    Tanks - True cost of ownership

    Forgot to say that I did place the valves on the tanks before I dropped them off.

    Tanks - True cost of ownership

    I thought I had all my i's dotted and t's crossed, but I guess I missed something. I purchased some used Faber LP95's. Nitrox ready. The seller was is a shop owner and the tanks were in current hydro and he did a visual and placed the sticker on them before they were shipped out. However, to...

    Lavacore vrs Sharkskin

    Never used Sharkskin, but I have pants, shorts, LS top, hood and socks from LavaCore. Pants, hood and socks are new, but shorts and LS shirt are over a year old. Some slight pilling from BP/W strap, but otherwise has held up great. Highly recommended.

    Dive lights on plane?

    Funny you should ask. I just got back from two weeks in Hawaii and I almost got my lights confiscated by the TSA in Kona. Funny thing is that they have been through TSA in Seattle twice and San francisco Once without problem. Even funnier, is my son went first and placed his regulator bag and...

    Lights 101?

    I have four of the Mako lights. 2 for me and 2 for my son. They do use 18650 but CR 123 can be used too. The 800 lumens and 150 degree angle are really nice. I have used them in Hawaii and Murky Puget Sound and I really like them. Two in tandem work really well too.

    Drysuit for a 14 year old - HELP

    I think we found a winner! It is NOT the Whites Fusion. I had him try on the Bare SB suit in a Medium/Long. Fits him very well with just enough to grow without too much to deal with a big bubble. Trim cut and some stretch in the fabric. It almost looks like it was custom. He loves it...

    An Open Letter of Personal Perspective to the Diving Industry by NetDoc

    OK. Time for someone with absolutely no business responding to this thread thinking he has something to say/add: As a recently certified diver (little over a year) and was certified along with my 13 year old son, I read a lot to find areas where I can reduce the chance of an accident or learn...

    DIR 3000lm prototype LED light $375

    I was wondering where most folks are mounting the canister. I have the 1000 LM travel light and cam bands work best for me there. However, this can is pretty long and i would like the light to be used at the end of a pole, so thinking it might have to go on waist strap of BP/W. But then it...

    Drysuit for a 14 year old - HELP

    It had had the sport skin. I looked at several bullet skins but the general opinion (as best I could tell) is that the bullet tends to be stiff. The tech skin appears to be a nice compromise between flex of sport and bullet. i am going to try the Bare SB in a M L and see how he like that one.

    Drysuit for a 14 year old - HELP

    I appreciate the suggestions. I have a Bare, NexGen, front entry with teloscoping torso. I really like this suit. I can get in and be ready to dive in half the time as others. Underwater I forget I have it on. I think that when I told my son this and he sees me ready to go while we are...

    RECSEA Blackmagic Pocket Test

    I've always heard the the BMCC is VERY sensitive to exposure. What were your settings and how did you determine the correct settings. I am assuming you had to set the camera up top before you shot underwater. Also, how did you obtain the focus and DOF. Thanks

    Drysuit for a 14 year old - HELP

    Thanks Jim. The HOG is still in the running. I just had to leave town so will send you measurements when I get back home on saturday. I was pretty sure there would be recommendations for the Whites Fusion, that's why I was trying to head that one off early. He really does not like that suit...

    Drysuit for a 14 year old - HELP

    My son and I have been diving for about a year now and I would like to get him a drysuit since it appears we will be at this for a while. He has bee renting a Whites Fusion and when I asked if he would like to get one, he responded "no way". I know there are a lot of fans of this suit, but he...
