I searched for this however I found a thread from 2013 so I thought it may be a bit dated and wanted to create a new one. I have had my Z2s now for 2 years and wanted to get it serviced before I go on my next trip in a couple months. I have never had it serviced yet so this is my first time...

I went on my 5th and 6th post-certification dives 2 days ago here in Turks and Caicos. They were my first "real" dives after certification that I went to any depth. My prior 4 were in the Keys to depths of like 25' max. When I got certified I did my OW and AOW at the same time, so total dives...

I'm going to be using my own full setup for the first time this weekend down in the Keys. It's a BP/W setup and I've tested it out completely in the pool, wetsuit included. Even with my wetsuit on and around 500psi left in the tank, I'm still negatively buoyant without any weight. I have to...

Tonight on Nat Geo at 9pm ET for those interested. That whole story fascinated me.

I just got one of those travel hangers for BCD's and I have my BP/W connected with the cam bands and hanging on it for storage purposes. I also have a bag that I keep my regulators in but it keeps them somewhat "coiled up" to fit in there. I'm wondering if storing them in the bag and hanging...

I got my first AI transmitter this past weekend and tested it out last night. I noticed that the PSI reading was about 100 - 150 less than my actual SPG appeared to be showing. Is this normal? I also as having issues pairing it. It paired perfectly fine as the instructions said the first...

I've recently completed the purchase of all of my gear and I am looking for suggestions for a piece of rolling luggage that can carry my gear that will meet most carry-on regulations. I am looking to put everything but fins in it as they are too large and always go in my checked in luggage. I...

I'm just about to purchase my first regular set, probably tonight, and I am uncertain about what I want to do as far as hoses and routing goes for my primary and octo regulators. I plan on getting an Atomic Z2 sealed in the blue color for my first/second (primary) setup. I'm also planning on...

I am still uncertain about the wing that I am going to purchase so I was just wondering if anyone had any comparison pics of some specific wings so I could see what the actual size difference is. I am primarily looking at the VDH 18, 23, and 35, but also at the DGX S1 (30). While I plan on...

I've been doing so much research and asking so many questions on here, and been talking to some people on PM's and have had invaluable information, but I thought I'd just start a thread here to see what you with more experience say. I've pretty much narrowed down my wing choices (I think) to...

So I'm newly certified of OW/AOW and on my dives I used jacket style BCD. That was back in March and then last month I did my first dives that were for fun and rented a jacket style BCD and had a great time with it. Lifetime I have a total of 15 dives all with rental jacket style BCDs. And...

I'm newly certified as of this past March and have done 2 dives since then after my OW/AOW dives. It was on a vacation to the Keys and I did 2 1 tank dives one morning. I've decided I want to get my own gear at this point. I'm also primarily going to be just doing vacation diving down in warm...

I purchased a Vyper Novo from here last year and am now interested in the transmitter. Shoot me a PM if you have one you want to sell. Thanks. EDIT: I have found one, thanks!

I've decided that I want to buy my own regulator kit and BCD. Those are the only 2 pieces of gear that I don't own yet and have decided after my first pre-certification dives that I want my own gear lol. I already have a computer that is capable of AI. Obviously my computer has depth on it as...

The next step I want to take is the Nitrox course. The place I did my OW class it is listed as $125 on the website. However I contacted them and that doesn't include the materials cost or the certification/taxes cost, which adds another $129 + $46, for a total of $300 on the dot. This one...

I'm going to the Keys on Thursday and we're staying in Marathon. Even though the reason for this trip was for Mother's Day, I've gotten the OK from the wife go to diving. I'm planning on trying to do a 2 tank dive trip Saturday morning. Quick back story is that I got certified in March with...

I am filling out my forms and now I need to take the picture and it's telling me that I need to take a pic of my head and shoulders and to be approximately 1 3/4" by 2 1/4". So I took a picture and used Gimp to crop out a rectangle that size, and that aspect ratio just looks odd and it shows...

I am just curious for those of you who have extensive experience with dive computers. Which type of strap do you prefer and why? I'm going back to GC in a few days to complete my OW (and AOW) certification after getting sick back in December in GC while trying to get it and not being able to...

I'm just wondering when those of you who primarily dive on vacations in warm water, who have bought your own gear, decided it was time to do so. I'm not talking about fins/snorkel/mask/booties but more so BCD and regulator. I'm still not even OW certified yet (thread on here already about how...

I purchased a Suunto Vyper Novo second hand from someone who only had about 8 dives on it and I used it for the first time during my first 3 OW certification dives. I noticed that the depth it was reading was completely different/wrong compared to the depth gauge that was on next to my SPG...
