Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a looong time, but I'm kind of looking for some advice. About 2 years ago, I took an UTD Essentials of Rec class--and failed. I took the class for a few reasons: I wanted to be a better diver, and I was enamored with all the GUE/UTD stuff on this board...

I'm traveling to Aurora for work in a couple of weeks, and I am wondering if there's anywhere interesting to dive within an easy drive away? I'm used to diving in quarries and stuff locally, so I'd be looking for something different than that style, but no caves/etc. Purely a recreational diver...

Why was the Lionfish + HCT thread removed from the Pub? Also, the older locked Lionfish thread seems to have been removed as well?

I'm selling my size "L" Mares Prestige MRS plus. $325 + shipping. It has about 50 dives on it, mixed salt/freshwater. It was serviced in January of this year and has not been dived since.

Anyone else going to watch (or is watching) the Space Shuttle Discovery fly over DC and/or land into Dulles Airport today? My office is on the flight path, so if I get any good pics, I'll post them here.

I'm somewhat confused by the materials for the various hoses that are out there currently. :confused: I'm reconfiguring my current regulator setup to have the long-hose, necklace backup configuration, so while shopping around for new hoses, I've come across: * Rubber * Miflex2 * DuoKev *...

Anyone going to do the Chilly Willy dive at Millbrook on Dec. 18?

In anticipation of some potentially nice black friday deals--I hope-- I've been considering making some changes to my regulator setup. I currently dive an Aqualung Titan LX Supreme (cold water version of the LX) with an ABS Octo with a yoke 1st stage. The LX is awesome, and I have no complaints...

Hi everyone, I'm going to be visiting family in the Boston area on Labor Day weekend. Does anyone have a recommendation of a dive op/site/etc within a reasonable drive? Family is about an hour west of Boston if that helps. I'm probably going to need to rent an exposure suit (drysuit hasn't...

I might be making a "last minute" trip to Va Beach this weekend. Anyone diving on Sunday? Or recommend any specific trip/charter? I know LDC is scheduled to do the Luckenbach on Sunday.

Hey all, anyone have any experiences with the Poseidon Evolution Drysuit (http://www.poseidon.com/products/evolution)? I can get a good deal on one, but I haven't seen much chatter or that many reviews online.

So, I've decided that I'm sick of my gigantic combo depth/spg console (AquaLung brand if anyone really cares). One of the reasons is I have a Suunto D4 which means I never look at the depth gauge. The other annoying thing is the console is just huge! My plan is to get rid of the combo...

Sorry for the newb question, but I did try searching for this via both google and the built in search function... most people just talk about how awesome they are or wish certain manufacturer's had them. What's special about silicone seals on a drysuit? :confused: I'm recently certified as...

Some friends and family are planning a weekend trip to Rehobooth Beach, Delaware for the middle of June. I'm wondering if there's any convenient dive ops/sites in that area? I know I can probably go down to Ocean City, MD (~45 min drive), but I was hoping there would be something closer...

So I'm getting ready to take the Drysuit class next weekend, but when I went to sign up for the class, the LDS basically said I have to bring my own hood and gloves. I did talk to the instructor who said he'd let me borrow a pair of gloves and a hood for the class. This seems kind of odd to...

Hey everyone...yet another "which reg is better?" thread here. I tried searching the forums a bit on this, but I never saw a head-to-head comparison between these two regulators. Also, given that I'm kind of a noob at this, I've probably also picked the wrong ScubaPro setup to compare the...

Hi everyone, so I'm looking to get my first BC, and I'm kind of torn between the Sherwood Tortuga, Mares Dragon, and Seaquest/AquaLung Balance. Now, I'm mostly a warmer water diver, and typically need to travel to dive and I realize these three BCs are kind of big.... I also have about 15...
