    Rash under mask

    You should post this to the dive medicine forum with some pictures and you will get some more enlightened responses. That being said I am not a doctor and suggest you seek the counsel of a dive physician as opposed to a regular doctor. I personally have a hard time believing that its from...

    Rabies rampant in Bali

    That article was from 3 years ago which puts it right before I flew out there for my IDC and a few months of work. I was there for 6 months and had no problems with the dogs. To be honest, most of the places they are having problems is in little rural villages, in which most travelers will...

    Hero 3 Silver or Black For Diving

    The Black has a few extra options in the Time-lapse department than the Silver does. You can change the white balance settings on the Black as well which some find useful for diving.

    Suunto SK7 or Dive Gear Express Tech Compass

    I actually went through this debate myself last year and even though you can find thousands of stellar reviews for the SK7 I opted for the slimmer profile of the DGE Tech. I had a chance to try on a SK7 before ordering and it stood a little taller than I cared for. The DGE Tech is quite a bit...

    Which camera?

    The GoPro is better as far as specs go and I have a story about the Actionpro that you may find helpful. I work in a shop that sells GoPro's and we have a regular customer that has been coming in, looking at the accessories for the last couple of weeks. Last week he asked me about the cameras...

    Go Black?

    I own a Black and a Silver. They are both good cameras and either will serve you well. From the perspective of someone who does a fair bit of photography/videography, the Black was definitely worth the buy as it has features and functions that you can't get on the Silver that I wanted. That...

    Free GoPro Scuba Mount offer from Z GEAR! What's better than FREE!

    Publicly asking your targeted Market to give you biased reviews, probably isn't the best way to go about launching a new product. What if the user has a teribble experience with the mount? Do you merely want the reviews that will blow smoke up your a** or do you want real user experiences...

    confused on LCD back

    The original lcd for the Hero2 will work or the touchscreen version comes with 2 doors for the housing. 1 for touch application that is only waterproof to about 2-3 meters and the other is a normal solid door that will negate the touch capability of the lcd but still allow you to go to depth...

    uv night dive lights

    Here LIGHT & MOTION || SOLA NIGHTSEA or here CF250 Fluorodive Kits. As far as I am aware, you still have to have the mask filter (camera filter if your shooting) in order to see the colors correctly.

    New Research Study starting on Roatan April 2013: get 2 FREE dives!

    If anyone is going to Roatan and interested in doing these dives, I can highly recommend them. I had the chance to do them last year and it was a very humbling experience. I had over 200 dives at the time and had never really felt the effects of being narced even though I had been that deep or...

    Costa Rica (Puerto Viejo) Shore Dives?

    All the Ops I saw in both those areas (Cahuita is about a 45 minute drive North of PV) usually dive from small pangas off shore on the edge of the reef. Even though the reef extends fairly far towards the beach in most cases, there is usually enough runoff from the rivers to kill visibility on...

    Fatality Off Miami Beach - Florida

    Operators should not have to employ someone to do the job that your OW Instructor didn't. The safety aspect of this should have been resolved in the initial OW training course. Your training (as far as I can gather from your other thread) was less than adequate and you went into it...

    Safety sausages and other essential safety gear

    You should be fairly self-reliant in your diving, regardless of where in the world you happen to find yourself. The 3rd world dive op you allude to did nothing wrong. Your "advanced diver and above" friends who jumped in without their fins on made the mistake (unless they did this on purpose)...

    Hawaii - Suggestions anyone...?

    I've got no dog in this fight but would just like to point out a few things to you frog. You're accusing customers of spamming by giving their opinion of a shop that they like and frequent yet at the same time you just endorsed a handful of ops yourself. So are you now guilty of spamming as...

    Advice please - should I return the Galileo Luna I purchased yesterday?

    This seems to be a very recurring theme for quite a few dive computers. Had the same problem with my old one and 2 years later the company is still struggling to get the bugs worked out. I'd say return it and jump on a Shearwater Petrel or Predator. I see the Luna listed anywhere from...

    Typical duration of dives with West End operations?

    I was there for the entire month of May last year and dove with Native Sons. Looking back through the logbook, most of my dives were almost spot on an hour and I remember them asking politely to be up around the 60min mark so as to keep with the time scheduling. The boat schedule that Doc...
