That would be like buying a new car and then having to take it in for a state inspection the next day.

Thanks for the tips everyone. Looks like we might be in for some long car journeys.

Hi All, My wife and I are off to St. Lucia in three weeks time. We are staying on the southeast part of the island (Coconut Bay Resort) next to Vieux Fort. I know that most of the diving is on the central eastern side of the islands, near Castries? and the Pitons. But I just wanted to know...

Yes, it's the very same kind of lead. Lead neurotoxicity concerns are greatest with children (especially those under 6) as their brains are still developing. However, even as an adult you should still use caution. Always thoroughly awash your hands after handling lead weights. The white water...

Soak them in a dilution of bleach. I wouldn't be so worried about how they look but just ensure you have removed any biofilm or bacteria

Then you'll definitely have no problems. Mine hold up well at 100 feet in a cold quarry in Pennsylvania during the winter months. Maybe I should just move south!

The slave strobe will make a huge difference. I would recommend purchasing the fibre optic cable and using black tape to seal off any light that may "leak" through as to avoid backscatter. Also, from you photo you posted, it looks like you do some cold water diving. I would also recommend...

I have a similar powershot u/w camera and found I got much better results when I added a slave strobe. If you're looking for an affordable option (under $200) try looking at the intova range of strobes.

Thanks Peter. Unfortunately it has to be the Scout as this is the locator system that the quarry I go diving at uses. The transmitter is required for solo diving. $20 to rent theirs or free if you have your own.

Thanks, but I'm look specifically for this model.

Looking for used Dive Tracker Scout Transmitter. Does anyone have one for sale or know where I can get one? Cheers, Darren

Divers-Supply.com has one

Sounds to me like she had no business diving in such deep water without refreshing her skill set first. Simple common sense!

Deployment of dsmb/lift bag? Just be careful. It is easy to get into trouble even in such shallow waters. The best place to practice many of those skills would be in a pool.

Sounds like you handled the situation well. Another good reason to carry a lift bag/dsmb and line with you on every dive!

Hand tight is fine. You'll know as soon as you crack that valve if it needs any more

At $45 for a replacement card, it might be more cost effective to take another course/specialty and just use that card?!

Thanks for all your help!

Thanks for the suggestions. I had previously tried the dry gloves before (northern diver brand) and they worked great until they both sprung a leak at about 100' in a cold Pennsylvania quarry in January. It was a long swim back! I only joke about the duct tape as I once heard of someone using...

Hello! I’m looking for some ideas as to a quick fix for my latex drysuit seals. The gauntlet-style seals are a few years old now are no longer making tight seal around my wrists (i.e. they spring a small leak when I clench my wrists). I fully intend to have the seals replaced real soon...
