I dive in the Pacific Northwest where the water temperature can get into the low 40s. I am leaning towards a Scubapro MK17 Evo first stage, but I am suffering analysis paralysis on the second stages. I need to pick a primary (S600? G260??) and then something else which can be cheaper and less...

I'm considering getting a Mk 17 reg for cold water use, but I use a vintage Galileo Sol computer, which has the big honkin' transmitter pictured below. When I looked at the Mk 17 in a shop, it was so small that it looked like the transmitter would block both LP ports on that side. This is an...

I forgot to get one when I ordered the light, and now DRIS doesn't show them as a catalog item any more. Any US retailers carrying these? I did some Googling but struck out.

I need to blow some water out of a buried irrigation line. I don't have a compressor but I do have scuba cylinders. I'm sure this is possible, but I'm not sure where to start with the adapters etc. Has anyone done this?

Before I pick something at random I wanted to ask if anyone can recommend a way to book a taxi or similar from the Cancun airport to our hotel in PDC. It'll be 2 adults with a full complement of luggage. I don't mind a shared ride, but I'm not interested in taking a taxi to the bus station by...

I have a few BCs that would benefit from having a new power inflator. They all appear to be simply zip-tied on. Are there any special magic zip ties that I need to find, or will anything do? I imagine UV resistance is important.

I am looking for a very small, very light, and very affordable backup light for tropical, clear water OW use. It doesn't need to be supernova bright or have a very long run time. This Sartek looks appealing... it seems to be quite small though I can't actually find dimensions or battery specs...

I'm really interested in the Morph 1000 can light but I have some questions... Thanks to anyone who can answer! Run time -- I have seen people say it's 5-66 hours at full 1000 lumen output. True? (Seems almost too good to be true, but then again it's been a couple of years since I bought an LED...

I have a tropical trip coming up and love excuses to buy new gear... also, our cold-water Dive Rite regs are heavy and require an uncomfortable yoke adapter. So, I am looking for a good-but-not-crazy-good, light, warm water yoke reg set. As far as technical requirements go, I'd like 2 HP ports...

I'm selling a complete Sea & Sea DX-2G rig. See my original post here for the details. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/classifieds-photography/441346-sea-sea-dx-2g-tray-arm-ys-01-ttl-strobe-%24850-shipping.html Note the price has been reduced to $700 plus actual shipping charges, but I can't...

I'm looking to add a macro lens to my FIX S100 housing, and not really sure where to start! There are a lot of options. Does anyone have a recommendation to share? I like the idea of the Inon UCL165, since you can stack two of them. I have seen some good pics from the FIX S95 case and these...

I just upgraded cameras, and so I am selling my used (but well cared for!) rig. LOOK AT ALL YOU GET! Sea & Sea DX-2G camera, battery, charger, and soft case (specs: DX-2G | Compact Digital Camera Systems | Compact Digital Camera Housings | Discontinued Products | Line up | SEA & SEA) Sea &...

If I set the aperture/shutter manually on my camera (Canon S100), and set the YS-D1 to manual, I get good exposures. I can also use the compensation dial on the strobe to adjust output power. How does the system know how much light to produce for a good exposure, and how is this this different...

I would like to know your experience with the duo, specifically settings you have had success with. So far, with the strobe set to the "lightning bolt" Manual setting, and the camera shutter/aperture set via Manual, test exposures seem to be OK--the duo figured out how much light to dump into...

One of my dive buddies has the Snake River flat lens housing for his GoPro. Unfortunately, when he got to the island he noticed that the O-ring which goes under the flat lens is missing. He's not sure if he just lost it at home when checking out the unit, or if it shipped without one... But he's...

I was going to buy an El Cheapo II kit, but they aren't available from the manufacturer any more... EL Cheapo II Analyzer Kit : OxyCheq - DiveOps, Analyzers and Scuba Diving Equipment The page won't let me add it to my cart, saying "show room only." Does anyone sell this kit?

Can't find much on this light. Anyone have experience to share? I had the MC-E powered version of this light a while back... I ended up returning it as the emitter died. I'm hoping this version is more reliable. It was OK as far as controls and watertightness went, which is why I am willing to...

I'll be in Punta Mita for a few nights in March... any good dive ops serving that area? Anything to see? A few years ago I was at the somewhat nearby Las Marietas for one dive on a cruise ship stop--I thought the diving there was awful. There was nothing but a crushed coral bottom, a few arrow...

I'm going to pick up a small handheld light for an upcoming trip, but I want to keep using a Goodman style handle as I do on my can light at home. Has anyone opinions to share on the Oxycheq universal light sock? It looks good on paper, but I would like to hear from some users.

I made this fake magazine cover for a thread on another forum where my cold-water dive buddies hang out, thought I'd share. It's not the magazine for everyone, but I'd subscribe! If you use split fins, please don't take offense. It's all in good fun. (The picture I brazenly stole from a...
