Well, after researching, reading and posting, I decided on my computer today. Ended up buying what I believe(hope) to be a good computer, the UWATEC Smart Com. It has AI which I wasn't really into, but......, when I started adding the cost of a wrist mount to what I had already spent on...

I did OW recently and my LDS had a variety of fins to try. Try one set one day, and another the next and so on. That way you can "shop" without buying. I settled on the Scubapro Twin Jets open heels. To me they kick easy, good thrust and comfortable.

I'm trying to take everyones advice and run it thru the mill to get the perfect computer. Well, it aint happening. If there was a perfect computer, then everyone would have that model and there would be nothing left to talk about. But I'm narrowing down the options. First choice, I'm...

Um, I'm gonna have to get with someone who knows where these places are. I've heard there's some great sites, but I'm having a hard time envisioning it. All I see when I look at the coast is water with about a foot of viz.

There were quite a few. However, it was my first trip there, so I don't have anything to compare it to. But it looked like alot to me.

Hi guys. Just wanted to say hi from Myrtle Beach, SC. Just got back from the FL springs in the Crystal River area. Looking for some great nearby spots for diving. Any input will be appreciated. David

Alot of great input here. So far, this is my current mentality on what I'm looking for. I don't think I want AI, I just believe I'll trust the analog guages better. Plus, in the event of catastrophic electronic/battery failure, the guages still work. I also don't think I want the wireless...

My next purchase is a computer. After doing some searching and reading, it seems that there are about as many computers as there are opinions about computers. And everyone has there favorite for their own personal reasons/usage requirements. So to simplify things, I hope, could I get some...

Hi again. Registered here a few weeks back and just got back from FL from doing my open water cert. Great experience. Can't wait to do it again. My new gear was great. I obviously haven't tried alot of different set ups, but I don't know how it could get any better than the Scubapro...

Since the dive shop had it in stock, I got a Scubapro mini vip 3 gauge(reading off of the packaging). No computer yet. That's next month. Can't decide what kind to get. I'm thinking of something wrist mounted. I need to research the computer area of the forum and maybe post there. As far...

OK, for good or bad, last night I decided to buy my equipment and came home like a kid at Christmas. Got gloves, BCD, regs, and whatever else I could think of. Ended up with Scubapro classic plus BCD w/air2 and a set of MK25/x650. From what I've read here and other places, this should be a...

Yes, the local shop will set something up. It's just a matter of where we want to do it. Local waters here range from murky to clear from day to day. We were thinking of someplace in FL called Crystal Lake or Crystal Spring. Supposed to be a nice, clear spring. And I wouldn't think of...

Sorry for opening the can of worms. Should have done a search before posting. I realize now that this horse is completely dead, no need to beat it more.

Has anyone tried a company called Leisure Pro to purchase equipment from? They seem alot cheaper than the local dive shop. When I called them they said they offered the same warranties as an "authorized" dealer. When I called the manufacturor, they said unless I bought from an authorized...

I'm new here, so if this is posted in the wrong place, my apologies up front. I'm new to diving and have found that just like everything else, you can spend what you want. Several friends and my instructor reccomend Scubapro brand equipment. From reading various posts on this forum, it seems...

I don't know about Charleston, but my dive instructor says there are some great sites off the coast here in Myrtle Beach. You can reach him at Coastal Scuba at 843-361-3323. Ask for Cameron.

Hi all. New to the sport. This looks like a good place to get some tips and meet some great people. In fact, so new, that we're trying to figure out where/when we can do the open water dives for the final certification. And of course, I have champagne tastes and a beer budget for all the new...
