Hi Everyone, I recently bought an Exodry size M online, but unfortunately I think it may be a size too small for me. I am looking for a size L at this point. Could also potentially trade for a size M (new condition with tags and original packaging). Let me know if anyone has one for sale...

Hi Everyone, I'm looking at two used wetsuits, both are 7mm bodygloves, but one is an EX3, and the other one is an X2. I have not been able to find any useful information on differences between the two. Anyone have any input? Thanks in advance for clarifying!

Hi Everyone, Apologies in advance if this isn't the correct forum; I'm looking to replace my primary second stage, and I've basically narrowed it down to the HOG Zenith, or the Dive Rite XT2. They're very comparable price-wise, and I don't want the $30-40 difference to affect my decision...

Hi Everyone! I posted in this forum a few days ago trying to get a better idea of what exactly I need to set up an effective, first BP/W setup, and after doing a decent amount of research, I was hoping to get some (constructive) feedback on the combination I'm leaning towards at the moment. As...

Hey everyone, I've been diving for 5-6 years now using the rear inflation Mares Icon BCD, and I'm looking to get my first BP/W setup. Looking back I probably should've just bought a BP/W system to begin with but hindsight is 20/20 I guess!:acclaim: The vast majority of my diving thus far has...

Hi everyone, For most of this coming summer I will be doing an internship with a company located in Columbus, Indiana. I am from the Twin Cities and am currently a student at UW Madison so I've done my fair share of diving throughout the midwest. From what I can see on Google Maps the closest...

Hi guys, I'm looking at buying the Waterproof Warmtec 200g undergarment to use with my drysuit. I primarily dive the Great Lakes, and quarries/lakes throughout the midwest with water temps frequently in the low 40's. Does anyone have any experience or feedback on this undergarment? It has good...

Hi everyone! I'm applying for a job at a local dive shop, and the manager asked for a "dive resume outlining your dive history". Maybe this is common knowledge but I'm not really sure what exactly that is... Is it just a list of all your dives? Is there a specific format like one for an actual...

Hi everyone, I recently started drysuit diving, and since the majority of my diving takes place in the chilly midwest, this is pretty exciting stuff for me. However during my drysuit class I became inverted and had to surface with an instructor. I think this is due to the fact that my rock...

Hey everyone! Me and my dad are travelling to Greece this summer and we will have several days available for diving!:) I am interested in some input on what dive sites to visit both in the Athens area and among the Greek islands. Has anyone been diving there? Any suggestions? We're interested...

Hey everyone, I just have one quick question. I recently purchased a USIA aqua sport drysuit and the manual suggests to store it by rolling it up with the zipper on the outside and then placing it in a sealed plastic bag and then in the bag that came with the suit. Not thinking I'd need it, I...

Hey guys, quick question. I recently purchased my first drysuit, a custom sized USIA aqua sport and my only worry is that there is a lot of extra material around the crotch, meaning I have to pull up my suit occasionally. As a bcd I have the mares icon. my question is would it make sense to...

Hey everyone, Diving largely in the midwest and MN, I am easily prone to become cold, and a drysuit has gradually worked its way to the top of my list. Now that its black friday weekend, I have searched online and two have aught my attention. The two that I am looking at are: Sea Elite Scout...

How does the capacity/volume of a Worthington X7 HP 65 compare with that of an AL80? I am thinking of buying a Worthington X7 HP 65 and have been using an AL80 up to now. I know its negatively buoyant but how does it compare in general? Thanks so much for the info!

Hey everyone, the other day i had this thought, if I was faced with an unconscious buddy underwater, rapid ascent of my buddy or myself, or DCS at the surface would I know what to do?? I currently have my OW certification, and although I am taking CPR and Lifeguard training this summer to...

Hey Guys, I have a tendency to check craigslist every once in a while for any good deals on scuba gear in the area. Well I stumbled accross someone selling 4 steel cylinders for a very good price. I inquired over email for some details and the information he gave me was: Annual inspection...

Hey, My family is considering a family vacation to North Carolina (outerbanks) this summer which we would book soon. I dive with my dad, and since I realize that almost all the wrecks are deeper than 60 feet, we we strongly considering taking the AOW class before the trip, also to get more...

I am considering getting a set off doubles sometime in the far off future and first off I just wanna say that I know practically nothing about doubles, except that 200 and 300 bar mean different number of threads and therefore a different pressure rating. Currently I have an Edge Epic Cold...

Hello, I'm 16 and live in the twin cities. Being in the land of 10,000 lakes (more like 15,000) you'd think one would have plenty of chances to go diving, but for me its about getting there. On average 15 is a fairly young age to dive (I am OW certified for a few months) or at least thats the...

Hey guys, I am (turned in July) 16 (got my cert when I was 15) and me and my dad went diving in Lake Ore-Be-Gone, MN. The sport is still new to us, but I can tell that I have pretty much found a love for diving thats gonna last me a lifetime!:D One thing that we struggled with though as our...
