    Cressi Leonardo or Aqualung i470TC ?

    Hmmmmm …. A web search shows comparable price to the i470TC but reveals another issue, in the search results: the comparably priced, and very cool looking, Atmos 2 (edit: probably not, doesn’t seem to have AI)

    Cressi Leonardo or Aqualung i470TC ?

    The company issue certainly has me leaning to Cressi -

    Cressi Leonardo or Aqualung i470TC ?

    The Leonardo seems like the best entry level wrist computer and the i470TC seems like the best entry level AI-capable computer …. How quickly might I grow into AI ? How irritated might I be with the Leonardo’s conservative algo? -

    What are the better dive bags that you would recommend ?

    I‘ve grown to really like the utility of my EVO mesh bag though overall it leaves a bit to be desired. It has a full side zip but also backpack straps. I’ve been looking online for a similarly sized backpack duffel. I have an ebay sourced Improved Military Duffel, with backpack straps but it...

    Trip Report Grand Cayman (7MB) November 2022

    Great write up, thanks! I've been curious about doing a Western Caribbean cruise to capture GC, for a wall dive, and then Cozumel for another dive. Just casual diving. But I've dove Key Largo for my OW, took video, and your comparison makes me wonder if a wall dive is worth keeping on the...

    new bifocal mask prep

    I used Fast Orange (the one withOUT abrasives, with 'MicroGel Technology') I did this because it was handy and my assumption was the preservative used on the lens and skirt had some sort of base that something like Fast Orange would wipe out. Just one finger run cleaned up the lenses and...

    Best signalling equipment from the searchers point of view

    Any idea what the depth rating might be on items like ACR PLBs? On pyrotechnics? How about the strobes like ACR and Streamlight?

    Too fat for proper full wetsuit size

    I've always been a human furnace, and yes, moreso now lol. Any recommendations on full dive skins/rashguards?

    Too fat for proper full wetsuit size

    Yep, too fat for the right size full wetsuit. Suit arms too long, suit legs too long. To avoid the expense of doing anything custom for my tropical diving, I'm thinking a typical shorty (2mm-ish) and then a full skinsuit/full rashguard. My specific example, I'm 5'8" but 240 (and dropping, so...

    Considerations for snorkeling off Garden Key, Dry Tortugas?

    Videos are a bit sparse so I was curious what it was like beyond the marketing-speak. I'll be camping on the island (for ham radio :D) so SCUBA is out since I can only carry so much gear lol but I can jump in the water at any time.

    Mini review - Aeris EX Lite Travel BCD

    With the right amount of air I'm ok at the surface, any more and it's face time lol. Strangely enough with the jacket and extra air that would face plant me too. I'm 5'7" and the backplate is invisible to me.
