These things are impossible to find. I feel like the G85 is great dive option. I wish Seafrogs or Meikon made something for this rig. Frustrating.

Just got back from Aruba. Based on ScubaBoard recommendations, I dove with Clive (DiveAruba) and I'm glad I did. We dove on a pair of wrecks: the Pedernales and the Antilla and it was an awesome day. Clive is a cool guy and a plain-speaker who meticulously runs his small, privately-owned dive...

Last June, they were everywhere in the Gloucester/Rockport area (keepers). I recall dving in Folly Cove (the middle is sandy) and grabbing good-sized flounder with my hands just to see if I could (I did.) On one dive in Salisbury, I was with a guy who grabbed one by the tail and put it in his...

I've been daydreaming about a Beluga encounter after TWO news reports that they're in Massachusetts waters (same one, maybe?)! How incredible would it be to be visited by one of these guys on a dive? I've heard a few stories (on facebook) from New England divers who have had very friendly...

Hey Chris- I researched this recently as I really want to go scallop diving. I got the same feedback that you did - that boat traffic is making the most popular scallop diving pretty unsafe up here during the Summer months. I know there's another charter out of Cape Ann that will take you, but...

This made me laugh.

Looks good, Rich. I'm a fan of the occasional "dive selfie" mixed in there while shooting these kinds of vids. I use the Hero3 white, too (magenta filter). Great little camera.

Nice work. I like the way you edited this. Especially, the fade-to-black transitions and the relaxed, sparse narration. Simple, but original.

It's very wide, with a concentrated circle in the middle. Thanks.

I just put together this GoPro rig... It uses the Cree UltraFire XML-T6 Dive Torch. I read mixed reviews on it, but I am amazed at how bright this thing is for a small, cheap light. I bought it online for $20 (and the batteries/charger cost an additional $10.) It's billed as a 1600LM light and...

You win. I got them for $60 each and they need Hydro.

Sweet! Thanks.

Hi all, I just bought a couple of used tanks pretty cheap. I know they need hydro (and the seller said he'd refund me if they failed or were scrap). I believe these to be '01 Luxfer AL 80s. From what I've read, these shouldn't be rejected at the door at my LDS, right? (Whether they fail...

I'm totally a budget diver. My cheap-o set-up: - Mares Flexa 8.6.5 suit (this is my biggest splurge)... $209 at Diver-Supply (regularly goes for 350+ - Mares Puck computer... $79 NEW from LeisurePro via eBay - Cressi Aquapro BC... $80 (eBay)... had it serviced for $30. Came with a few...

I dove with this suit for the first time yesterday (Folly Cove, Gloucester MA). Water temps were 43-49F. I used the Mares Flexa 6mm hood and gloves, too. I was in the water for about 45 minutes for two dives. I'm glad I bought this suit. It's extremely comfortable and I was plenty warm...

Had to look it up... san·guine ˈsaNGgwin/ adjective adjective: sanguine 1. optimistic or positive, especially in an apparently bad or difficult situation. Thanks! You learn something every day.

Thanks for all the insight. There's a lot of thoughtful info here and I appreciate it.

Hi - I've been using a US Divers 1st stage/2nd/octo and it's reliable and in excellent shape. My only issue is that my 2nd stage isn't easily adjustable- and it tends to free flow on occasion. If I wanted to upgrade the 2nd stage, but not my first stage, would that matter? That is, are there...

Mine is on backorder at DiversSupply (swiped it for $200 new!). Should be coming this week. I'll post a review after a couple cold water New England Spring dives.

I love diving Canoe Beach. It's beautiful
