    Camera casing - will a similar model work?

    Each housing is specific to a given manufacturer and model. Buttons, levers and any connections are unique to the cameras and it SPECIFIC housing. Once I got my system built (housing, camera, strobe) I picked up a second camera as a backup.

    Boyancy with new wetsuit

    There are ankle weights that clip around your ankles. My wife used some for her first few dives. Once she got more relaxed, she didn't need them anymore.

    Am I getting what I paid for?

    Diving from your own boat?

    Practice drills

    I found this somewhere; I think it was from the linked thread above. I think most of them were already mentioned, but in my opinion you should practice: 1 - Buoyancy, buoyancy, and buoyancy again. 2 - Orientation, with natural clues and the compass, both day and at night. 3 - Mask...

    Diving from your own boat?

    Hostage is almost done with my PADI cert. As Guba stated use a charter dive boat first, too continue that thread, going with a local operation for the first few dives, once you are certified will better prepare you to your local diving.

    Favorite Front Range LDS?

    I have to say "Denver Divers" is at the top of my list of LDS in Denver. Reasons; 1. They don’t try and sell you something when you walk in the door. 2. Bright, clean and open operation. 3. After the first visit, I’ve felt like family.

    I've Been Hacked

    Sorry to hear that has happened again. :depressed: My Facebook account was hacked a few months ago. I didn't have anything in the account that could have helped them in anyway. We all have to assume "any" account could be hacked and limit what we place out there. A few weeks ago I got...
