How many times do we buy a product that is faulty or needs repairs (in warranty) and have to jump through hoop after hoop to get anything done? How many times do we call "customer service" only to get an endless loop of "push 1". "push 3", "input the 1st 4th and 3rd letters of the parties last...

At many parks it seems the entrance fees are only used to build a shack and staff it with someone to collect the fees without much being done to the park.

Last year California wanted to close numerous parks of any sort. Funny thing the park system is one of the few aspects of the California that actually MAKES money. To close them is like choking the golden goose. Granted the parks revenue can't make up a $14B deficit but if these places, in...

Hi all. Today is February 28. I want to dive a few places in Florida. Can anyone tell me the conditions at Morrisons Springs? Two weeks ago the river was backed up over the spring the worst I have seen it. Same question about Crystal River. What are conditions like there? And finally, has anyone...

Hi, thanks for the reply. I had taken about 40 or so pictures at a shallower depth (30 ft or less) before having the sticking problem at 65ft. After the dive I took the camera out and did see the button sticking. I'll try your tip and see if that solves the problem. Gives me an excuse to go...

Hi everyone, I am new at U/W photography. I have a DC 800 with Pro Strobe. I have had the camera for a couple of years but it has not seen much "action". That said, the actual camera in the sealife housing is a replacement and just over a year old (the original camera was stolen). What use the...

I was diving in an u/w cave in Florida so there is a lot of white limestone. I am a beginner at u/w photography using a sealife DC 800 with strobe. I basically have everything set to the Auto mode. I had a problem with many of my pictures "washed out" by the strobe. Is there a good tech for...

:confused:I have a Sea Life DC 800 with the Digital Pro Flash. I was doing my first O Ring clean on the strobe. I have to admit when I opened the door I didn't expect to see a "gasket". After cleaning the O Ring and Gasket I had some confusion and difficulty putting the gasket back in place. As...

Does anyone still dive for golf balls? I'd like to hear about it.\ DiveLvr

In an earlier post someone wrote of the enormous number of boats that need cleaning. What is the competetion like in Southern California for divers doing in water hull cleaning? Do you have to get permission for the marina to work in their water? DiveLvr

The rebreather is a KISS Sport CCR and is in great shape. This is a complete unit with 3-2L gas bottles (Dilieunt, Nitrogen tank, and Bailout Tank), pressure guage, and 3 gas meters. The unit was used a few times last year in a pool and once in the ocean.Since then it was cleaned and stored in...

Wow, the response to my question certianly did bring some facinating information. For pwr2al4, I have been diving since 1972, I was been an instructor and manager of a dive store for a few years. My number of dives is more like 1200 and most of those were done in the 70s and 80s. It may seem...

I have been diving professionaly and for a hobby for 32 years. I have been in water that is clear and murky, still and with a current, fresh and salt, barren quarries and life abundant reefs. What makes the best trip is a good dive buddy who is a also friend to discuss the trip before, during...

Has anyone been denied an air fill (or EAD fill) because he tank wasn't certifide as "Safe Air" clean. Safe Air is a certification of a higher level (and more expensive) of cleaning the tank, valve, and o ring of hydocarbons to ensure the tank won't catch fire during filling. Has anyone ever...

Does anyone know who makes the SeaLife DC 800 camera only? The camera only was stolen and I want a replacement. I have found replacement cameras online but without the the memory card, the battery, and the charger. By the time I buy those items too I could buy the sealife camera and housing. I...

Hey, I have a dry suit that was only dry twice. The first time was when I took it out of the box and the 2nd time when we got suited up but the dive was called off. So how does the suit dryer work, blowing air via the flex hose and it works it way out causing the drying effect. Of the flew...

Hi everyone. I'm a long time diver (since 1972), 50 ish. I have been diving many years, mostly in Florida. I like spring diving, river diving, beach diving, and wreck diving (no penetration). I take alot of bad u/w pictures. I dive at Casino point more than any place else now and the Yukon would...

I used to live in the P'cola area. Don't leave without checking out the springs. Morrison's and Vortex Springs is not far, about an hour's drive. Morrison's is bigger with about 5million gals a day coming out of the spring. It is now a state park. You can air fills at the site. Vortex is...

I agree with Cool Hardware. You don't want to come up short in bouancy at the surface, especially in a critical life saving situation at the surface. This is even a greater concern of your partner is wearing his own set of double 100s. As to the flap, I have overcome that problem years ago when...
