    How I got Wife to switch to a BP/W

    My wife has been diving a Zeagle Lazer BC in cold water and a Zeagle Scout BC in the tropics for years. At some point she noticed how much smaller my gear packed up and said "why don't I have one of those". She also noticed how much less lead you have to pack on to a BPW. It wasn't cheap but I...

    Pinnacle Tempo XT 3mm

    Anyone tried a Pinnacle Tempo XT 3mm? Been looking at this 3mm because it seems to be the closest thing I can find that meets all my measurements( in size Large). Also, does the Merino lining help or hinder during donning and doffing?

    What to expect in April?

    Just booked our trip to Coz! We couldn't do Feb/March this year :depressed: I'll probably book diving soon. We used Tres Pelicanos last year and had a blast. I've never been in April, other than the water being a few degrees warmer than in February, is there anything I should be aware of...

    Lavacore Review

    LavaCore Review On a recent trip to Cozumel (Feb 1-8, 2014) I decided to see if Lavacore products were worth ditching the wetsuit for.

    FF Pro's with low-cut shoes

    I bought my FF Pro's big enough to use with combat boots (XXL w/Bungee) and I really want to take them on vacation with me. With the padded insert attached, I can use my 7mm dive boots with them comfortably. Problem is, I don't want to lug 7mm dive boots on my vacation. Has anyone used FF's...

    Boots for Wide Feet

    I'm looking for a new pair of 7mm neoprene boots. I'm a size 11, but I have wider feet apparently. I ordered a pair of Henderson Hyperstretch 7mm (no zipper) boots and they were extremely narrow. Sold them to my buddy. I went back to using my old smelly H2 Odyssey 5mm zipper boots which are...

    Not sure if anyone has posted links to other materials, but I thought I would share. Supply Captain It's not the most optimal size (5/32) that a others like but it's much cheaper than paying $.75 per foot. FWIW, I bought green 1/8 and 3/16 black from them a couple of years ago and I...
