I saw a Nova (??discovery channel..) video of these things where a diver got a bit close to one of these -- a striker variant -- and got his mask broken. The thing jumped at him and "punched" him in his mask, breaking it. I have heard that the spearer variants can really mess with your thumb or...

I have several dry bags. Use them for kayaking and when boating. They all have a roll top and are completely waterproof. I have gotten them at REI, or order them through NRS NRS - Kayaking Gear, Rafting Supplies and Boating Equipment.

Iridium's takeover of Globalstar (if it happens) will not automatically mean that the Iridium satellites will start monitoring spot transmissions. It depends on the kind of transponders on the satellites and their availability. Most up and down links to satellites are not in the VHF band (UHF or...

I learned to dive with a horse collar bc, from US divers. After certification I bought an ATpac (which I still have in my basement). The horse collar was particularly nice on surface swims, as all the flotation was under you. Nice getting across the tops of the kelp...

I am sure that your tailor could alter your wet suit, with a bit of practice. Do you wnat to provide the first dry suit for min/her to practice with? my suggestion is to find some one who already knows how..

Maybe they should do a cueisnart, if they own a trademark or two in the us. cuiesnart of america sold the french made line of kitchen equipment in the us for years, before the french company decided to cut them out and make more money. unfortunately, for the french, the cuiesnart trademark...

Never assume malfeasance when incompetence will do.

Well for bits like this i never order from my LDS. if they have it in stock, thats different.

Cricket (at otter bay) is also a good choice for alterations, or a new custom hooded vest. Also their custom 12mm hood is great.

Well my lawyer said that this was actually standard operating procedure for sales like theses. Only well documented liabilities are even considered in the sale. Other liabilities, that can not be fully quantified (how many 1/2 off scuba training certificates were issued?) generally remain with...

Another option is to go to otter bay, in monterey, and get a custom wet suit. It will fit well, and be warm. In the mid 70s to mid 80s they were required equipment for the Berkeley marine bio classes.

Nothing but snorkels. maybe 8 or 10. good reason not to wear a snorkel in the kelp.

this happened to me when i got certified the first time (i got re-certified after a long period of not diving). Shop closed on friday, reopened under new ownership on monday. new shop owner was NOT legally liable -- he had specifically not bought any of the shops liabilities. The sales...

Sounds great in many ways, but I won't use a twist head light underwater as I have twisted the wrong way, or a little too much and flooded a couple. I like switches that I can't screw up and flood the light

Well i have used the smaller UK lights for several years and like them. Have the Qsomething (small 4 AA cell one) and the long 4 and 6 cell ones (SL4 and SL6??). They have a easy operating switch on the front. I have gotten them at online discount places for about $20-$35 each. Scuba stores...

I dove Monterey with a 5/7mm hood for years, then with a 3mm vest with attached 5mm hood. Thought it was mostly great. Sometimes my feet or hands got a bit cold on the third or forth dive. Got the 12mm hood and love it, particularly on days with several dives or deeper dives. Like the fit too...
