    Looking for our next trip

    Most of our diving is in a quarry in Illinois or the Florida Keys and we just got back from Curaçao. We really enjoyed the Coral, walls but missed the bigger things like sharks, rays, turtles and even just the bigger fish. Is there a destination in the Caribbean or Mexico that combines those 2...

    Aqualung I100 wont change gas

    Any ideas on why I can't get my computer to change gas, its set on air and want to set it for Nitrox but its won't give me the option. All the other settings can be adjusted, it has not gone into any kind of violation.

    Nitrox for 20 dives in 5 days?

    I am heading to the Keys next month, hopefully, and we will be doing 20 dives over 5 days, mostly reef with 1 or 2 wrecks. As shallow as most of the diving is would you use nitrox? I ask cause we are not nitrox certified so we would need to take the class before our trip.

    I am diving a Dive Rite BP/W with a STA, my first stage is a DIN with yoke adapter. I tend to hit my head on my first stage more than I would like but can live with it. I was thinking of getting a wing with built in roll control to eliminate the sta during travel but I'm worried this will move...

    I recently recieved an email from the people I was supposed to be renting a house from for a week in July on Duck Key stating that she can no longer rent to me because the county told her she has to cancel all reservations that are less than 28 days and they must get a special permit.

Just wondering if it holds the tank in place as well or if it seems to move around...
