    Delta 3 vs GT3 vs Delta 4

    I dove a borrowed Delta 3/TDX5 years ago and I really liked how well it breathed. I am finally not a poor student and am looking at moving away from borrowing and renting gear for diving and into buying my own. Doing some research, it looks like the Delta 3 is no longer available but the...

    Just back from Curacao

    That's an excellent report. I will be in Curacao in April for a wedding (not my own) and want to get some diving in. I am staying at Breezes so I imagine I can at least dive the reef there each morning but with any luck I can get to the other side of the island and do a couple of boat dives as...

    Online Sales - The importance of buying from local businesses

    I shop online because where I live, the LDS does not stock the brands that I want to dive.

    Any thoughts on my setup?

    Isn't this irrelevant if you don't have tanks and a compressor as well if you are in the middle of nowhere with no LDS, and hopefully electricity and running water somewhere? I am assuming you can get gas somewhere for a portable compressor.

    New Lord Jim wreck photos

    Fantastic photos. How long has the wreck been on the bottom? What is it's depth?

    Mission Marine LDS/diverswholesale.com

    Did you ever give them a part number or a description in order to find out how much they would sell the Apeks at? I have to agree about the price of their Bare Wetsuits. Much cheaper than my LDS.

    Hello

    Hi Scubalil, I am currently doing an MA at the University of Southampton in Maritime Archaeology. If you wish to stay in the United States, I would suggest that you look at the program at Texas A&M, Florida State University and East Carolina University. Going to the UK was a good choice for...

    Bare Velocity 5/4 fullsuit.....

    I was looking at one as well for some diving in Cyprus in April with water temperatures around 17 celcius. I haven't had the chance to try one on yet as there are very few distributors anywhere near me in England but before I go to Cyprus, I am going back to Winnipeg for a couple of weeks and I...

    Where do you dive during the winter months?

    I would dive year around if I could but all of the water here ices over and I don't think I want to get into ice diving. Summer diving here is May-October if you are lucky. After that, it's time to head down south for a week or 2.

    Dream Dives

    Truk Lagoon and Scapa Flow. Then I am a big war wreck junkie. Since I am in the UK for a year with school, I certainly hope I can make it up to the Orkney's sometime in July or August to dive Scapa.

    Why use Gauge mode?

    I just wanted to know why you would use a dive computer like the Stinger in gauge mode during your dive? It seems as if having the computer set on air or nitrox still offers you dive time and depth so it seems funny to have the computer and just use it as a simple bottom timer.

    Scuba-friendly automobile suggestions?

    I would stick with Honda. I really like the CRV's. For there size, there is a surprisingly large amount of interior space. I have only had to transport 2 people with gear but I have had 5 adults easily fit in mine. I would also 2nd the Touareg. However, they start to get pricey whereas...

    Guam Dive Shops?

    Does anyone know some good dive shops in Guam? I thought I would do some research on the diving out there as it seems I might be moving out there as my Fiance has a job lined up. Since I am Canadian, the US gov't won't give me a visa to work there unless I am sponsered by a company so I...

    Hello

    Hi Guys, I just wanted to say. I found the site on google and thought I would join after checking out some of the equipment and dive site related topics. There are some great discussions on kit here. I am busy trying to decide what I should buy that could help me as a maritime archaeology...
