I am indeed carrying less weight, my ss bp is -5, I was wearing 8lbs of lead (that is 3 lbs less weight than before). I think it has to do with the ton of neoprean that wraps a modern BC. I suspect it gives your average BC a positive buoyancy that needs to be overcome with lead.

I just made the switch from a Zeagle Ranger, a back inflate bc, to a Backplate and wing. I made the switch because of the infinite sizability options of a standard HOG harness. As I lose more weight my gear will shrink with me. One thing I learned very quickly is I need a heck of a lot less...

How about a weight harness? I never used one myself, but I know they are popular on the board. http://www.scubacenter.com/scubacenter_onlinestore/drysuit_accessories/OxyCheq_Renegade_Harness.htm

I use one of these, have been since day 1.

I am surprised nobody mentioned flip fins :) No idea if they are good, never used them, but they sound like the answer you are looking for. Flipfins® - Patented, award winning, high-performance scuba fins, swim fins, rescue fins, military fins, Special Forces fins, dive fins and fins for float...

I decided to do a quick search on the topic, and I have no clue why I am interested, but it appears the New Jersey law (I assume we are talking NJ here since that is your location in your profile) is New Jersey Administrative Code/NEW JERSEY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE/TITLE 13 LAW AND PUBLIC...

I cannot believe that this thread is still going on after 1100 posts. I also cannot believe how strongly some of you cling to the tables. Yes tables are great, and I still carry mine, but lets be honest that is not how divers dive. And at the end of the day, your average open water student...

I am currently using the aqualung slingshots. They seem to be a really good combination of length and speed for the type of diving I do, which tends to be flag duty for my spear buddies, travel, or just a regular charter dive. I got them because I was looking for something to keep up with my...

'First-ever' permanent anti-fog coating developed I wanted to share this with everyone. A Canadian University has declared they have created a clear coating that will forever prevent fogging. How awesome would that be, I mean it's not a big deal, but it would be a nice to have.

Didn't I hear this year, that the Japanese have Navy personnel on board. I hope this year it doesn't get ugly.

[-]hmm, I could be wrong but isn't it that any sweepstakes like this, that requires to purchase in is illegal in the United States? Here we go: Prize Offers: You Don't Have to Pay to Play! [/-] OOps my bad, sorry DiveNav, missed the part about the panel of judges. :newyear:

lachojski85, When it comes to a snorkel, there isn't much there to break if you get a simple one :) I use something like this currently: Genesis Surf Snorkel and when I lose this one, (they never break, they always grow legs on me :P ) I would like to go even simpler with something like...

First, Welcome to the board. The most important part of your snorkeling kit is your mask. This is also probably the hardest things to buy. you really need to find a local shop where you can try them on. A dive shop will also be able to help you check to make sure it fits correctly, and is...

The specific situation at hand is airline security. how much more specific do you want? We are talking about being treated WORSE than a criminal because we want to get on an airplane. See I believe the government has crossed the line. Actually I think they crossed the line some time ago...

I agree, the term is defined by the courts, and the courts are influenced by the culture of the time. especially in this case with no previous cases to fall back on. That is why I posed the question to those that support the measure. Where do we draw the line, to you what is unreasonable...

Thank you for NOT answering my question :dontknow: How about you tell us, What could the TSA do to you that you would find as unreasonable? If it is nothing. If there is no limit. Then you need to re-think your citizenship. The word unreasonable means there is a line that is definable...

I have to ask, for all of you in favor of these invasive search procedures, when is enough enough? What is unreasonable to you? Here is the fourth Amendment "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall...

There is no expectation of privacy on a vehicle tag. I mean we do drive these cars on the road with hundreds of people able to see and read our tags at any time.

Welcome to the dive club :) Enjoy it.

Sounds like you have a really terrible local la fitness :( mine is nothing like that. Things that break are fixed by the next time I am in there. If you need to cancel, I see a cancellation button on the member page of their website.
