I would highly recommend diving Porlier Pass through Cedar Beach - Andy and Virginia are wonderful hosts, and Peter and Simone run a great charter. A group of us from Beyond Deep Diving spent a weekend up there in October and Porlier was one of the best dives I had last year. Here's a short...

I also use two layers of glue on the she-p, one on myself, tape in the front, Poise pads, thongs, and boyshorts, and now I'll have minimal leaks after a long day on the boat. Man, I hope to simplify the process... although the she-p accessory bag keeps it all pretty tidy! :) I often find myself...

Do you have any serial numbers or model numbers that would help us narrow down the search??

I can't wait to see the video (and plan my next trip)!

I've received some good advice about practicing in the shower... sounds like a good plan to me! Also, if you wanted to do the self-install of the p-valve on your drysuit, it's really no big deal on a trilam. Takes less time than waiting for a friend to do it! Skip the aquaseal, too; it's...

Mine came in today! So excited... just in time for our trip to Tahsis. Trying it out tomorrow night... eek!

Andrew!!! We are going to Tahsis June 25-27th... pm me for more info! I'm going to send you a msg on facebook too, there is only 1 spot left!

+++ to the heated vest, and also the xm450 from DUI. A very well constructed diving undergarment that beats out any of its kind. I would also recommend DUI's article from John Boyer regarding drysuit insulation.

So some quick questions come to mind that I would use to narrow down my choices: First, if you are going to commit to spending the dollars on a drysuit, choose carefully between DUI and Whites. Think about dealer support, which lines are carried by your LDS, and warranties. DUI's warranty...

Diva cup! Teaching in the pool, diving dry in the ocean. I've been using it for almost a year now, and wouldn't have it any other way.

By the way, I noticed that you are in Montreal. $600.00 is a very reasonable price in Canada for a BCD; we retail the Voodoo for quite a bit more, and the BARE Sportswear page advertises MSRP as $849.95. As your instructors/shop staff/dive buddies what they use, and why. You'll get a more...

The Voodoo is described as the following: "Innovative design combines advanced performance of a wing style BC during the dive, and the armchair comfort of a front-adjustable jacket at the surface. Incorporating a patented design, the diver can open a valve from the wing into the separate...

So, in light of my experience today, I'd love to hear about other divers' fantastic experiences with octopus. Today, at Henderson, this (hair-raisingly large) octopus decide to come out of his den and greet me in person. I was more than a little intimidated as a lone tentacled-arm was...

Home - The DivaCup, an innovative menstrual cup the best alternative to Tampons and Pads This is probably the best thing since chocolate/red wine for dealing with menstruation! No more bleached tampons and pads, no more worries about smells, leaks, running out of tampons, or having the...

Found this today and can't find any other reference... Anybody hear anything about this? Patient unconscious after diving accident Ž© Times Colonist (Victoria) 2008 Canwest News Service Published: Sunday, November 16, 2008 VANCOUVER -- An unconscious patient was being treated by...

It's scary (and really funny for me), but I get way too many customers like this. I had one particular customer (on her way to an all-inclusive to do some snorkeling) try on a mask, inhale a bit through her nose, then inhale too hard (causing the mask to suck harder onto her face), panic, inhale...

I wondered for awhile if naming things is a girl thing... I had a 63 cu.ft. aluminum tank that was named Jacques (as in Jacques Cousteau, of course!). The best was when my dive buddy (a guy) would also refer to it by name. I figured naming a wetsuit was kinda creepy (in a second skin...

Forgive me if I've posted this in the wrong spot, I've posted in "Events" as well but thought this would be equally appropriate! For the past 20 years, Frank White's Dive Stores have organised an Underwater Easter Egg Hunt for certified divers and snorkelers. We place "Easter Eggs"...

Does your shop participate in Earth Day activities? I'm trying to come up with a good activity/event to participate in, but can't think of/find anything that differs from a good ol' beach cleanup (or underwater cleanup). Anyone know of a shop that does something to spice it up? Or something...
