I complained to Scubapro Technical Services multiple times about my loss of signal problems with my Galileo. Each time, they asked if I had a dive light or a strobe, and of course the answer was always "yes". I always have either a big light or my camera when I dive. This explanation did kind...

Even on a liveaboard, the dive staff will likely come around and hose off all of the scuba units. That's not a complete cleaning, but it will help keep the salts from building up on the outside of it. I would say to do what you can and don't worry about what you can't do. I have been using a...

I can already tell you that among the people who congregate here, most will tell you to look at Little Cayman Beach Resort. Personally, I would say you should ALSO talk with Pirate's Point. If you want to save a bit, you can stay at Paradise Villas and then go out diving with Conch Club...

It should inflate your BC at about the same rate as a standard inflator. If not, something could be jammed in the inflator button. It's very easy to check: 1. Unscrew the cover on the back side of the AIR2 directly opposite the inflate button. 2. Once the cover is off, you will see a...

I'll be there Jan 5 - Mar 27. If you have time and want to go out shore diving, come look me up. I'm the last house before the lighthouse as you head west on the south shore. Bruce

Go back to your LDS and tell them to call either Jules or Eric (at Scubapro Technical Services). I too have an Aladin 2G and what you're describing is totally out of bounds.

No, Scubapro is supporting the dealer network and in turn the dealer network will support them. The technician at the LDS can look at the strap, verify the problem, then communicate with Tech. Support if there is a real problem so that they can fix it. I used to be a Scubapro dealer, so I...

Can somebody please tell me what the differences are between the Chromis and the Meridian? I have downloaded the user manual for each, and after reading them I come to the conclusion that these two computers have the same functionality. As I recall, they are approximately the same in price. I...

If your Aladin Prime is "eating" batteries, you should contact Scubapro technical support about it. There was a run of those computers which had a circuit error whereby the IR section never shut down when the computer was not being used. That would cause the batteries to drain prematurely...

I have been using a Galileo Sol for almost 6 years now, and I absolutely love it. I have almost 1000 dives on it and it has been flawless. What I find most amazing is that the wrist unit will go for about 400 hours of operation off a single battery. The transmitter batter battery lasts even...

Yes, 210 takes you off toward Lobos. I've gone that way before and it just drops away evenly down to around 100fsw, then flattens out. I don't remember a huge amount of structure going that way. If you head on a more northerly path, which I believe works out to about 270, then you get a lot...

Dave, when you go out at Butterfly House what heading do you take when you get out of the cove? Last time I went, I followed 290 and that was too northerly to get me over to the Outer Butterfly structure before I reached my turn point. The time before that I went at 240, and I made a note in...

Looking ahead to the winter, I see that the first full moon after the solstice occurs on January 16 and then the next full moon happens February 14. Do we expect the larger Nassau Grouper aggregation on Little Cayman to be that week of January 16 or is it more likely to happen the week of...

I'm with Chuck on this one: it is possible to get to better dive sites from a boat than it is by going from shore. As much as I like swimming out from the ramp at Whaler's, there's nothing I can reach in a surface swim that will compare with Allen's Arch, for example. The problem is that...

Welcome to California diving. It can be awesome...or it can be brutal. If you want to go out diving tomorrow, meet me at Aquarius Dive Shop on Del Monte at 9 a.m. Tomorrow looks diveable, though not awesome. But the interesting thing about Monterey is that you never know what you're going to get...

You must have a scooter down there! A few years ago I saw a couple of guys coming out with scooters, and now I wonder if you might have been one of them. Sorry, but at age 67 Cascades is just too much of a kick for me. I've gone out to Paul's Anchors, but that's my limit.

You might want to look up Hans Pogemeyer, who is both an avid U/W photographer AND an ER pulmonary MD at the Community Hospital of the Monterey Penninsula (CHOMP). I taught Hans a course a few years ago and was extremely impressed by him.

I have been to both and find the diving on Little Cayman vastly more interesting than Bonaire. I don't even think they are comparable. Once I discovered Little Cayman, I quit looking around for other places in the Caribbean. All of my diving on Little Cayman is shore diving, and I can get to...

To go shore diving in Jackson Bay, you're really going to need a car. (I tried riding a bicycle over there once with a tank and I'll never try it again.) The only place on the island where you can rent a car is at the Iguana Crossing. While Perry had a couple of very nice Honduran girls...

She has a two piece BARE 7mm. I think it was one she saw was a closeout, so she picked it up for a song. All of the major wetsuit manufacturers tend to change styles every year, and when they do they put last year's style on closeout and sell it for about half of what it cost before it went on...
