Both appear to be the same basic style and shape, both have LiquidSkin silicone, one is offered in more colors. Are there any other differences between the masks that I'm not seeing?

Which do you prefer?

Hi all, I'm going to be in Cozumel in December, and I'm given to understand that there's some good drift diving to be had. I have a reef hook and line for drift diving, but I'm not really sure how to attach it to myself - the Mares Pure BCD that I use doesn't have a readily obvious spot to hook...

I've had a look at rash guards for warm water, and more specifically, I've seen the *price* of rash guards. How is a rash guard different than, say, a long-sleeved T-shirt for diving? On the surface, it appears that they would do the same thing, and one is significantly less expensive.

I like to have my dive light clipped to a D-ring on my BCED, but I obviously don't want it to dangle and flop around. I remember seeing once upon a time that there were retention bands available that were basically made from bicycle inner tubes, but I can't find them any more. Does anyone have...

Having a wander through online dive stores, I see a lot of full-face masks advertised for public safety divers. Why is a full-face mask the particular choice as opposed to the, let's say 'more conventional,' mask and reg setup?

Hi, friends, I'm booked on a RC cruise in December, with stops at Cozumel and Roatan (among others) so I'm definitely bringing my scuba kit along. I have a pretty nice save-a-dive kit that I've gathered together for domestic travel that has some tools, and cutters, and a knife, and etcetera...

Hi, all, as the title suggests, I have a question regarding the tank fills at my LDS. I have a steel 100 tank that I use all but exclusively. As far as I understand, the shop does a sort of quick fill method; they overpressurize the tank, and then cool the tank in water so that, when cool, it...

Hey, all, I'm planning a few dive trips for the next year or so to the Caribbean, and I'm curious to know if there are any collective 'standards' as far as SMB colors for the area? I was told in training that in some areas, for example, an orange SMB means 'no issues,' but a yellow SMB is a...

Does anyone know the difference between the Underwater Kinetics Sunlight C4 eLED Dive Light and the C4 eLED (L2) model? Other than price, of course.

Hey, all, I'm looking for a gear bag to use when travelling, and I think I've narrowed the choice down to two: the Akona Roller Duffel (Akona Roller Duffel Bag (AKB223)) or the TUSA Roller Duffel (TUSA Roller Duffle Bag). I like the Akona because it's big enough for all my stuff plus extras...

So this is a lot of opinion questions, but what does everyone like in a drift hook? I'm going on a drift dive next year, and should probably pick one up. Single hook vs. Double hook? Rope vs. Strap? What length do you like best? Any other tips/tricks?

Obviously, dive then fly is not a good idea. What about fly then dive? I'm assuming I can go diving the same day I fly into a location?

Hey, gang, just curious to know if anyone might know of any restrictions or regulations in the US for transporting pressurized tanks in personal vehicles? Someone mentioned that I should have a green 'compressed air' sticker on the car, but I'm not sure if that's actually required, or if there...

Do HD Masks actually make a difference underwater, or are they a bit overhyped?

Does anyone know what the difference is between the Cressi Big Eyes mask and Cressi Big Eyes Evolution mask? I can't really tell from looking. Cressi Big Eyes Black Skirt Mask Cressi Big Eyes Evolution Mask with Black Skirt

Hi, everyone! I'm more-or-less brand new to diving; I did a discover scuba trip in Mexico when I was a kid, but that was more than 20 years ago. I'm interested in getting OW certified in March in anticipation of a couple of trips to Hawaii and other tropic areas, but I'm a little concerned...
