I was the same way when I started out. I'd spend half the night before a dive up and nauseous just thinking about it. I certified in Grand Cayman and was incredibly nervous and lacking any confidence when I started diving at home. The cold and thicker exposure protection can create a lot of...
I have a mini Grand Canyon on my upper lip and need to apply some silicone to the skirt or I get constant leaks in any mask. A custom one that could prevent this would be very nice.
They sure can. They swim tail first and are lightning fast. They usually don't swim very far so if you're lucky enough to see where the went, they're yours.

I don't disagree with the practice, but I was informed during my last trip to Grand Cayman in May that eels are becoming much more aggressive. Altering behavior with lionfish culling and subsequent feeding is one angle.

My dad dives one and likes it for the most part. I've played around with it a few times. The screen layout is pretty nice with easily readable numbers. Backlight is nice. I find one button computers to be a nuisance, but with a download kit I suppose there's not a whole lot of need to cycle...
