BTW, research indicates that yellow, white, and silver seem to attract sharks.

Etiquette states that the fins should always match the colors in the wetsuit.

Happy New Year! I was certified in October, 08. My plan is to dive up in 1000 Islands and area. Santa gave me the basic equipment BC, Reg, octo and computer. Now looking at a knife, lights, safety equipment, extra toys and creating my "save a dive kit". I am a boater with captains license...

I had a few too many at a local boat show with some friends two years ago and had to pee in the toilet of a 50' Mainship brand new, never been used. Sorry, I had to confess-it has been bothering me for a while. Based on my wife's statement (20 years in ER/ICU/Trauma) it is sterile, so I would...

I believe it is called Buddy Call Underwater Signaling Devise -> Buddy Call underwater Signalling Devise specs. There is also a Dive Alert that is a unit that can be operated above and below water and a unit that can be operated just below water. The DA is operated with air only. I have seen...

I am a new diver, but I can give everyone a very different view. I have been boating for over 20 years, US CG Licensed Captain, seen it all. I was certified in October '08 and what a rush. I have just purchased my necessary equipment via my LDS. I am now looking at the extras (lights, knife...

Interesting--I am a licensed US Coast Guard Captain with two months OW certification and experience. I can speak more from a boating perspective than diving at this point. Never take for granted conditions that seem constant, easy and "nothing could trouble you". There is ALWAYS something that...

Being a native of New York City, you really won't get far in 5 minutes. However, according to some friends down there, you would not believe the items that were purchased down there after 9/11. Remember the guy that wraped his home in plastic?:rofl3:

Can you shoot me a pic with the unit on your wrist so I can see proportions etc.

My bad--sorry. Does this mean detention for a week?

So my LDS has put together a really great package including the XTX 100. I was looking at the XTX 200 and except for some minor cosmetic differences, I can not tell the difference. I have always purchased the "higher" model of (boating) equipment, but wondering in the world of scuba, is there...

RELAX--Just did my OW cert. last month via PADI program. After my briefing ABOVE WATER, specifically noting what, how and why he was going to do this, you will do a normal decent. You face the instructor and he will give you the OK (AKA, are you ready?) sign. It will be ssslllooowwlllyy turned...

Just finished my OW certification a few months ago-that's just stupid ( and everyone knows-you just can't fix stupid). Lets all pony up and buy the kid a reg and his own tank (used of course and from LP). I wonder how "accurate" the video really is...

I am interested in finding out what everyone uses in the event that their computers fail during a dive. I am thinking of analog guages in addition to my computer so the dive does not have to be terminated. I have heard this is over-kill since computers usually will not fail during a dive. Thanks

Does anyone know if the SOL can be mounted on a retractable holder rather than the wrist mount? My LDS swears by the Aeris elite T3, but I like the SOL. Anyone with experience using the digital compass on the SOL for navigation? Again, my LDS states that digital is more difficult when...

OK, a new diver in search of HONEST answers on equipment. I am a US Coast Guard capt. (50 gross tons). I am looking for diving packages to review, so I am looking on opinions on the best gear. I plan on diving in the cooler water in NY (1000 Islands etc.) and some warmer trips. I was advised...
