I have one-- it breaths like crap at 100+ but it works, with the addition of the drysuit hose and not going AI I wanted less junk coming off my 1st stage. I have done a whole dive to prove a point (so I am pig headed) Would I buy one again--yes. I look at it this way, it is a piece of...

Yes it strikes most of us that are boaters-- I have a 21 and am looking to go 24' maybe make the jump to 26' in the next year or so. I think the jumps slow down as you get bigger boats (I hope or I will never start saving enough to retire before I am old). Nice new toy just remember the two...

not going to be 'fizzy' because CO2 won't come out of solution at depth -- It will as you ascend-- and will give you some gnarly belches, but as an unabashed male those sorts of things are cool.

Either under the rear bumper or in the truck box full of water and other dive gear (tanks). Its all insured and if truck is gone when I come up-- well I get to go shopping for a shiny new truck on somebody elses nickle (maybe a few of mine)

once in 5yrs -- one shop (which I don't frequent any more for other reasons) did ask so they would fill my tanks.

I have been using (2) 12# bricks and assorted bean bags to get my weight and haven't had issues with mine in 5yrs of use. Generally I am hard on equipment too so the fact that it has held up to my abuse is quite amazing. You must have gotten a lemon or the materials they are using has been...

I know nothing of either commercial diving or cave diving but I do know a little about problem solving. It to me looks like both camps could do a little looking over each others shoulders for ideas. You guys are all too close to the problem to see a better solution (or alternative to your...

Yea sure it would be nice but there is a lot more that I put higher on the list before diving before someone gets the title of wife. (supermodel looks/skilled bedroom athlete/cooking/cleaning/six figure income/sane/willing to put up with me..... in no particular order.... well maybe sane should...

Ever since I lost mine (and subsequently found it by dumb luck on the same dive) it remains at the bottom of my gear bag. I have always done surface swims on my back so I never used the stupid thing. Not once have I felt I was missing out and have had my fair share of wind blown chop to deal...

Wolf eels -- Sunrise (can be either beach or boat) Octopus-- anywhere from what I have seen can have some. Where does she have to work-- diive sites are a plenty. I would strongly recommend heading north about an hour and a half and hit the san Juans. Send me a PM for more info

Then maybe FBI should generate a list of Saudis with (expired) visas and then go ask dive agencies/shops if any of them have been taking classes. -- That is a reasonable search in my book because they are using information they should already be investigating (other violations) rather than a...

How is what he did different than Jose? (other than not actually getting all the way thru the plan) Was McVey held in a military institution without a attorney? .... How convienent that the press release about Jose came just after the press started criticizing the new 'homeland security'...

Try digging into history... How do you think Adolf Hilter came to power? Do you think it was on a platform of "I am going to round up every jew I can find take their stuff, pack them into concentration camps, and gas 'em"? Freedoms are eroded rarely are they taken away in one bold move...

You must be one of those radicals from out on the left coast spreading all that anti-government propaganda. Why don't you drink the purple kool-aid and get in line with what our executive branch of government wants. :D (see my post on the other active thread on this topic) Everyone...

danceswithoctopus hit the nail on the head. We pride ourselves as Americans to be a people of laws and our government has been established with a set of laws/rules that it must follow when proving a violation of law. If this search of divers was simply a search of people that had recently...

Open Letter to all Dive Shops and SCUBA Certification Agencies: I have been Diving for 5years and as a customer to many dive shops I expect that my transactions with your business are a private matter. While I did not formally state that you may not disclose my name as a customer I feel this...

It flat out isn't our way of life. If you noticed I said the cost of not trampling our rights are acceptable to me (and most good Constitutionalist). We packed up and left a civilized part of the world for our freedoms. If we wern't butting in where we had no business in the first...

Experience is all you need -- certs are a joke IMHO OW class, 5+ years of diving in current, off boats, at night, spearfishing, navigation...... all but overhead. No instructor buddies or anything. This is not rocket science change one thing at a time get familiar with how change play into...

Dammit if I say it makes me cool it must right??? :) The big one is that after 2-3yrs it won't be yellow and make you think you need to spend more at dive shop. When I had my high volume clear mask I was continually distracted by a flash of light, this, that, and the other thing (I might...

Not really a 'tech' diver but I do have a black mask. 1) Looks cool 2) you dont get distracted by distorted images thru silicone 3) Looks cool 4) Usually lowest volume masks come that way 5) Looks cool 6) Doesn't UV out and turn yellow as bad as clear (black is most UV stable color...
