I found a dive light at Wazee Lake on March 14th. If you can describe the light and approximately where it was lost, I'll get it back to you.

I have a DUI weight and trim system that has been used only a couple of times in fresh water. It is in like new condition, and comes with the carrying bag (also in like new condition). Asking $75 plus shipping.

I have a Suunto Vyper Air for sale and includes the wireless transmitter. It is in good shape, and I recently replaced the outer protective lens due to the old one being scratched. The battery in both the computer and the transmitter are 1 year old. It comes with the original strap, and also...

When new OW divers are certified, they are taught some skills and given some rules to follow and it is regarded as pretty safe...if those skills stay current and the rules are followed. After a while, the diver gets better and seeks more advanced training such as cave diving. The skills such...

to the best of my knowledge, this is my first time posting in this forum (although I have been known to jump into a thread on the "new posts" list without looking at the forum) since up until this point, I wasn't a cave diver, but that changed last weekend. Over 6 days last week, I had the...

I was perusing the TSA website checking for any updates since my last dive trip, and was linked to the FAA website for additional restrictions. I came upon this, and although I always pack my dive lights in carry on (mostly as a precaution against damage), I didn't know that the FAA explicitly...

I had an interesting conversation recently, where there was a lot of confusion regarding intended meaning of sentences. I probably thought about the discussion too much, but I came up with a few phrases related to diving that I think are a little odd. For each of these, ask your self was the...

With my impending trimix training on the horizon, I am looking to go argon for my drysuit. I have been looking specifically at the Highland system, and the DUI system. What I mostly like about the highland system is that I can buy the parts in pieces including choosing a tank size. I don't...

I have been having trouble with my trim for quite some time now. Whenever I stop moving, my feet sink, unless I keep them moving in a semi-backward kick to keep me stationary, and my feet up. I have been working on keeping horizontal, and my knees up, but hasn't seemed to change this. Then...

I have a pair of Atomic Aquatics split fins for sale, these are the "smoke on the water" design, and includes the optional spring straps as well as the original straps. I bought these new when I first got into scuba diving, but since then I have switch over to Jet fins, and don't have a need...

I have been nitrox certified for a while now, diving nitrox periodically on vacation, but now using EAN32 almost exclusively and think it is about time I bought my own analyzer. After poking around the web a bit, I see a pretty wide range of prices. The Nuvair quick stick goes for around $240...

Just got back from taking GUE Fundamentals in Mexico. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their diving skills. I had a few issues. Firstly, I was diving in much lighter underwear, and was very foot heavy. I am used to my legs being a little more positive, and I found myself...

this past week I was out in the Seattle area, and made it out to the Wednesday TWEAK dive with NWUE. What a fantastic time I had! I met up with Ross and Dylan at Alki Cove 2 around 4:00 and had to do some last minute gear reconfiguration (brought my doubles wing and regs but was diving...

I posted this in the Basic Scuba Discussions, since I am anticipating that this thread will go in the direction of turning new divers away from caves. I myself am not cave certified yet (but working on it), so I will not offer any insight into the training and equipment needed for safely...

Can anyone recommend some drysuit insulation for me? I have a DUI FLX Extreme drysuit, and currently have ActionWear Professional insulation. DUI lists this as 560g/m2 and rates it for 45-60 degrees. However, I think I tolerate the cold quite well, as I have used this underwear quite...

I have never posted the first message in an online forum before :) does Atomic have plans to release a wrist based version of the Cobalt? perhaps even with wirless air integration? I like the interface of the Cobalt, and especially the OLED display, but just don't like consoles.

In a recent discussion on scubaboard, a comment was made that a diver may use a BC only for surface flotation, never adding air at depth. Rather than completely hijack that thread, I thought I would start a new one. At the start of my dive I am negative to begin the descent, then add short...

I am looking for a dive watch that contains a few certain features, and just haven't found the right one. - digital - easy to read display (i.e. reasonably large) - large buttons that can be used with dry gloves - backlit (like a Timex Indiglo, not a small light in the corner) - stop watch -...

Anyone using the (relatively) new safety wheels I have been hearing so much about? For those that don't know, it is a tank valve knob that shows red when closed, combinations of red and green when partially opened, and green when fully opened. I can definitely see some value for instructors...
