The Sport Chalet in San Diego has all that and always has a better price than the independent shops. every time I have done a price comparison gloves, boots, hoods what ever Sports Chalet is always the best price. When they do their big tent sale you can really get some good deals.

I dive in SoCal (coldish), 7mm wetsuit, LP95 steel tank, Deep Sea Supply BP and 30# wing - no problem.

Probably the best quality and functionality on the market. I have the same set up except for a 30# wing. This will go fast.

also remove the hose protectors - they just trap salt water and don't really protect against anything

yes, at the end of a dive at the 10' stop, the instructor would have me dump air (purging the back up second stage) until less than 500# . We did this multiple times.

I did the DUI demo day a few years ago at Lake Rawlings (sp?) in Virginia. DUI runs a tight ship. I was impressed with how well organized it was both in and out of the water. I did two 20min dives in a group of less than 10 divers with one instructor. Couldn't have been any easier.

At the end of my advanced class (REC 2) with UTD, I dropped 4 pounds off my rig. Getting your trim just right makes a big difference.

Check out the follow link, its mentions damage to luggage as well. Airlines rarely pay full compensation to bumped fliers

I am also interested in this band. I have seen them in my dive club and they look pretty good. I like the zippered neck.

I buy everything used (Craig's List) except Boots and gloves. The trick is knowing what you want and hunting for it instead of shopping. For example, I wanted a Deep Sea Supply BP/W, it took a while but I got it off Craig's List for a song.

Chances? What difference does it make, you've already bought them. Take them to a shop that does that kind of work and see what happens. I recommend using a shop that actually does the work there and does not send it out. Additionally, if the shop you pick says they are beyond repair take...

I have a DSS horseshoe wing and dumping air through the "butt" valve is no problem. It's likely with a doughnut wing the tank is pressing on the bottom of wing. Bottom line: it doesn't make much difference. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great game! Hey, what do I know? Except my daughter and money go to Auburn.

Auburn will win and it won't be close. Although on paper FSU looks pretty good but the key factor is their schedule. FSU as not been challenged or tested like Auburn and that will show in tonight's game. Note: The fact that my daughter is a Junior at Auburn and at the game has only slightly...

I log dives using an excel spreadsheet which is pretty painless, I usually do about 10 entries at a time which is how many my bottom timer holds. I also submit survey data to Reef.org which also acts as a log book, sort of. I use the "I just don't log dives" because "I'm not saying" isn't an...

I think the avaliability of a reliable buddy is a big factor in diver retention - especially immediately following the initial training. If it weren't for my dive club, Power Scuba, here in San Diego I would not dive nearly as much and may even have drifted away in the first year. ----------...

I agree with your action of reducing the tip and including the note about why. Calling someone out during the SI can be hard and not everyone is comfortable doing so. Sometimes divers with cameras (call them photographers or whatever) can take up some room both in and out of the water...

Don't make this to hard. Quick rinse and forget about it. I only dive SW and have never had a problem.

Similar experience UTD, I have taken classes through Rec 2 and no one has ever said anything about my DSS BP/W nor have they ever tried to fix a skill problem with an equipment purchase. They seem to have a pretty inclusive attitude concentrating on skill more than equipment.
