    Olympus 5050 vs 5060 vs 8080

    ReyeR, It’s the screw-on type lens. So either way it looks like I’m better off with Ikelite. Thanks for your input.

    Opinions?

    Hello from North of the border! I have to admit every time I travel to United States I’m amazed as to how much larger the portions are and how people actually manage to consume all the food. I recently stopped at Subway to get a sandwich, and asked for light mayo. I kid you not, I thought...

    Olympus 5050 vs 5060 vs 8080

    Thanks for the feedback. I guess I forgot to mention that I have a Sea & Sea wide conversion lens, which works very well with Ikelite housings. Are they mountable on the Olympus housings? (with or without an adapter). I think in reality I will be choosing between 5050 + Olympus housing and...

    Descent Position

    Here is what I find works very well... Start with feet first - you cover the least surface area that way and it's really easy to start the descent. At the same time bend your knees and point your fin tips down - this will create even less drag. Once I'm a few feet down I would switch to a...

    Where to learn???

    PADI is not the only option - fair enough. However, the store mentioned is a 5-star facility. In PADI terms this is a very high rating and a store requires to maintain high quality staff and offer high programs to stay a 5-star facility. I'm sure other associations offer high quality...

    Don't know what to do

    The reviews on the gear may be great, but that doesn't mean this is the right gear for you. First try it on - see if it fits properly and feels right. Don't forget the exposure protection you will be using it on your dives so make sure the BCD feels right with the wetsuit (or drysuit) on...

    Where to learn???

    The best place to look for a PADI facility is on the PADI website. I just checked and there appears to be two stores in Regina. This one right here is a PADI 5-star facility. The Dive Shoppe Wescan, Inc. 214 4th Avenue East Regina, Saskatchewan S4N 4Z6 CANADA Phone: (306) 347-0025...
