As others have pointed out, scuba diving is a recreational sport that has specialized equipment. There are no scuba police. You didn't explain why you felt there needed to be some sort of policing of scuba diving, and it bothers me that you believe there should be. We already have far too...

Being obstinate isn't the same as justifying. And I never said I "recommend" the unit and I don't consider it a redundant air source. I stated what I use it for and that I'm under no illusion as to it's limitations. I have practiced with it enough in doing a CESA from 90ft to know that I can...

DevonDiver, you pretty much proved my point about those who are bound and determined to disregard a piece of equipment for whatever manufactured reason you can come up with. Anyone--diver or car purchaser, what have you--who buys a product purely on the advertising or even word of mouth is not...

After reading the older thread, which I found most of the posts annoying and not convincing either way, and this thread, which tended to REFER to that thread as well as re-emphasize the same tired arguments, I think the points that JaJaWarrior and Diverrex make pretty much cover it. I...

I'm quite insulted. There is simply NEVER a time when vulgarity is acceptable. I don't care the situation. That any of you find it even remotely acceptable tells me that you are not people I would want to associate with. I never use that sort of language. NEVER. And during a class I make...

While I've definitely picked up a lot from various tutorials around the web, figuring out the combinations on the IC10 challenge me. If I understand correctly, you can't actually adjust the F-stop itself, only degrees of +/- as an offset...which doesn't help you when you are trying to calculate...

Shayne, I just got the IC10 and ISS 2000 strobe. It did not come with a sync cord and neither has a diffuser. Would you mind sharing details of your rig? Also, using the strobe, what have you found that you regular have your settings at on the IC10? I've been extremely pleased so far witht...

I've had the Mares Prestige MRS for a few months now and one problem I've noticed with the pockets is really annoying. Although the latches stay in place just fine, the pockets themselves slide out so that they are hanging OUTSIDE the BC when I'm in the prone position. It's as if the pouches...

I just received the diffuser for the camera housing yesterday. Some quick tests in a dark and in a medium-lit room so far confirm that the shadow effect has been eliminated and the strobe is working famously. I'm looking forward to hitting the water to see how it performs at depth. Thanks...

The only cable on the Intova site seems to be the one designed for the smaller PX strobe, not the ISS2000. Also, I just ordered the diffuser in an attempt to reduce the shadow effect that the IC600's built-in flash creates (it competes with the ISS2000 strobe, unfortunately). Will the diffuser...

I'm a brand-spankin'-new PADI Instructor in Del Rio, TX. If you ever find yourself near Lake Amistad, look me up for a dive.....if I have a full tank of air and a sandwich, I'm ready to dive!
