All things being equal, it is true, but all things are not always equal. If you take someone who was pudgy and unfit in his 30's through his 50's, he might be in better shape, and his circulation might be better, in his 60's than he was in his 30's if he undertakes a proper exercise regimen--at...

And what about when you are going to and from diving in a car? Do you roll up the wetsuit or fold it? Is it stuffed into a dive bag? Does stuffing it into a dive bag for a few hours present any creasing issues?

In an effort to move this issue away from the realm of ad hominem argument and emotion, I pose the following hypothetical, which has nothing to do with the video. Forget the video for now. Assume the following: 1. There are six divers, one DM and five paying guests, who stay reasonably close...

Here's a thread that can offer some ideas: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/buoyancy-compensators-bcs-weight-systems/478358-weighting-options-bp-w-setup.html Also check out this next thread, particularly post #7, which contains NetDoc's tip on attaching weights to the harness with bungee...

Here is one fact that many of the critics don't acknowledge: We weren't there and we don't know what happened. Was the dive at 100'? The poster of the video said so. Is it a fact that they were that deep? I don't know, and unless one of us was there, no one else here does either. Was the whole...

Yes, that is one of the ones I was thinking of. I guess the other one was for gloves and booties.

To the OP, not clear if you're using BP/W or jacket BCD, but if BP/W, this thread might be helpful for alternatives to putting the weight under your drysuit. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/buoyancy-compensators-bcs-weight-systems/478358-weighting-options-bp-w-setup.html

An excellent post, Bob. I would add, as a footnote, that not only should a diver be checking his (or her) air regularly, but he should also be giving his buddy the "check gauge" sign (and get a reply as to air status) as well. And the buddy should be doing likewise. If each diver in a buddy team...

Now that I have a new wetsuit, I'd like opinions on storing it once it's been rinsed and dried. I know that shops display their wetsuits on a hanger and sell hangers too for divers to hang up their wetsuits, but I read somewhere that hanging will stretch out the suit and the suit should be...

Wish I had known that before I ordered (last month). Having to pay roughly 1/3 the price of the belt for shipping was irritating.

Santa Rosa, California, or some other Santa Rosa? If California, where are the Blue Hole and Rock Lake?

Definitely not "a Mexico thing." Everywhere in the world that I have dived as a "dive tourist," it's the same, sometimes with an instabuddy in the group and sometimes the blob of divers is your buddy. I have gone on dives where there were two divemasters, but then one would lead and the other...

Wool is probably the only fabric that retains its warmth-providing nature when wet. I haven't dived dry, but from what I have seen online, dry suits sometimes leak (and even flood). My guess is that Merino wool pair of long johns would be an excellent base layer. Maybe cover with a fleece type...

I haven't bought them. I'm not sure about the sizing for my boot. They are still available (so far as I know). Go ahead and PM the seller.

I took your advice and ordered the Waterproof G-1 gloves. They got good reviews, and the zipper makes sense to me. The other gloves mentioned get good reviews for warmth, but online reviews for the other gloves say things like "nearly impossible to get the second glove on once you have the first...

Thanks. That's what I needed to know.

What can you tell us about the legibility (ease of reading the display) of one vs. the other?

For those who may not realize it, the Puck Pro is a higher-end model than the Puck. The Zoop comes with a PC interface (in that it can interface with a PC), but it doesn't come with the proprietary cable needed to interface with a PC. The price of the cable is the source of some griping among...

Can anyone who has seen both the Zoop and Puck in action tell whether the displays are equally large and legible?
