Hi, I am in the market for a new BC. My current one is 15 years old (Aqua Lung Seaquest Diva), still in great shape, but I'm ready for a new one and interested in a back inflate. I'm looking at the new Aqua Lung Lotus - not the i3 version. Anybody have this, and can give their feedback? I'm...

My husband and I did our first dives at Brac yesterday. The Cobalt functioned properly, although I am not sure I like how difficult it is to read it at 20ft and above, with the added light it is hard to read. Will see how Ieel after today's diving.

Okay thanks Ron. It looked like yet another issue when I saw the surface time/no fly time. The dive shop exchanged my Cobalt for another one they had in stock, but I think it may be an earlier version? Serial number begins 0114. The Cobalt from Atomic factory in Salt Lake is supposed to arrive...

And yet ANOTHER glitch....now my Cobalt is telling me I have a surface time of 6:11 and no fly time of 17.49. IS IT EVER GOING TO END? I am now regretting not sticking with the Aeris A300.... ---------- Post added September 3rd, 2014 at 07:17 PM ---------- Dr. Lecter, I did say the customer...

Tried downloading at work, still had problems. Called Atomics and talked with Adan. Very helpful, walked me though the download. Got it done, and at the last minute he said "oh what does your atmos pressure say?" I look, and report that it is at 163, and rapidly winding down...down....down....to...

How do I know if my computer has the latest 2.26 firmware? ---------- Post added September 3rd, 2014 at 07:00 AM ---------- Just looked at my settings, I have version 2.12

Thanks Ron. It gets a bit overwhelming reading all the posts on different computers. Everybody has an opinion, and you have to sift through the comments, consider the source, and ultimately form your own opinion. I had intended originally on getting the Cobalt 2, and was swayed by my husband and...

I've had a Cobra 2 for several years. Not a bad computer, but extremely conservative and not intuitive at all -- always had to get the manual out before each dive trip and review at length b/c otherwise it is almost impossible to remember how to program and get to different functions unless you...

Hi Clay, I have to admit that I am very biased in favor of Explorer Ventures now after our trip in April. It will be very difficult for another liveaboard to "live" up to the experience we had on the CEXII :-) I had absolutely no complaints and only praise for the crew, food, accommodations and...

Hi, My husband and I were seriously considering the Carib Dancer for this spring, but after reading emails about all the problems on recent trips AND especially the response from the owners, I have no desire to book this itinerary/boat. I'm looking for recommendations on a liveaboard in Turks...

I'm looking at getting a new BCD. My current one is a SeaQuest Diva QD, and while I have loved this BC, I purchased it in 1999 and it is finally time to replace it. I've heard great things about back inflate BC's, and my LDS has a Halycon that looks very sturdy and minimalist, which I like. It...

Funny, because I AM from New York. Grew up outside Albany in Delmar. Still consider myself a Yankee :D

We were on the CEXII in late April. Wonderful trip. Our first LOB, and will definitely do more. Agree with Frank that Saba was good diving, but St. Kitts had poor viz. All in all, though, a fantastic experience. Boat is clean and well taken care of, very comfortable, and Sarah was the chef and...

I'm a fan of quiet. But then again, I plan on being in the water most of the time. Hope you don't plan on playing music late at night.

Hi from Lexington KY :D My husband and I have been diving since 1999, although we took a few years off to go back to school in 2003. We've been back diving regularly for the last 5-6 years. Did our first liveaboard this spring on the Caribbean Explorer II out of St. Kitts/Saba. I am hooked on...
