    Length of boat ride to dive sites and surface conditions?

    I use the patch + bonine for every boat ride. One tip about the patch - after applying it put some tape over it. The tape will keep it on your neck - I would find it gone after a 2 tank dive. Also I think it stops the medicine from leaking into the sea. I use a white tape from Johnson & Johnson...

    Looking for Cancun Info

    My first ocean dives were with scubacancun.com.mx in 2012. I thought they did a great job. If I was going back to Cancun I would look at them again. We got on the bus at our hotel and a bus stop was really close to their operation. I did three days of diving with them and did other tourist...

    Whale shark - Isla Mujeres question

    Last June I went to Cozumel with Scubaboard. My wife wanted to see the whale sharks, so we booked Our flights a day early, and booked a hotel on Isle Mujeree. We booked with www.islewhalesharks.com. Did PayPal for our deposit. I wish I could tell you how great is was but... there was a big...

    Is Deep Sea Supply out of business

    They have been doing a move form CA to NV. So for now yes, maybe they will reopen later

    Half blind divers, how do you do it?

    Both my wife and I use SeaVision. It is really nice to see underwater! Best single piece of dive equipment we have. (Cause if you can’t see - what’s the point???)

    Scuba Gear Package - Where to start?

    Look used - we purchased both my and my wife’s set used for $500 each. BC, regs, computer, bags, weights, plus a bunch of “little” stuff. Both times it was local people getting rid of equipment they didn’t use anymore(had not dived for 4+ yrs or so)Both lightly used. Even factoring the costs of...

    Dive Shop for cruise passengers

    In September my brother will be in Cozumel off a cruise ship. He asked me what is a good dive shop to use (his cruise line did not have a dive excursion). The ship will be in from 8am to 5pm. He wants to do a 2 tank dive - needs full gear and he is a beginner (this will be his 3rd and 4th...

    Requested feature for Perdix AI

    Joneill thanks for the tip that it’s already there. I had read that part of the manual - but I missed the practical application of what the technical stuff was telling me. (Now if it had said something like “buddy monitoring”...)

    Requested feature for Perdix AI

    We just got back from a week in Cozumel with our new Perdix AI’s. I loved them (once I got over my own mistakes). Both my wife (my buddy) and I have them. It got me thinking of a feature I would like on them. Because we are recreational divers we never have 2 tanks.i would like a buddy dive...

    BP/W Plus Accessories vs BCD

    My experience: I got a DSS (Deep Sea Supply) BP/wing I got Tobins harness slide so I can loosen up the left side ( I like it a lot - there are others out there that I am sure I would like too). For weight I got the SS backplate - so I only use a few pounds of lead - I just use a belt. I did get...

    Messed up my OW dive - advice for the future please?

    Think about finishing up in warmer waters in a wetsuit instead of a Drysuit. Panic, ripping off mask and shooting to surface is not a good thing to do. But your instructors share in that too. You were not instructed properly for you. Look for better teachers.

    Gray & Yellow Transmitter

    Ok I have to own up to our mistakes. After we got everything set-up we labeled the Perdix’s. Somehow we labeled them backwards. My wife was surprised that she was using more air than me. Well we got it figured out - swapped transmitter. And now they seem to be working just fine. Forrest...

    Gray & Yellow Transmitter

    I think this is what happened to us today. We are down in Cozumel (with the scubaboard invasion party). I tried to buy the yellow transmitter from my dive shop, but the didn’t have it and told me it wasn’t available. Anyway, on our dives all of a sudden we would lose connections with our...

    ‘finclip’ - anyone else try these?

    My wife and I got them and have used them on one dive (gotta get wet more). I really liked them on the first dive! I am very inflexible, so any help in that area helps me a lot. They seemed to work well. We have a week dive trip in Coz in June - so I will have a lot of time with them then.

    Diving and altitude

    I doubt you will find much that gives you an ok - if you decide to do your diving and then your altitude trip - do everything you can to minimize your nitrogen load. Dive with Nitrox, stay a bit shallow, end a bit early, don’t push NDL, etc. Also have a plan to get off the mountain if you start...

    Newbie from land locked Utah

    Hello from someone in the same state! While none of the water here on the best day is as good as a vacation dive, be sure and try out some of the local waters. Blue lake Sand hollow Flaming Gorge Sea Base Midway Crater These are the ones I have done - they make good practice. Welcome aboard...

    Gray & Yellow Transmitter

    i just got my Perdix AI . My wife’s will get hers next month. As I was reading the setup manual, it says that if you are diving with 2 transmitters have one a gray and one a yellow, so the signals don’t clash. Since we dive together, should we also get the gray and yellow, or will 2 gray ones...
