I'm considering getting a Geo Air to replace my severely chewed-up Atom 3.0. I use MacDive for logging and wonder if anyone's had success syncing the Geo Air with MacDive for iOS via Bluetooth? I know it's not officially supported/tested, so I wonder if anyone has any personal experience...

I'll be in Costa Rica in Jan. and already have some dives booked from Manuel Antonio and to Caño Island. Later on we'll be around Punta Uva on the Caribbean side. How is the diving there?

I have a DIN HOG D1 that I use with a yoke adapter at my aquarium gig. This happens pretty much every time now that whether or not I put them on the tank together or first put the adapter on the tank and then screw on the reg, I open the air and it sounds like free flow (not sealed on). I turn...

I can't find this anywhere so hopefully someone here knows. Zeagle doesn't make corrugated hoses short enough for my use, but OMS does. Does anyone know if it will fit? I'd rather not go through ordering and then sending back if I don't have to. Thanks.

On my relatively new Zeagle Express Tech BC (replaced my older one that the USPS lost), it came with the standard 19" corrugated hose. On my short torso, the inflator comes down to about my waist. On my volunteer gig at an aquarium, I find the inflator gets in my way a lot when doing things...

Hi, all. I am most likely doing a 3-4 days of diving in June off Catalina with Catalina Divers Supply. It will be my first time diving there. I'm thinking a combination of Casino Dive Park and boat dives. Any suggestions? Also curious about photography. Their web site says that PADI...

My 50th birthday is coming up, and since the pandemic has really screwed up any real planning for anything, I'm thinking of heading down to Grand Bahama in early to mid June to dive with the tiger sharks and whatever else is good there. I'm not too keen on the idea of a liveaboard, partly...

I've been diving with a Crosstour (GoPro knockoff) and it's been fine, but mostly what I enjoy is looking for is nudibranchs and such. This leads me to the TG-6 and housing. The question is lighting. My situation is that photography isn't my main focus. I just like having a camera clipped to...

I am on the volunteer dive team at the NY Aquarium and am required to have my gear I use there serviced annually. I send via it USPS to Jim Lapenta every year. This time, it got as far Pittsburgh and then vanished. All Jim received was part of the shipping label, of course with all the...

It seems the trend for lights now is to turn it off, you have to hit the button to cycle through every light setting until OFF. Are there any good lights that maybe have a memory setting for brightness so you can simple turn it off without cycling? Ideally it would have an angle adjustment so it...

I added XS Scuba weight pockets to my cam bands on a new Zeagle Express Tech and now have just enough Velcro to get the end of the strap. My old Express Tech had plenty of Velcro. Anyone know a simple way to improve this? Not sure if other cam bands have more Velcro than this. Thanks.

Do drysuits sometimes ship new with the zipper closed? I got a new Body Glove one, even though they were discontinued years ago, because it fits me perfectly. It arrived with the zipper closed. Can I assume this is ok since it hasn't been dived yet? Thanks.

I bought a Cressi Lince mask and it was the mask and a little paper thing inside the box. No sticker on the glass or anything else. Is this how Cressi packages their masks or was this one previously used? Thanks.

I did a 70-minute dive yesterday in 58˚F water in my new Hollis Neotek and the experience was overall very positive, but I still got cold in my core section after a while. Fortunately still nothing enough to make me pray to get out. My feet and hands were numb, though. I get cold easily and...

In colder water I use a Bare Arctic 7mm full suit with a Pinnacle merino hooded vest underneath. The bare is starting to really wear down, and the lining around the hood is shot. I'm considering the Pinnacle Polar M8 if it fits similarly to the Bare. Anyone know how warm this alone would be...

Is there any reason this battery won't work? I bought this in Cozumel but got no signal whatsoever from the transmitter with it in it. Not sure if it's some other sort of CR2 that won't work. If it is a regular CR2, then it was DOA. Thanks.

What's the quickest way to change gas? For example, I'm on a dive trip and using Nitrox. Every tank could be a little different, so one might be 31%, the next 32%, etc. What's the best way to just go increment the gas by 1% or 2%? Thanks.

I get cold. Under my HOG/USIA drysuit, I used to use a Fourth Element SubX salopette/Ozone Jacket, which was pretty good, but switched to the Santi BZ400 because I wanted a simpler one-piece. I still get a little cold. Anything significantly warmer than that? Top choice is to try a Fourth...

I've had a Pinnacle Merino hooded vest for years, but am looking for something warmer under my 7mm wetsuit. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I bought Mares replacement bungee straps for their fins and after not rust many dives, the rubber pull loops have split apart around the middle. Has anyone else experienced this? Not sure the best way to fix it. Thanks.
