this is the one I use. except I buy it first and then tell to go splurge on herself for the same amount of money. usually works. ;)

I guess I'm the oddball. I did two months of research (Books, Magazines, scubaboard opinions, etc) I then decided on what I wanted and bought. The problem with the rent everything until you find one you like is that most dive shops won't rent you a $400 titatium reg. (not suggesting you buy...

ALL, What did I say that was rude? Daphne tells me to go play with sharks (suggesting I go harm myself) and I'm the rude one?????? Nor am I ignorant. Exactly what statement have I made that is ignorant? I have a Masters degree in Business. I did absolutely no name calling. Daphne...

Like our great President, G.W. Bush, I'm from Texas. I'm not rude I just tell it like it is. By the way, of the research I've done the Nurse shark is not bothered at all by handling which is why they have become a popular attraction on Ecotourism ventures. Daphne's quote is BS.

Fishfreak, I would simply ignore Daphne. A Swiss citizen that would quote Michael Moore's fairly tale of fiction obviously does not base her opinions on fact. She instead bases them on the fantasy of emotion. i.e. don't touch the poor fish, animals. Daphne, are you a vegetarian?

ALL regs are nitrox ready to 40% although some do not advertise it. The Proton Metal advertises it.

ALL regs are nitrox ready to 40%.

I dive the Proton Metal. It's also rated for cold water but is a little cheaper than the Ice. Scubatoys has it for $299. It is a GREAT reg. I've been down 90 feet withit and it breathed the same as at 9'. All in all i have been extremely pleased with it. It would be my recommendation but...

That depends on the tie. Bear in mind the cops use zip-ties now in place of handcuffs. If the cops trust their life to a zip tie I think i'll trust my light.

i have a 1 mil Mares Evolution full body suit and a 3 mil two piece. the two piece gives me a shorty and a farmer john. This combination gives me a lot of flexibility. layering also inceres warmth. i.e. two 3 mil suits is better than one 6 mil.

I'm confused. If you read most other intro's on the board you'll find that personal life is not mentioned. Yet, you introduce yourself as Gaydiver asking about gay friendly clubs. Of all the dives I've been on (granted I'm a relative newbie) I've never noticed/discussed if the people i was...

I have the proton metal, which is essentially the same reg but built for cold water as well. I love it. My AOW & Rescue instructor uses a proton XL so.

Anyone going? I think I'm going with ScubaHouston.

10 seconds is actually a short interval...a longer wave interval is better. a short interval means the wave a closer together and therrefore steeper so you bump up and down. a longer interval means the waves are long and gentle. I've been in the Pacific in 10' swells but the interval was so...

Perfectly said Larry, Al, no offense intended, but based on the fact that you post your air fill comment everytime someone mentions online sales I'd advise a business course. Simple economics dictate that if there is demand (air fills) someone will step in to fill that demand. As Larry...

My wife and I are coming out in October for vacation. She doesn't dive but I'd love to. I've tried my last two trips out there. The best day for me would be Sunday, October 17th. A morning dive would be perfect as my wife will sleep in. Can we work something out? I've called Lake Mead Scuba...

i don't think so. hydrogen is actually lighter than helium. it does remain in the atmosphere. the table below shows the composition of the atmosphere. additionlly helium is continually produced and released by radioactive decay. Gas Name Chemical Formula Percent Volume Nitrogen N2...

larry is in italy.

A cell is only good for about 20 miles from the tower. A Sat phone works anywhere on earth with a clear view of the sky. I've used an Iridium phone between FL and the Bahamas as well as in Tanzania, Africa. They work very well but are a bit expensive. $1.20/minute My trip to Africa...

yes and no. I don't feel you can set aside the legality issue. All three are unhealthy are therefore a poor choice but being illegal differentiates pot from the other two.
