I won a free e-learning course from SDI. I'm looking for a SDI instructor on The Big Island of Hawaii, in the hope that I can do the in-water portion of a specialty course on my next trip there. The SDI website isn't particularly helpful in that regard.

Wife and I may be coming to Florida in April, to visit some friends in Jupiter and then down to The Keys. Would would diving conditions likely be? For background, I'm an active local diver in Northern California. So, terms like "cold" an "rough" need to be defined for me. ;-)

Mid July, I spent a week in Costa Rica with my wife and daughter. As I'm the only diver in the family, I only got ten dives in, but had a blast. We stayed at the Ocotal Beach Resort, just south of Playa de Coco ("Coco Beach") in the Guanacaste Province on the northwest corner of Costa Rica on...

I will be staying and diving at the Ocotal Beach Resort in Costa Rica July 7 through 11. I'll be with my family as the only diver, so I'll be looking for a dive buddy. If you'll be around, let me know. A SB buddy is a better bet than a random instabuddy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Last weekend, I finally got a chance to test out Tobin's "new and improved" glide harness adapter. It's super simple to install. The only "trick" is to make sure that Tobin knows whether or not you have weight plates on your DSS backplate, as you'll need longer bolts - which Tobin will supply...

On exit from La Jolla Cove Wednesday a large breaker took my mask right off my face. It's an Atomic Subframe, black on black, with a black neoprene strap with "NOAH" emblazoned on it in neon puffy paint. It's a prescription mask, so if anyone spots it, I'd really appreciate its return...

DEMA 2012 is over. Everyone came home. The hangovers have eased. Yet, I've heard nothing. Sure "what happens in 'Vegas, stays in 'Vegas." But that only applies to infidelities, overindulgences and bad bets, not to new gear being introduced to the industy. Was this DEMA really totally...

This year's North Coast Party surpassed all previous. Held at the Albion River Campground last week (Thursday the 22nd through Sunday the 26th), it featured awesome diving conditions, good weather, a bountiful ocean, great music, delicious food and - as always - it's very own Tiki Bar. The...

The Gear: My "new" tropical BP/W setup worked great. (It's a used FredT stainless steel plate, with a new Oxycheq camo 18# wing, new DSS cam bands and harness, with used hardware.) Laying flat and still anywhere in the water column is such a joy. Contrary to my fears, it was very...

I love my VT3, but when I download my dive days, it always shows that the first dive SI was 16 minutes. What's up with that? How do I correct it?
