Cool! From them? I had really wanted to buy a full skin. Just for the stuff like the pica pica. I dive a shorty now - it is plenty warm enough I am just looking for protection.

I finally put my knife on my BC - looks good and works great there. Super easy access.

Let's not forget... how sexy a woman with easy access to a knife can be :14:

Where did you get that? Me a lil confusered

Ordered it from a place in NY...

couple of lenses
memory card
2 powerfull batteries

And, I found the Ike housing for it.

By the time the rig is ready for diving, I think I will be about $3500 into it!

What do you consider a powerful battery? I bought Sea life or whatever and learned quickly that they are crap. So i bought some other rechargeables - name brand - I get two or three pics and the strobe is dying. Any recommendations?
