    Random Sounds coming from Forum website

    I can't really say how long this has been happening but maybe a week or so (it took me a long time to figure where it was coming from), I get random quick sound clips from the Forum website. Generally it's only a quick 5-10 second bite but once there was probably a 20-30 second bite from Rooms...

    Divers rescued from Gulf

    I was just reading DandyDon's message about German diver rescued when this came on the news this morning... Sounds like they had a SMB and used it properly. 2 San Antonio divers rescued after missing in Gulf of Mexico | News - Home Jim

    BP/W configuration question

    OK all you BP/W gurus... I've been using a regular back inflate BCD and have also been using a Transpac. This winter I decided to piece together a Stainless Steel Plate/Wing configuration. I wanted to go with a SS Plate so I could reduce weights when diving in Salt Water. The plate weighs...

    Kudos to Jeff Overall and Polar Pro

    Early this year, I bought a Polar Pro Switchblade for my GoPro in preparation for a trip to Bonaire. The first dive I made, I stepped wrong and went down coming out of the water. The only fatality was my Polar Pro Switchblade. The red lens was smashed. My expensive filter was toast after...

    I just got an Email from Light and Motion (I guess I'm on their mail list) that the TV show "How it's Made" is going to show how the Sola 1200 Dive light is made. It's going to be Friday Oct 24, 2014 at 9:00PM Eastern time on the Discovery Channel. It's a pretty neat show and should be...

    Gear on Cruise

    Usually I only dive once on a cruise and just use their gear. This time I may be doing a couple of dives so I was wondering how many folks take their gear (other than snorkel, mask and fins which I always take)? It's a pain to haul all that stuff but I sure do like the familiar feeling of my...

    RCCL Cruise dive excursions

    I'm going on a cruise next month (Royal Caribbean Navigator) and want to get a few dives in. It's going to Cozumel, Belize, and Roatan. I've been to all three many times before but have never dived. My wife doesn't dive so even though there are dive excursions on each stop, I'm probably not...

    Oceanic 4.1 problem

    I had an interesting issue crop up today... Diving Nitrox 32 and had setup the computer gas at EAN32. First dive, no problem. Second dive at about 75 feet (not sure where it started), it started beeping like crazy. It kept telling me to come up. I saw no reason it would be telling me to...

    First Trip to Bonaire

    I'm going to Bonaire next month and will be at Buddy Dive. This is my first time there so I have no feel for the cost of food etc. there, and need to have an idea how much cash to bring for a week. No need to rehash all of the theft threads. Thanks... Jim
