I have seen some Scubapro jet fins both with and without the lighting bolt. The ones with the lighting bolt seem to sell for more. Is there any difference? Ty BTW, no rockboots yet. I have a size 10.5, so with the socks I am probably an 11. So I think from what everyone said, an XL should...

If you do not roll to your left and get the exhaust valve to the highest point, then you could be trapping air in the wing, regardless of having bugeed wings or not. If I'm not mistaken the bungees are only to keep the wing from flapping (hence the name wings) or wrapping around the tank. Just...

Not yet Tom This summer will be my first over 130'... on air. Nitrox next year... and then Trimix somewhere down the road. Ty

I like golf, I love scuba. I like to fish. I enjoy playing with computers. I like camping and hiking. I want to learn how to sail ( this summer's project). I enjoy mountian biking. I love hanging out with my kids. I have a problem.. too many hobbies, not enough time or money... Ty

I have a week long vacation at a shore house on Long Beach Island (New Jersey) next month. I have a boat dive scheduled for one day that week, but I was wondering if anyone has ever done any shore dives off of there. NJSCUBA.Net shows a couple of close in wrecks off the island that I may try to...

I thought the show was just an hour long infomercial on the tensile strength of spandex. Ty

I think one of your outcomes in your analysis is that there are a lot of variables for both sports. For Golf, I bought my first set of clubs for around $200 and played with them for a lot of years. They served me well, but several years ago I decided that I wanted new drivers, so I bought three...

This year at Beneath the Sea I saw a group that was discussing specific training and certification for Public Safety Diving. There was a lot of discussion about liabiity, Workmens Comp issues and insurance for public safety divers, including a push for a third class of divers instead of just...

I started looking on EBay this week for a pair of Jet Fins after diving with my Girlfriend last weekend. She had a pair and was flying underwater. At a couple of points I was having trouble keeping up with her using my split fins. Anyway, are there any difference I should be looking for in...

They are great people. I bought my reel from them last year and it came with a "Property of" lable attached with my name on it, and some extras included in the box too. They've earned my endorcement. Ty

Doc, Great answer... There were some things I had never heard of and will try. My question is, do these moisturizing regs really work? I looked at them, but didn't buy one. Do they really make a difference? Ty

Welcome to the board and good luck with your OW. This sport and this board are both very addicting and you will find a lot of great info and great people on here. Ty

Trim weights are weights that are normaly installed in other places besides a weight belt or BC weight system that help you achieve the proper trim while diving. Most of the trim weights sold are meant to attach either to your tank, or to a back plate. However, I would say that ankle weights...

Sorry if the tone was a bit off in my post but this is a bit of a sensitive subject. I was in NYC on September 11th... Right across the street from One World Trade Center. I heard the first plane hit in from my office and watched the fireball erupt from the buildings lobby. BTW, I had just...

I also am a proponent of Pony Bottles when diving with a single, especially on dives deeper the 80 feet, but my personal preference is to carry one all of the time. I do understand UP’s explanation of how they are an entanglement risk when back mounted, but we were taught and practiced reaching...

I bet he's the same guy that said September 10th about how it would be impossible to hijack 4 planes simultaneously… and he probably, like most people at the time, didn’t worry too much about a hijacking, because they figured that the hijackers would just demand a ransom…. Or fly the plane to...

Others will probably reply with better advice then I can provide, but I always assumed that renting gear from a dive shop is like renting anything. It isn't the use that you are renting but the time. If you rent a car but don't drive it, you still pay for that days rental. Last Month my...

Take a look at what those knuckleheads did to the Cole... From what I read the threat was more twards cruise ships, power plants amd marine traffic, not so much against bridges. How much explosives do you really need to blow a hole in a cruise ship or wreck the inlets of a power plant...

They will let you into Dutch Springs by yourself, but there is no solo diving allowed. As for drive time, I thinkit is at best a couple of hour drive going out 78, but I'm not exactly sure. I haven't gone that way. Ty

UP or Wreckwritter If you guys come up with the URL let me know. I may be looking for some new underwear too. BTW, I'm trying to keep from thinking about UP going commando. Not a mental picture I want :eek: Ty
