    Halcyon BP, Transpac II or OMS IQ

    I went through the exact same tire kicking one year ago that you are going through now. GET THE HALCYON BP WITH PIONEER WINGS. It's a no brainer. You will love it once it's fine tuned and fit for you. Esp if you know of a couple people diving the same Halcyon rig. So slick, so comfy...

    undergarments with bc for bouyancy NOT drysuit

    I am looking for feedback from those who dive their BC for bouyancy, NOT their drysuits as PADI and some others recommend. I am in the market for a new undergarment for diving in BC waters ranging from 40 - 55 F. 1. If money were no object it would be the DUI 400g thinsulate 2. Buddies...

    ATX100 vs TX100 vx ATX200

    Boogie711, You will notice NO performance difference in ATX50 vs. 200, etc. It will breath just as well as the others. IT WILL serve you right into and through any "technical" stuff (ie, deco requirements, deep stuff) as anything deep you will use trimix so that the air will be less dense...

    Dual Use UP Drysuit Undergarment

    Can anyone who has had the opportunity to test the 300g Polartec against the Weazle Extreme and / or the DUI 400g comment? This would be a comparison based on these alone and not on the extras one needs to wear along with the undies to stay warm...

    Drysuit course needed?

    My comments are by no means directed at the competency of any instructor but at the content of the course; I want to make this point clear. I did in fact take the PADI dry suit specialty course and i stilll stand by the fact that is was the biggest waste of 200 Canadian dollars (or whatever it...

    Latex or neoprene seals

    Thanks Arnaud... they cost a whole $3.00 Canadian (like 99cents USD) Wearing the black marigolds gloves inside out improves communication underwater with the increased visability the white gives you. Hallmac, no offense but you don't really know what you are talking about. I am not allergic...

    Latex or neoprene seals

    Arnaud... neoprene does NOT give you the burn and scars that latex delivers. Just get the neoprene neck seal and be done with it. Why confuse the issue? Folding a neoprene seal is about as difficult as tucking in a t-shirt. Come on...

    ATX100 vs TX100 vx ATX200

    Buy the least expensive. I bought the ATX 200 and although not bad, i got suckered into marketing. All the Apeks regs are top of the line. Even the T20 is a solid reg. Go for the least expensive and you will not be disappointed. Heed my advice, I wish someone did for me... oh ya, they did and I...

    Latex or neoprene seals

    After having tonnes of issues with my Whites latex neck seal, I reluctantly got a neoprene installed. That was the best thing I have done for my suit and my diving comfort yet. It is warm, cozy, comfotable, leaves no marks, and is dry as a bone. All of these aformentioned properties were absent...

    Drysuit course needed?

    A drysuit course is THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY I can think of second to boat diver specialty. PLEASE don't waste your money. Invest it in gear or send it to me via PayPal. Get some experienced divers to give you some instruction and tell you the basics (should take 10-20 minutes) and then do 2-5...

    Which nitrox course ?

    I think that you would not be disappointed if you took and successfully completed this course... Recreational TriOx You would learn more than all those other agencies combined and more than get your moneys worth. The knowledge acquired would be significant.

    Best place to buy a drysuit in Canada?

    try The Great Pacific Dive Company on Marine Drive in North Vancouver. There is one in Surrey too but hit the one in North Van. I think they will do Bare out of there. If you want to do DUI (which i would if i had the cash) you can ask GPD if they'll do it or try BC Dive Adventures.

    Best place to buy a drysuit in Canada?

    I live in Vancouver and I would NOT go for Whites. I think that their customer service is good, no argument there. I do not think that their product is as good as others. I own a Whites and would not go that route again. I would look into a Bare suit. A couple buddies have them and I like what i...

    Custom drysuits

    I will make this simple for you.... Do it correct the first time. Buy a custom DUI TLS350 and be done with it. The craftmanship DUI has is second to none. I tried to get cheap and regret it. I am now saving for a DUI and trying to flog my mistake. DUI; simple, done.

    Log Book Software

    That Ruiz Software for the Palm is AWESOME. He has done a very good job with that and I have used it along with my paper backup for some time. There is one glaring problem however.... I have since developed my own paper logbook and the reason is because allof these dive logs developed for the...
