Hey Gabe! Are you my competitor now? ;-) Congrats- Patrick

That sounds like a lot of fun - let's stay in touch and make that happen... -Patrick

Would be happy to be your dive buddy - West side and North Shore will be good by then - can show you some great dive sites there. Can introduce you to some other divers too. PM me and I can give you some details... Mahalo Patrick

Hey Kerry- Am taking a private party of divers out on Saturday but am available Sunday. Can show you some good shore sites. Call me at 589-2177 Patrick

And just to add some spice to the mystery... though we have all been led to believe the Sea Tiger is a Chinese ship, one of my wreck diver students pointed out to me that all of the buttons and gauges, etc. are labeled in Japanese! Turns out she's fluent in Japanese and told me what each of them...

I think you'd be happy with the HTS in that it is convertable to both soft and hard backplates. Personally, I like padded shoulder straps and sometimes I don't want to wear a backplate. Best of both worlds. The gear looks to be very well-made and sturdy. Components are top quality. My only...

Thanks Nick. BTW- Dove the DC2 212 last weekend. Very nice breathing regulator. I wouldn't mind owning either of the Hollis regs. SD

OK- a follow up to my previous question. I got a chance to dive the DC2 over the weekend and I will say this: very nice. It is right on par with the Atomics and Scubapros- effortless breathing. Though I only took it to 75 feet it performed beautifully. I inverted (which causes some issues with...

OK- the shop I teach for just got some DC1 or DC2s in. They look pretty, but I don't know anyone who has bottom time with one yet. I dive a Scubapro MK25/S600 as well as Atomic ST1. Has anyone else used these regs as well as the Hollis and can give me their opinion? Thanks

As an instructor, I have a lot of opportunities to sell gear to my students, OW through DM. I currently dive and teach in a DR TransPac and I love it. It is an extremely versatile rig. The only drawback for me is that it isn't made to use with a backplate. For that I had to purchase the...

Thanks for the info Kathleen! Patrick

:( **sound of air leaving a balloon**

I stand corrected - yesterday it was actually 70 at 'Turtles' and 71 the day before at '29 Down' ... I should have looked at my computer. But up til then my logs all read 67-69. Still- wear the full suit;)

I'm curious to see how good this reg is. Dive Rite makes it look pretty good in the marketing pieces, but would like to know what someone who has actually used one thinks of it. I have an RG2500 that works great but am always looking to upgrade. Would like to hear any opinions about...

OK... one MORE reason I need to get over to Kaua'i ASAP! Congratulations!

Water temp has been from 66-69 the past few weeks. I'd say full 3mm.

I too have received excellent customer service from Kathleen and others at Dive Rite on this issue. She confirmed that the adapter I have is one that is manufactured to different specs. She swapped-out my adapter for the correct one - I tried it out yesterday and - voila! It works just fine on...

I got mine from a local DR dealer here on O'ahu. Someone from DR is usually pretty good about reading all these posts- we'll probably hear from her as well. Thanks for taking the initiative on this! Looking forward to hearing what they have to say... Happy New Year! Patrick

No, I purchased the TransPac first and then decided I wanted to reduce the amount of lead I was wearing. So I purchased the SS backplate and STA and converted the whole thing. It works great- just need to figure out the correct bolt length. I like the TransPac's versatility and the fact that I...
