    Atomic Ultraclear mask strap slipping

    The mask is the frameless style. I went to the LDS where I bought it and their answer was to buy a neoprene strap, which I did (hard to be without a mask). It was kinda weird. I'm very mechanically minded and I couldn't see anything wrong with it. Neither could the LDS. Captain Larry, most...

    Atomic Ultraclear mask strap slipping

    Anybody have a problem with the new Atomic Aquatics mask? My strap on the right side of the mask (only the right side) slips so bad, I had to tie a knot in the remainder to "save the dive" yesterday. BTW, the mask is awesome otherwise. I think I need to have the LDS where I bought it look at it...

    New Drysuit Diver - Do I Need The Course?

    Take some instruction. Don't rely on internet instructions to keep you out of harm's way. Is a few dollars for instruction too expensive after you drop one and a half grand on a drysuit? Hard to justify NOT taking them, unless you're unteachable, which I doubt or else you wouldn't have posted...

    sony HDR SR5?

    here is a video I just shot with it underwater. Keep in mind it went from HD (AVCHD) to MPEG-2 to wmv. Oh and I am a total noob/novice. Thanks. Nice job if you're a novice. Where did you find the best price on the equipment?

    sony HDR SR5?

    Looking at buying a camcorder that'll be used mainly to photograph grandkids but also want one that would be suitable to take diving. Costco has the SR5 for $799 but don't know how good a camera it is. I do know that their are housings available. If anyone can give me a better recommendation for...

    Split Fins WHich ones?

    Regular Bios. I DID have the chance to try them all out. The XT's and twin jets took more work. There was actually quite a bit of difference, suprisingly so. You might consider the regular (not split) jets. Much cheaper than the Bios and you have more manueverability. Splits are good for a fast...

    OMS 21 Watt

    Just got off the phone with OMS. The 21 Watt was made about 4 or 5 years ago and the reason they stopped production was that the bulbs and ballasts were no longer available. So I guess $500 is pretty expensive for a throw away HID. Thanks to those who responded. Mike

    A friend of mine is selling his OMS 21 Watt canister. Any thoughts on this light? Is $500 a good price?

    Flying After Diving --- A Theoretical Question

    A little background on aircraft pressurization systems. The 8000' number is the highest altitude that US carriers fly their cabins at. This is approximately 8.7 pounds of differential pressure at normal cruise altitudes. I believe the biggest threat is if there is a rapid depressurization. I...

    Atomic B2 vs Z2 vs Oceanic Delta 4

    Glad you got it figured out. For those who might look at this later, I have both the B2 as primary and have the Z2 as my backup. Can't tell the difference in performance between the 2 and love both of them.

    Faber FX?

    Thanks. I wasn't sure if all the tanks that are labeled 3442 were FX's or not. Mine are I guess.

    Faber FX?

    I bought 2 Faber 100cf high pressure tanks last winter and I'm not sure if they're FX's or HP's. Anybody know how to tell?

    Latex Seal Trimming ???

    I had LDS trim mine when new but everyone said it looked too tight. So I contacted DUI for instructions. Their owners manual says that with my neck size to trim to the 1st or 2nd ring but also says to contact the customer service desk if you've already worn it. The person I spoke with said the...

    Crazy for David Doubilet

    If you haven't seen him in the N.G. video that showcases several of their photographers, it's worth a look. I think the mask is because he's not got very good eyesite. I seem to remember him wearing fairly thick glasses. In the video he has a shot similar to the above only it's a school of...

    Greenpeace None Too Happy with Mighty O Sinking...

    "What irks me is that the article, and some of the posters, are writing as though there are vats of liquid chemical sitting on the Oriskany, waiting for the puncture that will release a concentrated cloud of material into the sea . . . There aren't. The PCBs are in plastics. Do you know how long...
