Hi, I live in San Francisco (Potrero Hill) and am always in need of dive buddies. I have been using a brand new Xcel 8/7/6mm wetsuit and haven't had an issue so far. By the time I've suited up and have all my gear in check, I can't wait to jump into the cold water!
Thank you for the advice. To be honest, I did not consider the placement of weight belt in relation to the crotch strap. A very important point indeed.

Thank you all for your feedback! I feel a lot better now knowing that diving a BP/W may not be as difficult as I thought. I've already been in touch with Tobin from DSS and he's given me his profession opinion on what rig would work best for diving around here. That being said, I will...

Sorry, I have one more question. Does anyone use the PDIS function? Does this...
Thank you for the advice, everyone! Whew, I'm glad to hear my 2G is set up properly. I will definitely look into getting the iRDA cable.
pragmatic: I was diving in an area where visibility wasn't ideal (3 ft.), we only got to about 25 ft. deep or so. For the no-fly icon to appear, does my...
Hi all,
I am very, very sorry for this silly question... I am a newly certified diver (6 dives!) and just bought an Aladin 2G dive computer. I have read the manual, but I am still unsure about my settings. I will not be doing any high altitude diving, will be using 21% O2, and will be doing...
