Take some close up pix - and post them here on scubaboard and onto Tampa Craigslist. Youll sell those tanks first, I reckon. Theres some on Tampa CL for $65 a pop that look brand new. You should consider finding the actual model of those Oceanic regs though...they sell for 100-400 brand new...

I certainly see scuba as a maturing sport. Personally, If I had the $ when I was in my teenage years, I'd have gotten my c-card then. This stuff is prohibitively costly. I get *most* of the reasons why.

Went to TX for the first time a year ago. I grew up in CA and have been a let coastie my entire life. Texas people - the most friendly, polite group of folks I've met. So much space, cheap real estate, and Dallas was one of the cleanest cities ( second only Tokyo) that I've witnessed. Ill...

I went from some Scubapro split fins - used these for 10 years - to the Hollis F1 - and I really, really liked them. Surprised my own self. Both are just a tad negative, so for me noticed nothing different. Backward fin kicks is still a chore...I go real slow, and only move a little bit w/...

Diving on a budget...at first I thought this was just a troll post. I was like...what budget? Most expensive hobby other than flying lessons. But in seriousness- I would on occasion set up a boat charter - where if I could get 5 or 6 other divers to go along, the captain would comp me with a...

I see quite a few Whites Fusion suits, crushed neoprene DUI drysuits...and the occasional High Tide and Apollo suit here in cold Pacific Northwest waters. I dive a DUI but cant really speak for any others.

Just a few years ago there was a poor soul in Seattle at Cove 2 who got wrapped up in a buoy chain about 10 feet from the surface. He drowned. If he had slowed down and took off his gear, unhooked the drysuit hose from his chest inflate he could have easily swam to the surface. I think PADI...

Joe Geiss - who is the sales rep for Scubapro said - many years ago that " sometimes SP makes something great/ fantastic and bulletproof that everyone loves- and and goes out of production way too quickly". And he was right...about just a few of their items. Still, I feel like Conrad b212...

I used to fence a lot, mostly epee and foil. So I'd probably go back to that if n I couldn't dive. Never was a fan of traditional spectator American sports. I find baseball and football amazingly boring to watch. I enjoy a good hike now and then...seems to be great cardio. Really enjoy...

Late last night I had placed my order on the Golem Gear website. Order confirmation showed up in my in-box within moments. Card was charged. Today; this morning while at work, I saw a confirming message of my order having been shipped- and a UPS tracking number. As I type this the ss...

Yeah. I'm diving cold, Puget Sound waters. Yes, you FL folks make me a bit jealous. But these responses are all great - and really where my head was to begin with... did I wanna add more lead to offset the buoyancy...hmmm. Nah ! I currently have two faber 95 steel tanks ...I could just...

Anybody here use twin AL80's as their doubles air supply? I'm curious what you did/ didn't like about it ? Thanks!

Forgot about this post - the suit is perfect ! No leaks.

Uwatec bottom timer on a bungee on my right wrist. I can only say I really didn't want a watch ( no matter how cheap ) because if they lose one lil pin - they are gone. I think it's strange how there seems to be no market for a nice watch w/ depth though...it's odd ? I would imagine there...

The one time I really felt like I wasn't getting enough air from my reg- I had realized my tank valve wasn't open all the way. I can imagine your situation *might * also be the same problem. That valve only open, say, 3/4 of the way might seem fine - right until you get down a few feet...then...

B and B Scuba in Kihei. Fantastic people.

I must be very late to the party...why was DD banned from this site? I've watched the video twice; be honest- who among us would be that collected if this was to happen to them?

My GF is considering getting OW certified...and it's not the weight of this stuff that is a damper- it's the cold frekin Puget Sound waters that are a significant factor. Hence, doing classrom in Seattle- and finishing classes in Grand Cayman are very attractive.

" All the way to the bottom" is pretty good. I will throw in the usual " where the cool stuff is today - provided I have enough gas for the return trip."

Uwatec Aladin...this was about 2000 maybe 2001 Loved it. Dove the heck out of it. Wouldn't buy it again, as I'm wanting a computer that can handle mixes gasses.
