Heya everyone. My wetsuit gloves have become the last leaky spot in my wetsuit armor since my gloves have this crappy velcro strap that slips off the gloves and lets them ride up. So i was gonna get a different pair and was wondering what people use who dive in water like we have in NorCal...

Buy from scubatoys.com. The only time i buy from leisurepro is when scubatoys doesn't have it. Scubatoys will meet LP's prices and have great service. Get your order togethor on their website and then call and ask for larry and see what deal he'll cut you for everything. He's a nice guy. I...

Yeah you should definately look at the swell forcast before you come up. :) Weather can blow it out up here often during the winter. But today was actually a little intimidating according to NOAA and ended up being great. 2/5/05 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR WINDS AND HAZARDOUS SEAS TODAY...

Just thought i'd share a really fun dive i just got back from in Van Damme Park in Mendocino County in Northern Ca. There was a little swell but this little cove is VERY protected. Neither I nor my buddy have too many dives under our belt so we kinda fumbled around the cove looking for some...

I recently bought all my gear in the span of a few months and managed to keep it pretty cheap (as SCUBA gear goes). Got my gloves, booties, hood, fins, and mask/snorkle from my LDS doing their yearly rental gear sale for dirt cheap. BC and wetsuit from Triple-L (www.triple-l.biz). 1st and 2nd...

Wow 18# seems amazing with all that neoprene on. For my last dive i had 6 lbs in each trim pocket and each drop pocket with the remaining in the front pocket on the Triple-L orion. For anyone who's interested the front pocket isn't made for weights. They pull the velcro on the pocket off so...

I dive a triple-L orion. it has 2 drop pockets and two trim pockets but i need like 27 lbs of lead in these cold waters. i can easily do 24 with those pockets and could probably cram the rest in with some shot bags, but was just curious if i'd notice a difference by spreading out the weight...

Heh don't own tanks yet. Just rent AL80's from the shop.

Heya everyone. I'm looking to spread my weights around a bit and get some out of my integrated weight pockets. I wanted to get some on the tank. I came across things like the XS tank strap trim pouches but am afraid they'd get in the way on my straps. Anyone used these kinda pockets in their...

Really give Larry a call. He will not only cut you a great deal (just got my atmos 2 from him for well under leisurePro's price) but will talk you through it all and try to help you out. He even offered to walk me through setting all the stuff up on the atmos 2 over the phone. Chris

I had the opportunity to try on a pair of twin jets at a dive store recently and found the XL's fit my feet with my booties really well. I've pretty much decided on tusa xpert zooms though so was wondering if the XL twinjets size similarly to XL zooms. Has anyone out there tried both of these...

Yup as this thread and basically every thread in the BC forum will show, people here will answer any question with "Get a bp/w". You could ask what kind of flashlight to get to fit into your bc pocket and get "Get a bp/w". I guess when the staff members are even doing it it only encourages the...

Yeah i don't really see any reason i'd want a knife over a "snipping" tool of some kind.

Thanks for all the responses. I'll probably just find a local store that sells shears for other reasons and try them out. I don't plan on cutting through kelp or cutting through anything for that matter. It's just something like a Z-knife seems like it would be of little use should the need...

I was just wondering if anyone out there has used EMT scissors like: http://www.leisurepro.com/Catalog.aspx?op=ItemDisplay&ProductID=ZGLEMTS with thick wetsuit gloves? It seems like maybe it would be a pain to get your fingers into the handle holes with 7mil gloves. I'm basically trying...

Hey i'm thinking about buying a used reg setup from a reliable source but just wanted to ask people's advice on the equipment and price. The whole thing is Mares MF-12 1st stage, Akros 2nd, Nikos octopus, console w/depth gauge and compass, no computer for 200$. It's all used but regs have just...

Hey i've got some pretty strange feet and unfortunately no dive shop anywhere close to try on any real fins. I wear size 10 booties but my arches are very high which gives me some very "tall" feet and they are also very wide. These chunky feet pose problems for the average fin since i'm also...

First off i've never used bp/w and in fact am only getting the first of my cert dives this weekend. Perty excited. And my point isn't that i feel like bp/w is a lesser solution than anyhing because as you can see i'm an absolute newb. My point is that bp/w advocates on this board tend to give...

This i agree with 100%.

Because they'r wrong and afraid to admit it. You heard the man it's the "Elegant Solution". So do bp/w's come standard with an inflated ego or is it extra? I mean come on. For a group of people obviously happy with their viewpoint bp/w pushers seem very insecure with the reality that there...
