This is what I carry, knife and shears all in one. (The shears are also great for trimming off lionfish spines.)

I haven't had a chance yet to dive with either one, but I was looking at both the GoPro and the Paralenz. The Paralenz is like $250 more than the GoPro with a housing. I decided to buy the Paralenz because I liked its size (like a small flashlight) and because it was recommended by a friend...

Very nice, but the steering wheel is on the wrong side (just kidding LOL). Santa brought me a Paralenz camera.

I just bought a Paralenz camera for Christmas (my gift from me to me LOL). I haven't been diving with it yet, but a friend of mine shot this video with his. I think he was holding the camera in his hand and a dive light in the other hand.

I've been to Bonaire many times and never had a problem.

I vote for Navy SEALS too. And as a bonus you will learn how to blow stuff up.

So you ran out of air but your pressure gauge still read 650psi? Time to get a new pressure gauge.

One of the most spectacular dives in Bonaire is called "Rappel", named after the divers who discovered it because they had to rappel down the cliff in full scuba gear to get into the water. Now it is a boat dive.

Its all good. I got it done over a weekend.

I only had to do four dives for PADI AOW. The first two were shallow (<40 feet), Buoyancy Control, Navigation, and Search & Recovery. The last two were deep drift dives on wrecks (90+ feet).

They did several skills on each dive. Buoyancy Control and Navigation were done on one dive, Search and Recovery on another dive, and two deep wreck drift dives.

My AOW course consisted of four dives over two days. They included buoyancy control, navigation, search & recovery, deep, drift, and wreck.

The nitrox course offered by the dive shop here (PADI) is classroom only. I need to find time to take it.

Hi Pyratess Like others have already said, you have to try them on. Some dive shops will let you pool test a mask. You shouldn't have to make a mask so tight it squeezes your face and leaves marks. A properly fitting mask requires minimum strap tension to seal.

So you did learn something new. AOW introduces you to different types of dives, but there is no substitute for experience.

Me too, at the end of the day. I use a 50-50 mix of rubbing alcohol and distilled white vinegar.

When I can't find something at my LDS, Leisure Pro has been great.

I use a metal detector a lot and haven't had it happen to me yet. But several divers I know say it attracts sharks, especially bull sharks.

Me too. I always carry a speargun just for this purpose. That's disgusting.
