Valid point. I don't NEED an agent. But for my situation I would LIKE an agent. I am interested in organizing small group travel for a LDS in the NorthWest (Idaho). Travel can be brutal when you don't live near a major airline hub. My reasoning for an agent is to find someone who might be able...

Attempting to resurrect an old thread here, I too only seem to find "agents" that can only offer pre-selected, pre-dated "packages" and are either unaware, or uninterested, in any other alternatives. Does anyone know of someone in the industry that really works for the client? Someone who can...

Thanks for taking the time to read/reply, I have done a "cut & paste" of the majority of my previous post (nothing implicating you) to the A.A. "Contact Us" page (3/20/13). I will let you know what/if/when they reply. Thank you for continuing to remain here and respond to ALL of our questions...

Wow... that was kinda rough. Without the hostilities; could you please educate me with facts on the hazards/dangers of using a low ("less than" {<}5 miliwatt{mw}) laser pointer? I have always entered the water with a philosophy of "take nothing but pictures (and me with no camera...), leave...

I know this is an older thread but, in case anyone researching UW laser pointers stumbles across it as I did, here is another possibility: Beamshot Tactical GreenBeam Waterproof Laser Pointer FREE S&H GB50, GB100. Beamshot Laser Sights. I have not used one as yet so this is in no way an...

Hi RonR, I find myself again in need of your assistance. First let me start by saying I am pretty sure this is caused by operator error :shakehead:. Using a pc laptop running windows 7; I tried to update the firmware on my Cobalt. I have used this laptop previously (successfully) to do this to...

Hi Dr. Bill, Because the problem seems to stem from a lack of a natural predator in the Atlantic/Caribbean; what are the thoughts of the scientific community concerning the introduction of one? I am guessing there is probably a potential "snowballing" effect of controlling the predator that...

Hi Ron, Do you have photos of this rigging and hose routing (or would this person be willing to provide you with some)? Sounds pretty slick but I can't quite envision it. Thanks! Joel

I live in Idaho so I am afraid I do not have any suggestions for who you should go through. I would contact Bare (phone or website or possibly through the Bare vendor forum here) and ask them what shops they have a good working relationship with in your area. When I bought mine; no local dive...

I have a pair of the Excellerator force fins that I would be happy to sell. Red, size XXL (I wear a normal six 10 1/2 to 11 sneaker and a size 11 1/2 dry boot), w/ tool and instruction pamphlet. $450 00 50+% of retail. Literally in the pool once, and the ocean once too. These are still factory...

I dive the Bare SB drysuit. I am tall and on the lanky side so legs and arms had to be extended. Minus the lack of pockets, after two years (and reasonable care), it has kept me warm (with their layers) and most happy. I researched it first on line, and through my local dive shop, who was a...

I know this is really late in the discussion, but WOW, have you ever been on a reef with the cruise cattle? Or those that just don't know better? I am not suggesting that hooks are appropriate for all situations, but when used correctly, and with care, they can indeed be a kindness, as opposed...

I am a brand new rookie leaving the states for the first time this April (to Fiji) and I don't have a clue what I need for a wetsuit. I started out thinking a 2mm would be fine but after spending 3 months in the Florida keys (diving daily) and getting cold in a 2/3mm Velocity Bare full wetsuit...

Hey RonR, Related question; I am headed to the other side of the country (Idaho to Florida) next week and I want to avoid any rookie mistakes (and I am most certainly a rookie). With no "Off" option is there anything I should pay attention to while traveling? So far, Atomic's instructions have...

Sorry to dredge up such an old thread but I have a similar interest with a different starting point. I am giving serious thought to the Hall's program for a career change (in my forties). I am trying to be realistic about this and go into it with eyes wide open. I am most interested in hearing...

A) Sorry for the title.. B) Can anyone offer an opinion on using after-market (strap vs. glue) pockets and knife sheaths with a dry suit? How does the addition/reduction of air to the suit effect the use of strap-on accessories? Does this hinder the function/performace of the dry-suit...

Sorry. My bad. You have to remember that you are talking to someone who remembers Atari the first time around. Fair enough. If, this is full disclosure, I should say my 4 plus hours on the Cobalt have all been in a pool (and all that rebar). I will shut up until I have it out in open water...

Wow, I am sorry to go back to one of your March postings; but I just now watched all three of your video links. Am I correct in understanding you shot ALL of that only on the P & S DMC LX-5? What housing and lighting did you use? What was the battery life of the camera and external lighting you...

Hi everyone, Thank you to everyone taking the time to read this post(sorry for the length); and thank you even more to those taking the time to reply. This is yet another request for some guidance for a “wanna-be” underwater photographer. I have read the previous similar threads, before...

Hi RonR, I really don't want to be one more of "those guys." I have great respect for the way you personally have represented yourself, your company, and your company's product from the beginning. I am also grateful for your continued transparency throughout the Cobalt's release. Even through...
