Wanted a Sea&Sea VMC-75 2.5 inch monitor in good working order, ideally setup to fit VX-950PRO housing. If you have one you're interested in selling please let me know. Thanks, Grey_Wulff

Recently a team of San Diego divers went about filming the annual squid run that happens off the Southern California coast. This webpage, www.sunray-productions.com/squid, presents five short videos and a write-up about this remarkable event. The videos feature squid congregating under the...

I have about 100 dives on my 94lb lift double bladder OMS wing doing rec and tech diving. Here's my experience, good and bad: 1) The wing has loads of lift, covers all circumstances. After I adjusted several of the bungees I find trim is excellent. The wing may create a little more drag in...

Yes, you're correct. In an e-mail to another local diver I described it was being located north of the Main Wall peninsula and south of the North Wall and Secret Garden but you could certainly describe it as west of the Secret Garden. I was diving very close to that area at the approximate...

Assuming we're talking about the same buoy, I believe it is a training buoy. The buoy has been in place for some time. The first time I became aware of the buoy was in March '08 when a dive buddy of mine said she had dropped down the line with an instructor during a night dive. The buoy is in...

Not wishing to speculate but there are a number of reasons they could have got to 150ft at the Shores. A few that come to mind include. Firstly, they planned to dive that deep. If this was the case they made a very poor decision. Secondly, they might have swam out to far on the surface and...

I was diving at the Shores during the tradegy. The first I knew there was something wrong was when a free-diver attempted to get me to surface in 40ft of water. With considerable deco to run off I indicated I was staying down. A similar thing then happened in 25ft of water - now I was getting...

I thought long and hard about shelling out so much money for a drysuit, particularly when there are brands that sell for half the price both in the USA and UK. Anyway, to cut a long story short, two years ago I finally bought an off-the-shelf CF200. I could not be more pleased. The suit is...

Greetings, Has anybody bought or had experience of using the Deep Outdoors Cold Fusion LED Canister light. I'm thinking of buying a canister and this one is particularly appealing relating to small size and durability of LEDs. I would be very interested to hear your experiences, good or...

Thanks for the additional information. Grey_Wulff

Liquidvisions, The housing for the GS250 and GS500 appear to be the same (according to the Oceam Images website) so I'm definately interested in hearing more about your experience if you have a moment. I have quite a few questions: How do you find the buoyancy characteristics? How easy...

Thanks for your reply and the information on other housing possibilities, I'll definately look into those. Grey_Wulff

I have a Panasonic GS500 video camera and I have been considering underwater housings. Does anyone have expereience of using an Ocean Images housing with this video camera. If you do, would you mind telling me about your expereinces. Before I go and spend a load of money I'd like to know both...

I'm looking for an underwater housing for a Panasonic GS500 video camera. If you're looking to sell one, please let me know what you have, its condition and how much you want. Some pictures would be great as well. Thanks for looking, Grey

IMHO I would go with a 19cft pony. Easy to mount on a single tank, not very heavy, just about enough gas to get you up from 130ft in an emergency and totally redundant to your main tank. I nearly always dive with one, I even took it to Cozumel last year - had to take the valve out for...

All, Thanks for all the posts guys. Some great information and it will go a long way to helping me pick my doubles reg setup. Grey_Wulff

I'm also in the process of putting together my first set of doubles. We're starting tech training shortly and both courses we're considering require a minimum 200cf setup. Thus, I'll be doubling my HP100's rather than doubling either set of my 80's. Grey_Wulff

My local LDS has a good deal on new MK16 / G250, so one step back in technology from the MK17/G250HP. Anybody has experience on comments on using these units for backgas?

So do you have any recommendation for any particular brands that offer better porting and hose routing?
