I don't know the name of these things (obviously!) but mine have given out and are falling apart. They are rectangular things that slip through the webbing on my Halycon backplate that help grip the tank. I need two of them. Halycon says that I have to buy a new webbing kit to get these two...

It is a long shot I know. But I forgot the charger for my Light and Motion GoBe 500 Light. I have been to all the shops here and no one has one of this type. Does anyone coming to Coz soon have one that I could buy? I really like this little Light and am not a fan of the type the stores are...

For the past few years, I have been wearing a ladies BARE Evoke 7 mm wetsuit. However, some life challenges over the past year or so have caused me to lose a lot of weight...mostly in my legs but hips and arms also. I just tried it on and while the top still fits reasonably well, the legs are...

We tried a new-ish restaurant that is, quite literally, around the corner from our house. It is an Argentinian steak house. A handful of tables indoors and 3 outdoors. The owner/server told me they (husband is the chef) opened about a year ago and that they go to the mainland once a week to get...

I have a Halycon BP/w. On today's dive the dump valve blew out 30 seconds into the dive. I am in Mexico (Cozumel) for the winter and no Halycon rep on the island. There is a good repair place and I will be heading there shortly to see if they think it can be repaired. But maybe I can just buy a...

Due to a series of mishaps, I need to buy a new computer. I am already in Cozumel, so need to have a new Shearwater Teric brought down. They told me they could have it to me in time for Christmas. Just need to send it to someone in Canada who can bring it in their carryon (it has a Li-on battery...

The boot for my ScubaPro Aladin 2G literally fell apart in my hands today. I checked with the ScubaPro dealer here on the island of Cozumel who told me they are no longer sold as the computer is discontinued. Does anyone have one they could sell to me? Otherwise I guess I have an expensive...

Just booked a one way ticket from Regina to Cozumel on Air Canada. At $400 (roughly) that is a pretty good fare. On November 16 they are starting direct flights from Toronto to Cozumel. Not sure how long this fare will hold but I REALLY didn't want to go through Cancun and the ****-show that is...

I am a STRONG advocate of buying out-of-country emergency medical health coverage (because I have seen first hand what happens to people who don't and who suffer major health incidents while out-of-country). While I haven't looked into it, I expect that some insurers are either refusing to...

Hello. Scubaboard mods move fund-raising threads started in various forums to one called "Good Causes and Solicitations". The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a number of well-intentioned people to start crowd-funding threads for their favourite dive op, or other charities helping people whose...

Click here to support Find Cameron Donaldson organized by Friends of Northernone There is an active thread on this situation in the Accidents and Incidents forum. Scubaboard Staff Member - Northernone - Missing in Cozumel However, in case you don't go there, and read all the way through, I...

Common advice is it's dangerous it is to ride a scooter in Cozumel. Lots of people dismiss that. I just saw a video posted on a local Cozumel Spanish-speaking discussion group of a scooter-car accident here today in Cozumel a couple of blocks from my street. The scooter was proceeding at a...

Thinking of buying a Perdix AI. What would be a suitable backup wrist computer? I don't want to have to buy another Perdix as the back-up due to cost. Right now I'm diving with a Galileo and some kind of Aladin as backup.

And therefore, so have the itchy lumps and bumps I acquired in the past couple of days. Am treating with hydrocortisone cream, allergy meds and something I bought locally called Andantol. They got trapped under my beanie/strap so stings are in my scalp and from ear to ear under my chin/throat...

Came upon a nurse shark today at Yucab which had a hook embedded in its mouth and some attached line. Nobody in our group had any line cutters. Kind souls may wish to keep an eye out for this thing and at least try and cut the trailing line. I couldn't really see how much there was as it was...

I'm looking for some help shooting subjects in white sand. I am shooting on manual and using a strobe. I find I am blowing out the subjects. Any tips?

Based on my Humann critter ID book, I THINK this is a Swollen-claw Mantis, but as it's the first time I have seen such a critter, I would appreciate confirmation (or an alternate suggestion). We were swimming over sand flats near the end of Santa Rosa wall and in about 35-40 feet of water as I...

The crap wrist strap on my ScubaPro Galileo broke today (for the third time). Even if I could replace it (which I can't...no one on the island has one), I am weary of replacing crap with more crap. So I thought I would bungee it...if I could find bungee cord. However, none of the dive shops have...

i apologize if this rather basic question has been asked before (by me perhaps even!) but if so I can't find the answer. I cannot find a dial on my Nauticam housing to set shutter speed (unless I go out of Manual and change the setting to S. Can someone tell me how I can shoot on Manual and...
