    [Question] "Designing" a reel

    I hear this time and time again, from profs and from a few mechanics i know. I was never really planning on doing a redesign, just drawing up all the components to get familiar with this CAD program. I guess my question now is what is the purpose of the 3 screws i keep seeing if its just a...

    Jet Fins and Sz. 12 Foot

    Hi, A friend of mine is looking to purchase jet fins with spring straps. He has a sz. 12 foot, however he failed to tell me if he would be diving wet or dry with them. Does anyone fit these parameters and can tell me what size of fin and spring straps he should get (for wet or dry)?

    Catalina vs luxfer al. 40, is it worth it?

    I'm looking to sling it as a RAS/stage, I've grown tired of re-purchasing gear because I've "grown out of it" so to speak, so I figured a 40 would be best if i ever decide to move out of recreational diving, as i said I'm tired of repurchasing gear so if I would regret the cat later on ill find...

I currently work at a dive shop and can get a Catalina 40 for $200, my question is is it worth it to pay an extra 80-100 for a luxfer from a different shop? I've heard...

    Bare masks?

    I have the Bare frameless mask, which i received accidentally trying to order an Atomic Aquatics, i find that it does not fit my face well. Water seems to leak in around the bottom of the nose pocket. This is just the fit of my face though, the quality of the product is great.

    Some broad questions about gear and the LDS

    Having worked for my LDS for a few years, the advice i find myself giving the most often is to rent your gear for the beginning of your diving career.
