    Dual D-160s Sustrobe ID on Conversion Circuitry

    Jean Two more questions. I've settled on the dual D160s. Will I set the conversion circuitry to DS125/DS200? Assuming so, just want to confirm. When I order a dome port, will it come with an O-ring or do I purchase that separately? Thanks again.

    Dual Strobes -- Primary -- Ready-Light

    Looking to purchase a DS160 (4060) (w/charger (4066)), DS51 (4044), SA-100s (4086.61) with the 4103.52 connector (housing to 2 DS), which will be connected to a Canon XTi housing. From previous threads and the Ikelite site it looks like the remote sensor was discontinued and the EV controller...

    What is too much safety !!!

    I don't think you can be too safe unless the gear creates a hazard. I dive a similar config less the shaker. I was recently coming up the line off a wreck (New England waters, 45 degree temp, 3 foot waves at the surface), when the mooring line snapped at 45ft. I let go not knowing what...

    What are the current water temps? 11/21

    I was on the dive as well. I was at 45ft when I heard the bang, looked up and saw the line go slack - my instinct was to let go because I had no idea if I had anything coming my way (didn't know if it was the boat.....). Did a controlled ascent and was back on the surface in just over a...

    MA Scallop Dives -- Non-residents

    Thanks guys, all great and helpful info. I've heard nothing but great things about Fran but have not been able to get out with him yet. I'm doing my PADI Wreck cert over the next month and my instructor is a big fan of Frans. Thanks again.

    MA Scallop Dives -- Non-residents

    I'm trying to find out what the law/regulations are for taking scallops off of Mass (Gloucester/Rockport) as a non-resident. I did the requisite web search (as well as asking a few boat captains and other divers) but can find nothing definitive. I'm sure someone has already solved this...

    Argon and Dry Suits -- How much warmer?

    Just started diving dry and have been in temps of 45 degrees and intend to keep diving during the winter (Northeast) and cooler waters. While comfortable, toward the end of the second dive I do start to get a little cool but I'm still comfortable. Anticipating I may be diving in cooler waters...

    Galileo SOL Bulge

    Sam, I just got mine last week and did my first dives with it yesterday. I would have never noticed the bulge (slight on mine) unless you had pointed it out. Operated flawlessly, and since it has a nice warranty on it, and others are seeing it, I'm going to take the leap and assume it will be...

    Places to dive near Boston?

    Cape Ann Divers will have non-divers on the boat on a space available basis, and I believe there is a small charge.

    Weight pouch found at Paddock Rock.

    I dove Paddock several weeks ago and the skipper from Cape Ann Divers was joking about a weight belt they knew was down there, several people saw, but didn't bring up. The shop may know who it belongs to.
