Hello, I will be in Sydney and looking for a boat dive (2 or 3 dives) on Jan 26. Any recomondations on what boats or dive stores to go thru? Thanks Phil

Just to add to the education process, here is one of the best discriptions of VPM that I have run across: VPM For Dummies - Rebreather World Phil

I have the Atomic frameless mask. Best mask I owned so far! I have had it for about 14 months. The seal around the face started to degrade so I called Atomic and they said just return it to the shop you bought it from and they will exchange it. Brought it back to Beach City scuba and they...

Carabeandiver, please pass the popcorn :popcorn:, Dave give me a beer :rofl3: (~120' on air)

PerroneFord, Some divers will do good after a few hundred dives. Some are bad after 1000+. In general, it comes down to the type of dives you do, frequency of dives and the dive partners you have. In the last three years, I have learned 70% of my total dive knowledge (~300 dives) but I have...

Ian, Go to Rebreather World - Rebreathers for Scuba Diving - the next step and most of your questions will be answered. I have dove my Meg at both Vet Park (Redondo Beach) and Laguna. Usually I just use up some leftover scrubber material from other dives. One thing about a RB - you need to...

Hi Lorenzo, I have also started to dive a CCR here in socal. I'm diving a Meg and have about 30 hours on the unit so far. Send me a PM, I would like to go on RB boat! Phil

Mark, Nice report, I agree with this type of teaching. AG did the same thing in his wreck pen course. He is an excellent instructor! Phil

John, I will be there diving at Casino Point Thursday & Friday (I know you wil probably be there Sat). If you want to stay over night, try Seaport Village Inn. 310-510-0344. They did both the Catalina Express & room for $106 (Thursday night only). The taxi to and from the Express terminal...

Hi all, Dove with a new buddy last week and he put on his DUI dry suit (no gloves) and then put on the gloves and made the zip seal connection. I then questioned him about the integraty (SP?) of the seal and he stated "never had a problem". Anyone else doing this? I ask because I have a set...

Relevant info: I was swapping out Rockboots for the turbo soles. My normal shoe size is 8 or 8.5, my foot length is 9.5" :eyebrow: DUI recommended the ML (10.5" in) size. http://www.dui-online.com/pdf/size_chart_divewear.pdf The turbo soles were 1 inch too large and this affected my...

Is it wrong to be cheering for the sharks? It's the Darwin awards!!!

Dannobee has the answer! Have some chauk and aquaseal ready to fix the problem. Mark the wet spots and then cover with Aquaseal. I have done this procedure twice - it is the best and quickest way to find and repair leaks. If you want it done right, do it yourself! If you don't find any, its...

Vinstigator, If you like doing wrecks at 100', skip the pony bottle setup and start thinking of doubles - many more diving options. But be warned, the skill level of diving doubles, wrecks and all that comes with it takes time & training (and money). If you do go and get a pony bottle as an...

Wecome Jack, The CeeRay is about average here in Calif. I like the Sundiver because it is close to my home. As far as equipment, I use Scuba Toys here in Cypress for local sales and http://www.leisurepro.com for other sales. You will get a great price from LP but I have never had to deal...

Hi Jan, I will be there tomarrow night - I will have a look! Good diving with you this weekend Phil

Hi Christian, I will be able to make it for the first dive only. Looking forward to meeting some of the people here on the board. Phil

Congratulations on passing Tech 1, Looks like your practice paid off! I will be looking for pointers from you guys. Phil

Black dog, Welcome. I had one of these BCDs, never had any problems like yours. Too much weight is probably the problem. This BCD does have some weight pockets in back. You can put upto 5 lbs in each side. I would never put more than 30% of your total weight in the back pockets. It should...
