Yeah, the ABS I own is admittedly a piece of garbage. Out of the water, it is really uncomfortable to breathe from. In the water, it's better but still not "good", and there are no adjustment features at all. When I was putting my Octo together, cash was a little tight but I got a good deal...

Yeah, that's pretty much what he was saying. If I went deep, it could cause a free flowing reg, or something. Thanks for clarifying it for me guys! How deep are we talking here? I rarely go under 110 feet but I'm looking to get my wreck cert, so I might go a bit deeper in a few months. Is it...

Hey folks... I was talking to a guy at the dive shop about my octo, and said that I was running an Aqua Lung Legend, with an Aqua Lung ABS alternate. He told me that I might have problems with this setup, since the Legend is a balanced reg, and the ABS isn't. Is this something I should be...

Yeah, sorry. The police aren't going to arrest a state Senator without some solid evidence. He may beat the rap at trial, but he's guilty of something...

Even worse is the fact that he was one of the state's most active gun control legislators, and he was busted for running guns. Hypocrisy knows no bounds!!!

Yup! Senator Leland Yee has been arrested on charges of bribery, wire fraud, and weapons trafficking! Good guy, though... :shakehead: State Sen. Leland Yee, former Chinatown gang leader 'Shrimp Boy' arrested | abc7news.com

I was going to try to stay around the $100 mark, if possible. That might not be realistic, if what I'm seeing online is any indicator... :(

Hey guys. I have a pair of fins that I use for Scuba, and they didn't work very well for Abalone diving last year. I want to get something better for freediving but that I might still be able to use for Scuba. The water will be cold, so I want open back fins to accommodate boots. Any suggestions?

Just my .02 but you should put your Mares Icon on Craigslist, sell it "as is", and use the money to buy something more reliable. I have the Mares Icon MRS, and the bladder popped with less than 30 dives on it. I am shopping around for a BPW setup so that I never have to use mine again. It's an...

Yeah this..^^^ Even worse than the actual issue itself is Mares' lack of dealing with the issue appropriately. My BCD was out of warranty by only 3 months, and they wouldn't warranty the product, even though it's an obvious defect, and/or design flaw. I hope they enjoy the $100 for the...

I was on the Magician yesterday and they received a call from another boat saying that a diver was missing. It was a smaller boat, and I don't remember the name but the coast guard and LA county sent helicopters for the search. Didn't hear if they had ever found him/her. The incident occurred...

True, but it takes a while. Plus, you can just do an update and it goes back on... Better than doing nothing!

Can I suggest that any (or all) of you who have issues, please file a Yelp review about him, as well? Right now, he's carrying 3.5 Stars, which isn't very bad. Unsuspecting customers could wander into his shop to check it out. I'd just as soon see a "Going out of business" sign on the front of...

I saw this thread and had to chime in. Here is the gist of my experience with Rusty and his shop: Went to the school back in November; I was not impressed!!! Rusty is very pushy and mouthy. Acts like a "know it all", which I don't personally respond to very well. If you ask him "What time is...
