I am posting to say the I am very happy with your wetsuits. I have three (7mm, 3, and 1) and my daughter has a 3mm. I am a larger diver and I really appreciate your larger sizes. All of them have proven to be well made and high quality all at a great price. Thanks Akona!

The Dive Bus website is gone and email is bouncing. Has something happened to them?

My 17 YO daughter saw an article on the sculpture garden off Grenada. I searched but haven't found a post from anyone who has dived it. Any experience with this? We are going on a cruise that stops there. I hadn't planned on diving on Grenada but she is really enthuiasitic about seeing this...

I will be in Cozumel Nov 4th thru the 11th. Any SBers interested in getting together downtown for a SB dinner or a beer the 5th thru the 10th? Regards, John

What gloves do you recommend to pair with a 7mm wet suit? Are the Henderson hyper stretch good? I have some cheaper gloves that are a pain to put on. I use these in a quarry and will be doing Lake Michigan this weekend for the first time and don't want to use my old ones. Thanks.

I was in my LDS today and saw that Aqualung is running a free octo deal as of 4/1. If you are interested in a Legend with Legend Octo this is a really good deal for a great reg with parts warranty. I just wish when I bought my Legend last year this deal was on!

I got back yesterday from a week at Caribe Blu and getting my AOW with Alison Denis. Other than the north wind on Sunday closing the port it was an excellent week. Caribe Blu's pier went into use this week and other stone work is really coming along. It is a great place to stay. The restraunt...

I have a SeaQuest Balance BC. I want to put a ring or some other attachment point in my pocket to clip the contents into to prevent loss. Have any of you done this? There is mesh in part of the pocket but it looks like it would tear out if I put a ring or loop there. Are there any other...

My November LDS arranged group trip to Scuba Club was cancelled because of Wilma. I am contemplating a trip down to Cozumel for a week but I would have to go by myself. I am fairly newly certified and am interested in getting my AOW. That is what I was going to do on the start of the LDS trip...

The dust cap on my Legend did not come with an O ring. Does anyone know if the Legend cap is supposed to have a ring in it?

I tried my new Seaquest Balance BC out this past weekend. I loved the feeling of the BC when neutral and found it very stable underwater. However, I found that venting with the inflator hose was problematic unless I was completely vertical. Should I just use the cable pull dump on the hose or...

I was recently certifed as was my daughter. I went out and bought a bunch of gear while I spent hours and hours researching it here. Thank goodness for SB! I signed up for AOW during a Cozumel trip in November and am looking forward to it very much. Our whole family is booked on a spring...

I havent' found much here on the Aeris Reefrider. I dove with one over the weekend and liked the simple BI design. This was in a 7mm in cold water. I put the extra lead abouve what the trim and drop pockets held in the regular pockets.. The 30#s of lift seems ideal. My main use will be...

I recently researched a new reg purchase and ended up with a AL Legend and Legend Octo. SB was key in making this decision. My daughter just finished her OW pool classes and I noticed while checking out their Zeagle Stilettos that a couple in the class also had new Legend LX regs. I spoke...

I am debating two setups and would like your take on this. I have read a lot about the BP/W setups here and know there is a bias toward them here. Here are my choices: 1. Buy an inexpensive travel BI BC (I have chosen Genesis Tropic) AND a BP/W setup for local Lake Michigan diving with a SS...

I am a new diver and am interested in underwater photography. But even more so, I also tend to love just going slowly over a reef and peering at all the detail of the sea life. What do I need to learn to be able to dive solo for shallow reef dives? I would like to learn to dive deep for unique...

Thanks SB for all the help in my choosing a first computer! I went with the Atmos 2 wrist.

I have decided to include ScubaPro in my reg purchase list. I had decided on AL but need to give SP a look. I plan to do mostly warm water diving but may end up diving in Lake Michigan here in Chicago. I am sticking with these brands because of world wide service availability. Here are my...

Thanks to you all for the great info on regs here in this forum. I have decided to buy an Aqualung reg and am deciding between the Titan, Titan LX, and Legend. I am a recreational diver and will stay above 130ft mostly in warm water but could dive in non winter months in Lake Michigan...

My instructor made a remark that he uses a Polartec wetsuit because it is not bouyant. I am having trouble finding a wetsuit that explicitly says it is Polartec. What is an example of such a suit. This seems better than neoprene. Is this true? Thanks.
