Wish I could, heading south that weekend. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Train in the environment that you normally dive.

I wear a DUI size 8 with a regular size Hollis F1. I did have to adjust the spring strap to the smaller notch.

KISS.. Keep it simple. One of the reasons why the shearwater is so rock solid is that it is not loaded up with extras. If you want a compass buy a compass, don't mess with life support..

You are better off contacting them directly. Chances are they will tell you that the shortcomings of the device are your fault. I found their customer service less than friendly or helpful. Sent from my MB886 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2

That seems pretty high, of course ever area is different and there is no info on what is included. I know our shop charges $333 which includes materials, gear rental and c-card, student is responsible for quarry fees. I am not a fan of any shop that requires you to buy gear for open water, as...

I clip the 80 on a line, because the 40 is lighter. Why have all that weight swinging around on a pitching deck? The only time the 40 is used is to retrieve my bottle and redundancy if needed. We are talking about recreational diving with a one tank restriction. Honestly it does not need to be...

I'll admit SM on a larger boat is a pain in the arse, and I agree with Wookie that a diver walking the deck with two poorly rigged bottle is a hazard for both divers and crews.. If you are diving recreationally, not sure why you adopted SM, there is no reason why you can't dive with a single...

LQ are notorious for battery issues, bought one and it rarely ever saw the water due to issues.. If you are looking for reliability go with the Shearwater...

I have a Waterproof "Combat" Semidry and it has been a great suit. I usually only get wet up to my elbow, the core dry during normal diving. The only exception is if I am with students, in the training environment I am twisting my head around more than just diving for myself.. I commonly dive...

I am all about redundancy even while conducting recreational dives. I have had couple of instances where having a backup computer meant that I could continue to dive rather than calling off diving during a trip. If you can get the same algorithm that is great, otherwise if your backup is less...

Actually Grand and Carwash are connected so part of the same system.. Both have a halocline, but they historically have been pretty thin. The last year or so since construction many of the systems are seeing more "milkyness".. The Grand Cenote is lower in elevation that Carwash and closer to...

Dude, chill. With an attitude like that I can understand why they didn't want your business. Sent from my MB886 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2

Chicago area it is about $900 with books, you would cover the cost of gas and charters.. You are talking about 5 days of training, I think it is fair to budget $200 a day for technical training...

Why not support your local dive shop?

Cave or Cavern? Not sure what you are certified for.. I have dove both systems in and beyond the light zone, and appreciate the them for what they are. If you are recreational and want a cool dive with lots of light rays peaking thru for cool effects then Chac Mool, if you want a little more...

The draw for March was the chance to get some quality images of the hammerhead sharks...

I may need to think about a plan b, I know the charter this weekend was blown out.. We fly out of Chicago early on a Friday morning, from what I understand they make the call around 1pm if it is a go / no go. Would hate to get down there, and having to pay to get 50lbs + gear to be stuck on...

Making my first trip down to the Flower Garden Banks aboard the Fling next month. Sounds like the temps range from mid 60s to low 70s that time of year. Was thinking about bringing the drysuit, is this overkill? What is the "norm" down there?
