My dive buddies and I have been using action packer boxes for years to travel. They are hard plastic and have molded fittings for locks. Works very well and the airlines had no problems with using them. Very durable. I have switched to a molded plastic tool box that has wheels and pull up...

You can get the pure talc at a billard shop or pharmacy. The billard shops usually are cheaper. Just make sure there is no fragrance added.

Have to agree with the rest.....Kona is the better choice for diving. The coral is not as colorful as other places but the sea life is great. I dove with Jack's Diving Locker, only 12 divers to a boat. Great service and plenty of room on the boat.

There is an effort to call attention to this issue. You can find more information at: www.cenotes.com/save/ This is the website of the DeRoses who run AquaTech Villa DeRosa in Akamul. They are very active in fighting to perserve the caves. Almost all of the dive operations in that area...

I have been privilaged to dive many of the caves along the Riviera Maya. Unfortunately, caves that we dove just a couple of years ago are no longer safe due to the raw sewage. These caves are treasures that may soon be lost forever to the diver but more importantly to the fragile eco system...

May want to check ebay and other on-line places that sells dive equipment. A buddy of mine found his dive computer someone lifted this way. (wasn't on ebay) The guy was very cooperative to give back the computer if no questions were asked. But be careful if you think you find your dry suit...

Easy way to convert a regular mask since you can not use your glasses is to buy "correction lenses" that go on the inside of your mask. Most dive shops have them or check out an on-line dive shop. Later, if you want you can have lenses made for your mask. Good luck

I have a hot tub at home and it is a absolute no-no to use after diving. Same as a very hot shower. It can increase the chances of DCS. It may be very tempting but one cannot dive and use the hot tub the same day safely.

Definately can peek in, especially if you are single, LOL

Hey, if he is single...

Know just exactly how you feel....blew out my knee this week and will be laid up for 8 weeks!! No diving until maybe August. I am already getting cabin fever.

From the experiences I have had with buddying up with a stranger, I see nothing wrong with having a very long discussion (interrogation) with the person prior to agreeing to be a buddy. Several have been good divers and in talking before the dive I had a good impression. I have refused to dive...

I have been diving drysuit for about 10 years and as a women have not found a P-valve that I would want to use. No need to be embarrassed as this is very important on long dives. There are two kinds, one involving catharizing one self, (no thanks) and the external "cup" design. The external...

Thought I was posting a reply to another thread. Disregard this thread.

I dive a hoseless AI computer, (love it and will not change). Since I dive exclusively doubles, I have a SPG on each tank. (This is for back up in case I ever have to shut down one reg due to a problem.) PS Thought I was posting a reply to this post, but somehow started a new thread.

Weekend is almost here and wishing I had a dive planned; Grounded by an ear infection. NO FUN, NO FUN!!!! (Never had a tantrum on the net before, just wanted to scream and nobody at work understands. Thanks for letting me get it off my chest.) So anybody doing a tech/cave/wreck dive this...

Have not heard G Gentile speak in many years......does he still advocate not running a reel to penetrate a wreck but rather memorize the wreck a little at a time with repeated dives? That was one thing I personally did not agree with. For me, makes more sense to run a reel; and safer. But it...

Took it too...be interested in reading the results.
