The Akona Bag front.

The Akona Bag opened up.

This is most of the stuff I usually carry in my save-a-dive kit. It still has room for more. This is a great li'l bag.

I always have a snorkel in my gear bag at the site. I generally don't carry one, but if I'm going out from a boat or doing a long swim out/in, I keep a flexible snorkel in my BC pocket.

I can't speak for more advanced diving, but I own a Ranger, and it is a great BC. It is very adjustable, so you can personalize the fit better than most BCs I have seen. The wing can be removed/replaced, and it can accept a backplate if you want to move on to doubles at some point. All that...

Nope, I maintain visual contact with my buddy. At a bare minimum, we are in close contact at all times. Otherwise, why even buddy up? I think an underwater MP3 player is a great idea, but, I can only really see it being used in deco. Otherwise, all kidding aside, it can distract you from your...

This time of year, I wear my 5 mil every time I hit the water.

I always carry 2 cutting instruments: a knife and a set of shears. The knife is the most useful tool, so I keep it close at hand, mounted on my left shoulder strap, just above my pocket. I keep the shears in my pocket. The shears are mainly a backup for the knife, but I have come across some...

francois_si, The reason people tell you to rent your gear before you buy is so you have a chance to try out different gear and see what you like best. I am not familiar with the Mares BC you mentioned, so I looked it up on Google. It looks like a solid BC; however, have you ever tried it...

Personal insecurity and the warm, enveloping comfort of internet anonymity. Some people feel that there is so little in this world that they can affect, they feel that they elevate themselves by putting down others. Sadly, these people do nothing but make themselves look like small-minded fools...

I agree with Ernesto about designing your own, or re-purposing an existing journal/logbook. Keep in mind that the logbook is solely for you. It doesn't need to have bells and whistles, you just want to be able to log what you want. I use a heavy duty graph paper notebook as my logbook. I can...

yeah...and the last thing you need in your lif is a gato talking about you in another language.... ;-)

What's the history of the reg? I know you said 7 months old, but you mentioned it just came back from Sherwood. Was there an issue with the reg? Also....I didn't see any pics of a sherwood reg on your page. Did I miss them? Thanks for the info, Rich

What he said.....

When I first started diving, I used to wear boardshorts under my 3mm. Since then, I have realized that I get chilled easily. I upgraded to a Pinnacle 5mm, I wear it in all but the hottest months down here. The Pinnacle is a little closer fitting than my old 3mm. When I tried to wear the 5mm with...

I am still a very new diver. I was trained not to use computers. In my training, we were table-dependent only. I plan every dive on my tables. I understand the argument that for single tank recreational dives, the tables are not absolutely necessary, because the gas available is more of a...

I pulled this guy out of a tight little hole. I wouldn't have seen her in all that growth, but her feelers were stickin' out.

Not a huge catch, but I am a happy boy! Not bad for first time out and 3 feet of vis ;-)

Thank you for the report:D
