    Will titanium rod in the leg be affected during diving?

    Ditto here. I've had a rod in my right leg (tib-fib fracture from a motorcycle accident) for years. No issues with diving, although I do occasionally set off metal detectors.

    choose scuba bag with wheels for checked luggage ?

    It's 29 by 22 at the base, and about 14 high, although it expands a bit. I use either Jets or Mares Xstremes, depending on where I'm going, and either fits easily side by side on the bottom.

    choose scuba bag with wheels for checked luggage ?

    This is the one I use: Amazon.com: High Sierra AT659 32 -Inch Expandable Wheeled Duffel with Backpack Straps: Sports & Outdoors It's a bit pricey, but huge and very well built. I can fit fins, BC, dry suit with layers, hood, gloves, etc. Even managed to get in a 30 cu.ft. pony bottle.

    Free Iphone/Ipad Fish ID applications

    Just download it via the app store in iTunes - I checked and it does show up there. With your device connected, select it in the iTunes sidebar, go to apps, and make sure the Fishes app is checked. Then synchronize, and it will transfer over. As for the connection, I'm on AT&T, but was using a...

    Icon HD will not pair with transmitter

    Sorry you had that experience, but very glad it was a simple fix.

    Free Iphone/Ipad Fish ID applications

    I had the same issue with it not showing up. Worked around it by doing a Google search. The first link on search results, after "scholarly articles", is the iTunes link for the app. I can only assume that there is some glitch in how the search tags are linked from within the App Store.

    Icon HD will not pair with transmitter

    I suggest you put a fresh battery in the transmitter. That worked for me. Also since you have a newer transmitter, do make sure you have it attached to a pressurized first stage, and keep the HD and transmitter close to each other.

    Any Full Face Mask Distinctive Specialty Courses in NY/NJ/PA?

    SDI has a FFM course: Full Face Mask Diver Specialty | SDI | TDI | ERDI I took it after I bought an OTS Guardian - didn't care about the c card, but did want the training as a precursor to the solo diving cert. My instructor then customized the solo class to include some work and custom mods...

    Scubapro Jet Fins with SS spring straps

    This is what I get for buying size-sensitive items via mail order. I recently bought a pair of Jets and straps to use with my drysuit. I assumed size "large" would be just fine, not thinking about the size of the integrated boots on my suit. Long story short, they are too small and I've now...

    Finger spool with dry gloves. lost dexterity

    I'd like to share a somewhat different idea. I carry a ten foot SMB in a Dive Rite lift bag sleeve slung under the backplate of my BC, like a fanny pack. This keeps it tucked away but easily accessible. No room in the bag for the thumb reel, but it has several spots for hooking on a reel. I keep...

    Diving with full facemask

    Thought I'd share my experience. A buddy and I have been using OTS Guardian FFMs for almost a year. I took the SDI solo class a few weeks ago, and my instructor added a segment tailored to the FFM. This included switching to a regular mask, and back again, several times. It also included several...

    Mares Icon HD Net Ready Connect USB to Mac

    I only have the AI version. It is honestly not that big a deal, except for the need to use the PC version of the software for firmware updates and maps. Macdive works superbly, and the import into Dive Log is spotless.

    Is "fixing" photos cheating??

    Christina: Post processing is neither "fixing" nor "cheating". It is a routine, often necessary part of the photographic process. I've been an amateur photographer for 38 years. In the old days, "post" was done in the darkroom. Since the advent of digital, it has become much more user friendly...

    Mares HD vs GALILEO SOL

    Haven't used the Galileo, but I've been diving in all conditions with the Mares Icon for over a year, and can't say enough good things about it. Both are close in price. The Mares has a very nice, large and very visible color display, while the Galileo is dot matrix monochrome. I just took a...
