I second the previous posts. My experiences with them have been good. Email or give 'em a call. They are very responsive and courteous.

New Jersey, North Carolina (both already mentioned) and the St. Lawrence River (advantage: fresh water.....!!!)

My wife and I went with the MV Sea Queen. It's owned by a company in the UK (www.scubascuba.com). We had the time of our life. Accomodation, diving and food were excellent.

Scuba stuff. I love Pod Diver Radio, I gave up on Scuba Radio.

I prefer them separate. I have only one hood and also use it with my 5 mm wetsuit as well as my drysuit.

me too......and a pink one for my wife

Minke whale in OZ ..... and 30 feet viz on the Granite Wreck in NJ

I also have an Aladin Air Z but do not use the data download anymore. But if I remember correctly, the computer itself does only track the time elapsed until download; i.e. the time/date data shown is based on the internal/set time on your computer (or Data Trak). Sounds confusing... but

I don't understand that some people in this thread are so adverse to solo training... What is wrong if someone gives you guidance on streamlining your equipment, what is wrong if you get additional confidence on dive planning, getting an honest opinion on fitness (I had to prove minimum USN...

Same here. I can only recommend them.

I did the SDI solo cert and I can only recommend it IF you do it with a good instructor. Eventually, it's all about preparation, experience and confidence. But nothing wrong with being guided into the right direction. While there is certainly some "don't ask - don't tell" about solo diving...

Check out DAN. They offer equipment insurance. I always take reg, computer and expensive lights as hand luggage. Regarding car rentals: The usual suspects (Hertz, Avis, Budget) are on the island and there are also a whole bunch of local car rentals. Give your dive shop or hotel a call. Maybe...

Honestly, I've only seen divers converting from Yoke to DIN; never the other way around. If you are EVER want to move into technical diving...go for the DIN.

of course. what makes you warm is your friend.....

Maybe. I have a 7 mm 2-piece which is great. The 5 mm goldcore 1-piece jumpsuit was a major disappointment and I cannot recommend it at all. And my wife's hyperstretch 3 mm is not really a recommendation either. Her 5 mm is ok. We were all Henderson (3;5;7) but are changing to other manufacturers.

I would not worry too much. When I was there we had a guy who did his FIRST ocean dive in the Galapagos. And he did great. What you should practice is to empty your BC and make a quick water entry with immediate descent. You will be backroll off an inflatable as a group and quickly descent to...

I owned a 5 mm gold core and it was not worth the money. The seams came loose even after I sent it in for repairs for the same reason. While the customer service is good, I'd rather have a suit where I DO NOT NEED customer service because the initial quality is there. My wife has a...

waterproof-gear.com is their US website.

They are very well regarded in Europe. I tried recently a 5 mm (lynx) and had the diveshop order it. It fits a lot better and seems to be way more comfortable than my old Henderson.

no problems with firefox and safari. what is IE 7?
