    Diving Holidays in Cuba - The Ultimate Guide

    Went there in September through the Aggressor Fleet. First, the educational sponsor, Oceans for Youth was expensive. We did a tour of Old Havana, which was worthwhile. then a bus tour of 'Modern' Havana, which amounted to a tour of the dilapidated 70's style soviet apartments in the west part of...

    "Oh wait, that's right, most jackets are single walled and you can't do that, silly me." Knighthawk has 1000 denier outer bladder & a 420 denier nylon inner.........

    Why is a Jacket BC better than a BP/W?

    I can see this a personal choice. there is no wrong or right perspective. Personally, I used & loved the Nighthawk for years. I had finally worn it out after over 600 dives. Recently, I bought a BPW set up. I could never get it down to where I felt comfortable with it. Perhaps it was the donut...

    uwatec galileo sol

    I have been diving the Sol since 2010. It the best!! What I especially like that no one so far has mentioned is the compass. Once you learn how to use it, you will never have to worry not being able to find the boat, no matter how bad the vis is... Battery life is great too, I have over 400...

    Backup Wrist Computer

    I bought a used Scubapro Xtender for $225 on Ebay. My main computer is the galileo sol. the algorithum is similar, on the Xtender, but a bit more conservative. I keep a spg in my bag for the Xtender... For a back up, shop around, you don't have to buy a new one....

    Air Integrated Dive Computers and SPG's

    With an AI computer, there is really no need to drag along a spg. I have had several dives, where my AI computer, for whatever reason, failed. Knowing my buddy's dive profile, I was able to finish the dive with plenty of air. The secret is pick a buddy that sucks more air than you do.... BTW I...

    Galileo strap

    I can appreciate the use of bungee strap, but some of us would rather not. My strap broke on my Sol after about 175 dives. However, the transmitter crapped out at the same time. Sent it in to SP, got a new strap & transmitter FOC... $100.00 for a strap? yea, sure....

    ScubaPro C - Zip Wetsuits

    Problem with the 4th Element suit is that they are hard to find here in the States. No one carries stock in them, & they have to be brought in from 4th Element. I tried to buy 1 last week. 1 online place told me that to get a 5mm Proteus would take a month, It might be a great suit, but good is...
