;) The real question is why do you need to read the tables underwater? Plan Your Dive, Dive Your Plan. Do you take them to just check if your planning was correct? Do that on the surface. If you are changing the plan in the water using tables more than your eye sight is going. If you...

As a photographer I have had good success with long 40 foot dives on Columbia (or Colombia) Shallows. We would set it up to spend both dives there.

The bootie in foot pocket fins question I can help with. I use a neoprene bootie so I don’t get blisters in my full foot fins, but I took my booties to the store and tried on several fins, some don’t fit very well. Sorry I have been to 90 feet but it was to lift an anchor not really free...

Years ago I banged an abandon wood piling (my dive buddy wouldn’t volunteer) underwater with a 12 gauge bang stick. It hurt my ears a lot (even with a heavy cold water hood) and the kick of the stick shot it out of my hand even holding on tight. It may have been a more pleasant experience...

My pool runs at around 4000 ppm of salt. I run the water through a smaller wading pool then into the main pool over a small water falls. The main pool has next to no chlorine in it as most recombines into salt in the smaller pool. It doesn’t bleach out my gear like the local YMCA so I assume...

I have a salt pool, the salt is put in the pool then a process in the filter cracks the salt into chlorine and sodium, the chlorine kills the bacteria, at the end of the loop the chlorine and sodium reunite and flow back into the pool as salt. The sodium isn’t a byproduct. These filters work...

OMS Nitrox Oceanic XTC 100 Suunto Favor some old air only thingy

About 1 week, the tech may only do regs 1-2 days per week, or it may go out to another shop as they don't do my brand of regs. It shouldn't be more than 1 week.

Let’s make a sticky topic for Cancun Airport to Coz. This gets answered every week and some of the best info is buried; who want’s to write it out repeatedly? It’s buried because sometimes it is an answer to a question that’s title is another topic. I just tried to search this forum with the...

OK I haven’t changed any computer settings, so why do I have to login every few hours on the board??? I use to automatically log in in the morning and close up at night. What’s up??? Have you changed the software? Any ideas what is going on?

My dry suit hoods have holes in the top, as air venting from a neck seal will accumulate in the top making me a cone head. Some hoods are made with several 1/8inch holes and a piece of neoprene sewn along two sides on the inside, air can escape but water movement is slowed down, these are...

Buy a vytec without the transmitter (or one of the others that is offered separately) then get the transmitter later. It’s what I did to reduce (spread out) the cost. I do have 4 other wrist computers of various ages and capabilities. I couldn’t just go out and drop $800 on a new computer...

I hope she turns north.

Had a Beuchat in a console last over 1000 dives from 1984 until it finally died after 6-7 batteries in 1999.

The price and features difference between the two doesn't make for a fair comparison, if you are buying for me I'll take the Atom thank you.

Oceanic or Suunto I have used and still own both brands with no problems. Pick the one that has the features you want and the price you are willing to pay.

here are two other sites http://www.hwn.org/atlantic/nhcww4.html http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/satellite.shtml You can never have too much information where Hurricanes are involved.

17th and Main in Vancouver, Outdoor Innovations (at 3293 Main street). They have all the D rings, shock cord and webbing you could ever need. They also have an industrial sewing machine on site and will stitch up stuff for you at next to no cost. I have allot of stuff made up there.

Gekko's are bombproof and less expensive than the Vyper. We use them for rentals and they work great. I use a Vytec with and without the AI. I like Suunto products.
