    Wing and Octopus position

    hmmm.... That makes sense. The two times in my life when buddies had a problem underwater and needed air from me, it has been my primary 2nd stage they took from my mouth, leaving me with my secondary. There was no Donate involved. Glad they are rethinking that whole octopus is for your buddy...

    The luggage weighting game

    I recently made a trip to Isla Mujeres off Cancun, and it was really hard staying under the baggage weight limit for that trip. On the way back, I got snagged for being over weight on my checked bag and had to carry one of my fins with my carry on to avoid fees. Whats the point of that? Its...

    OceanLog vs Diverlog for Windows and Oceanic Pro Plus X compatibility

    I just picked up three new ProPlus X computers and have questions about whether OceanLog software will support the PPX. It looks like from the Oceanic site on the PPX page that it should, but it is not stated so, and the PPX is not available on the pulldown in OceanLog. It looks like I may...

    Just wanted to let divers know about this awesome deal I got. I was diving Isla off Cancun at night and my ProPlus 2 Glow did not glow anymore. Couldn't back light my computer. When I got back home, I brought my computers (3) to my local Oceanic Dealer and asked to send in and get repaired...

    Dream BCD With Superiour Weight System. Is it out there?

    Yes, that actually helps a lot. You quite simply answered my original question with a possible solution. Thank you. I will check out the DUI Weight and Trim. I have the two Zeagles on the way. I picked up a pocket belt for my son. I had the guy swap the AIR2 off my sons BC and put it on...

    Dream BCD With Superiour Weight System. Is it out there?
