My buddy is going on vacation for a couple of weeks, and I'm going to borrow her UFL-165AD while she's gone. I hope to get out on a boat again on 2/13 (and given the rain, I probably won't be able to shore dive before then anyway), so I'll be able to test it for real (finally) then. I'm also...

That's extremely interesting. There's nothing about a plain AD (non-28AD) adapter on the Fisheye site. I'll have to give Reef a call and ask what's up. I'm going to be pissed if I wasted nearly $200 on an adapter when a different one would have been better...

I hope you realize that I agree with you 100% on this. Honest specs help everyone.

Good news for everyone. :)

I'm willing to dive when it's cold and rainy, since I have a drysuit. My wife doesn't feel the same, in her wetsuit (esp as a new diver). And regardless of surface conditions, with high surf to enter through (no convenient Casino Pt. staircase) and vis expected to be in the 1-2' range, if...

Yes, we've been over this... although I'll note my post was before your extensive rant on TDS. "All current Intova lights are advertised as using 4.7w CREE LED's, although the true wattage figure is a bit lower" Better? Might want to contact Intova and tell them to change their...

Copied from another board, re the Mini Torch:

Peace, in general, only does 2-day trips. They very rarely do 3-day trips, and I've never been on one. So we're talking a nice little soak in the tub after day 1's dives are over. Day 2, I've gotten in every once in a while on the ride home, but rarely... I'm usually either zonked out or busy...

Seems best to me, too. Bummer. :depressed:

Bubbletrubble: Just for the record, I'm not aware of any DCS incidents on the Peace that have had anything to do with the hot tub. I usually dive dry these days, so IF I get into the hot tub at all, it's only at the end of the day. On especially cold days, I'll soak my hands between dives for...

Common sense should make that pretty clear, but I'll take a stab at it. Coating a fairly flat, smooth hard weight is very simple. The Tool Dip does a decent job. Coating soft weights causes other issues, however. First, are you coating just the lead spheres (opening the bag, removing...

Yes, a trip on the Peace. In February. ;)

Tool Dip has been used by many to coat hard weights, but I don't see that working out well for soft weights.

For multi-day trips, I definitely have to give the nod to the Peace. There aren't a lot of options for multi-day trips, though. The Truth fleet out of Santa Barbara is the most luxurious in the whole SoCal fleet, but no Nitrox is just plain bizarre, there. Frankly, for single-day trips, the...

Of course, you can't buy one today even at $64, to my knowledge. These things (220) aren't shipping from anywhere yet, unless I've missed something.

I highly suggest you give Tobin at DSS a call. He'll be able to tell you, based on your size, whether the small or medium plate would be the appropriate size for you. Nothing beats advice straight from the horse's mouth (as it were). :)

You just have to be the right person to ask. :eyebrow: ;) Thanks, Howard, that was fast! :kiss2: I guess it's not super tough to get running, or are you just that cool?

They might have. It might be helpful to have the same measurement as I did in my 3rd shot, above (with my macro lenses), if anyone has the UFL-165AD lens handy. One thing I don't fully have my brain wrapped around is how these lenses focus. I assume they have to be a very precise distance...

Bump. I second the notion!

California Dive Boats : The Official Page Best bet is probably the Magician, which is a great local dive boat, and which is heading out to Catalina on the 6th, on a recreational Sport Chalet charter. Just call the number listed in the calendar to book a spot. Another good option is the Great...
