    Black stinging "weed" underwater - what is it?

    While diving in Coz last week I rubbed up against what looked like black weeds where my skin was exposed. It caused immediate pain similar to bee stings that lasted a few minutes. Almost like underwater stinging nettles. Does anyone know what this was and I didn't think it was fire coral?

    Pinnacle Kodiak Hand/Leg Seal Advice

    I've used mine about ten times now in the Puget Sound and it has performed well with no repeat problems and the zipper. I am curious on how you redesign a zipper and do you know what they changed?

    Manual Override issue on Aeris Windows Software

    I just got back from some diving in Cozumel and one of my dives has the wrong End Time and hence is showing my dive to be 604 minutes long! This is throwing off the dive profile screen and I would like to correct it. It appears the data is wrong on the computer and I have tried to reupload with...

    EOS Free-flow a common problem?

    I bought an EOS a couple of months ago and recently I went to adjust the breathing setting to "easy" and the reg began to free flow. A quick turn to pre-dive stopped the free flow. In another situation I was in post dive mode and went to adjust the breathing to easier and again same problem...

    Default FO2 Setting Clarification on T3

    I just got my Nitrox certification and I am looking to set starting the settings on my T3 but I have to say after reading the manual on the gas settings and default FO2, I am confused as to what it means or how it works. Does anyone have a better explanation that what is in the manual? From...

    Iberostar proximity to Dive site planning concern

    We got the free AOW certification and Nitrox included so our dive site choices may not be open anyway due to the AOW cert requirements. The hotel is probably hit or miss, my guess since I've seen other getting sick from time to time. The boat size is a concern and any idea if you can upgrade to...

    Iberostar proximity to Dive site planning concern

    I've booked a trip in December to stay at the Iberostar and will be using Dressel Divers. I've read some threads that talked about staying at this hotel limits you to dive sites due its location on the south end of the island. Part of my decision was the price, hotel rating in TripAdvisor and...

    Elite Transmitter Accuracy

    I have begun using my Elite T3 and single transmitter and love the unit. However I have noticed that is about a 150psi variance between my analog pressure gauge and my T3. I haven't yet connected my buddies gauge on the surface to verify my analog accuracy but will in my next dive. The 150 psi...

    Oceanic EOS vs. Aeris AT400 Ion

    I bought the EOS and really like it and had a chance to physically get a look at the Ion. If I didn't get such a great deal on the EOS, I would have bought the Ion. It got perfect scores breathing scores in the scuba diving magazine testing this month. It is also lighter than the EOS as well and...

    Elite T3 Default Dive Screen

    Just got my Elite T3 and I wanted to know if there is a way to change either which screen is the default in Dive or even better, can you customize a screen? I really like the ALT 3 screen but want current and not max depth.

    Oceanic EOS vs. Aeris AT400 Ion

    I find it hard to figure out the differences between Oceanic and Aeris equipment and does anyone know the difference between the Oceanic EOS and the Aeris AT400 Ion which are both new. Scubadiving reviewed them in the July issue but I am traveling and don't have my copy. The EOS carriers a...

    Pinnacle Kodiak Experience

    My perception was the Kodiak was their premier suit for cold water diving with dry suit like features in the seals, zipper, etc and even uses the dry suit hood. The suit is excellent and in my other dives, the zipper hasn't been an issue so perhaps my original problem was due to user error and...

    Pinnacle Kodiak Experience

    I've got the Pinnacle dry suit hood and after diving again today, it is the main source of water into the suit. I was considering trying a normal hood and see how that goes.

    Pinnacle Kodiak Experience

    I did my first two dives in the Puget Sound today with my new Kodiak in 47 degree water. I added a 3mm Torso Warmer just to be safe and it was a good decision as it didn't add any real bulk or restriction and the added insulation was nice. The suit itself was very "sturdy" and I liked the...

    Pinnacle Kodiak Hand/Leg Seal Advice

    I just got my Kodiak this morning and I'll be diving in the Puget Sound this Friday, trying without a second shorty over the top. I wanted advice on if the hand and leg cuffs should go inside or outside of the boots/gloves. Since the Kodiak has two sets of seals, a rubber inner and the neoprene...

    I am looking at getting a semi-dry suit for diving in the Northwest wheer the water temp is 46 degrees. I've heard some great things about them and I was looking at getting suit and wearing a 3-5mm shorty underneath for extra warmth. I would really prefer to avoid a dry suit since I am not a...
