    Sidemount diving in the Denver area?

    My husband and I are moving to Denver next month. I've talked to a few dive shops but haven't found anyone that does sidemount diving or training. My husband wasn't able to finish his training before we will be moving so he'd like to complete the OW portion locally once we move. Any one know of...

    Nemo Air battery cover

    I'm leaving for Key Largo in a few days so I took the gear to the pool two weeks ago to make sure all was well. My Nemo Air is registering low battery so I took it to the shop to have it replaced. They had 4 techs try to get the cover off and it won't budge. They got it to the unlock point but...

    Nemo Air problems

    My Nemo Air is turning on and registering dives when not even connected to a tank. I just came back from the Keys and have 7 dives that were 0 minutes long, with depths ranging from 12 feet to 97 feet. One of my real dives registered the time and depth fine until the end when it says I went to...

    Nemo Air battery life

    I bought my Nemo Air in 8/08. It started showing a low battery in 6/09 so I took it to the dealer and they replaced it. Last weekend the low battery warning came back on. Should the batteries last longer than a few months? Is there something that is causing it to drain the battery - a setting I...

    Is the knowledge review for PPB, Drift and FishID on the AOW DVD the same one that is used for the specialty?

    Full foot fins for bad knees

    I am thinking about getting a pair of full foot fins to use in the pool and on warm water trips. I currently have Mares Raptor split fins and love them but they are heavy for travel and the boots take forever to dry. I have had three knee surgeries and have a tendency to get leg cramps. I tried...

    Nemo Air problems

    Strange thing happened with my Nemo Air for my first dive yesterday. I set up my gear, turned on the air and checked the pressure using my Nemo because it is faster than waiting for my VT3 to register the pressure. The display on the Nemo looked like it was in dive mode, showing a depth of 90+...

    Sea&Sea DX1200HD and dark pictures

    My husband bought me the new Sea&Sea camera for Xmas - I took it to the pool this last weekend to test it out before we got to Grand Cayman on Saturday. I assumed this would be an easy point and shoot camera but of the 20 or so pictures I took, only one is really visible. The others are varying...

    Spring straps for Mares Raptor or Quattro Excel

    Does Mares make a spring strap for their fins? If not, any plans to market them? Is there a brand that fits well (read easy to install...)

    PADI Wreck, Deep and Boat specialties in one trip?

    I am going to SC to do the PADI wreck specialty with my LDS. The class and pool time will be done prior to the trip. Is it possible to also do the deep and boat specialties at the same time? I'm AOW so I already have one deep and one wreck dive. I know wreck requires 4 dives - what is the...

    Mares Kaila or Mares Dragon AT?

    I have a Kaila that I bought used - went diving last weekend and liked it....however I just discovered the Dragon AT. I like the design because I hate stuff cluttered up by my face and I always have problems with the hose inflator. Does anyone have experience with the air trim BC's? What do you...

    Wet Suit rash

    I received a pretty nasty rash on the back of both knees last time I went diving - 3 dives without taking the wetsuit off in between dives. Is there some lotion, cream, gel, etc. that you can use to help prevent a rash. I occasionally get small rubbed spots where my boots hit the fins but this...

    Mares Nemo wide or Nemo air?

    I'm just starting to look at purchasing my own equipment. I've kind of narrowed it down to these two - I like the idea of a wrist computer but also like the idea of having an air integrated computer. Any advice? Thoughts? Thanks! Julie

    Hello from NoVA

    Hi there - my name is Julie and am new to this sport. About to finish my OW cert this weekend at Dutch Springs - a little nervous but also very excited! My only other experience with diving is a Discover Dive in Belize - can't wait to go back down there - the reefs were beautiful.
