I've been staying at the Royals for the past 25 years. (There are four of them - five if you count Club International which is still in the Royal family although it doesn't have the "Royal" moniker) My parents own four weeks at various Royal locations. While the Royal family of resorts are not...

That housing is friggin' huge! And the speakers?! I'm begining to doubt my purchase. I mean,.. how can I go into the water with these things on? Everyone's gonna laugh at me! Heck,.. I'm gonna laugh at me. I suppose the picture on the site represents them well enough, but I thought that the...

All I have to say is even if I went to give blood, fell asleep while waiting for someone, and woke up with a needle in my arm,.. I would be very upset. That is unacceptable. I understand that this is the joke forum,.. but that's just not right.

I want to buy a dive skin for several warm water dives (for sun/sting protection) and also to use under a 7mil wetsuit (for easier donning/doffing). Everywhere I look someone is touting the benifits of dive skins to make wetsuits easier to get on, but what they don't say is wheter or not they...

Tek is right about one thing, nothing should happen. Nothing bad should ever happen with the proper mainenance, experience, and training. But that line of thinking when it comes to safety is seriously flawed. The problem with his philosophy is that things do happen. No matter how experienced...

According to the NTSB, the answer is yes. You should be able to take any form of electronics (within reason). The only recent change to carry on items are liquids & gells.

Sorry to break into the thread, but... I Did it!.... I read all 74 pages of this stinkin thread and I finaly got to the end! Woo Hoo! And to you cops out there,.. Thanks and keep up the good work.

I don't think we can take our computers (or any electronics) as carry-on's for the next few months thanks to the recent terror scare in the United Kingdom. NEVERMIND... i just checked it out and they are still letting computers and electronics on as carry-on's, but I wouldn't be surprised if...

I don't have any experience with your symptoms, but it sounds like ear trouble. At least that would explain dizzyness and the vertigo,.. but what do I know,.. I'm not a doctor.

So I just got a pass for 17-mile drive and wanted to see if anyone recomended Stillwater cove or could tell me more about it. It looks like an easy dive, but I didn't know if there was anything worth seeing. If I remember correctly, the vis board at Aquarius consistently shows good vis over...

What,.. no pictures of the proposal?

Yeah, that's the one I got. It probably is more BC than what I need, but I figure it gives me something to grow into. Besides, I started out with a very basic Dacor jacket style BC and now I've outgrown it (physically and experience-wise) :D . I know it's a good BC, but I guess I'm just not used...

Sure. I haven't had the chance to use it yet, but I'm anxious to. So far it seems like it's a solidly constructed BC with plenty of D-rings (total of 10) and generous padding at the lower back. If you are a fan of pockets though, you should consider something else. The Zone only has a small...

Maybe I made a stupid decision to buy it, but as they say,.. it seemed like a good deal at the time. The biggest reason I was doubting the set-up was because I looked at the system and thought about the logistics. It just didn't seem right to rely on the 'fabric' of the BC to be the only thing...

Hi, I just purchased a used Riptide Zone back-inflate system and I'm at a loss on how to configure it. It was delivered to me without tank straps or any kind of rigid plate (The BC has an opening in which to intall a plate). According to what I've read, it sounds like you can use this BC...

You could use Vodka,.. I know, sounds strange, but they did an episode of mythbusters on it a while ago and it worked out well. Of course I don't know if the neopreme will react with it, but you could test it first. Just an idea...

So I just received a gently used Riptide Zone BC off of Ebay, but I have a strange question. I noticed that the BC doesn't have much of a structural support to it by itself, although I know it's designed so that you can add/change backplates to it. Should there be any kind of plate in the BC...

Personally I use divernet.com, scubadiving.com, & sportdiver.com. These are the three I follow closely, but I also do thourough searches on-line. If there are any more that are any good,.. I'd love to know.

I am willing to bet they never even touch Hawaii. At most they might churn up the water a bit, but there is no way that these are actually going to touch dry land.

Anywhere I travel that may include some diving, the very least amount of dive gear that I always bring is my regulator setup and air-integrated computer. I keep them in a separate bag and it's a carry-on staple. Do you need to bring your own reg setup? Certainly not. Is it a good idea...
