I have got to say I am surprised how unpopular emergency beacon are in this country. If you want a full proof emergency device, this is it. I am an avid skyer, and I have often used one when I lived in France and sky in the Alps, just in case of an avalanche... Beacon were forbiden for public...

I have looked everywhere for a Mares Isotherm Semi Dry (7mm) and I can't find my size (Men XL), in fact most of the one still left are sml sizes or women sizes. Is there a new one coming out? If so when?

That's another thing, I wonder about the legality of "restricted warranties". It seems to me that a new product sold in the US should carry a worldwide warranty no matter where you buy it. If I buy, let's say, an AquaLung or Mares regulator for that matter, I should be able to claim the warranty...

Not to start another debate, but what's wrong with Aqualung and their internet policy??? I don't buy all my stuff on the internet, but I do start my research on the net. This is where I narrow down my choices and compare prices as well as putting a budget together. So that if I choose to buy...

I am thinking to get a Suunto Gekko. I saw a few internet discount stores selling them, such as Leisure pro, Divetank, etc... I was under the impression that suunto watches could not be sold over the internet, and if you bought a watch from such a store, you would loose the warranty...Is it...

Furthermore rather than assuming the ship will be more expensive, why don't you ask them how much they charge for each of the destinations so that you can compare prices.

I got to Hawaii almost every year, mostly on Oahu and the Big Island. The best diving I have done there was on the Big Island, 2 years ago. We used a company call RedSail if my memory servedme well. The crew was great, very pleasant and firendly. The Scuba Master we had, made us very comfortable...

Welcome. Sounds like a really great trip.

Is it a specific problem to the Proton V32 or is it something that is true for all the Proton line, such as the V16?

Thanks jviehe, what you are saying makes a lot of sence, if you combine the Padi OW, AOW and Rescue, you have a pretty good program indeed... Hi David P, I am located in Hancock Park which is east of Beverly Hill and south of West Hollywood. Funny you mention it, I was actually reading about...

Thanks Imagesetter, I appreciate the offer. I am also starting to put together the needed equipment. I have been snorkling for years, so I already have the mask, fins etc... I bought a BCD on a closeout sale today, a Mares Morphos. I am trying to figure out which reg. to get and of course a...

Thank you for all of the suggestions. I was actually doing a search as I knew the L.A county had a program but couldn't find it... so thanks annasea for the link, it does look like a very good program... I do understand the value of diving with other divers, but all my dives so far have been in...

Thanks for all the suggestions and for taking time to respond. There are 2 reasons I now favored the vest style BCD. First, I am fairly new to diving and feel comfortable in how they fit and feel. I may change my mind as my experience grow, but I believe that one should feel comfortable and...

I am about to get my 1st BCD, I was going to go for the Dragon AT until I found the Mares Limited Edition Morphos Metal on sale. However I read from someone on a Forum that one of the valves was defective and was given a Dragon as an exchange. Should I be concerned? Has this problem been...

So I am hooked, PADI certified and looking forward to taking an advanced open water certification course. But I am not sure I want to go the PADI route. I was a bit surprised that all it took to get the Padi OW was reading a book, 4 quizes, a final test and 5 dives... And after looking threw...

Hello, I just want to briefly introduce myself. I live in Los Angeles. I have wanted to dive since I was a child, but was always told I couldn't, because of a light sinus condition... 5 years ago, I was in Thailand with my Girlfriend, and after she suggested I give it a try, I was hooked and...
