Custom-made women's black and purple wetsuit and tunic by Oceaner. Made in Burnaby, BC, Canada. I wore the wetsuit once and the tunic never, so the set is in excellent condition. The wetsuit is 5mm and the tunic is 7mm. Price for both pieces is $150 firm, plus shipping. I will be in the...

Did they tell you what brand of lock boxes and a price? I'll be in FL later this summer and hope to get some (solo) dives in at the bridge as it's all my budget will allow this year.

Thanks for sharing this, JC. I doubt it'll help, but I sure hope I'm wrong. ;)

Like new Deep Sea Supply compass mount for the Suunto SK7. Included is a back-up Suunto SK7 bezel and retainer ring. $17 USD plus shipping via PayPal. Canadians can pay CAD via Interac e-Transfer. Local pick-up preferred (Vancouver, BC).

Yikes, 63 reads and not a single reply. Hopefully, you've got some PMs. If you don't get any responses here, maybe try contacting the nearby dive shops, Force-E or Pura Vida for tips on diving the bridge. I know Pura Vida offers guides, but they're rather pricey, IMO. BTW, welcome to SB...

Since you mentioned prices, would you mind sharing what you paid for diving and accommodations at Club O? My understanding of Anilao in general is that you're best off either showing up with at least 3 other people to share the costs of boat dives, or hope that there are other single divers on...

Thank you! You've sold me with the nudis. ;) I didn't see any during Friday's dive.

How much different is the bridge at night v. the day? (I'm scheduled for Pura Vida's dive tomorrow night, but it's a long drive so I'm hesitating.) Is the only major difference the lack of swimmers in the water, and lack of light, of course, or is there much more marine life out and about? TIA! :)

Rarely used Analox nitrox analyzer, approx. 4 yrs old. Accessories include Pelican case, sensor saver plug, O2EII Dome Adaptor, and lanyard. I'll be in Miami Beach for 4 weeks effective May 25 so US shipping during this time is included in the price, as are PayPal fees. (Otherwise, shipping is...

I've seen recommendations in the past from Matts1w for Dean's Dive Centre located right in Fort Myers. Matt used to teach with them when he lived in the area and although I've never dived with him, he definitely seems like a stand-up guy based on my interactions with him throughout the years so...

Somewhat related... I listened to a brief talk from Dr Andrew Weil on Big Think via FB today. He differentiated between happiness and contentment... contentment being internal versus happiness being dependent upon external 'stuff'... stuff ranging from cars to mates. He then stated something I...

Thanks for posting all this, jimw! I'll be in FL for a month effective late May and I thought my only option for night dives at the BHB was Force-E. Good to know there are plenty others. :) BTW, if anyone's interested in a dive buddy during the week during June, please feel free to send a PM...

All your pics are beautiful, but the second to last shot in the first post is amazing!

Another vote for Wetwear! I like to be in charge of the look of my suit so I didn't go with any of their designs, but I think the cuts are relatively standard. Mine is a solid black, front zip with hot pink trim. Previously, I had a custom suit via Oceaner, but they like to place their logo on...

Maybe, but I, personally, would expect more impartiality and honesty from someone who teaches multiple units than from someone who only teaches one. He or she may indeed be more partial to one unit over another, but inevitably it's up to the student/consumer to decide. If a student is partial...

I would think the point about talking with instructors who teach more than one brand is one hopes for impartiality and honesty. Obviously, the instructor who only teaches one brand only believes his/hers is the best. From an instructor's perspective, the advantage of being able to teach...

Frilled shark. I could merrily dive a lifetime without ever seeing one in person. ;)

I've gone to Dauin 3/3 trips to the PI and will consider returning when I next go to the PI. During all 3 visits, I stayed at El Dorado. Their dive guides, Rey and Lito, are top-notch, IMO. Rooms include AC and TV, and the restaurant has a wide selection. Compared to other resorts in the area...

Where I live, that reg would retail for close to $1500. (I got mine from an army base in the States for just under $500.) My experience with reg servicing in the States (FL) is about $60 under warranty; not sure what it would've been if it required parts outside of warranty. Are you sure both...
