Not so much a fin recommendation, but perhaps a dive preperatation suggestion. I Had trouble with cramping in calves as well, when I started to end a dive and begin my ascent. I found Stretching before the dive made a huge difference. Most new diver and some more experienced divers miss the...

I have dove both sets, I currently own a dual cyklon (Poseidon's) and dual ATX 200's (APeks) your friend is right, the maintenance costs of the Poseidon's here in Western canada is a little sdiscouraging, east coast not so bad. But as for upkeep and ease of use and possible advancement...

I suggest the cheap Princeton Tec lights for now, and then save some moneyt for the Can light down the road, don't bother buying something youll be unhappy with in a month or two. I have been going through a horrific fight about Can lights for about 7 monhts from now. I can only say SALVO is...

http://scubatools.com/ I have heard the book is a great addition to any tools!!!

I wouldn't recommend diving without a bladder of some type! NO way to make yourself neutrally bouyant is just asking for trouble. COnsider something, the bladders (used) in your areas are easy to find and cheap, look around and ask around. As for the backplate, I own two hammerheads and an...

I found a good price on a used ( approx 5 dives), Suunto Vyper/Viper, wrist mount computer, Ws wondeirng what the people think of this if I plan to take my first technical course later this year. I know they are to be used in Gauge mode for diving, but will this be a nice addition to my gear...

Can someone explain this a little further, I have a manifold waiting to be put on new tanks, (exaclty) like the one pitcured, what are the drawbacks? I missed something, Adibiatic pressures, aren't those stems standard on Halcyon manifolds??? Thanks Karl

THere are many people on here, much more experienced than I. But I will tell you the difference I see/saw in 200 BAR vs 300 Bar manifold. 300 Bar, NO inserts!!! -- these have deeper threaded valve, meaning no inserts can be used for use with YOKE regulator and your yoke will not fit over...

I made a great tank rack for under $10 Can, so thats what $1.50 US??? Uses two pool noodles (local wal-mart) and used some yellow nylon rope (local hardware store), tied knots, total time, 1 hour, layed my tanks (5 Hp 119's) in my van, worked great in buddies truck and in SUV's, cheap and easy...

This might help, I have another one someone but can't find the link among to 2000 SCUBA links I have. But try this it may help out http://www.frogkick.dk/manuals/scubapro/

The OMS is a great choice, go with the Stainless backplate and oyu can shed some weight from your belt. The reg I can't comment on, never dove one. I would ask around and perhaps see what other people in the areas are diving for regs. Service $$$ should be a consideration too, check out...

I have never dove a Zeagle reg, I have dove the whole range of Sherwood prior to purchasing my regs. I can only say that the maximus was the least favorite I dove of the whole line, even the budget BRUT was better in my mouth, I hated the house routing the MAximus provide (under arm) and didn't...

Looking for a used/new drysuit, looking for front entry, preferably trilaminate, Bare or DUI preferred but not ruling out others! I am 6'2", 215 lbs, I am currently diving a 7mm neoprene drystuit (SEA_TUX) love it for its warmth, but is a bit cumbersome and want to move toward more advanced...

All of the replies have been good advice, take them as that, try out (beg/borrow/steal) a few different ones, the Neoprene ones are great, I am currently Diving A SEA-TUX drysuit made in BC, it crazy warm, I wear long underwear and T-shirt underneat, I do most of my diving in waters ranging...

I have been diving a neoprene drysuit for 3 years here in some of the coldest waters most people dive in (as low as 33F, most of it is between 33-45F) in the Atlantic ocean. I have a set of Helly Hansen long underwear and the matching shirt, essentially SKI gear, its great, in fact more often...

Hi, I just recently moved to the Regina Saskastchewan (Canada) area, looking for people to dive with. Looking to get out whenever/wherever. Email or PM Karl Woolfsmith <k.woolfsmith@sasktel.net>

THe Sherwood are excellent reg for this climate. I dive in NB also have dove Sherwoods (BRUT/Maximus/Blizzard) Poseidon Cyklons, Oceanic, Mares Abyss and soon Apeks atx200's. FOr starting out the cost of the Sherwoods (which model????) may be better but I always recommend renting that reg and...
