    When will the 2012 Buyers Guide be available?

    The 2011 guide is on the website, but I want to shop for NEW stuff. I know you were showing new products at DEMA, but when do we get to see a complete catalog? Thanks.

    SK7 end mount compass

    So I have a Cobra that is edging close to a 1000 dives on it in little over 6 years, and I have always had an SK7 end mount compass (41111), just where I like it. Anyway in January, the SK7 finally failed (bubble). Okay, but since then two more SK7s have failed & at $85 a pop, it's starting to...

    Boot Camp? Not hardly.

    So I decided to join a “boot camp” & get my fat a$$ in shape. OMG, I suddenly realized that I was in no way, shape or form ready to be classed as a “boot camp” participant. So I thought about where I am at in my fitness level, and decided to write down some the progression of camps that would...

    Titan Lx 1st Stage vs. Titan Lx Supreme 1st stage.

    Okay, so the brochure states that the Titan LX Supreme is an over balanced 1st stage. What does that mean to me? Could I tell the difference between the two? For reference, I have a few hundred dives on my Legend LX & have zero complaints, but I rarely use the cracking adjustment. Would...

    Turks & Caicos? I dunno....

    So here is the problem. There is a group of us (6) that go on a trip every year. Not all of the SOs dive, so it needs to be a place that has a variety of things to do. Now we are looking for the next location in 2011 & T&C came up. What else is there to do but lay on the beach, shop and...

    Observations of a first time visitor. (VERY LONG)

    I have been meaning to write this for a couple of weeks now. If I don't write this soon, I won't remember the details. So here goes, observations from a first time visitor to Grand Cayman, some hints, preferences & opinions. YMMV, veterans will hopefully correct any gaffs that I may make...

    DIY Liquid Diet

    Okay, this sounds strange, but here goes. I will need to go on a Liquid Diet for a few weeks, (at least 2, hopefully no more than 4). This is not a weight driven goal (although I won't feel bad about that benefit), it is just that I won't be able to chew. So the diet is open, but I was...

    Any correlation to diving?

    So I was talking to a pilot (small single-engine type) about a recent accident and he made some sort of reference to a “500 hour pilot”, good enough to get into trouble, but not good enough to get out of trouble. So I was talking to my dental hygienist about her favorite hobby, skydiving and...

    How do you do it?

    So here is my question. It is something that has bothered me all of my life. How do you face an exercise program? I hear about people who talk about a “great workout”….HUH? I would rather go to the dentist, paint my house & garden in the snow than workout. When I am done with a workout I...

    How long of SI after the computer dies?

    I was reading a local dive magazine’s guest editorial that talks about his computer failure. This was his second day of diving, to be first dive of the day, to be the fourth dive of the trip. When he found his computer had failed and wiped out the previous day’s dive profiles his comment was...

    Lowered standards...I'm a Divermaster!

    I've finally got my card! All that's left is insurance. Now all I have left to do is practice everything so that I am marginally capable. The journey has just begun.

    oooh, the Keys

    I'm leaving tomorrow for your part of the country and right now I'm worthless at work. All I can think about is vacation. I've never been to Florida and I'm really looking forward to it! :dazzler1:

    Confessions of a Lurker.

    I've been reading the threads for some time, but never had anything to add, so I've been really happy with a lurking status. However, I have some questions so I guess I'll have to play nicely by the rules. I have been diving off and on since the mid-80's but not regularly, life happens. I do...
