    Dive Rite LX 20 diffuser

    Anyone have any experience with this light and the diffuser that Dive Rite says is designed to fit it? I find the light very loose. It falls off as soon as I put it on the light. Maybe an o-ring in there will help? Any ideas?

    Jacksonville area diving around Dec. 11-13

    Can't find the last thread I posted about this area, but who knows stuff might have changed. Definitely going to be in Jacksonville from Dec. 5 to 10 for work. No chance for dives on those days as the work is going to be pretty hectic. After that, though, I'd like to stick around and get some...

    BP/W questions

    Just put together my new purchase. Maybe an instructional video on putting it all together would be nice. Had to source a lot of different places, and if Deep6 offered that on their site people would probably be pretty thankful. Got the coated SS tank bands. Has anyone else got these? Did...

    Maintain your gear, and be FAMILIAR with how to use it

    Well I just lived through what is now going to be my "most frightening moment". I would have posted in that thread, but I think this deserves it's own discussion. It's a sobering reminder to service your gear regularly and be familiar with how to use it. Develop muscle memory so when the poo...

    Shearwater Teric vs. Perdix

    So here's the scoop. I have two Suunto Vypers (one that's 6 years old, the other 15) that are on their last legs. The younger one crapped out at the dive shop when I took some gear in for service. The older one hasn't (yet) but I figure it won't be too long as both developed issues with the...

    Older equipment

    Okay. So I've got a set of Apeks ATX 200's set up as a doubles rig that I'm thinking of buying to turn into a SM rig. Wouldn't take much. They've been serviced recently. Just need to add in an SPG on the one side. If I choose to use one in singles config I'm well prepared for that based on...

    Dry gloves for Whites Fusion Bullet

    Not sure how similar the Whites suit is when compared to the Aqua Lung suit (latex seals covered by a cuff you can roll over your gloves) but I am thinking of going dry for my gloves. What are the best options that don't include sending my suit in for permanent modification? Reason I don't...

    Suunto Vyper issues

    I have two older Suunto Vypers, one as a wrist and one as a console. Took both with me to Mexico a few weeks back. Had a few issues with them both: On multi-dive days in salt water, the second dive would be recorded as a much deeper depth than it actually was. In cenotes where we did...

    Honolulu in December

    Hi all. Planning a trip to the Honolulu area for December 14 to 23. Looking for some good diving. I'd need an insta-buddy or guide as none of my family dive (boo). Anyone have any decent suggestions? Also, we're looking at renting a condo that will accommodate around 13 people. If anyone...

    Wreck diving in BC

    Hey guys. Several parts to this question, so I might as well begin with the background: Flatlander (Saskatchewan) looking to do some wreck diving in BC. HMCS Saskatchewan is kind of a bucket list item for me, just because. Not interested in stopping there, though..... Newer diver, just got...

    Pinnacle Polar M8 8mil wetsuit

    Anyone have any experience with these? Got one on the way. Liked that it was lined with merino, reviews seemed good.

    Jacksonville in November

    Greetings from the great white north. (Saskatchewan) New diver, just certified OW in January down in PDC. I'm going to be down in Jacksonville for work in November some time, and I'd like to get a few dives in after I'm done (will stay a few extra days after the work stuff is all done.) I'll...

    Buying some new gear (some time soon)

    Getting some new fins, boots, odds and ends (DSMB and a few other things like that) and probably a 9/7/6 XCel suit with a hood because apparently I'll need one that thick when we start lake diving in May-ish. Then I'll need a 5 mm suit for the summer as the water "warms up" a bit. (I miss...

    New guy looking for weighting advice

    Okay, here goes. Did my OW in Playa with a full 3mm wetsuit and rental gear. They had me running with 28 lbs of weight. (20 on a belt, 8 in pockets as the BCD wasn't weight integrated.) Maybe I'm just too new, but I thought that worked fine. Get home, buy my own gear (AquaLung Axiom i3 BC, 8...
