    Diving w/ PlayaCountryBoy 3/7 & 3/8

    WhooHoo!! It's -10 F here in Boston, but three buddies and I just booked our trip down to Playa (my third time) to dive with Jason of Fantasea Dive on March 7th and 8th and do a little fishing on March 9th!!! It is only the thoughts of returning to dive the Playa reefs in 80 F water again, and...

    Anyone know how to reach David Swain?

    Yes. But your statement assumes one thing . . . innocence. There is a big difference between sitting in county jail awaiting trial and doing hard time in state prison! Remember, the time spent in county jail before going to trial counts as "time served" against any sentence ultimately...

    Difference between Sealife External flash and Digital flash

    It's my understanding that SeaLife has discontinued the 960D in favor of the 961D - which I recently picked up and have used with generally good results for my first UW system (paired with Canon A720IS camera in Canon housing). Unfortunately, there is not a diffuser available for the 961D and I...

    My New Toys!

    I got one the Sea Life 961D for Christmas and matched it with an A720IS which I've taken to Playa Del Carmen twice since. I had a hard time with the strobe power as well. Found that the "automatic" setting on the strobe didn't work well and ended up just dialing it down progressively. I would...

    Foley's Cove

    Wetsuit?!?! You, sir, have my respect. I accompanied my brother-in-law today to Niles Beach where he was completing his OW checkout dives - in a drysuit. I went along to put my own new USIA drysuit through its paces. Saw the same hatch you mentioned. Viz was 3 feet if that and water temp was...

    That's too bad, it looks like we'll have quite a few manufacturers providing donations for the auction portion of the evening including, caribbean trips, dive comps, tanks, camera/housing, dry suit, and more!! I recall last year that not everyone who hoped to was able to make the harbor trip...

    Luis and Klaus are partners in Playa Scuba. Luis was with us on my second trip to Dos Ojos. A fantastic guide and great guy! Sorry I forgot to mention him.

    PDC recommendation

    I absolutely recommend Jason at Fantasea Dive Scuba Diving, Fishing, Dive Packages, and Extreme Sports in Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, Riviera Maya, Yucatan, Mexico and Caribbean for all your PDC diving needs. I dove with him in January and again during the beginning of March. Top notch...

    Anyone need a buddy for this summer?

    kk, Sounds like a plan! I would be more than happy to chip in for gas in return for saving time of the hike across to Cape Ann and the hassles of finding parking, hiking from said and suiting up on the beach!! I'm planning on putting my new USIA drysuit through its paces next weekend, and just...

    Anyone need a buddy for this summer?

    Sean, I'm up in your neck of the woods (Amesbury) and generally head over to Cape Ann one morning each weekend. Last summer I started in June, but picked up a drysuit in the offseason so I'll probably start going out regularly with my brother-in-law and another friend some time in April or...

    First Shots with A720 IS

    After reading lots of informative and helpful posts, I ordered my A720 IS ($170) and Canon housing ($165) from B&H. They had both in stock and three days later they arrived. Paired them with the Sealife 961D strobe I received over the holidays and headed to Playa Del Carmen. I am relatively new...
