If you really want to see someone plow the reef watch Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) in an old Se Hunt episode. Never even thot about it until I started diving and paying attention to buoyancy control. I know the gear was a harness , weights , and no BCD but still geez !!!

So no problem with the Canon housing ? Was leaning toward the Ikelite housing becasue I didnt trust it . How are the controls accessibility on the Canon housing ?

My 2 cents worth ... Well, it is now March. Go enjoy the Bahamas but I would not dive if I were in your shoes . Sorry but it sounds as if you need more pool time. The situation could have been handled better by your instructor, helper, or both but also sounds as if you are not ready for...

I tend to agree with most of the advice here. Put the camera away for now. Get used to your gear . What I would suggest differently is that you look for a dive buddy with experience and not just another novice. Your instructor would probably go out with you if he/she are local and you...

For those among you who wish to beat the "off a cruise ship" [dead horse] point further ... I dive a cruise ship all the time but rarely use the operators offered by the cruise ship . I could use what they offer - it would make no difference except in the $s left in my pocket. Will let you...

Problems can happen with any combination but diver pairs are best . Decide who will lead and follow then switch the next dive or agree on a middive switch . Have encountered several serious problems when diving in 3s so I avoid it . When in large groups , even when following a...

Here is an excerpt from my will .. "If I die, while scuba diving . No one , remotely or directly involved , is to be sued - no monetary benefit of any kind is to be gained by my death except for the normal expected collection of insurance benefits . I chose to scuba dive because it provided...

Forget $s here ... I want the best setup for the Canon G9 with Ikelite housing. What would be the best strobe setup ?

I went the opposite way guys - had a VTPro then went to a Pro Plus 2 [which I love]. The downsides of hoseless are battery maintenance and signal interruption . Make sure you keep spare batteries for the transmitter because you will need them. Anyone who says batteries last a year doesnt...

Contemplating doing Divemaster training. Just how much really is the liability insurance per year ? Who sells this insurance ? No opinions please. Am interested in answers from DMs who actually maintain this insurance. Thank you, dman1959

Another option ....tie/connect your buoy line to the spear gun then follow the spear gun line to the bottom and free it or cut it. Then follow the spear gun line back up through a slooooow safe ascent. I admit this impossible if your already at 350 psi. I adhere to a 10 X depth = minimum...

First of all, condolences to the families and the one diver left behind. Am sure he is thinking what could have been done differently. If anyone knows the investigator it would be beneficial for all of us here to know the results of his/her investigation. Am just hoping informed divers...
