    Around the neck?

    Wow... a 40 is pretty big and will be tough to haul in an overhead, cave, wreck environment in any configuration.

    A-B-C-D-E-F-G pre-dive checklist

    I agree, releases is very important.. and not just for yourself but to know how to operate your buddies (and that they know how to operate yours).

    $90 USB Cable!!!?!

    That is hwy I have never bought one for my VEO. I'm afraid that it just wouldnt be worth the cost. I hate the Oceanic software so I hand log everything.

    At what point do you buy a tank?

    I own two and am glad I can just head down and dive when I want (I lake dive since I live 2.5 hrs from Monterey). Fill up on the way home and I am ready for the next mood. The cost of ownership isn't so high that I would't own one. Also I know where I live I have a buddy that is a fire...

    More keyframes for GoPro videos?

    I agree with CrticalMass... I have no idea what you mean by keyframes? I too own a GoPro (and a few other cams) and a keyframe is to me is something in editing software. I use Premiere 9.0 and a Keyframe is a frame in a point of time on the video.

    Scuba Photography

    Any good online SCUBA shop has basic camera its. Ikelite housings are fantastic but tend to be very expensive. For a first time purchase I would look at buying a complete kit. It can be tough to find a good camera, housing, and strobe. Also if you buy a dedicated UW camera it should have the...

    Painting a Reg

    I paint PVC often and you can use a spraypaint designed for plastics. Rust-oleum and a few other manufactures have them.

    Beginner with some (lots) of questions about equipment

    I dive off nor cal in a full 7mm into 50ish degree water and have over 35 dives in the last few months into that type of environement. I hate wearing a 7 full with hood, gloves, and booties... it is very restricting and the weight I wear on my 190lbs frame is brutal to haul on entries and...

    I have an Oceanic Veo 250 and the cheapest I have every seen the cable is $89.00. Needless to say I have never purchased it because of this. I have looked everywhere.

    Travelling with Equipment

    Always carry your reg with you. TSA Rules allow them to fly... and I wouldn't take my chances with several hundred dollars of my most important equipment going in coach. I have had my bags rifled through and stolen from several times before and I am certain a reg would dissapear in a...

    fins, fins so many fins.

    That just sounds lame. Splt or not they do the same thing. Use what you like. I have tried both and notice little difference between them. My dive buddy swears by split fins. Neither of us are right... because its just preference.

    Flat conditions at Breakwater from July 5th, and my first video

    AWESOME! Thanks for the information. I like the instructable and think it may be a fun build. With your flat lens did you install it yourself? Was it easy to do? Do you remove your internal lens?

    What Camera to Buy?

    I love my GoPro... just be sure to get a slat lens for it. My buddy uses a contour and I'm not a big fan of his stuff. When I first got the GoPro I used it on a head mount and just filmed. Now I use a flat lens, I just attach it to a lanyard and hand hold it (I have acarbon fiber rod for a mount)

    CSSP GoPro test

    I love it! Try the chest mount, head mount, or wrist mount... no helmet required. I use the had strap from GoPro and it works fine. I use a lanyard to attach it to my BC so as not to lose it. Works great.
