Thanks for all the info! I wish I would have checked this earlier, but I am a pumpkin farmer and this morning is the first time in weeks I've had to get on the forum! Iwill bring my mask and camera+housing and hope to find something. JMBL.. Are you in Marseille? Chrisch, thanks for the medical...

Going to Marseilles in early November. Is there any diving to do in the area? Any Cousteau history to see? We are experienced cold water divers

I'd go back in a heartbeat! Was there with a group last September. Jesus, the manager was great. The staff knew our names and preferred drinks on the first day. The food was incredible, and a ton of it. Subway dive shop was good. The best ever? No, but very acceptable. Boats were fine, DM's...

Good news: Finally coming to Alaska! Bad news: On a cruise ship Wife wants to go on a family reunion cruise next June.. I agreed only if we could take our gear (Lie, I woulda gone anyway) We have a half day in both Juneau and Ketchikan, and a full day in Skagway. I'm a PADI Divemaster and the...

Being a diver with bifocals and bad knees, I have tested my Fusion Tech durability a bunch! Several times I've accidentally found myself in full kit, examining crushed oyster shells at very close range! One memorable post-dive hike found me face down in the street in front of Salty's...

Mathauck... I have a Fusion with the Tech skin and SI Tech valves.. I just took the inflator out and had a look. The thin gasket is on the inside, and my Tech skin is between the 2 halves. The skin rides inside a ridged grommet looking thing and the halves are screwed tight over that. The...

It's not dead at all!!! Check out nwdiveclub.com ...

Baystr.. I've been to Roatan many times and agree with all of the above.. I have done 3 dives/day with West End Divers and it's very doable, as is a 4th nite dive.. Deet is a MUST unless you are a lawyer or an insurance agent, as the bugs don't bite them out of professional courtesy. And...

I'm kinda having the same issue... I just wipe mine down with a towel.. Someone on this board said something about wiping the inside with Sailkote. TS and M and fdog seem to have success with it. Got me to thinking, I will go buy some today and se if it helps in Seattle tomorrow! Steve

I was thinking of doing the opposite... Going to the Mk3 from the 2.. From what weaserman says, should I expect to add 12 lbs of lead?? I'm already at 40 lbs now!! I think I'll stay cold...

Going back for my 3rd vacation with the great people at West End Divers. John and Gary run a great shop. Mickey is the best Divemaster I've been around in my 37 years of diving!! The rest of the gang are welcoming and warm. Good location, good boats, and top notch gear if you need it. I've...

2-3 inches... My wife asks if she can sandwich some material over the area and run it thru the sewing machine... Thanks Doug... Steve

It was the Lycra... Sending it in would be great, but I use it weekly... What about duct tape to get me through this week, and then maybe a local seamstress? Steve

Just ripped my Fusion Tech skin on a nasty bit of metal. (Glad I was in my Fusion, or else I would be wet.) Anybody have a hint on fixing it? Gorilla Tape? Sew? Arc welder? Or should I just tell the spouse it's non repairable and I need to buy the Bullit skin? Thanks gang

I noticed upon surfacing after every dive last week up in the Browning Pass BC area I had a big ball of fairly bright orange mucus that I expectorated. Not to get too gross, but it was kind of "airy", too. Any thoughts or experience? Thanks

Mattboy.. Thanks for that. In my 36 years of on and off diving I would have never thought of that. You are truly brilliant.

I just bought a Bare Blackwing, and with only 2 dives on it, I love it. I looked at them all and for the money I bought the Bare. Couldn't find out much on them because they are new. Really comfortable.

Thanks everyone for the tips... Did the freshwater/mouthwash rinse, and will make that a habit.

Finally bought a bcd last Friday, after renting for a long time (ie.. wife okayed purchase). The last one I owned was a horsecollar with a pic of Jacques on the front (yeah, I'm old). While cleaning I pushed the deflate and inhaled on the oral inflater, and got a lungful of Puget Sound. Is...

Looking at a Bare Blackwing... Anybody have one? Strapped it on today and was impressed with the padding/comfort.. I'll dive it with a Fusion...
