A mask leaking can be caused by a lot of different issues, being the problem in the mask itself the least probable of them all. The main point is: your face does not fit well the x-vision model, and there's not much you can do about it. You can try tighten or lose the mask strap, shave some...

In Brazil you can dive in some nice places. Fernando de Noronha and the wrecks of Recife are some examples. Both places have a lot of marine life and diversity. Fernando de Noronha has a very nice wreck, called Corveta. It's a battleship and it's nearly intact.

wrong topic!

You will love the F1's, well at least I did. I tried 4 different fins in a period of 3 months, and none of them worked for me except for the F1's. As far as the BP/W and jacket, well there is a lot of discussion around this but almost everyone who tried a BP/W will tell you not to waste your...

I have a light similar to that one. Try unscrewing the whole metal body from the bottom of it. Try hold the handle and twist the body.

My fiancee used a two piece 5mm in bonaire when we were there in december. We did 3 dives a day in average. I'm not the kind of guy who gets easily cold, and I was feeling comfortable in a 5mm farmer john. She can feel a little hot in the first dives, but you can always rent a suit if it's...

Nice to hear you had a good time in Brazil. I've never been to ubatuba, but it seems like a nice dive. The sea snake you saw is a Myrichthys ocellatus. It's a very cool looking fish, I remembered the first time a saw it!

There's an island about 1 hour e 30 minutes from Floripa. It's a very shallow dive very easy to do. The diving there sometimes can be awesome, and sometimes can be just a waste of time. Are you staying just in floripa? Surfing is very good there. If I were you I would skip the dive and just...

I live close to Florianopolis. I did my course with patadacobra and I don't think that they have anyone who speaks english there. How long are you staying in Brazil? How much do you want to dive afterwards? The dives in Floripa are done in the Arvoredo Island. There you have to be lucky to get a...

Hey, I was following your thread since the begining. Really fell sorry about you being sick most of the time. I'm going to malpelo in the end of July. Did the other people see manta rays or whale sharks? I'm going in my drysuit, do you think that's too much for the water there? Thanks for the...

Hi! I'm from Brazil, and I need drysuit gaiters for my girlfriend. Don't have this product here in Brazil. I'm interested on OMS or Halcyon ones, but it could be any other brand. New or used.

Hello everyone, Me and my girl are going to a liveaboard in malpelo in the end of july. The water is expected to be at 60 degress. I have no experience with drysuits (but i'll take the class and practice a lot until then). I have a fusion tech skin and my girl has a mares 8 mm compressed...

I have a halcyon harness. I thougt it would be much harder to get used to it because it doesn't have any of the fancy stuff a BCD has. Two days of diving with it, I'm totally comfortable (so is my girlfriend that got the harness the same day I did). Can't go wrong.

I've taken a free diving course and I can tell that it doesn't help that much just the course itself. You learn how to work properly fill your lung with air, and the phases you pass by before blacking out in the water. It's a nice course, and surely it can help, but I wouldn't take the course...

I have a Cressi light Jac. It's a back inflation BCD. Just has a small pocket on the side, and it's weight integrated. Fully adjustable. Don't have nothing to complain about it.

Thanks everyone for the replies. As far as my weighting goes I think it's pretty good for my experience (20 dives). I can hoover at the safety stop without touching my BCD and just a little kicking. I used to be very nervous at first (trying to see everything once underwater, ended with a lot...

Hey everyone! I'm a new diver, but very interested in learning things which can improve my underwater comfort and air sac. I've been reading a lot of good advices here on scuba board on how to improve air consumption, because that's been a really issue for me. My girlfriend used to swim...
