    Any back supporting weight belts systems out there??

    You might want to check out the Seawolf harness from Seasoft - SEASOFT SEAWOLF. It's fully adjustable, and keeps the weight off the lower back.

    Best money ever spent on scuba gear.....

    Following up with another view from the visually challenged, I'd say the best money I've spent so far has been on a OTS Guardian full face mask with communicator. It is just plain awesome. To top it all off, since I can't see a thing without my glasses (and do have a couple of regular masks with...

    Mares icon Hd air integration with double 130s

    The Icon will read up to three transmitters. As far as I know, you would have to put a transmitter on each tank. Havn't done it yet myself, but I have a set of HP 100s that I was thinking of trying it with.

    Gaurdian FFM and Equinox H6 housing+buddy phones

    The Guardian has a nose block. You push up on the reg, which causes the block to cover the nostrils.

    looking for fish id app or software for apple computer

    Not an app per se, but you can get the Reef Fish ID ebook on Blio, along with the Blio app for iPad. Currently only the Tropical/Pacific one is available, but I believe the Carribean one is in the works.

    Best (digital) underwater photography reference

    Another thumbs up for Edge's book. I'd also suggest Master Guide for Underwater Digital Photography by Jack and Sue Drafahl. Also available for Kindle.

    Good flashlight that can withstand a surf entry?

    I think this is one of those posts where you're going to get a bunch of different opinions, based on individual user experience. You don't mention price criteria, or whether you're looking for primary or backup. Here are the two I use: for primary, the Titan Scula - Titan Dive Gear - SCULA -...

    Best dive log software

    I can understand your frustration, but I think you need to focus on the cause of the problem. Let's start with your last issue first - losing your dive data when you upgraded your iPhone. That was, more likely than not, because you did not have secure backup enabled in iTunes. Simple backup does...

    New IconHD Net Ready Firmware is available

    It is not yet supported by the Mac software. Downloading maps as well. I've gotten around it by using the Mares Windows Dive Organizer in a virtual machine on my Mac.

    PADI Rescue Diver course advice

    +1 on what decompression said. I've been diving for some time, and am 55 years old. I had not really considered rescue, but my son (who is 24) got into diving last year and we decided to do it together. We had a blast, and it was one of the most challenging and rewarding things I've ever done --...

    Worthington or Faber, what is the better choice?

    Sorry. I was going by the Worthingtons and my buddy's Faber that are, like you, in my garage. Mine are HPs. Maybe that's the difference.

    Worthington or Faber, what is the better choice?

    Not sure where you get that. Worthington (I have 2) weighs 33 pounds empty, versus 38.7 for the Faber. Buoyancy characteristics are -2.5/-10 empty/full for the Worthington, and -7.26/-14.76 for the Faber. I have a buddy with a Faber and you can definitely notice a difference. With all that said...

    Icon NET Ready and firmware update

    I can confirm that the firmware update was released today to those individuals who had asked to be included on an e-mail list (I am one). I was advised that the update will be available on the web site on Monday. I use a Mac, but am able to use Dive Log with a virtual machine (Parallels) for...

    'Trim' issues with steel tanks and warm water diving

    I've been using HP100s for about a year now, and couldn't be happier. I really do agree with some of the other posters that it could well be a fit issue with your BCD. It does need to be snug or you'll tend to get rolling and flopping. Mine got much better when I switched to a Mares Dragon -...

    Dive computers if price didn't matter????

    I'm a big fan of the Mares Icon HD Net Ready. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth the price? IMHO, absolutely. Huge, clear, bright color screen. Intuitive, easy to use and easy to learn. Great battery life. I've been diving with mine for about a year, in various conditions, and I couldn't be...

    Opinions on a Mares BCD

    Plus 1 on the Mares Dragon. An excellent BC. I've also used a Mares Icon, and my son has a Mares Prestige. Never an issue with the weight pouches. Because they don't use velcro as part of the mechanical attachment system, like an Oceanic for example, I have a strong feeling that most if not all...

    Mares Icon HD Net Ready Connect USB to Mac

    This is from an e-mail that went out yesterday to registered users on the Mares support site from Sergio Angelini, Mares' Director of R&D. It was sent as part of an announcement regarding the 1.3.1 update: "I know most of you are frustrated about the unstable USB connection, this is not fixed...

    Mares Icon HD Net Ready Connect USB to Mac

    Peter: It is the same person who did Jdive - I learned this from the developers of Dive Log DT. He's also the person that you're forwarded to from the Mares support site. An email exchange with him confirmed to me that he really does not understand the problem, and obviously does not know what...

    Mares Icon HD Net Ready Connect USB to Mac

    With all due regard for Mares, and I do highly regard their products, they have no idea what they're talking about. The programmer they're using is just clueless. I have a MacBook Pro running Lion. For the VM, I use Parallels with Win XP. I've used the Mares Win Dive Log to update firmware and...
