    BP/W Fit and Position Advice Needed

    As others have alluded to, compromise is sometimes unavoidable. For example, short guys like me have to learn to deal with the first stage being right behind the head, otherwise the tank will be too low for proper trim.

    Where to stay/dive in Fiji

    I second Beqa Lagoon Resort! I have been twice, and both trips were excellent in every way. Although it has been quite a while, now that I think about it; 8 and 10 years ago ... wow.

    How do I contact Kubi with a dry glove problem?

    Hello! Does anyone have a way to contact Kubi? They do not provide a phone number on their website, and the contact submission form on the website is not functional. I also checked here in the manufacturer section, but there does not seem to be a Kubi section. I have a problem in that I am not...

    Wakatobi water temperature

    I was there in October of 2013. You are going to love it for so many reasons! Wakatobi has the most dynamic conditions I have ever dove in. We would hit currents where I was chilly in a 5-mil, then another where it felt like a hot tub. Current direction could also do a complete 180 during the...

    Recommendations on new travel BCD

    I was always a huge fan of my Scubapro Litehawk, which I used until I switched to a backplate. They very durable, nice and minimalist. It worked well for me because all the weight I need could fit in the trim pouches. If you need more than 10 pounds, you would need a weight belt or additional...

    Freedom Plate Divers Roll Call: show us your rig!

    Wow, that is gorgeous! I am eagerly anticipating mine! Yeah, you don't want to bolt the wing to the plate like that. The cam straps will pin the tank against those bolts with all of their force, and that will scratch and gouge the crap out of your tank. As stated above, you don't have to use...

    Diving Naked - Stupid/Fun Topic

    Yeah, skin gets soft when soaked in water for extended periods. I had the same thing happen to me for about a decade. Finally, I realized that the end of the zip tie I used to affix my computer to a double-ender was cut to a point, and that is what was slicing me up. so I filed it down and it...

    Macro...?

    "Macro" generally refers to "big stuff"; groupers, sharks, etc. "Micro" refers to really tiny creatures like Pygmy Seahorses and such. What gets confusing is when you get into photography because a "macro shot" is a picture of a really small critter. Specifically, it is where the picture of a...

    Aladin Pro? Still worth it?

    There is a new Z for sale on here for $250. If I was in the market for a computer I would have bought it already. It takes battery changes completely out of the equation.

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    I have a front-zip without the telescoping torso, and while it is certainly not the easiest suit to get on, the TLS isn't necessary. If I could do it over again, I probably would go with a back zip to minimize any extra length in the torso, make it easier to roll up, and make it easier to get...
