My Santa (wife) brought me a: A underwater MP3 player, 40 hrs, good to 200 ft. Now I can rock while doing my deco stops :)

Thanks Stefan, I saw that, and since my primary purpose of going to CCR is for depth gain over my dolphin I confess that struck me as odd. But since the unit is selling so well, I figured I must be off somewhere. I find it hard to believe that that many people would jump on the latest tech...

Did I miss something? The new optima seems worth looking into, and in doing so i saw something that I have a hard time understanding. If I am reading the Optima manual right, the extend air cartridge is only good for two hours, but the Optima is designed for 27 cu ft bottles (13cu...

A group of us did a nice dive trip aboard the Magician out of San Pedro, Dec 10. Most of us were from San Diego, and drove up Friday night. We had 17 divers so everyone had a bunk with a few of the taller folks able to get a double. Although we had originally planned to do San Clemente, we...

I'm looking to find an inner tube to cut up for holding my reg & SPG on my stage/deco bottles. Does anyone know what size tube fits what size tanks? Thanks !!

I thought my camera was dead , but after seeing this thread, I called Olympus to see if my camera serial number happened to be in the recall. A bit of a strange pause by the folks there, but eventually I was told no it was not with in the identified set. Oh well, I decided to sent the camera...

Dr. Bill, Is it legal to fish in Avalon Harbor? I see lines out all the time from moored boats.

I dove the Ruby E and the Yukon Sat afternoon. Ruby was about (57-59)2 degrees colder than the Yukon and most of us in wetsuits did fine. Viz on the both the wrecks was about 50'. Was able to go to the crows nest and see most of the Yukon, very cool. One new one for me, while...

Thanks guys, I too have really enjoyed Josh at Dive Pros I have yet to be able to contact him since he moved. Has not replied to emails, their phone is out, and when I drove out to the new shop last weekend no one was there. - IB divers and Rick's in Escondido are just too far. I hope SDDS...

With the closure of Taopitek and DivePro moving to Santee where are you getting your nitrox? I'm looking for a place that will do 40% Thank you for any leads.

My 5050 I think is done-for. Nothing but wavy lines when I take a picture. I started seeing this a couple days into my trip to Roatan. No the housing was never flooded (L&M Titan) or ever showed signs of moisture. I've tested several cards (some that did not go on the trip). And no joy...

If you're in San Diego, Ocean Enterprises. I believe they're having a big sale this weekend (starts friday I believe). Right off the freeway easy to get to for first timers. Have a great trip and please let give us a dive report afterwards.

Stefan is correct you can not trim Draeger hoses. I did notice though on the TecMe site they have right angles for the Dreager setup, has anyone put the Oxy on one of those? Just thinking that starting at a better angle would make it less prone to pulling out of your mouth. Just a thought.

Dude, My hoses float too, but I don't have the issue you do. One thought is, are the stiffer rings in the hose? There are 3 per side slots 2, 5 & 8 I think but check the manual. The better mouthpiece Camerone suggests sounds like a good idea. Camerone do you recall with # that Sea...

Local to where?

- Good luck, I could not do much with mine after I saw condensation under the glass. Sent mine in since is only 6 months old. I have yet to hear anything back after 3 weeks. I plan to get a HS explorer model O as my primary....... If you do figure out how to fix them please post it. I...

Off to Roatan Sept 3, -- charging the batteries now, Solomon Islands - Bilikiki - June 06, leading the trip- OH, YEAH!

Dolphins, I'm taking little steps. Though I hope to try out the prism & evolution with the thought of moving to a full CCR in the near future. I'm using the cost of doubles etc to convince the 'boss' that its a wise $$ move to go straight to full CCR and that it will be cheaper in the long...

I was having a tough sell at home too, what worked for me was coming iun from a dive with several lady friends (first step), they started proclaiming how it was that diving the rebreather was the first time they had ever been warm. (second step). My wife questioned them on the units and...

Thanks for the trip report, I had originally planned to do that trip, but after Ed explained how advanced it was I did not think my wife would have handled it well; she is a bit weak in currents and gets cold in 85 degree water with her custom 7mm. With your report that sure helps re-inforce I...
