I'm trying to get my gears for around $700 or so. I'm not sure I'll purchase the package immediately, but I'll probably end up getting it in a couple months, after I've returned to southern California. The great thing is that the package is also being offered by an online shop based in...

Hi everyone, I'm a newly certified diver who is looking into purchasing a BCD, reg, and octo for diving off SoCal. Specifically, I'm looking at a package that contains the following items: BC: Aeris Sport BC Reg: Aeris A1 Regulator Octo: Aeris A1 Octo At present, I don't have much...

I'm not sure how it works in Australia, but I'm pretty sure that in the US it's frowned upon for cops to arrest and try people they believe to be innocent.

wow...i'm very impressed! i wonder if the bacteria can grow in the pacific ocean...if so, i wonder if it would be a good idea to use them on the great pacific garbage patch (a texas-sized floating refuse heap consisting of tons of plastic and other debris, see, Giant garbage patch floating in...

I guess i just got lucky since I didn't really heave, just kind of unblocked by opening my mouth and then I was done. But for future reference, I'll keep the reg in my mouth. :happyjaz: Thanks!

What are some of the inexpensive but good places to eat on the islands? I'll be staying near Waikiki beach in August, but I'm considering exploring the island and/or island-hopping. Thanks!

So for the dive operators who rent space on boats, should I tip them per tank and then tip the boat crew separately? Is the boat crew expecting a tip? If so, how much should I tip the boat crew? Thanks again!

I agree with the sentiment, but I also know that there are industries in where the workers rely on tips for a living, in fact it is sometimes even built into their payscale so that they are not even paid minimum wage (e.g., the wait staff in a restaurant in the US). Being a conscientious guy, I...

Since I've only started diving recently, I don't have all my gear yet--just the basics (mask, fins, snorkel, boots). When I purchased that gear, I also purchased a backpack that was specifically designed to carry snorkeling gear. On a trip last month, I noticed that there's enough room in...
