Could someone please explain why the O2 goes in the tank first? Wouldn't my shop be able to blend EAN with the air first as to avoid using a dedicated Nitrox tank? Willem

Hi all, I'd like to hear from anyone that is familiar with this mask. Anyhing good or bad is welcome. I'm especially interested in durability. It is time for a new mask and this one is high on the list of masks that fits me. Thanks, Willem

Have not YET dived Cozumel, but just back from Marsh Harbour diving with Abaco Dive Adventures. These guys were top notch as we had our own boat (party of 5-1/2), set our own schedule and pretty much did what we wanted while getting some awsome tours. Hard to pick a favorite (the caverns and...

In that case I guess whoever wrote the manual mis-worded the paragraph on page 33 that states "(4) Total ascent time: This is the total amount of time (in minutes) you must spend at the decompression stops and the ascent time between decompression stops." You can referance here...

I believe the IQ-700 is the same computer as the Nitek Duo? If not then disregard the following. The Duo tells you DECO at the bottom of the screen and STOP at the top with the depth required below it. Next line down shows deco time in minutes at stop followed by total ascent time from current...

Hi Kathleen, Thanks for the responses. I do not want to shorten the corrugated hose as that will certainly be a problem during an OOA situation. I was just trying to clean up this... (that's me on the right ;) ) but 22" would be too short. I know... I'm being to picky :D . I tried...

I had the privilage to dive with Tim Higgs of Abaco Dive Adventures on the 16th - 18th of this month. We were a 5 person group (4 new OW and our instructor, though he was on vacation with us;) ) and on the first dive Tim ask us to signal 1500 psi. Of course I was the one to signal first and he...

Thanks Jerry, It's not a big deal, I was just trying to clean up a little bit. Willem

Hi Kathleen, Good to see someone from DR watching this forum. Definately good to get info straight from the manufacturer. I'd like to know if you offer different hose lenghts to fit my RiteSource? I believe the standard hose is 28" and I'd like something shorter. If not, do you offer an...

...or Bonehead ;) I was just teasing Diveman. You'll most likely not see any "real" tuna at Pinellas reef. You have to find blue water to find most tunas and that means going a long way most parts of the state. Later, Willem

My wife also looked at both and bought the Aliikai. She feels less restricted. All I really know is that it packs really small if you travel alot. Willem

Hi, I dive with the crotch strap to keep everything in place. I also use two 4# trim weights high on the plate and the 16# integrated pockets with between 4 and 10 lbs total. I don't use a belt and I dive an Al80. My trim is perfect which is so much nicer than the jacket I trained in:D Good...

My pride and joy.... and his first Hogfish dinner... Willem

The PADI Jr. OW is valid for 10 yr. olds to 40fsw with a pro, parent or gaurdian. The operator had no responsibility as to whether the kids could dive or not, other than check their cards. I was spearfishing (freedive) with my 10 yr. old south of Pickles reef while this all happened (he is in...

Tuna in Florida Hey Diveman3, Did your tuna look like this? Willem

Hi Jordan, Same problem here. Not unbearable, but soggy. Anything I should know? Thanks, Willem
