I really love drift diving. Fun and pretty easy. There are a few skills you could practice in a lake, depending on the dock/boat/beach configuration. Knowing what to expect is key, so read scubaboard. Maybe if you can get the PADI Advanced Open Water book, read about boat and drift diving...

You can't make your suitcase theft proof, and you can't put everything in you carry-on. You're just playing the odds no matter what. The only thing you can do is shift the odds a little, mostly by doing the obvious. Of course, don't put anything small and valuable in the bag (like a wedding...

Yea, I think that happens a lot online. Some things, depending on how they are spoken, can be funny and jovial or mean and snarky. Written online, it is much harder to interpret. I think that is the source of many of the 'disagreements' here. Face to face, the participants would probably be...

Interesting comments about the Aladdin computer. I had one of those and download directly to my PC via the IR port. It was a sketchy process at best. My Aladdin Prime suffered from battery life problems (which I hear was common) after initial replacement. I don't miss it, and prefer my Geo...

Update everyone! Sorry for the gap in communications. I modified the design a little, closing the gap between the legs, and increasing the hole diameter for the bungee. Today I printed and assembled a bending jig. It isn't perfect, but much better than the freehand method. Once the shipment...

@kat6699 What did you do??

Hi all, I'm using the words carefully, not saying 'log' or 'record' because they could have multiple meanings. I'm curious how many people capture and save data from their dive computer.

Really? Maybe I'm again falling into that trap of believing that everyone else thinks like I do... :) I couldn't fathom not downloading and saving my dive data. I consider it a requirement of a good diver. As an engineer, I spend a lot of time analyzing data, and would consider even one...

So clue me into how this works. I'm making an assumption that it allows webbing to slide more easily between the waist and shoulder. You slide webbing to the shoulder to allow easy donning, then slide some webbing back to the waist before cinching the buckle? Is this intended for surface...

CocoView in Roatan had great variety for new and experienced divers. Love the Front Yard for classes and two walls! Boats have a ladder under/through the hull in case the seas ate rough, can be a great comfort to be divers.

Yes, I would go stainless and/or weighted STA if appropriate. However, my main goal, and I think the OPs goal too was to have a lightweight travel rig. Personally my scuba luggage is usually close to breaking the weight limit, not the size limit. I'd like to travel as light as possible, and...

I was wondering if I could put 4 small pockets on the backplate, one in each corner where the webbing passes through as you've described. It would allow trimming toward head or feet, which is something I like. And it would keep the weight lower (when horizontal), increasing stability compared...

Many people have had different experiences and good reasons to do what they choose regarding diving excursions. Take my feelings as just one data point. Plus, I know this is not exactly addressing the OP question. I copied my own previous post for you here: My experience diving through...

You must have a driver or only use public transportation or maybe offline google maps. I have to drive all over the countryside looking for my destinations, and would likely still be lost somewhere between Warsaw and Manchester if I didn't have data on my phone. I could survive on Wifi and...

I like to buy a local sim when I travel. It's cheap and easy in most locations. 6 weeks in Italy and Germany cost me about $40 total, with unlimited local calls and more data than I could need. Skype, iMessage, WazzApp, and Facetime Voice all work via data for calling or messaging friends and...

There are some cooler features in the Z-axis on a standard 1" dominator. Maybe you could add those to help secure the edges a little better.

Hi all, I'm back from Germany, recovered my crashed RAID box with my taxes before 4/15, and finally am working on the project again. Today I tested some cutting parameters (power, speed, and number of passes). I haven't quite dialed it into a good setting to minimize plastic melting during...
