    Suunto Wireless Air Transmitter like new

    For sale: A Suunto wireless air transmitter, used a dozen times, 2.5 years old. I just tested it by pairing with a Vyper Air and tank pressure was accurate. I'm selling because my Vyper air died and I replaced it with a different computer. Cosmetically it looks like new, the battery has never...

    Need help with my Vyper air, depth gauge died?

    Despite today's high surf, my home is not 23 feet under water, but my Vyper thinks it is. What happened is that I was checking my equipment for a dive planned for tomorrow. I pressurised everything and the Vyper read about 3100psi. I depressurised the hoses and now the Vyper keeps reading...

    Debating getting a wrist computer, pros and cons

    I use a Suunto Vyper Air here with wireless transmitter. I like being able to just glance at my wrist for all of the information I need. Plus, I don't like the extra bulk of a console. I keep a backup SPG on me tucked away in case of a failure, but no failures yet. The Vyper has some useful dive...

    Going Deeper. Next step advice?

    Diving beyond 60 feet is not a main concern in Cozumel because most of the interesting things are above 60 feet. For Coz I suggest perfecting your boyancy control, get nitrox cert, and maybe get some practice in with a small camera.

    Recommendations on which AOW adventure dives to take

    The night dive was the best out of all of them. A kelp forest at night is just awesome.

    How to ensure my safety when there is no guide dive with me?

    You just need more experience. Perhaps take an advanced open water course if you haven't yet. I took one about 6 months after open water and I felt that it helped me immensely. The main thing you need to do I think is to learn how to navigate. Eventually you'll be good enough such that you'll...

    Spyderco Caspian Salt mini-review

    I just came here to provide my own input on this knife. I dove with it this weekend but never unsheathed it underwater as I never needed it, and one other problem. Even though I pulled the straps tight, it's still not enough at depth due to compression of your wetsuit/body. It just fell down and...

    LDS Recommendation for BP/W gear?

    Thanks for the suggestions! I just want the right setup that gives me the best freedom of movement, the most comfortable and easy to use. I'll visit Tobin in a couple weeks once I'm done with everything that's keeping me busy. I've read a lot of the BP/W debate threads and things get a little...

    LDS Recommendation for BP/W gear?

    I want to buy my first BCD and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a shop that sells a good selection of BP/W stuff? I only have experience with jacket style BCDs, but I wanted to at least check out the competition before buying anything. I'm in the Orange County area. Thanks!

    New diver looking for summer suggestions

    Thanks for the input. I'm in SoCal, so plenty of diving options here. I'll be picking up the rest of my gear soon, so I think a refresher pool session would be a good idea along with the new gear. I'm technically a member of the dive club with the LDS I did OW with, so I'll attend their next...

    New diver looking for summer suggestions

    Hi, I did an open water course last December. I had great instructors and learned a lot, not one of those vacation courses where they don't teach you anything. I'm planning on doing a lot of diving this summer, I haven't done anything since the course because of school. I'm thinking of two...

    Are Cert/Currency requirements too lenient?

    There are ultimately 2 approaches. 1. Assume all divers need a nanny to look after them, create more laws and restrictions because we assume people are stupid and can't make good decisions on their own. 2. The other option is to keep things as they are. Assume people must be responsible for...

    OW Course suggestions in OC, fullerton / brea / orange

    While Dive N' Surf looks great, it's just too far away for me, almost an hour. I'm looking for somewhere around the Brea / Fullerton / Orange area and would like to do an accelerated course that takes about a week to complete. Pacific Wilderness in orange looks good, but they don't appear to...

    Your very first and most recent dive

    Very first was an "intro dive" on the outer reef off in Australia, out of Cairns. I chose to do it after seeing that the dive masters were cool bunch of people and we had small groups of 4 so I went, and then I went again! The coral down there is spectacular, so many colors it's unimaginable...

    Hi, from SoCal

    Hey, new here of course. Planning on getting my OW cert during the next few weeks. I did some diving off the barrier reef in Australia this summer and now I'm hooked! Any recommendations on where I should take the course? Orange County is preferred. I'd like to do it in the shortest time...
