I have no problem with a decent or decent rate at 12 lbs with a 2-3 wet suite and a full 80cf aluminum tank. My question is at depth in an emergency situation I can only ditch a total of 4 lbs out 12 lbs is this adequate?

I have a Sea Quest Black Diamond BC with (2) releasable weight intergraded pockets in the front and (2) non-releasable buckled rear weight pockets. I need 12 lbs of weight in salt water. In order not to float face down at the surface I put (2) 4 lbs weights in the rear pockets. This only allows...

Will some please tell me what DIR is in the diving world?

We actually snorkeled near Tektite last year. We hiked along Great Lameshur to a bay called Donkey Bight, then snorkeled out and around the point towards the Tektite Project, but we didn't quite make it that far. It was quite a swim from the beach!! Would definately love to revisit on a dive...

Thanks, Beachman. We've actually swapped emails with Brad and were impressed with his operation. The only disadvantage to using him is we'll be staying on the Cruz Bay side, but it just might be worth the trek over to Coral Bay. Do you know if Devers Bay is part of the National Park? I...

I am using a wrist computer with air integration. I need a compass and would like to have a analog back up pressure gauge. Any recommendations for this? What is the general consensus on IST mini pressure gauges.

I will be traveling to USVI (St. John) end of June for 10 days. I want to know if there is any good location that would be recommended for shore diving. :confused: We will also do one or two boat dives most likely ½ day trips. Are there any suggestions for must do/don’t miss boat dives...

Great board has a wealth of information. We just got back from our weekend open water Scuba Certification in Destin, Florida. It was a miserable weekend with rain, cold water in Vortex Springs and rough seas, low visibility and strong currents in the Gulf of Mexico. The company was good as we...

Just completed OW this weekend and I can tell you after getting hit in the chin and upside of the head for 2 days a DRY SNORKEL is for snorkeling. My wife and I purchased dry snorkels for diving with the intent of using then both diving and snorkeling. “NOT” Bigger is not always better.

RICHinNC, Are you saying the airlines have a additional charge for dive gear even if it’s not over or exceeding any weight/size limits? Do you know what the charge is and who determines if you are going to be charged? Thanks for the information.

I would like to know the pros and cons regarding the use of a gear bag designed specifically for scuba gear vs. a standard duffel bag? Most of our diving will require us to travel via commercial airliner. If anyone has recommendations for a dive bag preferably for (2) sets of equipment (BC...

Our next dive trip will be to the Caribbean requiring us to travel via commercial airliner. What items are recommended to be carried on? As a note I will also be traveling with (2) two sets of gear (1) one Wife and (3) three Kids. I will definitely carry on our computers and Kids. Any input...

Julie, what type of modifying did your Suit require?

Thanks Julie, I will try my LDS.

Anyone knows the possibility of modifying a Body Glove Thermolator COMP 3/2mm wetsuit. The wetsuit fits fine BUT it’s too tight around my neck. I tried on other sizes and found them to be the same on my neck. Suit INFO: ·Future Flex: Super soft, super flexible, velcro resistant material...

Thanks to ALL for the information!!

I am considering purchasing a Sea-Quest Black Diamond BC with alternate air source. Does anyone have first hand experience with this BC.

Anyone place recent orders with leisurePro. If so I would like to know how quickly they ship orders?

When using a wrist computer with air integrated is it a good idea to have an additional analog pressure gauge (back up) if so please recommend some?
