I tend to get that periodically throughout a dive too. Air from my exhaust gas comes up along my face and a little seeps into the hood. My hood is old and doesn't have a vent on it, but I don't care. You may be getting more air than I am, but to be honest, I kinda like it. As the air gets traped...

Anyone mind if I resurect this thread? I'm looking to make my own DPV, but I'm going to go the way of PVC. I'm pretty sure I have the main body, battery, and general concept down, but the harder parts have to deal with the motor and controls. The one thing I was wondering is if it is possible to...

ok that's fine,.. I was just worried that I didn't have certain priveledges for some reason. I can wait it out. Thanks

I have the Sherwood Wisdom and am very happy with it. It's a solid computer with an easy to read display and fairly intuitive menu. My buddy has the Suunto Cobra and I like that one as well, but the Wisdom is comprable. The only thing I can't speak to is the computer interface, but that's just...

I know, I know,.. there are a ton of threads out there that discuss insurance. The problem is that there is an overwhelming amount of people that promote the DAN insurance. Now before you flame me, I know that fact alone should tell me that DAN is better, but I've looked at the coverage limits...

For the past few days I haven't been able to leave feedback for someone that I bought a drysuit from. Each time I would try, the feedback page just wouldn't load. I figured it had to do with the site updates I had read about. Just now when I tried, the page finaly loaded, but said that I didn't...

My buddy and I got certified through AquaWorld in Cancun three years ago and have had consistently good service through them. We even made a second trip down there two years ago and dove exclusivly with AW. With that said, there is no question that the operators down there are laid back,.. but...

What's your definition of Scuba Friendly? I've only heard of people refering to hotels as Scuba Friendly and that's just because us divers tend to get carpets wet, leave stuff out to hang dry, carry "hazerdous" compressed air with us, and sometimes track in sand. Some hotel operators don't take...

Andi, Panic is just a fact of the matter. Each persons response to a possible panic situation will vary widely. I also learned in/around Cozumel and I am fully aware that the mask clearing excercise there can be painful due to the salinity of the water. (BTW, I always close my eyes when I clear...

Monterey Bay Dive Center (MBDC to us locals) is one of the biggest names here and they do daily two-tank boat dives off off the "Silver Prince" for about $55 (i think). They are overall a good dive shop, but their general prices seem to average higher than other places. Recently I've been...

Thanks for everyone's quick (and thorough) responses. To be honest I am an intermediate diver and have perhaps 100 dives. I am well aware of the added complications of a drysuit and I want to make sure I get the right training without sacrificing safety. Although I am aware that there are divers...

Personally I love a one peice and detest two peices. Two peice Farmer John's in my experience are too restrictive and make me feel like a penguin. Plus since you are doubling up on the neopreme in the main body area, you will need to wear more weight than you would wearing a single peice. But on...

Hi guys, I just purchased a slightly used drysuit from a member on here and it looks to be perfect for me. This weekend I went to several LDS's to check out Drysuit certification courses and the prices varied widely (anywhere from $250 to $140). One shop owner even tried to talk me out of...
