I'm going to be in Costa Rica for a 4 nights. Refresh my memory. I can fly THEN dive, but I can't dive THEN fly, right? So, if I'm there for 4 nights, I'll want to do my dive by the 3rd morning. correct? Tried to google this and got 9 million different answers.

Sorry. Pay no attention to the orientation of the BC on the tank. It's just hanging there for storage. ---------- Post added June 8th, 2015 at 07:31 AM ---------- Great link and great idea with the HP hose for the transmitter! Thanks Deco! -Mark

Hey guys, I'm a newly certified OW Diver. We went over a lot of things in my class but never addressed things like which way your LP hoses should point when they come out of the 1st stage. There seems to be a lot of variation in setup and regulator in the pictures on the web. So Google has...

I'm currently constructing a save a dive kit. What do you put in yours? Thanks, Mark

OK...so I just watched LeisurePro's video on regulators and it raised some issues I know nothing about. I totally thought I had a handle on the regulator stuff and now I'm not so sure. Can someone offer some guidance? What is the difference between a Piston and a Diaphragm regulator and how...

I've heard that on this post and others...I think I will stay away from Mares for this reason.

Wow...that was a far more comprehensive response than I expected! Thank you!! One question: "afaik" what does that mean? Thanks again, Mark

I have a couple questions concerning BCs 1. I've noticed that many BC brands also make other stuff, which makes sense economically. Is there a brand that is famous/well-known for their BCs? 2. To get more specific, is there a brand of BC that is famous for a particular aspect or...

I'm a new diver and have no reason to know this just yet but I'll ask the question out of pure curiosity: I'm told Nitrox extends your bottom time. Exactly how? Or more to the point...why isn't all air created equal? Thanks, Mark

Lionfish can be very dangerous. Are we sure someone isn't trying to control the diver population?

All, I've logged less than 10 dives but I want to invest in a good, all-purpose BC that will let me grow as my diving skills progress. Unfortunately, I was also one of the 600,000 jobs shed by the U.S. economy last month, so I'm not into investing a ton of money right now...

Thanks PH! I notice you are from Michigan. Do you dive the lake? Can you make any wetsuit recomendations? Thoughts on attached vs. separate hoods? I see I can pay as little as $150 to $600 (and probably more) for the warmer ones. Is there significant bang for the buck here? I don't want...

Really? a BP/w vs. a BC...that's good to know...I was just looking into BC's Thanks for the redirect!! As for split fins...I can't figure out why anyone would want these. It reminds me of trying to row a boat with a hole in the the oars. I've tried and it is NOT efficient. -Mark

All, I discovered SCUBA this winter while in St. Lucia. I did one very quick dive with a local outfit that involved some pretty serious handholding (safety first!) and a really great intro class. I enjoyed it so much that deciding to get certified and explore this world was pretty much...
