    VDH Phoenix HPR mod by James79

    I happen to have a late '50s DA Aquamaster with Phoenix nozzle, HPR second stage, duckbill eliminator, silicone hoses and mouthpiece and new design diaphragm., if you are interested. It needs nothing but a standard service checkup and it's ready to go.

    Zeagle Stiletto vs. ScubaPro LikeHawk

    I have the Litehawk and I use it as my primary BC. It is light weight and is as comfortable, to me, as the simple non BC backpacks I used for many years. I tend to even forget I'm wearing it after a few minutes in the water.

    Need advice for Roatan trip, Spring 2019

    I checked out West End Divers. Looks like a good op. They offer stay and dive packages for $500 per person. Forgive my ignorance in such matters, but is this per night or for the whole 7 days?

    Hey, guys, My wife and I want to dive Roatan in April or May, 2019. We need advice on good, economical places to staay and dive. We don't want to go too cheap, but money is a bit tight.

    Swim fins for scuba?

    I still dive with the old style oval mask. Never seemed uncomfortable to me.

    I have a 1959 DA Aquamaster with all the same upgrades. I love that old regulator. I had it out today, in fact.

    Diving Without BCD

    As some of the other members here are aware, I began diving way back in 1965 at the age of eleven. We did not have BCs then and compensated by knowing exactly how much weight to use. First thing I would suggest is to get in a shallow pool with just fins, mask and snorkel. If you are a floater...

    TSandM -- Lynne Flaherty

    I have been away from the board for awhile and I was dismayed and saddened to learn of Lynne's passing. If I may ask, where was she diving at the time?

    How Can I Stop Blisters From Forming On My Toes?

    OK, so I bought some Beefy Socks. I finally got a chance to dive with them over this past weekend. They worked! No blisters, even when using my favorite Jet Fins! Thanks for the advice!

    How Can I Stop Blisters From Forming On My Toes?

    No, I am not currently using Lycra socks. I did, however, order a pair of XS SCUBA Beefy Socks to try the next time I dive.

    How Can I Stop Blisters From Forming On My Toes?

    Over the past few years, I have developed hammer toe on both feet. The knuckles of my toes rub the inside of full foot fins and the inside of boots when I'm using open heel fins. Does anyone have suggestions as to what I can do to prevent this?
