After a saltwater dive, I soak everything in our tub in fresh water mixed in with a little shampoo. I soak them for a few minutes and swish them around before I take them out to dry. Works quite well with soft tap water. If the water is hard where you live, you may want to use some of the...

For some peace-of-mind, I recommend looking at buying your own reg. You don't want to be bothered by the thought of all the nasty stuff in that rental reg underwater. It is your life and enjoyment we're talking about here. One of the first scuba equipment I bought was a reg set because of the...

I would rate "The Abyss" as my all-time best dive movie (except for the crappy ending). My current favorite is a documentary collection (5 DVD set) called, "The Blue Planet: Seas of Life". Though not muc diving scenes, the bonus features do show the cameramen diving just to catch footage...

Thanks for the encouragement and feedback guys! I am close to getting a dry suit. I am looking at a used BARE Trilam HD on Ebay. The seller is on Victoria. It is a Large Tall so the size is just right. I will probably have to get the neck and wrist seals changed. It has 100 dives on it...

Zee, no one is telling people what to do. And, what if I am. You are free to ignore me. If it does not matter to anyone, why pay attention to me. I am doing something about my ideas but it takes time to implement it. Like any business idea, you will have to do your due diligence first...

Dr. Bill, Thank you for the generous offer. There are some folks here who volunteer or work for the Dept. of Tourism that may have ready-made video clips that you can use in your show. I just hope they are following development on this thread. I am not surprised if they moved on since this...

I am familiar with these job boxes. I see them on construction sites a lot. They are big and bulky though and my locker area is not that big. I am looking at something more compact and lighter that can be chained down. Your job box idea is a good one. Thanks for remining me. I will be...

:biggrin2:Don't post stuff like this. If she finds out that this forum gives out this kind of advice, my diving and I are out the window:dead: :rofl3:

Now I am lost. Puro kalokohan kasi, eh! (lots of nonsense) :).

Welcome to ScubaBoard! I hope you find time in your busy schedule to attend a local dive class before you go to Mexico. It will free up more of your time while on vacation and it will help you enjoy your dives better by not focusing on class stuff.

Welcome to ScubaBoard!

No problem, my storage locker has a section that is hidden from plain sight. I know those guys. I bought my 3mm full suit from Richard. I went to his office and did the transaction in person. The wait for my suit was fine (because I ordered it far in advance before I needed it) but some...

Imagine yourself as an airline pilot at 30,000-ft. They rely on their gauges and gyro to tell them whether they are upside down or right side up. When doing your deco or safety stops in open water, not only in the deep blue, I recommend keeping your eye glued to your depth gauge most of the...

Ron, Great Idea! I will look into it. Thanks. There is hope for a dry suit system after all!

Thanks guys! I will keep you in mind.

Here is a backgrounder: I live in a 700-sq. ft. condo with my wife. My wetsuits (3mm and 5m) and BC (I have two) are stored in the coat closet by the front door. The rest of my stuff is in a large Rubbermaid tub in the dining area. My dive bag (oh, that humungous travel dive bag) is behind...

Yes, I know I am missing a lot by not diving in Winter. In a wetsuit, it is just too cold. There is no place for me to store a dry suit including all its other accessories.

Hi, I would like to get in touch and buddy up with divers within the Greater Vancouver who dive wet or semi-dry. Dry suit divers also welcome. I am hoping to dive and learn with you guys. I dive wet because, for space and expense reasons, I cannot dive with a dry suit at the moment. I...

BabyD, here are links to the websites to two US dive travel agencies: Caradonna: Caradonna Dive Adventures - Dive Travel and Vacations Island Dream: Island Dreams Travel scuba diving vacations, cozumel scuba diving, dive travel, dive resorts, diving trips I usually go to these folks...

Matt, nice to know that Atlantis has solar-heated hot water. Another small step towards being 'green'. If you guys can afford solar power, solar cells must have gone down in cost already. Atlantis might not even get a scratch at #101 position not because Atlantis is no good. In fact, I feel...
