    White's Fusion vs. DUI

    I have a few dives in a DUI TLS and own an OSSystems SARR Drysuit. Because of my size - 5' 10", 320 lbs with a 56" waist, I couldn't fit into the TLS for my height, and ended up using one for someone 6' 6". Needless to say, I looked like a Sharpea Dog with all the excess material in my legs...

    Does this reg need service?

    What is the servicing interval required to maintain the reg's warranty? If you want to maintain your warranty, you need to go by that regardless of how little the reg was used. Besides, if it's over a year, you should have it serviced regardless. Take care, George

    The United States of America

    G-D bless all those who have fought, as well as to all who are fighting against oppression and to keep the world free. May we NEVER forget them or their families who also sacrificed much in their absence. A special thanks to my Dad, a Corpsman with the Marines in the Pacific, my Stepdad who...

    Have you ever been entangled?

    Over the years I've had to remove, untangle and replace my scuba unit. Mainly when diving from a NE dive boat where the "same day, same ocean" buddy system is generally in effect. Being an instructor who is always demonstrating this technique, it was never a big deal. Never had to do it while...

    Recon Sidemount System

    Hello Dwain, As a self taught side mounter, I may not be the best to comment, but from what I can see, your set up seems pretty good. Hopefully more experienced/better trained SM'ers will be able to pitch in with more useful information. Question: will both your recons be...

    Large and In Charge

    In many (probably most) cases this is correct. But there are medical conditions which can cause it also. There are some people who eat healthy and are active, yet are still overweight, under a doctor's care and still do not loose weight. Weight gain is a side effect of many medications too.

    CMAS Divemaster to PADI Instructor

    Dakar, If you are already a CMAS *** diver, why not just become a CMAS * instructor? Not that you'd need to, but then all you would have to do to become a PADI (or any other agency instructor) is do a cross over. BTW, it's easier to cross over from CMAS instructor to PADI instructor than...

    poseidon xtreme - comment

    Hi Trimix2dive, My results are the same as yours. My 21 year Odin is still going strong and has been down as deep as you. I've upgraded to an XStream Duration about 5 years ago, and again the same, no failures. Another feature of both of these regulators is that I can also use them for Ice...

    DM's/ instructors on vacation.

    Hi Walter, The BWRAF is from the Padi Course and stands for Begin With Review And Friend. The B is for BCD - and one of the things to look for is that it is inflated enough for + buoyancy on the surface.

    They Didn't Peel Off the Sticker

    When a cylinder comes in for a visual inspection, all accessories such as wraps and boots come off. Just like when your automobile is inspected, the old inspection sticker comes off. The cylinder has to be as "naked" as possible for a true examination. No, not every sticker has to come off, but...

    SPOILER * Star Trek Movie 2009 * Reviews and Comments

    Just saw the movie yesterday, and totally enjoyed it. Yes there are some definite changes from the Star Trek of old, but this is actually explained by the fact that some happenings in the movie changes the way things were. It (IMHO) does not hurt the movie at all and actually makes it able to...

    DM's/ instructors on vacation.

    Two questions: 1) The court had a very improper view of the function of the BCD - it is NOT a device to inflate and bring the diver to the surface. Can this basic misunderstanding affect the outcome of the case. Wrong facts are wrong facts - period. 2) Alot was made of a buddy's obligation to...

    Leisure Pro Pricing

    Of course there are those pesky full service Brick & Mortar Dive Centers who are not only large internet dealers but also fully authorized dealers who can/will price match any other authorized dealer. Sounds like the best of all worlds if you ask me.
