Looking for a new light for travel / warm water use. I like that this one takes AAA's so I can go with rechargeable. Worried that the beam angle might be a little narrow. Was looking at the Tovatec Wide Angle Torch which I like everything about except that it runs on CR123's.

Need to replace my dive boots as the old ones finally came apart, and of course the company that manufactured them is no longer in business. I have extremely wide feet which makes it difficult to find a good fit, and prefer a hard sole high top with side zipper. Thanks in advance for any...

Can you give me the dimensions of your aluminum backplate please? Trying to see how close it will line up with my Halcyon storage pak. As well, your website lists it at 2#, but in the details it says 3#? I'm assuming 2# is the actual weight? Thanks.

Okay, I'm currently diving a SS back-plate. Basic Halcyon Eclipse. I want a lighter option for warm water. Aluminum back-plate like the one from HOG looks like the best bet for me. (I like the 'skeleton' travel one that oxycheq sells but I'd lose my Halcyon storage pack.) Aluminum being less...

Looking to be flying into Cairns on a Saturday or Sunday. Trying to find live-aboards with a departure early in the week. Suggestions?

Headed for Australia and extending my trip for a little vacation. Trying to figure where to go and noticed that Virgin Blue flies into Vanuatu. Anyone been there recently? Are there any live-aboards? I'm doing some research but find I'm a litttle pressed for time...

Thought I'd start this one if nobody else has. I'll be there from 16 to 23 December, staying with Papa Hogs. Anyone else down in December?

Anyone else collecting these? I've got seven of the Atomic Aquatics regulator cards that I will trade to anyone who can help me finish the set for the trip. :D PM me here, or email at glbirch@telus.net. Thanks, and good luck all!

Spring cleaning. I've got a Seaquest Raider, size Large, with maybe ten dives on it. Asking $350. As my profile shows, I'm located in the Victoria region. Will drop if off for you if you're in town. Also willing to ship, but you pay for the shipping. Also selling a Tusa Imprex BCD. I believe...

Two weeks ago in Cozumel, I took a hit from a jellyfish or something across the back of my hand. Immediate reaction, swelling, redness, pain, etc, lasted a couple of hours then faded away. But a week later back home the back of my hand erupted again in the same place with red welts that are...

Woke up this morning with a sudden urge to migrate to warmer climates. Bought a plane ticket, booking a room, kissing my wife goodbye and will be heading to Cozumel this Friday for a week of diving. Thought I'd see if anyone else was going to be around, as I wouldn't mind meeting a few of my...

RobinHood Watersports now offers drysuit underwear they are calling Thermocline, manufactured out of a material called 'Outlast'. Anyone used this yet? I'm wondering if it's market hype, or if there is something to it.

Within the last couple of months, I picked up a dive magazine that reviewed a dozen different sets of drysuit underwear. Now I'm trying to find it again, but can't seem to track down the magazine. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

(Step up on soapbox.) Nearly every day in the summer, I'll see a family biking. All the children are wearing helmets, but not the parents. They'll buckle the kids into the car, but not use the seatbelt themselves. Kids get life jackets, but the parents don't wear them (Boat tips, both parents...

The Washington Post’s Style Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are the 2003 winners: 1. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you...

yes or no.

Well, as commercials go I think it's a pretty good one... (does require quicktime) http://www.digitalpimpz.com/video/starbucks.mov

Didn't even know about the googlism site until it came up in a search result. I've learned the terrible truth about Uncle Pug... Googlism for: uncle pug uncle pug is actually a computer program developed by proponents of gue/dir.

Recently I picked up a Zyliss garlic press, and I'm wondering why I didn't get one years ago. So what little gadget do you find yourself using more than you thought you would cooking?

In another thread discussing multi-day diving( http://www.scubaboard.com/t58234.html ) there was a recommendation made that one should avoid moderate to heavy excercise before and after diving. There has been research done that supports this. It was also suggested that sleeping between dives...
