    Leak testing my drysuit, myself....

    Thanks for the replies. I went into the local pond, up to my neck seal for 5 minutes, and no leaks. Before hand I brushed out the zipper and waxed just the end tip. Hopefully that's all it was. Just for understanding, is not waxing the full zipper recommended as the wax will trap...

    Thanks for the suggestions/reinforcement. So don't wax the whole zipper, just the end then eh?

    Backscatter service....?

    So I have a video strobe, that is not functioning but maybe 30% of the time, if that. It seems to work until at depth, then simply doesn't come on. Have mutlipe sets of charged batteries, etc. Backscatter wants me to send it back to them, have it for a month, then send it back or a new one...

    Leak testing my drysuit, myself....

    The last couple of dives this weekend I was getting a bit wet. Somewhat new to the drysuit, although I am really enjoying it. It's DUI with a factory plastic zipper. Could I simply put that on without undergarments, and walk into my local pond to ensure that it doesn't leak, or where it is...

    Replacement for cr123 batteries in intovatec lights...long shot I'm sure

    I have 5 older intovatec lights I used to use when I started diving. They worked great, very rugged, and I've used them around the house after that. The only real downside is they take cr123 batteries, two of them. Does anyone know if there are solid replacements, maybe even one single usb...

    Equipment If you can't drop your weights and you are sinking

    I use the dive rite pockets with my drysuit, that holds 12 lbs in each side. Between the buckle and the secondary velcro flap, it seems very well packed and sturdy.

    Bonaire solo diving and thefts

    My 2 cents.. 1. we get a truck from AB. 2. we rent an airbnb. 3. we get tanks from the plaza. drive in, load up, drive out. no assistance. In this case, you can dive solo all you want. No I don't think anyone steals tanks from a solo diver, because when there are 2 divers there's always 2...

    Question Getting to the Maldives from the US

    I only stayed 1 day prior to negate any flying issues on the way there. sat in the AC i my underwear and loved it for a day. :) From what I could tell, that is a good description of Male. I was in Hulhumale (where you get on the liveaboards too) which is just next door, description still...

    Training Scuba Ranch TX Diving Accident

    I hate to say this, but unless I know personally the instructor, I can't imagine not being in the water with my kid at that age. I took OW with my youngest when he was maybe 15 or 16. My oldest did OW years later, and I was not in the water with him, and did not like the experience being on...

    Training Scuba Ranch TX Diving Accident

    This is a much better worded version of the point I was trying to make. It really baffles me how so many divers don't understand this concept that is generally common amongst all other hobbies...

    Training Scuba Ranch TX Diving Accident

    Not to change the subject, but this is a great example of why after my OW class, I realized it would of been a much better experience if I had done the check outs all in Florida or in another more friendly water condition environment. Everyone always says...do your check outs locally even if...

    Next Trip(s)

    We rented sunwise last trip a couple years ago. The house was nice, and everything was good. Getting a private pool was definitely a big plus with our property. probably won't go again without it.
