    Question Thoughts on starting with/only using a 90mm 2.8 macro lens

    Are you an experienced above water photographer? The limited DOF due to the long focal length combined with close working distance might prove frustrating. You might have problems locating and keeping your subject in the frame. Shots of larger subjects will require longer working distances...

    Good Source of webbing hardware?

    Don't be put off by Piranha's high published shipping charge. He will bill you at his actual shipping costs.

    Question Are You Tired of the Taxi Ripoff?

    I wear socks with my sandals if it's cold or I'm at formal occasions. Strangers address me in French. I once apologized to my seat neighbor on a flight for my foot attire. She said in Denver such footwear is referred to as "Chocs n' Sox".

    Socorro Islands (For Newly Certified Divers)

    Not a good idea. Long, potentially rough crossing. Deep bottoms. Unpredictable currents.

    Diver in travel group kept running out of air and sharing on every dive?

    You're right. If it is consensual, and the parties are familiar with common procedures and capacities, there is minimum risk. I was thinking of the situation described in the OP. Expecting non emergency free air from strangers is at best presumptuous and rude.

    Diver in travel group kept running out of air and sharing on every dive?

    I think most everyone agrees that chronic, casual air sharing is a bad thing. There is some flexibility in opinions on how to correct the situation.

    Atomic SS1 experience

    This is another one of those Scubaboard things that basically comes down to personal preference, comfort level, and convenience. As I said, I personally don't feel comfortable with the idea of a combined inflator/ safe second, and I've never felt burdened carrying a traditional octo. But for...

    Buying new smartwatch/divecomputer

    Garmin makes good watch style dive computers. The only thing I don't like is their use of proprietary AI transmitters. But many people find this not to be an issue.

    Garmin vs shearwater

    When I bought the Descent Mk1 I was doubtful about the functionality and reliability of a reworked sports watch. But it has held up for years, the battery life is better than good, depth dependent parameters still match my Perdix exactly, and it's never missed a beat. It has by far exceeded my...

    Diving watches

    I have one of these Seiko 6105 watches that I bought in 1973 for my NAUI OW certification on St Croix, USVI. It's somewhere in the house, but I'd have to take the place apart to find it. Anyways, here's a video of a guy doing a rebuild on a 6105. Fascinating!
