    OMS Suppliers in the USA

    Dive rite makes a great product, and I have never had bad customer service. The OMS support is terrible, myself and a buddy had some bad experiences with OMS customer support. Deep Sea supply is also a good product.

    opinions needed: custom can light:

    one of my students purchased one of those lights. It works OK, not the best but will work. I think the cord is about 12" too long

    Ideas for improving and developing gloves for dry-suits

    Maybe something with some texture to the fingers, I have found that the gloves that pull over you rings are very slick and make gearing up more difficult.

    Worst Liveaboard Experience, Island Dancer, Fiji

    just curious, if you found the air bad why would you still dive it? Accidents happen from bad air.

    Light Monkey Glue-On Thigh Pocket - Anyone have one?

    If you do buy a fusion, you will want to get one with pockets as that suit isn't designed to add your own. I do not use the Light Monkey pockets but I do use the Halcyon ones and they are similar. I am very happy with them that inner pocket to hold wet notes works nice.

    For TDI instructor- problem with on line TDI nitrox course

    Im not familiar with the TDI online class but I know that PADI does teach that NITROX will decrease the narcotic effect. I don't believe this to be true as I see oxygen as a narcotic itself. I had argued this many times with a course director and the response I was given was this is for...

    Apeks flight free flow

    Have you had an annual service done? 100 dives can create some wear and maybe the IP needs to be adjusted.

    best or really good dive light ?

    I have seen can lights for $400 shouldn't be to hard to find. A LED light is much more durable you can drop them and they will still work, run them while on the surface without burning out the bulb. I have found that most seem to have more of a wide beam that acts more like a flood light than...

    best or really good dive light ?

    If you are on a budget, I would suggest looking for a used can light. You can find them for pretty cheap, check the forums there is usually someone selling one. If you have the money to burn I would suggest Light Monkey they make a great light. Next you only need to decide between LED or HID...

    backup flashlight and knife setup

    Looks like it could be more work than you may want. In the event of a light failure you will not want to fuss with all that inner tube to remove your backup. What works for me is a bolt snap tied to the back of the light and clipped off to my chest D-ring, then I use a small piece of inner tube...

    Make your own face mask or buy?

    I have had hundreds of great lakes dives and have found that any exposed skin goes numb after a few min. I have seen guys while out ice diving put vasoline on exposed skin to provide some protection
