I've been looking at reviews and opinions but I'd like to get an answer from those I feel I can trust. We are mostly going to be diving and night life doesn't matter to us. We may use airbnb and rent a car or we may just cab it. See opinions range from Ambergris Caye to Glovers reef to the...

I had purchased a pair of shears from them which had excessive oxidization the first week I used them. I rinsed them daily and after 4 days this is how they looked. This was still while I was on my liveaboard. I deemed this unacceptable so i contacted Scubamax. They advised they could do...

So they say they are 12L tanks but I'm unsure based on markings (S080). Based on the bar listing (207) I'm prone to believing it but they look like AL80s to me. Trying to figure it out for my SAC. They are Luxfer tanks. Thanks much guys, Dave

Just had battery replaced about 5 dives ago. DSS bungee mount is very nice but it also includes unused straps which were removed. It also includes the USB cable to sync dive logs. The cable itself ran me over $50. I'll have pics up tomorrow. $150 shipped obo

I assume it is given that the suunto and it's conservative algorithm will probably lock out on some of the dives I do that the perdix/petrel won't even blink at. Anyone use a suunto as a backup? I really like the computer aside from it being like a nagging wife wanting to go shopping and would...

So it seems physically the Petrel1/2 are the same w/ FW differences and apparently a digital compass on the 2. Is there anything else different on the 1 vs. 2? I do have a wrist analog compass now so that's not a huge deal but I'm curious of the other differences. Depending on price I may go...

A liveaboard I'll be doing uses 12L alum. tanks (I think alum since they say "alloy") I have not found exact dimensions for 12L tanks nor buoyancy characteristics can anyone give a bit of input on this? Thanks much. Dave

We'll probably be in Thailand for 2 weeks up to 20 days for wifeys 40th and are looking to dive. I'm just going through liveaboard options and looking at what they offer. A bathroom ensuite is mandatory for us as well as hot water/AC. I would like to dive nitrox given the sheer quantity of...

I dove w/ Scuba Mau years ago pre accident and was looking to find a dive op for one day next month. They have very few trip advisor reviews (2 this year) and nothing really on here that is recent. Making me very leary although they are responsive to emails. If not them I'll probalby dive w/...

I'm using a low volume scubapro orbit mask. Pain is at the bottom of my nose right at the base of my lip and that associated cartilage. It's not a chafing issue but a constant pressure issue. It occurs about 40 minutes into my first dive of the day and goes away the second mask is removed...

Before I went I knew my CC would not cover trucks. I opted not to get the rental company insurance as after reading the fine print it does not cover the other vehicle involved and regardless if I'm at fault they take a $1000 from my CC until they figure out what the insurance companies decide...

I've noticed that is very difficult to crack while upside down. I've played w/ the effort knob w/ no luck. I didn't have the presence of mind to try my other second stage to see if it did it. I've confirmed my IP is good (Within specs), my cracking pressure is about 1" (On the sensitive...

We'll be there doing shore and boat dives. Would love to meet some SB members. We plan to be at the Wannadive BBQ on Thursday too. Dave

I did this in other countries and it has worked but does anyone offer this in Bonaire? I did some searching and it seems you can buy a prepaid phone but I want to use data, etc. on my phone if possible. Dave

I can get an SK-7 new for a bit under $60 and an SK-8 for a bit under $80, what would you do and why? I've read the card is improved but I'm not sure what that means for a newbie navigator. Thanks much Dave

I'm not seeing much on them anymore around here. The Lynx seems have a few features I really would like to have. We are not technical divers and probably never will be. I have a suunto vyper now and have about 70 dives on it and are finding it limiting our bottom time due to its algorithms...

Staying there is a bit out of our price range so we are going to stay down the street and do the 12 boat dive and unlimited shore dive package w/ a nitrox upgrade ($60/week). Did you have any issue doing shore dives or getting tanks being as you didn't stay there? Anything else I should be...

Did some searching and I've read that there are 4 or 5 different types of spool valves yet when I see them sold I don't see any dimensions or way to differentiate them. I found this but I'm unsure if it is what I need. Thanks guys. Dave

I am just wondering. My mouthpiece had a weird failure on my last dive trip (about dive day #7 with this second stage). The red and black pieces have separated on one side. Thanks Dave

Just started a new dive trip and the first two dives I imported into sub surface showed the surface temp but all subsequent dives do not show an air temp in sub surface. Any idea what I may be doing wrong or how I can correct this? I generally let the water contact activate the watch, should I...
