I use corel video studio ultimate. It's pretty affordable and let's you do a good bit with good video output options.

Just won me a new scubapro equalizer BCD and did some test fitting and close inspection of it before I take my first time. I've noticed the left dump valve pull, the one that is part of the power inflator seems hard to pull. It does click open when you pull though, just the force needed seems...

Hello all, going to try and make this as clear as possible. Right now for the last few years, I have this tank pressure gauge, the Tusa SCA-150. It is a standalone gauge just for tank pressure. Tusa Tusa Guage I need to know if this will fit a different boot, or if it's proprietary, before I go...

Hello, I turned my Mares Abyss 22 in for its first service ever. Received it back today and the gentleman showed me the old parts and also said it was in great shape, almost no wear. He put all new parts in the 1st stage, 2nd stage, and the basically identical version of my Mares octopus. My...

Hey guys, just wanted to update ya'll, I brought it to the shop this morning and he hooked it up to the tester and got it fixed for me. No longer dribbles and flows like it did before. IP pressure was about 5 lbs too high so just a very slight decrease there (he turned a screw on the first...

Thank you for the heads up, will be watching it from now on. I just called a local dive shop who specializes with Mares and he's willing to look at it for free for me, he believes it's just a simple adjustment needed and will bench test everything for the pressures. If it turns out to be more...

I have the Mares Abyss 22 and the Mares Abyss Octopus. They are nearly identical, however the octopus is extremely sensitive. It has to be almost completely facedown in order to prevent it from freeflowing. If it's sideways even, sometimes it bubbles slowly while about 10-0 feet deep. It's hard...

Hello, just got my first dive computer, did some research and ended up with the TUSA Element 2. I have a TON of reading to do, the manual is not the easiest to follow. I haven't done my first dive with it yet, but I was messing around in the settings and now it's on, running in surface mode for...

Mares Abyss Octopus 416504 Mares Abyss 22 Regulator 416134 What does everyone think of this combo? I can get both around 600 dollars. Leisurepro likes to juggle their prices around I see. Going to get my certification in the next couple weeks and will be starting of diving in natural springs...

I'm in Florida, will be mostly spring diving, and some beach diving. Coldest water will be around 65-68 and then in the summer the ocean around the 80s.

Hello, going to get certified next week in scuba diving and putting together some items that I plan on buying after I get certified. I would like to know if the following items are pretty decent. First time, looking for more cheaper priced items, but nothing that will compromise my safety...

I called DAN on my lunch break and they told me it should be okay as long as I don't have any stenosis of my valve, which I don't. The DAN website looks really informative, looked over it some more, thanks. My prolapse is very mild. DAN gave me a number to a dive physician in the area, however...

I read over the DAN articles, they do cover it pretty well. Personally I think I'll be okay, but I will see my cardiologist one more time before I begin to be safe, and also call the DAN number and see about seeing a diving physician in the area before I begin to be safe. Better be safe than...

I have mild mitral valve prolapse. The doctor tells me I'm just fine and can continue living a normal healthy life. Does anyone have experience with this? I need to see him this month before I plan to dive though to get a signed release. I take a mild dose of beta-blockers, which helps with...

Hello! Names Daniel, here in Florida. I'm new to scuba, me and a work buddy plan on taking our first course in April. (Divepros in pensacola if anyone is familiar with them) We've already done some pre-reading in some books we bought on Amazon just to get the basics down. I'm very excited to...

Hello all, this is my first post here. Me and a work buddy want to take our basic open water course in April. We live in Florida, and will be taking the course in Pensacola. Just have a couple of questions. The course we want to take is a 2 weekend program. Fridays are course days, and the...
