    I have not been on this site for a while. Going to Cozumel to dive this weekend after a year or so off. Can't wait. My gills are very dry....

    Prescription Lenses

    I had Seavision put my Rx into the mask 10 years ago. Have not had a problem since. It was a little costly but what is good vision worth? To me it is priceless when I am diving.

    underwater and breathing fears

    IF you can afford the expense, you might consider private lessons. Then the instructor can spend more time addressing your particular needs and concerns. Just a thought. If it is any consolation, I have over 200 dives and every time I get in open blue water, I have to tell myself I know how...

    Olympus C-5000

    I have this camera with the Olympus housing. It has been an excellent rig for general underwater shooting. For the best results, team it with a flash of some kind. You will need an optical cable set up as there is no electrical connection on the housing for the hot shoe. I am using a Inon...

    trip didn't go, rescheduled for memorial day

    Donnad, Would love to hear about your rig trip too. Have not been out of Port Aransas before. Like to see if the diving is worth the trip from Dallas.

    Which housings are better (less prone to leak)

    Hard to beat the Oly cases for price and access to all the camera buttons. Ike is probably a better product overall but is it expensive and tends to be boxy and bulky. I have used the Oly housing with a C 5000 Zoom with no complaints. Only time it leaked was in the camera bucket on a boat...

    Cssp 4/21?

    OK, how many can commit to Sunday? Got me thinking about it now. And what is the "truth' about the water temp? My pool is 65 degrees without a thermocline. I read somewhere water at CSSP was 74 at surface with no 'cline. That is still kinda cool but got enuf 'prene to try it. 1mm plus 3/2...

    Cssp 4/21?

    Wine, women and song then squantered the rest......those were the days. Now can't drink, married one of the women, and since I don't drink, I know I can't sing. Guess I will just dive and buy more equipment.....and squander the rest of food, rent, and gasoline.

    Carry options for Digicam/Housing/Strobe

    I got a back pack with wheels. Stuff gets heavy when huffing between gates. Can carry camera, mask, reg, swim suit, shades, passport, etc. All the stuff you need when traveling out of the country.

    Bottom time on drift dives

    Like most everyone else on here, I dive 32 first dive and 36 the second, more shallow dive. Usually get about 50 to 60 minutes out of a tank. Most often when drift diving, run out of reef before I hit 500 to 750 psi. Like to come up with the divemaster if I can. Just an old man, macho thing.
