http://www.scenic.org/lcl/2002lcl/gaviota.html Gaviota is the last stretch of land along the coast of california and now someone is trying to build a bunch of multi-dollar mansions in the middle of it.

30 dives and they're already coming apart? Mine's aren't deteriorating that fast. Do you put them with all your other gears when travelling, rinse them after every set of dives, rest on the bottom with your fin tips a lot, etcetcetc.... Btw, for those who don't get enough powers from the...

A medicine called the Marezine(that the right word?) is the only medication available right now that is both a preventative AND a cure, go check w/ ur local pharmacy. If you can't find any, buy other preventative and take them the night before. Please tip the crew, they get payed very little...

Mares is still here and going strong. But hey, look on the bright side, maybe they'll add integrated gps systems or anti-shark deflector shields on those lil suckers sometimes soon :eyebrow: .

Guacamole guacamole guacamole and chips

Hm...... all my dives so far are with at least one instructor or ppl w/ over 200 logged dives........ guess I'm really spoiled. Always turning down people with very few dives....

Hm........ never had problems w/ catching kelps, eel grass, or my buddy's wreck reel on the fin straps before, maybe you should be more careful. ;) You can also check the dive rite fin straps. http://www.dive-rite.com/products/maskfins/fins.htm

I think it's all part of the strategy they have to have mares taking over the entire scuba operation world wide, which to me makes more sence to have both dacor and mares at the same time.(their price range isn't THAT different in my opinion, eventhough mares is somewhat higher) However, Mares...

The Atmos 2 is a very good computer eventhough in my opinion Aeris isn't as competative as companies like scubapro, aqualung, or mares. The model it uses is a liberal one.(not necessarily a bad thing, just saying it cause if you dive w/ some1 who uses maybe a suunto which uses a more...

True, but Tigers and volos are built upon the same design (for those who don't know, mares and dacor belong to the same company), and eventhough I haven't seen a lot of tigers yet, I can imagine the wear and tear issue.

Just out of curiosity, do you use a back inflate/plate&wing or a jacket style bc?

It can be worse, they can have a lighter and a joint inside the next bell.

I know most people don't do this, but I open up one of the lp and one of the hp port of my atmoic once in a while to check for moisture and purge if I see any water drops.(usually don't happen)

Eh..... Haven't seen any1 with serious strap problems, the mares fins all use the same kinda strap.(I think)

The tip of the two ridges are being torn away from the rubber/neoprene frame slowly but surely. I'm working on my AI right now so I constantly have to settle down on the bottom which fastens its deterioration, but I've seen people with the ip of the ridge(s) completely detatched from the frame...

ITs even more fun when the vis is one inch and there's a 10 swell.... just make sure you're not using a sharp knife.

I don't think the main point of the ppb class is to shed pounds(though it certainly can be one of the reason), but to take the class just to shed pound is a very poor argument. We all learned in our OW class how to reach perfect weighting, so you really don't need to take a class just to do...

Thomas' buoyancy system is awesome.... deciding between that and oms right now. Another question: Do the tech-wing/plate systems have quick drop for integrated weight pockets? Doesn't seemed like it on the catalog.

Eh..... see if you can get a better deal from apeks =P

I was doing a lobster dive on the opening "day"(or night), after getting out of the surf zone I told myself "I have too many stuff hanging on my bc." I am now beginning to look into inflator octo combo...
