Thanks guys! I appreciate all the information.

Hi people. So I purchased my first turret style 1st stage (D3 HOG). I was just about to start attaching hoses & it dawned on me that, in theory, it go either way. What I mean is, the turret could be positioned up (potentially a head banger?) or down toward the crown of the tank. Which is the...

Hi guys, need your help. I never had any luck with masks until I found the mini... So, I’ve been using a Scubapro frameless mini for about a decade now without issue. Except one, at day 4 of any dive trip the underside of my nose (the piece that separates your nostrils) gets painful! But I’ve...

Hi all, I was recently in the Caribbean and noticed a PADI specialty course offered, seemingly at every dive shop, for Lionfish hunting. I asked about it, it's a fully accredited course with a 2 dive requirement. I think it's a great idea! The more divers hunting them correctly the better. I...

Guys, THANK YOU! I mean that, thank you all! I'm simply going to take the course again... There is a different LDC not too far from home I don't mind paying twice for it. It's obvious that I wasn't "getting it" AND I do not want to take money from a LDC. I really do want to thank you all for...

Hi all, I've been diving for a few years but am new to nitrox. I completed the nitrox course & wanted to ask the real world brain trust found here. Couple of silly questions maybe, but here goes: All using nitrox changes is the amount of gas loading up in my body, right? It doesn't enable me...

I was just going thru my log book in preparation for an upcoming trip and just noticed that my O2 provider C card has expired. My question is this, what is involved in renewing it? Thanx Phil

First off, I'm still in the information gathering stage. The Halcyon traveller Who has one? What do you think of it? Will it fit in a carry on, (how flat does it pack)? Is it worth the money? In advance, I appreciate any input. Cheers Phil

I'd love to be at the staff Christmas party...

Lol. My best nonchalant walk, while I'm trying to put my shoes back on and keep my pants from falling down because my belt is in my teeth, as I try and put my watch back on. All the while hoping my passport is in the mess somewhere... :D It always amazes me how you can look like "Mr. World...

Thanks! I really appreciate the input. This is exactly the kind of information I was looking for! Now I know which options to consider. I just have to fine tune things in order to make a choice. Thanks again! Phil

i bought the Aeris travel fins because they do fit in my carry on. Travelled last week with them to Roatan. And while they are a lot more work in a current (compared to my ScubaPro twin jet max), they don't take up a lot of room. My biggest problem is that my LDS doesn't do BP/W. So the...

This might sound stupid but oh well... I want to travel with my dive kit AND my clothes etc... As carry on only. I don't want to check a bag! That is why the Aeris Jetpack has caught my eye, however, I must wait until the new Oceanic version comes out (with the tank lift issue fixed). After...

Hmmm... If the "new and improved" Oceanic version fixes the tank lift problem, I will wait a couple of months to see what shakes out. ---------- Post added December 23rd, 2014 at 06:29 PM ---------- i'll be honest, Crush. I had not even thought of going this direction. Mainly because I've...

Hi all! im looking at the Jetpack setup for travelling. I'm really taken with the idea of not having to check anything at the airport (that's right, I'm one of those "carry on only" guys). Ive done the standard searches on here & read about the tank lift problem. But all of the posts seemed to...

Thanx! Great course. Really enjoyed it.

Congrats! It's a great big wet world! Go get some...

It's simple really. My very first day of pool dives, I went home and called my dad to tell him about my new found passion. He was very encouraging & always interested. It was always our little joke, "Are you a Master Diver yet?" So now that he has passed away, I just want to get it to "complete...

Just to throw another option in the pot... Take a look at the Aries Accell fin. Same length as the F2. They will fit in a carry on(I've checked). I just used mine for the first time this past weekend & they preformed admirably! Great power to thrust ratio. Preformed well in various kick styles...

Thanks All! i have 2 specialties with no dives,(winters are long & boring in Canada!) I have the Equipment specialist course and the Nitrox diver course. I'm reading the part in bold & think that I qualify. If I don't, could one of you smart people let me know? I plan on taking the navigation...
