I'm definitely keeping an eye on the camera for now. If it dies, I'll probably end up buying the same model again because I've been pretty happy with it otherwise.

On Tuesday, I went for a night dive with my G12 in Canon housing to celebrate some brand new tanks that came in that day. The tanks worked out great, but unfortunately I had some camera issues. At around the deepest part of the dive (~45ft), the battery indicator flashed and the camera powered...

When I visited PV in January, I booked with PVScuba. Because there were only 2 divers that day with PVScuba, they put us and one of their DMs on a Vallarta Undersea boat with their own 3 other divers and another DM. Everybody I dealt with from both outfits was great--friendly, organized...

Ha, I remember that movie. Here's the trailer for the American release: YouTube - Amsterdamned (US Trailer)

I haven't had too much trouble with air in my legs. The suit fits fairly snuggly around my legs since they're beefier than my upper body (I'm a cyclist), which seems to help. There was once on a training dive when I got a bit too inverted with air in my feet and had the sensation of floating up...

I definitely want to give the rubber belt a try. Regarding the weighting, I agree it seems high. Even in a 7mm farmer John + jacket I needed 20 lbs. As for the drysuit I'm still getting used to it. On the first dive, I thought I was weighted ok based on the weight check but could not stay down...

I'm diving a compressed neoprene drysuit in cold water with BP/W (steel backplate and STA) usually with steel tanks. With all of that, I need to carry 30lbs of lead. I've only done 5 dives in the drysuit so far but have done proper weight checks, so I feel pretty confident in the correctness of...

Just got back from doing a day of diving with PVScuba on Wednesday. Originally I had planned to do two days of diving, but some residual congestion from a head cold kept me out on Tuesday. My partner had a nice time in Los Arcos the first day while I spent the day on the beach. By Wednesday, I...

+1 for Aquanauts. We were at an all inclusive nearby for a wedding and managed to slip away for an afternoon of diving. Unfortunately, we weren't able to go to the wreck since it was inside a prohibited zone during the UN Climate convention, but we did do a couple of reef drift dives that were...

There's lots of shore and boat dives to do in the more immediate Puget Sound area, plus lots of stuff not too far away in the San Juans or in Canada off Vancouver Island. theperfectdive.com has a nifty tool that lets you search for dive sites by criteria. "151 Dives in the Protected Waters of...

Dealers in countries like the US are required to enter into agreements on pricing, resale and other conditions in order for the manufacturer to sell to them. My understanding is that in some countries these agreements are illegal, so authorized dealers in those countries then sell items to grey...

One thing to watch out for is that if you buy off ebay, it's probably not from an authorized dealer. There are exceptions where it's a retail dive shop selling on ebay but it would probably be mentioned in the auction text. If the seller is not an authorized dealer, the manufacturer's warranty...
