Thanks Jared, cheers!

Thanks for the answer, this really makes sense, but, if I were to buy a first stage just to have as spare (not connected to any hose) wouldn't I need all of the ports to be plugged to avoid dust or other crap to get into the regulator?

Hello, I've recently acquired one 3100 Series Regulator. It came with a second stage and hose attached, so I asked my vendor about the unused LP port plug and he told me: "You will always be short one LP plug per 1st stage no matter the regulator manufacture, it's how they come. It's a safety...

My opinion may be biased, because after diving whith Jorge and Ben we ended up being friends, but theirs is the best dive operation I've encountered. I don't know what went wrong with the displeased costumers, but I can assure you that they made everything that they could to make my dive...

Just came back from a weekend in Puerto Vallarta, conditions were not the best, but it was still diveable. found temperatures as low as 60° F (15.5 ° C), and in average, bad viz, but some parts of the dives had about 20 ft viz and warm temp (at least after the thermoclines), saw some critters...

Has anyone here dived in Mazatlan? any coments?

Good to read that you got out without trouble, I have no experience diving in kelp, but I think that you were not in real danger (500 psi at 30 ft can last a lot) however, here are my two psi: 1.- If you are not comfortable with a dive, give your buddy the thumbs up and ascend. (My rule is to...

I'm sorry if this topic has been addressed before, I made a quick search and didn't find it. I'm looking forward to doing a digital back up of my dive log, I don't really know what options are out there, so i'd like to know what other divers use. So what software or website would you...

I've never been on a liveaboard, but I always assumed that the liveaboard could provide you with the gear, either loaning it or renting it to you...

I think I dove with you in Puerto morelos and Cozumel! and yes, Scorpio divers is a really nice dive operation! Greetings!

Hi! Welcome to the board, I'm trying to organize a low budget weekend dive trip to Baja for the next year, when would you think it's better to go?

That's on Manzanillo and Puerto vallarta (where the fish got scared easily), where I wouldn't dare diving is on Chapala Lake (I think a hazmat suit is little protection for that place)

I've just returned from a week in cancún, in which I dived 5 days. My buddy contacted Scorpio Divers in advance, and I think that was the best desition we could ever made. DAY 1 - Cenotes. Jorge picked us up in the hotel and took us to The Pit cenote near Tulum, it's located about 20...

Finally!!!! The tortas ahogadas have arrived!!!! Er hm I mean, Hugo and I arrived to Cancun today, and brought some tortas with us! Looking forward to dive with you tomorrow! (Hugo have the tortas, so you´d better get them before he gets hungry)

I've never heard of it, what are you supposed to learn in this certification?

Thank you very much for all your answers, I'm convinced now that they were barracudas. I was impressed when I saw that battery of barracudas, I've never saw a live barracuda before and that dive made my day :D. Now I hope to see a wahoo so I can see in person the difference.

Hi! About 3 months ago I had a great dive in Manzanillo mexico surrounded by a huge school of barracudas (or so I thought). But recently someone said to me that it's probable that they were Wahoos, can someone please tell me what are this and how to know the difference? I don't know how to...

I can definitely relate to you. On my fisrt year diving I bought an expensive BCD, and while returning from a shore dive, we ussually open the back lid (hope that's the correct name) of the pick up, to place the tank and help us take off the equipment. One time I did so, but instead of securing...

I don't know a lot about sharks, and I would love to see one while diving. I've always hear about shark attacks on the surface, I've been told that the sharks can confuse the surfers with turtles, of if they don't know which animal is the one floating above them, they may take a bite just to...
