    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?

    Buoyancy question

    As some of you already know, I did not own or use a BC or wetsuit until about 3 years ago. I was finally dragged, kicking and screaming, into modern style diving and bought a 3mm wetsuit and a couple of BCs (a jacket and a horse collar). Now, when I was diving without a wetsuit or BC, I used no...

    Dubai Bound

    Unless things change, I will be in Dubai from March 29 to April 4. I'll be stopping there on my way to Bangladesh. I'm looking at doing some diving while I'm there. Al Boom Diving is just a few blocks from my hotel, so I'll probably check in there. Any suggestions as to some nice dive sites to see?

    Replacing burst disc

    I have several old-style, single post US Divers manifolds and I want to replace the burst discs on one. They use the three piece type and about all I can find are the one piece type. My question is, can I replace the 3/8" three piece type with a 3/8" one piece type burst disc? I ask this...
