Howdy Just curious...do you help your local Fish & Game department by helping them understand what you're seeing below the surface? I've relocated (yet another move) to an area with fresh water reservoirs and I'm trying to find a way to make my diving more productive than just my personal...

Howdy I'm scheduled to move to Ogden this summer and hope to get some diving in over the next two years. I've heard there are places to dive locally but can't see anything beyond local reservoirs (which can be awesome). So...just wanted to touch base on the Board and see if folks nearby...

Howdy I bought my TLS-350 on EBay a number of years ago and have really enjoyed what your company has put together. Great quality, great protection and safe. But, getting a little older now and I've always struggled getting past my instep & ankle when pushing into the turbo-soles. The bottom...

Howdy I've had a Ranger for a number of years now (and thanks for such a great design!). I'm looking to expand my diving by going to doubles and have purchased an OMS wing to start the journey. In the spirit of flexibility I backed off the idea of an all OMS setup when I remembered Zeagle...

Howdy I'm looking at buying a backup computer for my Oceanic Pro Plus II consistent with its algorithm (Modified Haldanean / DSAT). I'm not hardover on the algorithm...other than to be consistent in how tissue loading is calculated. I reviewed the Oceanic site...good stuff...but I'm...

Howdy I haven't got very many night dives under my belt but I've noticed when reviewing my computer dive profiles that my buoyancy at night can be pretty awful (especially at the start of the dive). My variation on my last night dive was ~35ft up and down with ascents/descents <10 ft per...

Howdy Had an expensive fresh water dive the other day when I left my o-ring out of my Salvo 21W. Good news was the battery was disconnected from the ballast so no underwater meltdowns :) The GREAT news was the service on the light. First...Brent (Hunter991...originally sold me the light)...

Howdy... Had a bitter-sweet trip down to Australia (funeral) but thot I'd share the "sweet" part...I'll post photos when I get back. I got to dive off of Perth on 11 April at Rottnest Island. Operator was Rottnest Island Dive & Snorkel http://rottnestdiving.com.au and they were...

Howdy Folks I've just discovered I need to go to Perth and will arrive 6 April...leave 11 April. I understand most dive shops use yoke fittings and I'm still filtering through the http://www.diveoz.com.au/ site to see which shop may be the best choice (suggestions are certainly welcome)...

…Stand in line…I’m first! My worst dive to date was my best learning opportunity so I’m showing my “skidmarks” to whoever reads this so you can either learn or just nod with a knowing smile. Here’s the dive situation… - Dive Location is Myrtle Beach SC, 27 Feb 07 - Dive site is the...

Howdy Folks I've been reviewing the posts and y'all have painted clear picture of Myrtle Beach diving outfits that have "wow'd" or disappointed you in the past. My wife and I (nope...she doesn't dive but...I'm working on that;)) will be in Myrtle Beach from 24 Feb thru 3 Mar so as you might...

Howdy Scott First...really enjoying the Ranger. It's been a great BC for me. I've purchased a drysuit and in my attempts to trim for a horizontal profile I've found I need more weight with my equipment configuration. So...I bought Zeagle pockets from my LDS which fit a 2" web (see...

Howdy I'm a little confused. When I discussed tank purchases with my LDS the tech said the tanks have to be exactly the same height. Reason: To mitigate damage to the manifold. Following that logic...he said the LDS would need to request special matching of tank heights at the factory to...

Howdy Found a little "treasure" in the local antique store...a series of books by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Philippe Diole. The titles and library of Congress #s or w/ISBNs are below (publication tracking must have changed about this time) and I think this is the whole series. Please let me...

Howdy I've been reading ya’lls responses on helping others...looking for your critical thinking on the following as I shop for "just the right" primary light. I’ve hurt my head studying all the different options and need some counsel to get out of a “do-loop.” First some context: About...

Howdy I need some help. I've been looking for an equivalent of "Weather.com" for the water to show surface temps (I think temps at depth would be expecting too much). So far I've rummaged through weather.com, NOAA and this site that someone was kind enough to post on the Board about 6...

Howdy Folks Just getting ready to go on my first lobstering dive off Virginia and I've got a couple of "novice" questions: 1. Where do you prefer to grab the critter? 2. Do you put 'em in the bag face or tail first? TX Dane

Howdy Folks Please forgive if this question is covered in another thread...I couldn't find it. Is it true that the pressure changes in the 0 - 30 foot range are greater than changes in the 30 - 60 or 60 - 90 ranges? If that's true...why? And how much? Thanks ahead of time for your...

Howdy I heard on the Paul Harvey News Thursday noon show (http://www.paulharvey.com/) that the International Maritime Organization was moving as fast as they could to protect a newly discovered reef in the Caribbean. According to the news report (at about the 6 minute, 30 second mark) this...

Howdy Folks For those of you that got a BC first then...for whatever reason...switched to the BP/W configuration...I'm curious as to what threshold in your diving life you crossed that brought you to that decision. Was it that first drysuit? Tech diving requirements? Was it simply the...
