    When to use closed fins vs open fins?

    I sell both so there is no bias between the two. Generally I would agree with Fl-Diver, closed heel are the way to go, but having had first hand experience with the Caribe, I don't think I would want to rely on it's strength for any strong currents. I personally prefer the Volo Race (Closed...

    Solution in search of a problem

    :shakehead:I absolutely hate the use of this phrase!:lotsalove: I completely understand your angst over a "gadget" that you would not "waste money on" but don't tell a WORLD WIDE AUDIENCE, with habits and needs more diverse than I can imagine, that a product benefits "NO ONE" just because You...

    Suggestions for novel for hubby on airplane

    Where the Red Fern Grows (I can't remember the author)- kind of a kid book but I loved it. And "Catch 22!" (by Joseph Heller)- Hilarious, will keep anyone busy for long periods of time.

    Titan LX vs Delta 4, tell me what you think

    I dont remember the page link, but someone sent me an "Undercurrent" article saying that the Delta IV is the ONLY reg NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association) reccomends for any of its divers. I think it was in the July issue last year.

    I was asked by a friend to post this. She is looking to buy a new digital camera, but has to sell this one first. I thought that there might be a collector, or someone needing parts for there camera, who might need this. She didn't give me a price, so please make an offer. Everything is...

    Oceanic Geo?

    I personally use the atom Air integrated wristwatch. I agree that Oceanic's software and computers are a great choice. I have four of the Geos here at my shop. They are very popular especially with the new colors. I will match prices according to the model you are interested in. I have...

    How do you judge or form an opinion on gear you have not tried?

    You completely prove my point. You have added NO constructive critisism whatsoever. All you have done is chew out things you don't have the ingenuity to invent yourself. Stop wasting board space with your neanderthalic negativity And I don't understand your problem with my mask solution...

    How do you judge or form an opinion on gear you have not tried?

    For those of you who worry about losing masks, I use a Quick Disconnect Lanyard (Innovative Scuba Concepts : Worldwide Distributor of Fine Diving Accessories...) with one end looped around my mask and the other looped around a D-ring on my high right shoulder. the length of this particular...

    Dive Computer recommendations- budget US$500

    It kinda depends on what you're looking for in a Computer. I love Oceanic's devotion to excellent customer service, so I would recomend either a GEO or a VEO 250

    Fold up fins, so you can easily walk into the water

    If they catered to the impaired it would severely cut into their consumer base. their ad strategy is great, Those with disabilities see their freedom back and those without see something easy to use.

    Fold up fins, so you can easily walk into the water

    When I talked to them at last year's DEMA Show they were already working on that very idea!

    Best reg for a newbie on a tight budget

    If you haven't already bought, Don't assume that she won't ever dive below 60'. Most of the best wrecks are 75 and below (even if you don't swim through them). If you end up purchasing a cheap, "Sport Piston" reg, it is extremely hard to breathe from at depth. At a minimum look at "Balanced"...

    Novice Buyer - Dive Computers/Watches

    I sell Oceanic so I may be biased that way, but I do think Suunto, and Uwatec are overpriced. I dive an Atom wrist watch, but that being Air Integrated (AI) runs about $959 MAP. If you don't have Regulators yet, AI is prob not for you because you'll need to install the transmitter every time...

    Bare Next Gen

    The Nex Gen was my first suit too about 4 years ago and I passed it on when I upgraded. With proper care it will last as long as many other suits out there, and I didn't baby it either. As far as undergarments, I was usually fine with some under armour and fleece, but I recently started...

    Who Makes The BEST CLOTHING FOR DIVING?

    I just found the Chammyz produts this year at DEMA. I love them. I can wear the liner alone and stay warm even in 30 degre temperatures. I took it on a Blackbeards trip with me and it worked great, though you'll want the full boat coat for something like that.

    Going crazy regarding which reg to consider

    I thought my Apex regs were awesome until I dove the Oceanic Delta 4/ FDX10, not to attack Apex/ Aqualung, just an observation. But as "hokie" says go with what your LDS can easily service. And balanced is best.
