I would be interested in the Kydex plate.

If the sale to Jim falls through, and it's a medium. I'll take it! thanks, Colin

Hello all, I will be heading to Tulum at the end of the month, and while it won't be a dive vacation, I would like to get a few cenote dives in. Does anyone have a recommendation for a dive op that they like, along with any particular cenotes I should try to see? I've done a couple of guided...

Thanks for the advice. I'll focus on dive centers on Korcula. I'll be flying into Dubrovnik. Is it worht staying a day or 2 there for diving? Or stopping on the way to Korcula? Maybe in Zuljana or Ston? Thanks again for your help, Colin

Hello, I will be visiting Croatia in July, and I'm hoping to get some good diving in while I'm there. I'll be staying near Orebic (actually in the village of Borje) visiting family for about 2 weeks. Is there good diving near there, and if so, whom should I dive with. Is there somewhere else I...

My LDS, New England Dive Center, just started carrying those, and they have an online store. Big Blue Fluorodiving Kit CF250 CF900 AL250 AL900 : Lights Give them a call if you have questions, (203) 284-1880. Colin

I have the Yellow Tip F1's, and I love them, but I'm thinking about trying the f2's for travel, and I'm wondering if there are any plans to produce a yellow tip version. Is there any chance that this will be happening? thanks, Colin

Rich Morin's in Glens Falls, NY offers what I think is a great ice class. index I took it a couple of years ago and have helped out as a safety diver a couple of times since. There's an evening of academics, usually Friday, and then setup and 2 dives on Saturday and 1 dive and packing up on...

I'd recommend posting this in the Dive NY subforum as well. A lot of folks there head to Dutch regularly. Dive NY

I found that my first mask, which fit great in the store, leaked when I smiled. Since I happen to enjoy most of my dives, I ended up replacing that mask. When trying on replacements, I made sure to smile in the store to check that the seal would stay tight if I was enjoying the dive. The new...

I'd be interested in getting in some local dives and meeting some new dive buddies, so count me in.

I've recently moved to New Haven, and would be up for shore dives if you know of any near by, or even a drive out Rhode Island or other closeish options. Colinb

We practiced in water rescue breaths with and without masks in my rescue class, and the mask makes it much easier. Without the mask I found it almost impossible to give effective breaths. With it, I can give effective breaths and strip gear/tow the victim. The shop I dive with requires all DMs...

Welcome back! I'd recommend checking out your local forum, Dive NY. It's a good spot to find buddies and dive site info. Colin

Sidemount seems to be growing in popularity for doubles diving (at least based on the number of posts I see here), and there are BC's that can handle doubles. What are you looking for?

You can order SS nuts (and bolts or threaded rod) in lots of sizes from McMaster Carr McMaster-Carr UPS ground arrives next day in most areas since they have warehouses all over. -Colin

I think any mask sold at a dive shop will be fine from a build quality standpoint. You only really need to avoid sporting goods store type stuff. As I see it you should worry about fit, not brand. Find something that is comfortable and provides a good seal. Beyond that, you're into personal...

I would recommend the Seahawk over the Knighthawk for an instructor because of the pockets. I dive a Knighthawk, and while I'm generally very happy with it, the pockets are lousy. Some of the instructors at my LDS dive the Seahawk, and they say the pockets work well for them while instructing...

One shop I talked to recommended going out to Catalina since the conditions there should still be nice even if there's rain and since I'll be driving by there. Does this make sense to folks, and if so, is there a dive op you'd recommend? thanks, Colin
