After doing lots of research online, I'm leaning pretty hard towards replacing my ancient Pentax S5i (and factory O-WP2 dive housing) with an Olympus TG-4. I'm just an amateur and have no plans to be more than that, but I do love shooting away when I'm on the reef and sharing with friends &...

Hey all - Didn't know exactly where to post this, it's regarding another online scuba forum besides ScubaBoard, but for rather obvious reasons it can't be discussed there. I totally understand if the mods want to move or delete this post, but I'm bringing it up because I know many SB'ers...

Give them a break, they didn't even have cuneiform dive tables yet, much less computers... 'Dinosaur Bends' Caused by Prolonged Diving ScienceDaily (Aug. 15, 2012) — Dinosaur-like creatures may have injured themselves during leisurely deep-sea diving trips and not from resurfacing too...

Is it possible to upgrade my LED 700 handheld to an RX10 by just replacing the light head from you (Dive Rite)? As opposed to replacing the entire handheld unit. I'm happy with my 700, but if I could upgrade this way for less than a whole new light, I'm thinking it would be worthwhile for the...

Until recently, your website still showed availability for discontinued part #58108, the MMII lens adaptor for the Pentax O-WP2 housing. They're not listed as of the latest website update, but can you tell me if you still might have one?

My understanding is that Sea & Sea was the OEM for the Pentax-branded O-WP2 housing for their S4i and S5i cameras. If so, is there any way to obtain a replacement o-ring from you guys? Pentax no longer has any (yes, I called them directly). If not, is there any way to obtain the engineering...

Sea & Sea DX-1G, $500 OBO 10 megapixel 55m/180' housing Can use JPEG or RAW format Lots of accessories available from Sea & Sea Used, but with brand new o-rings and battery (tested once since these were installed, everything OK) Complete manufacturer specs and info here: DX-1G...

So, lesson learned from diving the Spiegel Grove today in ripping current: when you jump off the boat and the deckhand yells at you to "Grab the yellow rope! Grab the yellow rope!", make sure it's actually the yellow rope you've grabbed and not your own yellow pony hose. It's not nearly as...

Wanted: A cheap, used, DIN 1st stage for utility purposes only. I intend to use this attached to one of my cylinders for inflating tires, blowing my workbench clean with a nozzle, etc. Never for diving. I don't care if it's under service, what brand, whatever, just as long as it doesn't leak...

One issue that came up often in the thread discussing a pony diver assisting another OOA diver revolves around the level of obligation a solo diver has to other divers who happen to be in the water with them. So, let's discuss that here; among the questions that arise, I think the critical ones...

I am creating this thread to discuss an issue that came up in this thread in the Accidents and Incidents forum regarding a pony diver interacting with an out-of-air non-pony diver. For argument's sake, to make this interesting, let's assume the following: Paul is a pony diver, Sam is not...

Signed up with JDC next Monday morning for my freebie birthday dives! :cool2: Anyone else up for a 2-tanker that morning? If you're in North Brevard/East Orlando or anywhere along I-95 south to Jupiter, let me know and we can carpool.

I currently use a Grip-Stay S with a single YS-01 for my old Pentax S5i in the factory housing (which I think was actually OEM'd by Sea & Sea). In any case, I am seriously considering upgrading to a DX-1G (if I can find one for cheap) or DX-2G (if I can't). I notice most folks are selling the...

I just saw this news article in my AP feed - Tourists warned after Red Sea shark attacks four - so I immediately came to ScubaBoard for details. Of course I wasn't disappointed, everyone's on top of it here. However, the thread is in the Red Sea forum and some might have missed it, so I...

Forgive me if anyone else has already suggested this, but I think it's worthwhile to think about establishing a Scuba Wiki, and I can't think of a better place online than Scubaboard. It would be a major undertaking, but I think there are enough literate and knowledgable people here who would...

I am currently signed up with a team for the second Lionfish Derby this Saturday, the one in the middle Keys. However, for anyone else planning on this or any other diving in the Keys this weekend, keep a close eye on Paula because they just don't know where it's going. This is from the...

1) Is the transfiller included with a Razor reg purchase, or must it be a separate purchase? 2) Do you have a DIN transfiller available?

In the middle Keys yesterday, on the boat heading out to my ninth dive with the Foldspear strapped to my leg for lionfish termination, I reach down to adjust it and it's GONE! Just an empty holster on my leg. Velcro is STILL ATTACHED and closed. My only conclusion is that it slipped out the...

I recently got a metal bracket to mate my 19cf Luxfer pony to my main camband. Works great! However, once it was installed, of course my trim weight was off. I had been carrying one pound in the side with the pony, and two pounds on the opposite side - the extra pound to compensate for the...

I was having fun discussing various dive technologies with a buddy the other day and I got to thinking about this idea, wondered if you rebreather guys had ever heard of such a thing, or why it wouldn't work. The idea is basically a one-breath rebreather. Based on the fact that a typical...
