Mike, Thanks for letting me try the suit. I'll keep it.

My latest instructor was first certified in 1958. He is 70 and is the best instructor that I've had so far! Some people prefer not to use him because they consider him "anal" about making sure that you learn to do things properly and he will take the time to ask you questions to make sure...

Looks like a good VFR/IFR plane to fly to dive sites! About as expensive as a new car. You could easily use it to get your pilots license too.

Parrothead - I just got the cable and download from Ebay for $56 from Germany last week. It works like a charm on my Gekko and Cobra. I used the latest Suunto SDM - ver 3.0.0. I think that I saw a program called "vyper to gekko" either on the CD or as a menu option.

"Not interested in trades.. thank you!" Which are you not interested in trading? The Drysuit or your Girlfriend??? :D

I have a couple of Suunto dive computers that are a few years old. How do I find the latest firmware versions of their dive computers? Also how do I update the firmware if needed? I did not see any information on firmware updates for dive computers on the Suunto website. Ideas?

"I am confident that some folks out there have made some type of modification and found it improved air consumption. Please share any ideas." Granny, I would buy all of your buddy's a long (>5ft) yellow hose for their octos. The longer hose will allow YOU to sneak up to them and take...

A diver buddy told me that DUI has a new promotion out - 20% off all DUI Drysuit List Prices AND they will throw in an additional $750 of options for FREE!!! It is suppose to be valid from now until Feb or March 2010. I can't find it on the DUI website. Has anyone else seen this?

Why - whats wrong with the rubber ones ?? They seem inherently "safer" than the homemade bungee things that won't release the regulator and can choke you if they get caught. I have not tried either - just trying to understand the risks vs. benefits. (I am very leery of having anything...

Cave Diver - Thank you for the INFORMATIVE and useful reply. That is not the setup up that I have seen, which was a bungee with both ends under the mouthpiece tie-wrap. I'm assuming that the loop will come apart without too much force also.

This is a timely post! Let me ask - if the pony was to be used in "colder water" (38 degrees) instead of Florida would anyone change their recommendations? Also would you use your existing Octo and pair it with another 1st stage and put it on the pony?

I don't understand why divers use a "Noose" around their neck to hold the secondary. Does the noose break away with very little force?? From the descriptions that I've read and equipment that I've seen (but never used) it sounds/looks like it is a continuous piece of bungee captured at...

Isn't that kind of backwards? Who is going to give a seroius offer without knowing what they are buying??? Kind of like making an offer on car only to find out that it has a small block engine and is only a two door! You should have pic's too... Knowing the size, hydro date, what...

Check E-bay. A German company always has them listed for $56 USD +$7 shipping.

Scuba - I would also spread your pony hose clamps as far apart as the bracket allows. It will provide the bottle with a little more stability.

Pony Hydro/VIP Date??? Any mounting straps etc or just the bare bottle?

yes for 1, 2, or 3 - When do we leave!

Umm... Ok... I was test driving SDM Ver. 3.0.0. Under the "actions" menu there is a "Dive Planner" option (F11). Open the dive planner. On the left hand side of the Dive Planner the 6th button down, there is a function called "Transfer Data To Dive Computer". So I looked at the...

If I plan a dive in SDM 3.0.0 will I be able to transfer it to the Gekko???
