    HOG Wing

    That rig from Diver's Supply is exactly what I have. It is one of the best deals on the internet. I got it with the SS BP and the 2-in crotch strap. The BP is fine, but it actually weighs a bit under 6 pounds. Mine is about 5.5. I got my cam bands and screws elsewhere. I hadn't seen it on...

    Maui dive dilemma!

    If I were you I'd do a morning boat dive on Molokini or Lanai (both great) followed by a night shore dive with Shaka Doug.

    Maui Dive Report with Shaka Doug

    I went out with Shaka Doug a couple a weeks ago. He's a great guide. Dude knows those reefs better than I know my living room.

    Dove the Gill or used Cape Fear Dive Center?

    Very good crew and boat. I dove the Hyde with them last summer and had a blast. I'm planning to go out with them again sometime this summer.

    Please be aware before you enter!

    This reflects poorly on NAUI. Bad business.

    Oceanic VEO180 or some inexpensive computer.

    I am quite happy with my 180. For $200 I'd say it is a fantastic bargain.

    NC wrecks for new OW divers?

    Wilmington has the Hyde, Markham, and the tugs (Stone and Pocahontas) which are all fun dives that are good for new divers, especially the Hyde. There's also the Liberty Ship, but the others are better. You can read up on the area wrecks here. Aquatic Safaris and Cape Fear Dive Center both run...

    Does your throat get really dry when you dive?

    I've never used the biofilter, but they do say it helps with dry mouth. biofilter

    First BP/W dive

    This package from Diver's Supply with the steel BP, DR crotch strap & cam bands. That price for a steel backplate and wing really is a ridiculous deal.

    First BP/W dive

    I took my new BP/W setup out today for the first time, and I must say that I am very pleased. It's hard to explain, but I guess the best thing that I can say is that I hardly noticed it while diving. The jacket BCD's that I have used always had a way of making me aware of their presence. Anyway...

    what to do for my 100th dive???

    There's only one way I know to top a nude dive. You'll need a friend. A close friend, if you know what I mean...

    Crotch Strap Issues

    Got it... thanks! I don't think I would have been able to sleep tonight if I didn't get that thing attached before I went to bed.

    Crotch Strap Issues

    I have a 2" Dive Rite crotch strap, as shown in the picture, but I don't see how it connects to the BP. I think there is supposed to be a keeper that the webbing slides through after it has been run through the slot on the BP, but there isn't one. I don't see a keeper in the picture either. So...

    NC vs SC

    The Hyde/Markham wrecks are great for OW level divers. They are off the Wilmington coast. Cape Fear Dive Center and Aquatic Safaris are both excellent ops that run regular charters there.
