If you are new, try not to make things complicated. This is just for Hookah setups, isn't it?

I love my ForceFins for warm water SCUBA, but have found them pretty useless for surface swimming. They have no thrust on up-kick. I wear a size 9 shoe and a FF ML with Comfort Insteps and barefoot.

Friends don't let friends cave dive.o_O

Because ForceFins retail for a relatively high price, sellers on ebay have a hard time pricing a used pair. My Originals I bought on local Craigslist for around $50. and I later lucked into on auction for $35. plus $15. shipping for a nice pair of Pro's. If you have time and patience you can...

I will take this if it is still available. Thanks.

New PM sent!

I'd pass. Reasonably priced intact FFs show up on ebay regularly. Hard to tell without a side view if the mounting holes are intact. The tab at the heel is also strange. A FF heel strap kit will cost you $40. if it can be mounted. At least, ask the seller for a side view to see what's up.

Is this a for sale thread or a discussion thread. Give the guy a break.

Although the diving in Cozumel (or anywhere in the Caribbean) is not first class, it is a great resource for those of us in the States to get a very satisfactory dive experience at a reasonable price and easy accessibility.

Depending on the operator, your demonstration of expertise, your possession of a safety equipment, how well the DM knows you and a wink and a nod, a buddy pair can slip away from the group without recriminations.

Can you get the reg to lock in flow by taking an abnormally quick/deep breath? careful! Can you unlock the flow by blocking the mouthpiece and exhaust ports? When you say leak: freeflow? moderate? just a little? If you have the diaphragm off, will depressing the lever instigate the leak? Does...

Thanks for this. Do you remember what time of year you visited?

Thanks for your reply. I'm thinking you dove with Pohnpei Surf Club? Did it seem like a pretty well established operation? Did they run scheduled boats, or just make arrangements when enough people got together? Were you part of a group? How many in your group? How many people were on the boat...

Having been posted in the "Basic Scuba" forum, that would be a good assumption.

I just use a SAFT. I figure the less times I have to crack it open the better

I don't know what a crew member can do with a standard setup that can't be detected and corrected in two minutes. If crew members left divers to their own devices on the typical boatload we'd probably never get everyone in the water. I've seen people take three minutes just getting their fins on.

I always dive a shorty. Quick to don and doff. Keeps me honest when swimming close to the reef.

I dive to have a good time. If the guys are used to setting up guests' stuff, that's fine with me. If they want me to set the equipment up, that's great. If they set things up and I want to do some adjustments, I do adjustments. Life's too short to worry about this stuff.

I, too, suffer from minor tinnitus, vision convergence issues, and occasional vertigo. Interestingly, the last two instances of severe vertigo occured after initial day of diving on my last two trips. Once the evening of the day, and once on the following day. I don't know if this was a...

Has anyone been diving on Pohnpei over the last three years or knows of a reliable dive operation or individual dive master for diving over a period of two weeks? Diving with an operator that caters mainly to Japanese or Chinese not a problem. Thanks.
