    Zena on a ‘sporty’ surface?

    Been diving with my Zena for 12 years. One of the main reasons I like this BC so well is because it takes about 4 seconds to unzip and slide out of the vest. That has been invaluable countless times for rough water exits. I usually inflate it, slip out and then swim it to the boat tank side...

    Women and Reef Hooks

    If you decide to hook in, don't set hook and then release your full weight all at once onto the hook. Gradually feed out the line to avoid a hard yank that may dislodge it. Also, very high current, cover your reg face with free hand if starts to freeflow.

    How You Picked Your Upcoming Trips?

    Good advice. In 2013 on a couple of trips I couldn't dive several days due to cold/congestion. I set up an appointment with an ENT who recommended the netipot (or a squeeze bottle w/saline). He also recommended drinking lots of water, Nasacort on the flights and each morning before diving, as...

    Zeagle Covert - Need Help Finding Replacement for Broken Side Release Buckle

    Can't locate a replacement side release buckle to match the one on Zeagle Covert (pic attached). The bottom part of the buckle broke when I put the BC with tank on and stood up.

    Problem with Zeagle Covert ~

    Anyone else had problems with the Zeagle Covert BC shoulder gasket leaking? Have threaded it on carefully and finger tightened pretty well but still leaks. Don't want to crank it down and damage it but seems like it shouldn't be leaking.

    opinions...Zeagle Zena, Zeagle Express Tech or Oceanic Biolite...

    Have had my Zena for several years now. I especially like how easy it is to unzip and slide out of it when handing it up at the end of the dive from a small boat.... takes about 4 seconds, no fumbling for buckles. Also, since the BC breaks down so easily it's turned out to be a big plus in...

    Women's experiences on live-aboards

    My first dive trip after certification was with Blackbeards. Will never forget that first giant stride off the side into the blue Caribbean! I look back at it as a good "boot camp" experience to liveaboard diving. Had an excellent buddy and learned some good lessons that have served me well in...
