Just got back from a week of diving off AC. Took my Sharkskin full suit and core warmer (top). Did some dives (generally first of the day) in core warmer and board shorts. Did some others in just the full suit. Cloudy and windy I used them both. Can't go wrong with that setup. Full suits in the...

Glad to hear you had a great trip...and thanks for posting the report! It's always good to hear how things turned out. Can I assume your son is now hooked? :D

Yup. You're right.

I carry three GoPros...because you need that many to part them out over a week's diving. We're not going to carry them any more; I'll let Best Buy deal with them. Thanks for all the input on the Intova, though. Looks like an excellent alternative.

This used to be a marketing thread, didn't it? Sorry to have been AWOL. I was in Belize with a group of 28, ranging from low 20's to late 60's in age. Next month we're in Bonaire with, I think, 32 or so--same age range. Then, in April, we're taking 62 to Coz, including a bunch of junior open...

I haven't forgotten everyone. Just out diving in Belize. I'll be back next week and will work on a follow up and plan. Thanks to the few who've responded. I'd love to hear from others. Mark

Hey, thanks. I'd take that bet any day. I have a Barrett bull pup and bought it after shooting a buddy's M82 (now that there's a real man's gun) and you can shoot either one offhand, so long as you're big enough and prepared. I don't shoot mine often enough but, if I did, I'd sell it and buy...

I must have missed a post. Which gun are we talking about?

To answer your question, probably Amigos Del Mar. Biggest, fastest boat, good staff, most experience.

You know, I get the "better safe than sorry" concept and, as the poster child for sand flea attacks--as well as having had a botfly larvae extracted from my head--dengue fever has never been much of a concern for me in Coz, nor have there been many reports of it. Please understand I'm not...

Although I've never heard of such serious CS issues with Atomic, and we sell a fair amount of their products, there is an option: Shameless self-promotion :D

I did the first trip that Dr. Guggenheim (Ocean Doctor) ran under his newly-approved program. It's under the auspices of the US Treasury Department, so you can imagine how long it took and how much fun the process was. It is a people-to-people, cultural exchange program and I thoroughly enjoyed...

We have a similar program, but it's called "take a tank." We didn't come up with it but it seems to work well. In it, the customer pays about the same as she would for a new tank but never actually owns one. Instead, any time she wants a tank, she just comes in and takes one of our rental...

Thanks Steve! Actually, I was kinda' thinkin' that someone else might want to get me a sample. We sell, in technical terms, a s***load of Stahlsac mesh bags around here...none of the say DiVentures on them, even though we've asked multiple times. Just thinkin';) Mark

I have to admit that I've learned a lot (and am continuing to do so) from this thread. I've also enjoyed some telephone conversations with some very interesting and smart folks as a result. And, I have the suspicion that I may get to know and become a customer of a couple or three vendors. That...

April 17-21 for us at Hotel Coz, diving with Dive Paradise. Should be hard to miss as it looks like we'll have about 60 in tow. Would love to add to the crew or just enjoy a Sol or two with anyone there when we are!

I just ordered one. Optics are on backorder (what is this--the scuba business!?) so, as an interim solution, I'm thinking about mounting three Nightforce Varminters end-to-end. May have to extend the rail for that. I figure I'll be able to drill a horsefly a couple of counties over and still...

Hehehe. I like that. Think it could boast a DiVentures logo? Think Pete would send me his so I can take a look at it? ---------- Post added January 29th, 2014 at 07:32 PM ---------- Pink. You need pink. Trust me.

Thanks Steve. Glad to hear that. I'll agree, we're looking at a big mountain. However, I've seen a few before and I'm willing to work pretty hard to effect change in this business. We already are. I welcome the help and support. By the way, it's a small world. My house on Beaver Lake is south...
