    icon net ready on two tanks

    I know that the icon can deal with 3 gases, but I'm a little confused with the manual regarding two tanks, i.e. sidemounting. How do you set it up and switch so it reads from tank to tank during the dive? Do you just set 2 gases and switch back and forth? or...?

    mares icon hd air transmitter

    I'm looking for a transmitter for my Mares Icon. I know they are available for $249 at the online shops, but being a Canuk, with exchange rates going thru the roof, I'm looking for a better deal. ---------- Post added September 29th, 2015 at 08:39 AM ---------- Looks like I found one. thanx

    best Sandals or Sandals type diving experience?

    I was blown away by the service at the Beaches Resort in Ocho Rios. The diving sucked, but if their Beaches resort on Turks is as good, I'd go in a heartbeat. No tipping, yet treated like royalty.

    best learning experience in cozumel

    I have been diving a number of times with Pelagic Ventures and been very impressed with this small operation. Alex is the best DM I've dived with.

    Help w/Fusion Bullet

    The neck I understand, and dup is sort of right, I checked it myself and couldn't find the leak. However; the water is coming from somewhere and that means there must be a leak. Hey no one would be happier than me if the only water in the suit came in the neck.

    Help w/Fusion Bullet

    Fusion dont leak! I wish!!! I always have wet arms by my wrists and neck area. The liners of my dry gloves come out dry as a bone, so it isn't the wrist seals. The neck I blame on my scrawny wattled neck. Some dampness on my chest, but I think comes from me hooking up the inflator in the...

    Sandals Scuba Medical Certification?

    Having spent a week with family at Beaches Ocho Rios, (family Sandals), I can tell you that IMO, you're not missing anything by not diving that area of Jamaica at all. No fish, no coral, dead, dead, dead. We did see a nurse shark on one dive, but I have no idea what there was for it to eat...

    Fins for use with a drysuit: Power Plana vs. Seawing Nova Gorilla

    I have found Power Planas to meet my needs very well. Plenty of power, though a little more flex than my Slipstreams. In fact they are the first fins I was able to get a decent back fin. I also like the rubber straps for don/doff.

    Rescue diving course-what did you wish you knew going in?

    I wish I'd known that the "victim" we were searching for was a milk crate! "Ya didn't ask enough questions!" she said after we tried to rescue an instructor who was minding his own business waiting for students to finish a compass exercise. :poke:>>>>>>>> :whack:

    Iberostar vs Sunscape Sabor

    I stayed at the Sabor a couple of years ago when it was the Wyndham. I was NOT impressed! Everything was done at the cheapest level, food was barely ok, room was fine, though you had to go into the hall to get drinking water. The stupidest thing was the 7 watt bulbs in the reading lamps by...

    Cuba - where to go

    Avoid Veradero if you want to dive. Bay of Pigs is pretty dismal diving as well.

    Why the dislike of air integrated computers?

    Ya just gotta ask yourself, "What would Mike Nelson do?"

    Raped for repair?

    Doesn't sound that far off the mark. A little pricey though

    Why the dislike of air integrated computers?

    I just did my first dive with AI. Mares Icon Hd.. I had the non AI and liked the display, so when a killer deal came along I grabbed it. I liked having that info right there, though I'm sure I wasted too much time looking at it while the current whizzed me along the river bottom. I didn't...

    Mares Icon HD

    Mares Icon HD only 19 dives. This is not the air integrated version. I got this last fall as a replacement for one that was damaged. It's in perfect condition. I joined the dark side and went AI, (also a Mares Icon),, and two of these on my wrist would look silly, so this one's up for sale...
