    What can cause fins to get damaged like this?

    How old are they? I see a lot of old equipment people bring into my store that is dry rotted. Sun over the years takes it toll. In either case, time for some new ones.

    Cootwo settings

    Good luck with these fools Adam. I have 4 in my dive store, paid for upgrades so my customers wouldn't be getting expired units, no contact from the company in months of trying to get some sort of answer or the sensors upgrades I paid for. Ready to fill a claim with my bank to get my money back...

    Cootwo settings

    DiveNav and Cootwo are earning my disrespect rapidly. For months I have tried to get our ORIGINAL Cootwo's (four of them) upgraded. Over month ago, I paid for the upgrades and never heard back from the company. Their published phone number seems to be dead and is a overseas number, emails to...

    Scubapro Hydros Pro BCD - Monoprene attachment hole ripped

    I am a dealer and Instructor. Have roughly 100 dives on one of the originals and just discover my left shoulder strap tore loose at the hinge. Inspected the right one and it is in processing of tearing. Will call ScubaPro tomorrow for replacements. This is a issue as we teach students to confirm...

    Sueno del Mar Dive boat sinks

    I am a PADI Master Instructor. While Ray still owns the property, the dive shop is now owned and operated by a PADI Platinum Course Director with IDC Staff and MSDT Instructors. In April this year my wife and I spent four days of diving with them. Last week I took a dive master candidate down...

    Hydrostatic Testing Facility

    If they aren't on the DOT list, make sure to "see" their DOT permit. Each person performing the hydro must have their own permit.

    Is the Eddy-current test REALLY necessary?

    We do hydro testing at our facility, we are a PSI Premier Facility. The law is governed by DOT, the rules by whomever you are getting your tanks taken care of. The law is that ONLY 6351's need to have Eddy Current testing. All the newer tanks are just a visual following DOT procedures for them...

    Autistic kids can dive?

    My daughter is a diver and a Special Ed Teacher for a private company specializing in autistic children. I am a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer and IDC Staff Instructor. First step is getting the medical doctor to sign the medical form clearing the child's participation. If that is done, then I...

    How prestigious is the PADI divemaster rating?

    I earn my first c-card back before padi existed and still am proud to carry that card issued by the YMCA. I am now a padi master diver. I have seen padi instructors I would not dive with and the constant dumbing down the requirements for advancement is wrong. It does seem to be about the money...

    Sea & Sea DX-1200 HD for first time purchaser?

    I've had mine since they first came out and started this thread I think. The camera had an issue when it first came out and I got them to fix it. I use a Nikon D5000 wit macro lens in Ikelite housing with two strobes. I carry my 1200HD in my BC gear pocket to get in tight sometimes (like the...

    Sea & Sea DX-1200 HD for first time purchaser?

    I made the original post on this problem back in early June. Sent the camera (at my expense) to the service rep for repair. Seems to work ok (above water) now, but will have to wait until next drive trip to see for sure. They never said what they did to repair the camera. Meanwhile, bought a new...

    Sea & Sea DX-1200 HD for first time purchaser?

    Yes, great top-side pictures and underwater pictures. However, in a week on diving with the camera last week I had major problems with it freezing up each dive and the only way to fix it is to surface, dry it off, take it out of the housing, and then do a "hot reboot" with the battery pulled for...

    Sea & Sea DX-1200 HD for first time purchaser?

    OK folks, I bought the new HD1200 Apr 2009 in prep for dive trip with PADI Sport Diver Mag editor Ty Sawyer and crew to Tobago, Speyside for photo assignment. The camera takes great top-side pic and videos. I had tried it out prior to this trip in local 80 ft depth water and had problems with...
