    What brand /model speargun/ pole spear do you use?

    Thanks everyone, the info is much appreciated. Looks like we'll be checking into Riffe and Biller. We already have JBL and Cressi. I'm not an expert on spearfishing, so I'm learning as I go. Thanks Again, George

    Leisure Pro vs. Other Internet Retailers

    Hi Awap, You can be can be as skeptical as you would like. I'll give you a real life local example: A LDS near us carries Aqua Lung and Mares. This knocks out Aqualung, Apeks, Seaquest (all under the Aqua Lung Banner now) and Mares. We carry Aeris, Atomic, Cressi, Hollis, Oceanic, OMS...

    Wenoka Knives?

    Hello Whatthe21, and welcome to diving AND :sblogo: Wenoka Knives are excellent. I have 3 that are over 20 years old, and I'm still using them. The "Blackie Collins" line was at the high end of their product line. Hope this helps. Take care, George

    Why Isn't There a Free Market for Scuba Equipment?

    Gotta be careful with the Demo's and used part. We've been informed by several manufacturers that they consider Demo to be Used, even if it was nothing more than a display item, and as such we cannot offer any manufacturer's warranty, which is totally against our credo. Then on top of that, not...

    3 Year Old Boy Near-Drowning

    Hi Everyone, Finally read through this post today. In over 40 years working in Emergency Medical Services, I can count on one hand with fingers left over on the number of children who have been through what Charlie did and survived intact. In most cases, when CPR is done for over 30...

    Leisure Pro vs. Other Internet Retailers

    One of the reasons many LDSs complain about gray market is not that they aren't able to, or aren't willing to compete with gray market pricing - their dealership contract with the manufacturer forbids them to compete through the use of MAP and other rules. Same goes for online sales. Stores who...

    Starter Tech Gear

    I know, I know. However DR is generally good with giving us the scoop. If there were any plans on phasing out anything, we're usually one of the first to know. However, if this worries anyone, we also have several other brands that will certainly suit deep tech needs, like Atomic (in store only)...

    Starter Tech Gear

    OK, I was assuming (and yes, I do know what that means :D ) that they would be utilized for travel or deco. If you are staging for more bottom time, then you would definitely need regulators that are at least as high performance as your back gas regulators. They are being used for the same...

    Double bladder for a Halcyon back plate/harness??

    As for the double bladders, I've used them. Frankly they area nightmare. I used the double Dive Rite for cave class since I did it wet. I'll NEVER do that again. Why were they a nightmare? I've used OMS double bladder BCD's and haven't had a problem with them. What did you experience...
