I just bought a Tektite 400 LS LED light and tried to use it this past weekend. I put in the batteries that they provided with the light, turned it on and it worked. I switched it off, popped it in my BC pocket and off I went. When I got to depth (about 100ft) I pulled it out to use...

So hubby has decided he wants to go to Cuba in December (my choices were Tobago or Utila). We know of one diver friend who has been there several times and he goes to the north side in April/May. I've done a bit of research (and a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!) and that has me...

I know we have a few Tobago residents and/or avid visitors on the board here so if you could please provide some insight... I hear the crime rate in Tobago has gone up in recent years and that tourists are specifically targeted. Most of the articles I've read lump Trinidad and Tobago together...

same as everyone else posting here!! :D

When I tried to see whether a PM I'd sent last week had been viewed yet, I go the following response: diverlady, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you...

fortunately the deer stepped out onto the road several meters ahead of me so I was able to hit the brakes and the horn and avoid a nasty collision! She bolted right across after I hit the horn. Another fortunate thing is that I was going the speed limit although the guy on my butt wasn't...

While perusing the web for divegear (what else??) I noticed that Divesource has a list of their clearance items for this coming Saturday's blowout sale (Nov 1st). Some pretty good deals by the looks of things. What a great time to pick up some good stuff at reduced prices. I hear other...

Has anyone ever tried that tank shrink wrap stuff to personalize your tanks? My LDS pointed it out to me on the weekend as an option to painting my own tanks. Just wondering if it's any good. Diverlady

Has anyone on the Board got this card yet? It sounds difficult but I think I'm up for the challenge!! I haven't located a training agency nearby that offers it yet... fire diving :D :D :D Diverlady

I have a 5ft hose on for my second stage and use a swivel so I can run the hose run under my arm. A couple of weeks ago my swivel started leaking right on the ball part. I took it apart to check the o-ring. It looked fine. I cleaned it and the corresponding surfaces and replaced the ring...

Hi all, I was wondering who all is going for sure on the trip Natasha has generously offered to put together. I'm a maybe myself. I've been looking into flights but it doesn't appear that I can get a direct flight to Coz. What's the SOP to get to Coz from Cancun? (perhaps I should try a...

:balloon: :Birthday: :balloon: All the best to all the birthday boys and girls today! Diverlady

A friend of mine just completed the first of 2 chamber rides this AM. Not good. You learn how dangerous DCS is but when you don't encounter it or know anyone who has, you kind of become a bit complacent about it. It's still there and still a concern but it's not front and centre. Well it...

I got called into an impromptu meeting right after making myself a cup of tea this morning. As my mind wandered away from what my boss was saying, I found myself staring at my tea and noticing that the teabag was neutrally buoyant. Does this mean I need to go diving more or less? Diverlady

Before you start, I did do a search but apart from the museum area, I didn't find much. So, any good shore dives around Kingston? I hear the Brule (sp?) Quarry is undergoing some improvements. Anyone been there lately? How about Odessa Lake? Thanks! Diverlady

I got to dive the Arabia on Sunday!! I've wanted to do that wreck for a couple of years now and finally got the chance. My club had a charter for the weekend with quite a few new divers on board which made the whole situation rather amusing. At first there were 6 of us that were going to...

Has anyone tried to use the macro lens topside? I tried in the Bahamas but the pictures were big blurs. I did remove the lens inside the housing that adjusts for underwater. Any suggestions/thoughts? Diverlady

Does anyone know of a good motorcycle messageboard? I'm looking for one involving touring and camping that would get a lot of visits and discussion about products. thanks! Diverlady

I am considering painting my reel and was wondering what type of paint I should use. It's the basic metal one currently orange. Any suggestions? Thanks, Diverlady

Would you rule out a diver as a buddy upon seeing the person's driving abilities (or lack of)? Here's the story. I recently did a roadtrip for some diving/camping and among those attending the trip and thus, participating in the convoy there, were some divers I had never met (they were...
