I was just sitting here plotting my diving for the year. I suspect that I'm not going to hit as many dives this year as I did last year (~125). How many dives do you usually get in every year? Kristopher

Hello, I am having a hard time downloading my logs from my DG03. I connect the cable, then go to the dive log section of the software user interface. I click the + sign to download, choose download from DC, pick my DC. I click the test button and it shows that the interface is found. I make...

I just ran into something weird. I got a new pair of Turtle fins to go with my new drysuit and when I went to change the straps for spring straps I found something I didn't expect to see....pins instead of screws. Has anyone else ever ran into that? I never have. The other pairs I've seen have...

Never mind

I already posted looking for buddies in the Venice fossil divers, but figured I would try up a level as well. I'll be in Venice beach on 1/8/13 and would greatly love to find a buddy to dive with while there. Kristopher

Hello all! I'm going to be in Venice on 1/8/13. Unfortunately I can only stay there one day before heading down to the keys for a friends wedding. I really, really want to do a shark tooth dive while I'm there. I contacted Megaladon charters about going out with them, but it doesn't sound too...

Just want to let you guys know that I got my DG03 that I won in your Facebook contest in the mail the other day. Absolutely love it. I'm looking forward to getting it in the water this weekend and will let you know about it. Thanks again! Kristopher

I won a DG03 in a contest last week and haven't had a chance to look closely at one yet. Is the faceplate user replaceable, or are there screen covers available out there? I do a lot of lobstering and tear the faceplates on my computer up on a regular basis. Kristopher

I just bought an ikelite housing and strobe for my canon point and shoot camera and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a more inexpensive hard case alternative than the Pelican cases? I like them a lot, but they're a little pricy. Thanks, Kristopher

I was wondering if anyone had a copy of the TDI cavern standards in word or PDF format? I.E. what a student is expected to know and demonstrate in order to pass the class. I'm taking it in two weeks and would like to get a better idea. Thanks, Kristopher

Hello all, I'm interested in solo diving, mostly from an academic perspective at this point. Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent book that discusses this subject well? I know that Robert Von Maier has his Solo Diving book, but it has decidedly mixed reviews in a couple of...

Hello all, I tend to collect minor souvenirs from dives that have great importance to me. These are not plant or animal, but usually something as simple as a smaller rock I find on the bottom that catches my eye. My question is this.....where do those of you who collect any sort of souvenir...

Hello all, I'm planning a trip up to the 1,000 islands area with some friends in a couple of weeks and would like some suggestions for good shore diving spots. We will be staying on the US side in the Alexandria bay area, but would definitely not mind crossing over into CA if there is good...

My wife and I will be in T&C for a few days next month. What are some of the must-do spots there? Does anyone have any suggestions for good dive operators? I would love to do a night dive while I'm there, but it seems that most of the ones I've found will only do one with a group of 6 or more...

I'll be in Providenciales with my wife and a couple of friends in early October and wondered if there is any shore diving available? I plan on doing at least one day of boat diving, but like shore diving as well, if it's available. Does anyone have suggestions for good dive shops/boat...

I found someone's scuba boots at Loblolly cove on Sunday. Let me know the size and make and I'll get them back to you. Kristopher

I was curious if anyone had noticed that solo diving seems to be more accepted in the North East (specifically the New England area)? I'm not sure if it's because there are most lobster hunters here or what, but I've noticed that the shops and boats that I've encountered seem to have a much...

Hello all! My wife and I will be in Arequipa for a week next month for her cousin's wedding and I would like to do at least one day of diving while we are there. I've searched and searched and had no luck finding dive shops in Arequipa. Are there any? Do they speak English, since my...

Dove Back Beach yesterday evening with the Undersea dive society. Went in at 7:22, got max depth of 24 feet and water temp of 52. Did a 42 minute dive. We went in on the left side, which I had never done before and there was almost nothing to see. Sand, seaweed, then sand again. Saw maybe 5...

Hello all! I know this isn't strictly speaking a cave diving question, but I was hoping for a little advice. I am going to be back in Mexico in December and hope to do my cavern certification while there. I have my choice of 3 different certification agencies from the shop that I'm doing it...
