    Dive Rite Transplate Steel Package w/Trek Wing

    the trans pak is adjustable to size, Right now all the webbing is adjusted for myself but can be adjusted as needed. I'm 6'3" 205lbs, so right now it's adjusted for a large accomodation. I'm not sure on the lift, if I'm not mistaken it's only about 20lbs. With the plate you can hook up a...

    Dive Rite Transplate Steel Package w/Trek Wing

    I love this BC, but don't like traveling with it. I used this for one season only (the rig is three years old), probably about 75-100 dives on it. Comes with cam straps, pockets, and surface marker buoy pouch. I live in Clearwater, FL and will ship for actual cost anywhere in CONUS. 395.00...

    YMCA courses?

    echoing some of the other's comments-in the YMCA class you will work harder, do more skills, spend more time in the pool and in general be challenged more so than in other agencies curriculums. It will take longer but you will be a more confident and confident diver for having done so. The Y...

    SSI, PADI, NAUI, Oh my!!!!

    my 2 cents having been around the major agencies-would be that from a marketing standpoint PADI is head and shoulders above the others-they simply are the best in terms of marketing themselves, their member stores and instructors. If you're in the biz for bucks, I'd say choose PADI. I think...

    FLA Diver in SoCal

    Anyone care to take an experienced FL/Carribean diver out to share the underwater sites of LA/Orange County? I'd like to try Redondo or Laguna. I'm toting my gear so will need only tanks, weights and maybe a recommendation for L/XL 7mm wetsuit rental. I'm in town from 5/23 to 6/10, weekends...

    New to Lobstering

    Check out www.catchlobster.com-this is the site of SCUBA Sun N Fun. They put out a pretty darn good DVD called "Tail Tamer" it's amusing with a lot of good info and different techniques/equipment. I use it to supplement my class before mini season begins each year. These guys manufacture and...

    Weeki Wachi

    You do need to be with an operator registered to supervise divers in WW. It's a nice dive but you'll see all you need to see with one tank. Vis is unlimited, depth is a max of about 30'-freshwater fish, occasional manatees, even otters now and again. I regularly take classes in there from...

    SB105 Compatability for Digital

    Thanks Mike! Will my standard SB105 sync cord work with most of the systems presently available, or do I replace the sync cord depending upon the camera/housing I select? Seems as though Canon and Olympus are really into the U/W housings for their cameras, correct?

    PRO Advice, please

    IMHO-the DM program should essentially be an apprenticeship en route to becoming an instructor. It really depends upon your aspirations and goals in becoming a DM. Too many go through DM too fast and then are ill prepared for an instructor course. You really need class and pool time with...

    SB105 Compatability for Digital

    Any thoughts on any digital camera/housing compatability with the Nikonos SB105. I'm thinking there must be someway to use this strobe with a housing that's out there somewhere. Thanks!
