    Question OTS Guardian "Riding Up"

    Master Scuba Diver with FFM certification. Only a few OW dives in with the Guardian. Love the concept, overall. Question: Relaxed, in my living room, I spent over an hour adjusting the nosepiece in order to get a good position for underwater clearing and nose-breathing. On the dive boat, I...

    Corrective Lenses for Frame

    I know I can purchase the OTS corrective lenses insert for the Guardian FFM... but I'm curious how I would go about getting actual corrective lenses to fit into the holder. Will the lenses sit right against my face like a typical pair of classes? Will the optician need to correct for distance...

    SS at 10ft or 20ft -- Why not standard 15ft?

    On all my guided boat dives, the dive master/guide has always done a 3 minute SS at 15 feet. Always. I just bought the Perdix AI yesterday and found that it only allows SS settings at 10ft or 20ft. I'm curious about the rationale for this and whether one is "more right" than the other (computer...

    New Port Richey, Florida???

    I'll be traveling to New Port Richey, Florida (west coast) in July. I see several dive shops in the immediate area, but none seem to offer regular, daily dive trips. Can anyone recommend a dive outfit in that area that offers regular, daily diving in that area? I won't be able to travel more...

    NOW Jade Cancun

    Has anyone here been diving from the NOW Jade Cancun resort? Curious to know who the dive operator is and whether the diving is any good. Is there a dock on the property or is it wading in to the boat? Quality of rental gear? Also curious about the general quality of the resort, while we're at it.

    La Romana

    Considering a stay at the iberostar in La Romana this coming Christmas break. Would love to get some feedback from anyone with experience diving with Dressel at that resort. I've done many dives with Dressel at other locations and have been impressed with the overall quality of the company, so...

    Ft. Lauderdale Diving? Enough To See?

    My son and I are looking for a FL dive trip at the end of July. We've done Key Largo several times, and are looking for something new for us. I see there are a number of dive shops/boats in the Laurderdale area. Has anyone used them? Recommendations? What about other areas like West Palm Beach...

    Punta Cana

    Heading to the DR next week, staying in Punta Cana. I know the better diving is on the south side of the island... but we're not staying on the south side of the island. Looking for current dive conditions in the PC area. Any updates would be great. Thanks.

    Emergency Documents?

    Some time back I recall reading in one of the forums on ScubaBoard about suggestions from an actual Search & Rescue pilot for emergency paperwork to have with you, and to leave behind with a dive-coordinator (shop owner, boat captain, etc) in the event of some anomaly while diving (don't surface...

    Pre-set Text Messages?

    Okay... so I know there are a hundred+ things we can "say" to our buddies underwater through hand signals... or could write on a slate... or I could just learn sign language... BUT... IF you had the option to pre-program a variety of text messages into your wrist computer (like I can with the...

    Galaxy o-ring placement?

    According to the Intova website it says that the threads and o-rings should be greased regularly. Okay... so I removed the light head to charge the battery, and took the opportunity to remove the o-rings for light greasing. However, once greased, I'm honestly not sure which grooves should be...

    Riviera Maya water temp

    Will be diving in Riviera Maya over Xmas with dive shop at Gran Sirenis. Anyone know current water temp at depth (presuming 40-90 feet). I don't normally wear a wetsuit if temp are mild, so wondering if I should pack my 3mm full, rent a shorty (if they have them), or go without.

    Tipping

    I realize all of the passionate responses are good for the posters based on their own personal experiences... and that's all I was looking for. We all, apparently, see things from our own perspective regarding how the instructors and DM's are to be viewed (and, perhaps, valued). Personally, I...
