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...

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...
I recently added a new Sea Life 961D strobe and the pictures from my first trip to Playa Del Carmen (especially some taken inside the Dos Ojos cenote) suggest that I may need to add a flash diffuser. The current diffuser available from Sea Life is only compatible with the earlier 960 and 960D...

After getting measured at my LDS (United Divers in Somerville, MA - love 'em) and sleeping on whether to order an AquaPro Plus that USIA had in stock or a Techniflex that I'll have to wait a little while for, I pulled the trigger this morning on the Techniflex - black on black (looked good on...
I am planning on buying a drysuit in the next couple of weeks and based on everything I have read here and on various manufacturer's sites I am leaning toward the USIA Techniflex. Only problem, I have not seen one in person (but my LDS is willing to bring in one for me to try on - but that...
