Wow, it's been FOUR years since I've been on this board. Amazing. Anyway, am asking for a best guess here. If you recognize the conditions I ask that you keep it to yourself. I'm simply looking for rational discussion for my own sake and not the sake of anyone else’s. Two divers, fit...

Just wondering who dove this past weekend and how was your dive? It was 4 deg F when I left my house at 9am. At least it's light out at 9am now. After picking up my buddy we made the rest of the drive to the Anton Anderson tunnel with 5 minutes to spare.. You can take a Virtual Drive if...

Wow, the board is a little different. For those that remember me, thanks and it's good to be back in the water. I was surprised I remembered my password here. I hate to admit that I put diving on the back burner for the last, um, ah, well eight months! I can't believe that it's been that...

I just came across this post on rec.scuba and it reminded me of some of the posts here regarding dive center operations and instructors etc.. It is for reasons like this that we must speak up about any dive operation or instructor that is not 100% above board!

I've got a DUI BCS for local dry suit diving. I will probably invest in a Backplate setup next year. Right now I'm interested in suggestions for a good travel BC for tropical climes. Something that packs easily (not too bulky), back buoyancy, weight integrated yet rugged enough to clip a...

I just bought a scuba diver figurine off of Ebay the other day and wanted to share with the board. This artist is a diver in VA, but I don't think she's made it over to this board yet. I did invite her. Anyway, she does these cool miniatures in polymer clay of scuba gear and divers...

A fun read for this afternoon. "MEGAMODEL Carmen Kass narrowly cheated death when she was submerged in shark-infested waters during a Caribbean photo shoot." Click Here

I’ve been trying to get a fix on a new MK20/S600 (DIN) and I’m beginning to wonder about dealing with Scubapro and their dealer network. It seems as though authorized Scubapro dealers in the US will not or cannot advertise their prices. I see in the UK, several sites that show prices in...

Check out Scubapro USA website. They are offering a $50.00 rebate on any UL reg, $30.00 on any other reg and $20.00 off any AIR II. Print it out, negotiate your best deal with the shop and then hand them the rebate for even more savings! I have nothing to do with Scubapro. I just thought...

Just a question for general discussion. What do you consider maximum distance in open water (as opposed to overhead environments) between dive buddies? Do you consider sound signaling distance or an arbitrary distance? Do you confer with your buddy before diving and agree on what is your...

OK, time to get your opinions ready and let 'em fly one more time - (probably not the last time though). My problem is this: I like what I've read about a Zeagle Ranger. The problem is, even though my local dive shop is a Zeagle dealer, they do not have any Zeagle gear in the shop! I suspect...

I'm preparing to purchase a new Atomic B1, spare me the lectures on Scubapro/Apeks etc., vs's costs. What I'm interested in is whether to seal the first stage or not. My primary diving will be in 35F - 45f salt. I don't have any short term plans for fresh water ice diving, but it could...
