Hi, I am currently doing my M.S in industrial design and I am working on a project involving a new way to look at crucial informations underwater using new technologies such as augmented reality. I am currently conducting a qualitative research and looking to interview a small group of divers in...

I am thinking of getting a front entry suit. Body Glove has one for about $800 which is a very good price. I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to dive with one or even saw one. Any info would be appreciated. Also I am only looking for feedback / info for that suit only. I already know...

I just saw a 100HP steel Genesis tank at sport chalet for $299 which I think is a pretty good price. They didn't know any specifics about the tank (in the typical sport chalet diving staff fashion) execpt that the brand is Genesis made in Japan, the K valve is Genesis as well made in Europe...

I am editing my own post because I think the spirit of the original question is getting lost... I don't really care to know if the guy was an idiot.... I would like to hear from experienced divers as I feel there is a possible safety issue we (the less experienced divers) can all learn from: So...

An interesting story happened to me today and I really would like to get the DIR/tech divers opinion on the subject. I have been needing a float for my L.A County ADP class and found a very good one at a good price on craig's list. I called the guy, we agreed on the price and I drove to his...

Yesterday while I was doing a night dive, my Isotherm suit zipper's failed and entirely floaded my suit with water. Both edges of the zipper just "opened", "snapped"(not sure what the exact wording should be)... This is a brand new 2006 suit with only 3 dive on it. Do I need to send it back to...

I am new to South cal. diving and cold water diving. 3 weeks ago I bought a Mares Isotherm suit. I love the suit except I feel too hot... I completed 3 dives last weekend, 2 in Catalina and one in Redondo Beach, the deepest I went was 82 ft. I am starting to think that 7mm might be to much for...

I have the Mares AvantiQuatro fins. They are very good fins most of the time. However if I do a beach dive and if the surf is strong (Southern Cal.), I find them very hard to use, I just don't have the strenght...well... I do, but then once I pass the surf area I am exausted and then I then my...

It's a bit annoying, I have looked at getting a Mares semi dry suit, and it seems that any of the online stores I have looked at have a different sizing chart for Mares wetsuit. Then I went to the Mares US website, and no sizing chart either... Also all their prices are in Euro which is odd as...

I am about to buy my first tank, not very experienced with scuba diving... So my question is what's the most popular size? is it the 80 cf? Should I go HP or LP? What do most people use? I just want to make sure I don't run out of air before my buddy is ready to come up... don't want to spoil...

So I just sent back my brand new Mares Morphos Ltd edition. Reason: I bought a Large, and as it turn out needed a Medium. This weekend I saw the New Mares Icon, and I am starting to wonder If I shouldn't get the Icon instead? I like the fact that the Icon seem to be less bulky.But it is $200...

I have looked everywhere for a Mares Isotherm Semi Dry (7mm) and I can't find my size (Men XL), in fact most of the one still left are sml sizes or women sizes. Is there a new one coming out? If so when?

I am thinking to get a Suunto Gekko. I saw a few internet discount stores selling them, such as Leisure pro, Divetank, etc... I was under the impression that suunto watches could not be sold over the internet, and if you bought a watch from such a store, you would loose the warranty...Is it...

I am about to get my 1st BCD, I was going to go for the Dragon AT until I found the Mares Limited Edition Morphos Metal on sale. However I read from someone on a Forum that one of the valves was defective and was given a Dragon as an exchange. Should I be concerned? Has this problem been...

So I am hooked, PADI certified and looking forward to taking an advanced open water certification course. But I am not sure I want to go the PADI route. I was a bit surprised that all it took to get the Padi OW was reading a book, 4 quizes, a final test and 5 dives... And after looking threw...

Hello, I just want to briefly introduce myself. I live in Los Angeles. I have wanted to dive since I was a child, but was always told I couldn't, because of a light sinus condition... 5 years ago, I was in Thailand with my Girlfriend, and after she suggested I give it a try, I was hooked and...
