You are lucky to be diving there, I've dove a few times with Rick. The wrecks are great dives to do once you get qualified. Even the shore dives I found to be fun, catching and releasing lobster and chasing around some of the fish, the Bell is also a good dive. You can find a lot of divers meet...

I can and have used three diiferent tank set-ups in the last two years, single , doubles and rebreather. I went with a steel and have the additional side plates that can be added to the plate. I use a crushed neoprene drysuit and thick underwaer for the cold water I have been in, both fresh and...

I was on there last year just after the islands were getting high waves from a storm. The surge was quite strong so it was a different experience for me. Swinging anywhere from four to eight feet was a challege. The dive sites were O.K. but didn't see much for larger creatures. We were able to...

I would check out some of the GUE or DIR stuff or the teck or solo sections. You will find there is a lot on having redundant equipment is case sh_t happens.

You may want to look at a harness similar to the DUI Weight and Trim, I have used one and find that supporting the weight on your shoulders is much easier and you are not having to keep the belt tight on your waist. I used to almost have a belt fall off if I did not re-tighten it at depth.

I just finished my Meg training in Nanaimo, diving the Saskatewan and Cape Breton ships. I would highly recommend more people try out the units. The diving was great, and wanted to stay for a few more days but had to get back to work. Hopefully can get out there again in a few months.

When shipping to Canada When shipping an item to Canada it is better to send by using the post office rather than a courier. I have been able to get some excellent used equipment from members in the states. The problem is usually with shipping cost. I have no problem paying a customs/duty...
