Would someone who owns an Oceanic Versa/VPRO/VEO that has the battery tool please measure the distance between the pins on the tool and let me know. I have a Sherwood Amphos Air and seem to have misplaced my battery tool. Seems like the only way you can get one from Sherwood is to purchase a...

So, my wife and I decided to take our son and daughter (and their new spouses) on a family vacation next year. Currently, I am the only diver in the family. My daughter and son-in-law are maybes and my son is a maybe. Wife and daughter-in-law definitely not. First and foremost, it's a family...

Just wondering if anyone has any experience (good or bad) with Alkin Compressors? It appears they are made in Turkey.

The thread "Historical Equivalencies" actually got me thinking about this. However, I felt I would be hijacking that thread if I posted this question there. So, I felt it appropriate to start a new thread. My question is, has PADI always had just OW and AOW? It was a long time ago that I first...

Until the other day, I had two Genesis HP 100 Steel tanks (3442 PSIG). If my research is correct, these are Sherwood tanks made in Japan. They are clearly stamped with "Japan". Two days ago, I had the opportunity to purchase two more HP 100 Steel tanks for a reasonable price (which I did). By...

I expect that @Steve_C will be the best person to answer this question as he seems to have a great number of dives out of Wilmington. But, I'll post anyway for all to comment. So, is there a general rule of thumb (i.e. wind/waves) for diving out of Wilmington where the forecast prevents the...

My daughter and son-in-law would like to start scuba certification. They live in the Baltimore area (Timmonium-Lutherville actually) and would end up doing their Open Water dives at Dutch Springs. My daughter told me that Dutch Springs is open until November and then reopens in April. My...

As many of you already know, I've recently returned to the sport after many years of absence. And, I do not have a lot of dives under my belt. However, I thought some folks may find this report helpful even though the weekend was nearly a bust. Since returning to scuba diving in late April of...

This seemed like the best place to ask this question. In another post I mentioned that at some point in the future I plan to dive the Cooper River. I've talked to a bunch of different folks about the Cooper regarding the logistics and techniques for diving the Cooper. I'm very detail oriented...

I did a search of the forums for this expecting that I could answer this quickly but, didn't find anything that specifically answered my question. First, I'm newly returned to diving after a long absence and I'm still on a big learning curve as far as new equipment. I currently have a Princeton...

So, I have an undergarment on order from my LDS. The undergarment will provide and equivalent 3mm of exposure protection and is neutrally buoyant. However, it has not come in and will not arrive before a planned dive this weekend. Currently, I only have a 3mm wetsuit. This weekend I'm planning...

After a long absence from the sport, I've recently started diving again. The only troubling part is that I find I'm still prone to motion sickness. I first discovered this many years ago when I was in the Navy. However, given that I was on submarines, it normally wasn't a problem. That being...
