    What Gear to purchase first?

    Save your money until you can buy new gear that fits and is of high quality. Use the schools gear until then. The problem with the regs breathing hard could be lack of regular servicing. Used gear is just that used. If you feel the need to buy used - be sure to have it serviced and checked out...

    Solo dives

    I have just recently started posting on this site. I'm not looking to pick a fight. I'm looking for intellegent conversation with Divers. I'm not looking for Chest Beating - I get enough of that with the divers that come into the shop I associate with. We are SSI and teach Safety first and...

    Solo dives

    I have to respond to Grateful Diver - life is short - break the rule? - I believe training is essential in scuba - how much depends on the person. To tell a novice that they need more time under water and end your lecture with your Quote baffles me. No disrespect but you have enough dives to...

    Solo dives

    Solo diving is not for divers that have any questions about your ability and your equipment. As in all diving - training on a regular basis is essential. Bottom line is are you comfortable with yourself and do you feel you have adequate training to be under water alone. I truly enjoy my solo...

    Spear Guns

    I'm intrested in the Sea Assassin spearguns. Has anyone used one and are they quiet? How do they compare to teak guns? They are capable of carring an extra free spear - what do you think? I hunt the kelp beds in Southern California with scuba.
