pull it up and you go up. Push it down and you go...

I'm planning on buying a wetsuit fairly soon. It will be used first in the Keys in November but also here in Ohio and on a live aboard next june in the Windward Islands and Grenada. I'm small (5'2" 120 lbs) and get cold pretty fast. Should I get a 3mm, 4/3 mm, 5/4/3 mm, or anything else in...

I'm getting over this problem too. I just feel like I can't breathe when there's water surrounding my nose. If it's that kind of problem, do this: Use a pool and snorkel! At home fill your mask with water and stick it to your face for a certain amount of time each day and walk around, talk...

Thanks guys. I actually dove the Benwood with Silent World in June. I loved them. They were all very kind and eager to help me out as a beginner.

I've only had 2 ocean dives before in Key Largo in June. We had some swells but that was all. I am planning to go down again in November but I aslo want to take my friend who has never ocean-dived before and is not so comfortable in the water. Last time I went and took a guide with me and was...

I just purchased a full set of gear and am planning a trip to the keys in November. Should I take everything as a carry on or just regs? I'm pretty short for money and can't afford to have to buy a new set of gear. What would you suggest?

Hmmm...well you could always do statistics of organisms but that's not very fun. It's just hard because you can't really touch/capture/interact that much with the organisms. The best I can think of is to possibly create perhaps a fake fish/predator of another organism and see how the fish...

How largescale is this project? Also, how is the diving in FLL? I have a condo down there and was always wondering what it was like.

I was in Rodanthe, NC a week or so ago and saw this same thing. My friend actually saw one right by his feet in about 4 ft of water.

the kinesis fins by sherwood are decent fins. They're "average" to me. I am also very active and did my open water course with them. Had no problems with them but they're not anything special
