    UWATEC/Mares Pressure Transmitter Compatibility

    I’m looking for a pressure transmitter for a Galileo Luna. I found a seller posting a Mares pressure transmitter and claiming that it is UWATEC compatible. Has anyone had any experience with UWATEC/Mares pressure transmitter compatibility? I can’t find anything online confirming it. Thanks for...

    Hollis F-1's with Yellow Tips

    Went to the dive shop today and they checked with hollis on the backorder of the XL yellow tips that I purchased 6 weeks ago. They couldn't even give an ETA. Canceled the order and went with the black ones that were in stock.

    Hollis F-1's with Yellow Tips

    Does anyone even have the yellow tips in XL? Starting to wonder if I bought a product that dosnt even exist. Think I'll cancel my order. Seems like a waste to have to rent fins because the fins I have already paid for are taking forever.

    Hollis F-1's with Yellow Tips

    I ordered and payed for these fins in XL over a month ago from my LDS. Still don't have them. Dive shop still hasn't heard back from Hollis. I emailed Hollis directly a week ago to see if there was any estimate on when they would be available and I still haven't got an email back. Hows Hollis'...

    Atomic aquatics frameless vs hollis m1

    I was looking at purchasing these same masks and the major difference I noticed was how much easier it was to get at my nose with the Hollis M1. I Could not even get my fingers at my nose with the Atomic. I tried to compare the field of view and they seemed exactly the same. I like the looks of...

    Too much fin?

    Thanks for the help guys! I ordered my Hollis F1s from my LDS today. They didn't have yellow in stock so I get to wait. Very confident in my decision now. Now I get to juggle the whole jacket vs. bp&w decision next.

    Worst trend in Scuba Diving instruction many of us have ever seen...Avoid Groupon!

    I admit I used groupon to get certified. My pool class had three students and two instructors. When we went on our certification dives I was in a group of 6 with 2 instructors. I was very impressed and am going back for AOW at full price. All ready got nitrox and peak performance thru them. I...

    Too much fin?

    Thanks for the replies. I think I will go with the Hollis F1. Seems like the best fin longterm. The price is great too! Im going to have to go with the yellow ones even tho they are as Fugly as can be! Mistressmotor posted earlier that some claim using apollo bio fins can result in death...

    Training too fast?

    Also wanted to pass on a good point that Burhan made in an email. He pointed out the conditions where i live and will be doing most of my diving is a factor. I'm in Ventura, California and while I'm fortunate to live so close to the channel islands, the conditions here aren't as easy as the...

    Training too fast?

    Thanks Denon. I am going through the PADI system and agree with your criticism. I don't have anyone else to compare to but I feel my instructor is top notch, especially when it came to providing advanced tips beyond what "the theme" of the dive was without overwhelming me. I know he's a business...

    Training too fast?

    Thanks Burhan! your post seems the most logical to me. I was very comfortable in the water but i think it is wise to learn it right the first time. My plan is to go on a few dives where i originally got certified so i will be comfortable, and practice what i have learned. Then in a couple months...

    Training too fast?

    I just finished my OW cert and on the same weekend I got nitrox and peak performance certified. My instructor wants me to go on a deep dive, a night dive, and underwater navigation to complete my advanced certification. Should i go on my own dives before training more? Am I being pushed to fast...

    Too much fin?

    "Others on this board will say you will have every problem up to and including death if you use a split fin like the Apollos, but they are just wrong." including death???

    Too much fin?

    I just got open water certified and i cant decide on fins. I will be mostly diving the channel islands and will be doing some shore dives in southern california. I can't decide between the apollo bio fin pro and the hollis f1 fins. Im leaning towards to Hollis F1 but im worried its too much fin...
