    Advice needed for multi-island cruise

    I posted the following in "Cruises" a month ago and got exactly zero responses so I thought I'd try my luck here. I'm pretty certain one of my two dive days will be Dominica, need advice on which operator to book with. Hi all, I am going with a bunch of family on Jan 8th for a seven...

    Aluminum BP/W complete rig

    It's a "standard" diverite plate, 10 1/2 (at it's widest, by the waist belt) x 16 tall, same size as my SS plate.

    Aluminum BP/W complete rig

    Ok, I've decided to sweeten the deal just a little. I will pay ground shipping within the continental US and I will throw in an Ikelite PC lite, decent backup light for OW night dives. Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk

    Starter 1st stage, 2nd stage and octo

    I have a set of Sherwood regs (magnum?) including a console with a compass that I bought when I got certified 13 months ago and was about to list on e-bay. They have about 15 dives on them, make me an offer, I'm not looking for a whole lot! Not really technical regs but they'll get you wet...

    Hi all, I am going with a bunch of family on Jan 8th for a seven day cruise with stops in: St Croix St Kitts Dominica Grenada Tobago Each stop will be a full day (8am to 5pm or later) so it should be fairly easy for arrange diving on my own without worrying about missing the boat at...

    OW - Float at eye level?

    Floating at eye level is part of the weight check, you should be negatively buoyant (sink) when properly weighted with a tank that has greater than 500lbs in it. Sinking like a brick sounds like you were overweighted...as I have come to understand this is a common practice among instructors when...

    A peeve but an important one - 20m is NOT 60ft!

    Well, I guess you're not in Jules' league at all, are you? :crafty: Well, if we went apple picking and I brought back 3/4 of a bushel and you brought back a full bushel...you'd be a peck-a-head now wouldn't you? :eyebrow:

    A peeve but an important one - 20m is NOT 60ft!

    I prefer Smoots, thank you very much...so long as you don't need accuracy better than one ear. The metric system was invented for sissies who have to do math by calculator and moving decimal points back and forth and can't handle fractions! :mooner:

    Cold water gloves

    I think this depends entirely on the individual. Some of us aren't blessed with wonderful circulation in the hands and feet to begin with and have a difficult time keeping them warm. I cross country ski which generates plenty of heat at the core, in fact the challenge is avoiding getting...

    Necklace advice?

    Hehehe...the only group worse than the "Harley Guys" are the Beemer Brigade, talk about koolaid drinkers! (I can talk...I was one ;) ) And my other two bikes are Vulcans...don't get me started about Harley guys and metric cruisers :rofl3:

    Necklace advice?

    WOW! Sorry, I didn't realize you were actually asking that question :D, this place is so full of smart a$$es I thought you were making some kind of off the wall tech diver style splitfin/spare air/oil/tire thread crack about a "yet another dumb necklace question" thread! :shocked2: Ooops...

    Necklace advice?

    Damn! It was so simple, why didn't I see it? I thought I had made a necklace but it was really a bungee!!! No wonder it didn't work right...:no: BTW, I'd like to return this parrot...

    Necklace advice?

    Never thought about it but it seems like a sound idea. Assuming that dialing the knob out reduces spring force on the mechanism or possibly valve seat(s). Thanks!

    Necklace advice?

    Sensible advice but not the problem with mine, while it was a shore dive I pretty much plopped into the water and the first thing I heard was the rushing of bubbles. Everytime I stopped the freeflow (while underwater) and then turned the reg loose it started again. Seems to be a tuning issue...

    Search Function?

    Ok, so I try to use the search function when I can but usually the results are such a mixed bag as to be nearly worthless. I have found the advanced search window but no help screen or further instructions are obvious. What I am looking for are the search term commands (and/or, exact quote...
