    Inexpensive red filter

    I am NOT impressed with the fact that I will have to pay some ridiculous price for a bit of colored plastic that fits over my lens.

    Cobra 3 Gauge Mode - Don't do it. Also, easy way to remove scratches from protector.

    Word of warning, don't use the Gauge Mode on your Cobra 3. Be very careful when you are changing from Nitrox to Air that you don't accidentaly put it to Gauge Mode. This happened to me for a pool session! Geez! In a 9' max depth pool, with students. Using air. Next, as I am trying to reset it...
