    Looking for computer options

    I'm looking for my first computer. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a computer that will evolve from my current recreational status to some of the technical diving I plan on in a few years. By technical I mean deep and nitrox, not necessarily trimix. I'm not sure what information you'll...

    Rubber weight belt

    Anyone know of a cheap place to get these? I'm a college kid, and I sort of sunk all my fun money into my dss BP/w and cannot really afford $45 for a mako, but I need one. Are there any alternatives? Thanks

    Quick Release pockets not so quick.

    I was wondering if I was doing something wrong here? Defiantly cannot dump weight with the little tab, but can just open the pocket about 50 times faster. Thanks

    Short fat kid needs a plate

    I'm 5'11 and come at about 240pounds on most days. I was wondering if I needed to take any special considerations on plate selection. Also, I do a lot of diving in cold water in a 7mm suit. Last time I wore this suit it took about 25 pounds to get neutral or slightly negative. I was leaning...

    Relocating to Dearborn, Michigan

    I'm a senior graduating in May and relocating to Dearborn to work for Ford Motor Company. I was looking for some good dive shops in the area, as well as some good "beginner" dive sites so that I can ease my Fiance back into diving. I'm not scared of the cold water at all, but she's probably...

    DST fifth LP port.

    Do I need to buy an adaptor to use this port? If I do, can I install it or do I have to have the local steal your dollar shop do it?

    Non pull style low pressure inflator?

    My LPI has the wire run on the inside to dump air, nut it sticks out on the back of the wing. This causes tank mounting problems for me. Is there a non pull style that lays flat on the wing? I have a Stiletto by the way.

    "More" technical position

    I'm having problems being comfortable in a "technical" form. By that I'm meaning with feet at or above the same level as my head. I also feel very leg heavy so when I'm neutral, if I'm not moving around, my feet hang lower than the rest of my body. I keep thinking "add a little more weight...

    AI vs NON-AI

    I can't seem to find any posts that compare the differences, or advantages/disadvantages of air integration. I'm starting to do the research on my first computer and want to buy something that can grow with me through my advanced training. I'm not really looking for tech related answers because...

    Tool kit

    I need a link or something to a good tool kit for minor gear repairs. Something with the wrenches and Allen wrenches. I'm on a mobile phone that I hate otherwise I would just look myself.

    BC inflator hose length?

    I do not have tank to mount on my BC so I can measure to see how long of an inflator hose that I need to get. The corrugated hose is 19". I'm thinking 24 or 26 would work, but I do not want to have all sorts of hose hanging outside of my profile. Any help making that decision would be greatly...

    Weight question. Possible DIY.

    So I'm doing som research on soft weights and DIY applications and such. Would I be correct in assuming that a normal 5 pound lea weight is indeed 5 pounds negative? And that a pouch with lead shot is slightly less negative than 5 pounds because of the pouch? So my DIY thought. I was looking...

    In need of a dealer.

I need a Large Shoulder strap for the Stiletto that just showed up at my front door (like 20 minutes ago). The medium straps that are on it fit, without any room to...
