Next year April I get married, and my fiancee and I have decided we'd like to do some diving as one of our honeymoon activities (Lucky bugger aren't I:D) Anyway, we've narrowed down the field to include: -Mozambique -Mauritius -Madagascar -Seychelles -Maldives -Zanzibar Firstly...

1. Suunto Stinger Not air integrated at all I would recommend it if you had the budget for it. If I were to replace the Stinger I'd look at either the Suunto D6 or Mares Excel It was thge only wrist computer at the time of purchase (2001) Weight above water Covers all aspects of the diving...

Luckily this isn't a mistake that I've made. I still dive with all the original gear I bought 8 years ago except for my mask and weight belt which I recently replaced. My fiancee has just started diving and and she wanted a dive computer and together we made the decision to get her a Mares...

First shark I ever encountered was a Giant Hammerhead and I swam towards it...mainly because it was just at the limit of vis and I wanted a better look. Also dived with lots of Raggies (Sand Tiger), a few Zambezi (Bull), some more Hammerheads, and then a Black Tip Reef shark

Thats an excellent point. I was going to propose to my fiance underwater, but decided against it because I knew how excited she'd get, either hyperventalating or shooting for the surface.

Yes, the stinger scrolls backwards from the most recent to the first.

I can highly recommend the M-24 mask. I recently got one as a replacement of my 7yr old mask which developed a small annoying leak. The skirting on the M-24 is soft and very comfortable. I love the adjustable strap angle and the view is good too. It's also got quite a low volume, but...

While I agree that an integrated computer display in your mask is the way of the future, I feel that the current products are still in early infancy and have a long way to go before I'll even consider getting one. I'd say give it 5 years to become mainstream

My fiance used one on her OW course and i fiddled a bit with it between dives. What we liked about it was that it has a nice large display and was easy to use. It's also cheap What we didn't like about it was that it only has one button, but I suppose one would get used to navigating through...

Mythbusters from Discovery channel had a nice pressure tester which they used on a few myths. Seemed pretty simple to make too!

Thanks for the comments guys. I realise that both of these cameras are pre-historic in terms of what is available today, but in all honestly, you can barely even buy one cheap digital camera for the price of these two, they were basically a steal. Both cameras and housings are in pristine...

I feel the exact same about my Stinger which I purchased in April 2001. Still using it...in fact it's now at the stage where I need to replace the strap...:)

I'm about to buy a couple of old 2nd hand cameras, basically for happy-snap cameras for myself and my girlfriend. The cameras are as follows: Sony DSC-P93 with Sony MPK-PEA underwater housing and Sealife Reefmaster DC310 (Could be a DC3100...I've not seen the cameras yet) I know...

Wow, talk about the past coming back. I've just done a search on the forum, and low-and-behold, my first and pretty much only thread, appeared in the results, so I thought I might as well comment, even if I am bringing back the dead. I kinda fell out of diving for a few years, but am back...

Hi Jana, I dive with a Suunto Stinger, while not being a Cobra, it is essentially the same computer (without air integration). I have never had the computer lock me out before. Last weekend however, I did a dive in extremely cold water @ altitude (computer was setup accordingly), and...

Thanks very much. I'll check now for the nitrogen narcosis info :)

Hi all, I've been given a project to do. It involves a detailed explaination of exactly what Decompression Illness & Decompression Sickness are. If you could provide me with either a link to a site that explains this or provide a detailed explanation here. I also need information on...

yeah...thats them. I'm part of Diversity...not a big club...but definately fun

Heyya Scubadude. Did the chamber dive at Bass Lake.

Well to ty answer all the questions. 1.) I did adjust the Stinger for altitude 2.) the dive profile was as follows: - surface to 51m in 3 minutes - total bottom time was 4 minutes - steady surfacing speed of under 10m/min to 9m - stopped at 9m for 5 minutes -...
