    Regulator checklist and inspection

    Thanks very much for this awesome resource! I have a small question on cracking pressure: Do you mean when front of the reg (purge button) is 1 1/2 inches deep? Or the intake hose / adjustment knob? Presumably not the mouthpiece? Thanks!

    Good, non-flaky dive computer?

    Pretty sure... max depth was about 20 feet, and it wasn't an incredibly long dive. In any case, violation or no, it shouldn't be telling me false depths. It certainly shouldn't be telling me that I'm under 4 feet of water when I'm sitting in my hotel room. (Unless the hotel has a flooding...

    Good, non-flaky dive computer?

    Are there any good, non-flaky dive computers out there for recreational divers? Hope that doesn't sound too cynical, but I've been through a bunch of them, and I'm wondering. Oceanics looked good to me, so I got a GEO. Well, the battery life - even non-diving - was a few days, so I got it...

    Oceanic GEO eating batteries!!!!

    Well with many more dives on it, I think I can safely say it's fixed! Yay! My new Atom 2, on the other hand, is a different matter... I'm on my third one. And AGAIN huge thanks to Mike at Dive Right In, who got Oceanic to whizz a computer to me super-fast and basically saved my dive trip...

    Slurp gun for Lion Fish??

    Get a blade from one of these: Potato Chipper Mount it so it slides in and out of the slurp gun barrel. Slide out -- slurp the fish in. Slide in -- eject lionfish fries.

    How to fix your "bubbling" inflator...

    Scott, thanks for the info. I have a Stiletto and had the bubbling problem. I had a go at your suggested fix; while there was a little flashing in the o-ring grooves, the problem seemed to be more of a "step" where the mold halves were misaligned. I've worked the step down smooth, we'll see...

    PADI AOW Started; Now What?

    You're doing the same 5 as me... ;-) The PADI terminology can be a little confusing. Their philosophy seems to be to divide the whole program into baby steps, to make it as accessible as possible; this approach has pros and cons. As BlueSparkle said, it helps when you realize that AOW is...

    Weight Distribution on Stiletto

    Diving in the Keys last month with no wetsuit (yay!), I found I needed 5lbs in each main side pocket, and 2 lbs on each side of the upper cam band -- that seemed to work great for me. I tried moving the Zeagle pouches up to the top band just to experiment, but I found they weren't too well...

    Cover UP!!

    Why do Americans always assume that anything that happens anywhere is to do with them? ... only in America Yup ... only in the prudish USA ... ... America's fear of the female body ... You're all wrong... Chessington (and it's sea life centre, note spelling) is in the UK, not America...

    need help finding a dive watch

    Wind N Sea ... it's out of your price range, but you might still consider a real dive computer, like an Oceanic Geo. Now that the Geo 2 is out, the original Geo can be got at a pretty decent price, and it's a pretty good computer that can also be worn as a watch. The advantage is that if you...

    Great week in Marathon

    Thought I'd make a quick post -- as we're packing... :( -- about the great week we just had in Marathon. We were in Key Largo in December to get certified, and racked up 9 dives then in so-so conditions, so it was great to come back and dive without wetsuits! Actually we got here 2 weeks ago...

    Oceanic GEO eating batteries!!!!

    Well I lost the receipt -- I SWORE it was in the pouch where I kept all my cards and stuff, but no. So then I had problems returning it, contemplated giving up... anyhow, Mike at Dive Right In Scuba put me on to Ron at Oceanic, who took it back for a fix and turned it around very quickly. (It...

    Oceanic GEO eating batteries!!!!

    Well, my third battery -- a Sony -- has now died, after 16 days. So, to summarize: The original battery died after 4 weeks (sorry, didn't get the make) A Radio Shack battery lasted 2 days A new Sony battery lasted 16 days. This is all without diving -- i.e. the computer has been in watch...

    Oceanic GEO eating batteries!!!!

    Same issue here -- got an Oceanic Geo on Jan 1, haven't actually dove with it yet, battery died a week ago. Replaced with a Radio Shack battery, that lasted 2 days -- literally!!! No diving, no backlight use. Just ordered a Sony battery to see what that will do -- I'll keep you posted.
