I've got ankle weights. I also have floaty fins and floaty booties. Sometimes I wear the weights. It depends on my mood. :wink:

I'm sure all of you have seen a newbie on their first night in Coz (or any non-training environment) go into task overload when their only light floods or watched them get narc'd below 100' the first time when the weren't controlling their depth due to any number of factors or panic and try to...

Absolutely! Cheers - M²

I think this statement is somewhat irresponsible. I am not an expert but I have observed a couple of things in Cozumel. I have seen new OW divers go on deeper than 60' with supposedly experienced buddies. The max depth on Santa Rosa Wall was 80'. Their buddy went looking at fish and I...

Thank you.

Is the Olympus housing (PT 059) worth the difference in price (about $100 in the U.S.)? Also, HK is much more accessible from the Philipines than it is from the U.S. - I think. Am I wrong? Thanks and Cheers - M²

I want to thank EVERYONE for their input. I have looked at multiple options and configurations and pricing thereof. I finally pulled the trigger on an Olympus Tough TG-6. I am looking at a couple of different housings. One is the Olympus PT-059 for about $250 and the other is the Chinese...

I'm not showing off. MM is MxM which is the same as M². However, Mathematics is one of my degrees. Are you serious? 9# of steel = 9# of feathers = 9# of lead. In the water the feathers would probably have some positive buoyancy due to trapped air. Density has NOTHING to do with it when it...

5mm × 2# = 10# - 9# backplate = 1# I think his and my arithmetic is correct. HOWEVER, I would have thought 10 more lbs. if he was buoyant prior to donning his 5mm wetsuit. Cheers - M²

But @tbone1004 everyone knows that you are special! :rofl3: Mine is canted also, but things happen. He wants to do it that way so why not. Cheers - M² p.s. mine is on a hose also. Every transmitter on every reg set.

After the first response I started pricing the TG-6 and discovered that I need the housing to go deeper than 50', which I do often. Looks like about $600 to get into it. Not bad. Cheaper than last year! :rofl3: @Eric Sedletzky - I love my FP and I had 3 people offer to buy it off my back. My...

Nope. Android and PC here

In the eary 1990's I took photos of just about everything underwater. I had stacks of developed pictures to the point of I didn't have any more room to keep them. Albums were costly and bulky. So, I started being very selective of what I shot. The number of developed photos became fewer and...

You're right. I wear a Teric on one are and a Perdix on the other arm. The Perdix always goes through first! :D Cheers - M²

@Christi I admire you and someday hope to meet you. I have one final observation. I have lived in many parts of the world. I have not met a single human being in my 70+ years that wasn't addicted to something. Not all of the addictions are as destructive to self and others like drugs and...

I apologize. I misread the posts. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima cuppa. Cheers - M²

@Christi you have always impressed me as an open and caring person. You have impressed me again with your commitment to this new direction. I'm sorry that I have never met you. I wish you the absolute best with your new endeavor and hope that your desired plan comes to complete fruition...

It would seem to me that the cheaper your room the higher the percentage the 25 pesos (or whatever the hotel adds on) will be. And vice versa of course. (Simple math) Cheers - M²

I bought my first computer in 1990. It was a wrist mount. I now own 5 computers. 4 are wrist mounts AI and one is console AI. I keep the console in my dive bag. For what reason I have no clue. Obviously I prefer wrist mounts. As far a Doing It Right goes, whatever works best for YOU...

That is truly tragic.
