Hi. I'm wondering if anyone might have a clue as to what could cause a person's ears to ring with a high pitch constantly for (so far) about a month. I think I may have injured myself fresh water diving at about 1500 feet above sea level. I was down only for about 30 minutes lifting some...

So I bought a set of Apeks regs (ATX50/40 DS4) and jumped in the pool (hehe) to test em out. I'm lying on my back on the bottom (just relaxing) and, cough, my new second stage is leaking. She breathes perfect in all other positions though (deep at the bottom of that 7' pool). Now I...

I just ordered a Cobra, but I think I'm going to cancel it and go with an analog depth, air, and compass console and wrist-mounted non-air integrated comp instead. I'm thinking that going with analog gauges and maybe the Vytec wrist unit would give me everything the Cobra has to offer and more...

I have a Cobra and am wondering what additional instruments I should combine with it. Do you use a dive watch, another computer on your wrist, something else, or is your Cobra (or similar) all you need? If you're using an additional instrument(s), what is your reason? Thanks a lot!

I posted this in the basic scuba discussion section, but I thought maybe people who read and answer questions in this section might have additional insight. Here's a copy of my post. Sorry for the redundancy: I finished my AOW dives today. The first dive we did was to 100 feet. The...

Which would be the better choice for single tank wet suit rec diving (not too much of a load to push around)? Graphite is supposed to have a different feel than black, which is supposed to give a more "standard" fin feel. Which did you choose and why? Thanks!

After reading all the posts on this board recommending LP 104s, I decided to look into it. My LDS (Sport Chalet) says 300 bar DIN valves are NOT available for LP tanks. They say you have to go with a 200 bar DIN valve. Is this a bunch of crap? :newbie: P.S. On this upcoming Memorial...

Simplyscuba sells this bag for around $160. Seems like it has all the right features (looks cool too). If you own it or have seen it, Is it quality? How are the zippers. ect.? :confused:

A lot has been said about the DS4 and the reasons that technical divers use it, but I'm just a newbie rec diver. Would combining an ATX 50 with a DS4 be a good first rig for rec diving? Any thoughts on the pros and cons would be appreciated! :out:

Would you buy an LP 120? I'm a recreational diver, wear a wet suit, do both beach and boat dives, and most of my current dive buddies rent their tanks (AL 80s). I've decided to go with Pst LPs and I think 104s are the way to go, but is there any reason to get a 120? Doing the math, it...

How much water do you have in your BC after a typical dive? I get about an 8 oz glass full (more or less). I assume the water gets in when I dump. Of course, I've noticed other divers have to pour water out after a dive, but it seems like I always have more. ;-0 I inflated my BC...

Would you buy a dive computer online? I think it's a little risky. If the thing doesn't work when you first take it out of the box, you can send it back because most online dive stores will accept faulty merchandise under their return policy, right? If there's a minor malfunction...

Hi everyone! I'm getting set to buy my first reg/octo setup and could use your advice. Like most people who are in the market for new dive gear, I read all the reg reviews I could find and talked with a couple local dive shops and to my dive buddies and instructors, but I was still pretty...
