I prefer a wrist computer because I find it easier to see and use then on a console. Its also easier to review the dive afterwards because you don't have to have all of your regs with you to look at the computer (though there are quick disconnects that you can put on your HP hose to solve this...

I dive my Oceanic Veo 250 with a watch to back up. If something happened to my computer while I was diving, I would terminate the dive rather than continue it on tables.

If you are concerned about cost you might want to look at the Zeagle Express Tech. They are $250 at ScubaToys, and they are similar to a BP/W. They do not have a lot of weight so they wouldn't help you take weight off. I haven't used it, but it has received some very good reviews on the...

Going to pick out a new camera setup on Sunday :D

Well i also have a z knife so I could deal with the problem, but that could be a problem.

I have a loop of shock cord tied to the handle to create a lanyard. When I store the knife the loop hooks under the bottom of the sheath locking the knife in. When I take the knife out, I pull the knife out, then unhook the bungee and it is free.

I prefer to have a wrist computer because its easier to check. A lot of people find that console computers can be bulky. Also, if it doesn't have a quick disconnect, you have to take out the whole reg set to check the computer after a dive. Suunto's are known to be more conservative than...

I prefer the latex seals because I find they give me a better seal. I have only done one dive in a suit with the cuff dump, and I liked it a lot. It seemed easier to get my body in a position where dumping was simple; however the shoulder dump is still really easy to use.

We for the most part the agency does not matter, PADI and SSI are both widely known organizations, so you shouldn't run into any problems with recognition. I would start by talking to the dive shops in the area and finding out what their classes are like (price, length, what is included...

Does anyone have any experience with the heat and stick tape? Just wondering if there is any disadvantages to using that over glue?

Awesome!

The best way to be sure is to check with the manufacturer's instructions as it seems that different suits are different. I've been told to store it loosely rolled in an airtight bag (once dry) to help keep the latex safe from any chemicals in the air. Store it somewhere room temperature away...

I don't think any of these will really become more mainstream especially among recreational divers. Rebreathers and helium may become more common in tech as the prices come down, but these technologies don't seem to provide a lot of additonal worth to rec divers.

I usually travel with large bags when I am going to and from college, and they never get measured (but I'm fairly sure they are within the size restrictions). I generally find that when I stuff those bags full they can get really heavy in a hurry, which is also additional fees. I don't think...

I've found that when I put enough air in the suit to take off the squeeze and still be warm, I am pretty much neutrally buoyant. If I need to adjust more, I put air in my BCD because I don't like to have lots of air in my dry suit. As for trim, I had a lot of trouble with trim when I first...

I take my backpack through security all the time and don't have any extra issues. I imagine its harder to see what things are on the xray because its more jumbled, but it doesn't seem to take longer.

It only takes a minute at most to add or remove a hose using a wrench and allen key, so I don't know if the additional quick release is really necessary.

I think the most important thing you can do as a buddy is talk to your buddy before the dive. If you spend some time to talk about the dive plan, experience levels, and what each person expects from the other it makes a huge difference to the tone of the dive.
