    Calibration issue on OCi

    UPDATE: just received a brand new OCi from Huish as a replacement for the defective one I sent in for warranty repair. Not the fastest turn around but at least they took care of me.

    Looking for dive buddy and/or club - Recently moved to Delray Beach

    Jeff, I'm rather new to the area myself and just started my AOW cert through Force-E (have my OW and EANx) I'll be looking to get out more often too but need a buddy as my wife is not (yet) certified. PM me if you want to exchange info and possibly plan a dive or two. I have 3 more dives of...

    I'm a newbie who tried a BP/W for the first time today...

    Welcome to the dark side... I knew just because when I used jackets for DSD dives a few times that I would go BP/W when I got my own gear. I definitely love the minimalist aspect.

    Wanted Long Shot - WTB Worthington X7-100

    Thanks @tbone1004 Unfortunately, they blew them out in the first couple of hours after posting on FB. I called and he went and looked but reported that they didn't have any left.

    Wanted Long Shot - WTB Worthington X7-100

    Looking for anyone in the South Florida area that happens to want to get rid of one of their HP100s. Preferably looking for a Worthington X7-100 but might be talked into a Faber HP100 I know it's a long shot given the fondness for the X7-100s but figured I'd put it out there and see if anyone...

    What is the "normal" cost for the Nitrox class?

    As someone else mentioned, I cannot fathom how they could fill 5 hours with the information contained in the Nitrox Books/DVD. I bought the books to have for reference which contained tables for EANx32 and 36 plus the DSAT O2 exposure and Equivalent Air Depth tables. I did the exercises...

    What is the "normal" cost for the Nitrox class?

    my 2psi is that I paid about $80 for the EAN books after my instructor told me they 'include' Nitrox with AOW if I wanted to go that route. It sounds like there is quite a bit of discretion on the cost of the Nitrox cert. I think it also depends on whether the shop's price includes any dives...

    First dive light.

    @stuartv - my Xtar was delivered the other day. I finally got around to unboxing it last night and realized it does not come with a battery (makes sense coming from ebay - China). What brand of 26650 battery have you found to be the best for the Xtar? Do you prefer the single use or...

    Calibration issue on OCi

    Update - a little late but just wanted to keep this post updated until I get through this issue: Contacted both Huish Outdoors and the shop. Shop said they'd handle it but would be sending back to Huish under warranty Asked shop if it would be a faster turn around to just sent to Huish and...

    Conrats, @avfcmichael - Yeah, I'm going to try to get AOW done as soon as I can. Hopefully will be back in the water Thursday or Friday this week just diving and start AOW the following weekend. I'm actually out in Pittsburgh sitting around with the movers packing up our household effects...

    Hi there! with some newbie questions(trim)

    I don’t have much else to add except to say that your English is very good and I wish I had some video of my open water dives so I could see how my trim was. I just got my c-card last weekend and my first 2 dives I felt like I was in the same position as you (head high). My second 2 dives I...

    VDH wing and bladder

    We’ll have to wait until they are back in stock. I’ll probably wait until water temps drop around here and test my 18# with a 5mm suit. I’m naturally negative so I won’t be wearing as much weight to sink the 5mm as guys who need to also sink themselves so we’ll see if the 18 will have enough...

    Fin Size? (Size 13 w/soft sole)

    You'll want the XL for sure man. I wear a size 10.5 shoe and just bought the Eddy's in a size LARGE and wore them with a pair of soft 3mm booties. I didn't have any foot/toe pressing on the forward part of the pocket but I was right at it. So anything larger than an 11 shoe size and I think...
