Aahhhh, now it makes sense. Dolphins....with frickin laser beams on their heads!

Another option for you, although admittedly not a cheap one. Some friends that I trained with in Bali, have taken up residency in Flores and own/operate a Dive Center there. They just recently finished this boat and have completed a few voyages so far with good reviews. When I finally get back...

The marketing I've seen is usually aimed at divers that spend the majority of their time in tropical locations or more specifically, Instructors that spend a lot more time on the surface with students then your typical diver would.

All of the above are excellent suggestions and are more than likely exactly how your "guide" learned to dive the site as well. In a new area you could always try to dive the site in a specific shape (square, triangle) trying to mimic # of fin kicks in each direction. If you combine that with the...

I've carried my freediving fins on before by just putting a bungee around them so they are 1 piece. If questioned you can try to show how flexible they are and that they can slide over the top of most bags in the overhead, even if it's full. That being said, on my one trip to Roatan, they were...

Maunalua Bay has a number of dive sites that are fairly benign and easy to dive most of the time. Like many sites, as vis reduces and currents pick up, things can go sideways. Having worked on Oahu as an Instructor and guide for a short period, I can tell you that a lot of "vacation divers"...

To add to what @shoredivr said in regards to current.....DSMB's can have a tendency to act like sails because of differences in current speed. Make sure you've discussed the plan with your buddy so they can send their's up at the same time or at least be near by when you shoot yours in the...

Also doubles as a shewee. Shewee Extreme

Directly from their website: "To enroll in a PADI Freediver Instructor Training Course, you must be at least 18 years old, have a PADI Master Freediver certification (or have a qualifying certification), be a current Emergency First Response Instructor (or qualifying CPR/first aid instructor)...

I'll just leave this here.....Behance. Reads like another attempt by someone with little to no dive experience trying to revolutionize our sport again. Anyone remember this thing? Triton refunds backers for its 'gills' device Skepticism and concern are on the rise. Mods, feel free to move if...

Contact Elios. They are one of the longest running, custom wetsuit manufacturers in the business. They have a huge selection of neoprene to choose from and are very easy to work with. I just picked up a 3 piece Freedive suit from them (1 hooded jacket, 1 jacket w/o hood and 1 pant) made from...

I agree that flooding the mask was a bad decision and could have had dire results. I personally would have tried the "Tank Cradle" position that was mentioned by another poster. It proves fairly effective when done properly. If she had continued to fight in a manner I found unmanageable, I...

I did them while I was there and it was an awesome experience. If you've never felt narced before, you definitely will get to experience it on the research dives. How long the tests take underwater is completely dependent on your memory skills while breathing gases at depth. I remember having...

Unfortunately GoPro outsources their customer service questions to call/help centers. They aren't the most knowledgeable people on the planet and you apparently got someone else that either doesn't understand what you are asking or doesn't know the product well enough. The answer you keep...

I believe they do have all the accessories, you are just looking at the wrong one. Did you actually purchase the LCD Bacpac? As SailNaked pointed out, the Bacpacs (Battery or LCD) will have additional doors in the packaging to accommodate the extra thickness that they give the camera. The...

Sharks don't need to see you to know exactly where you are. They have 6 other senses they can use to find you if that is their goal. They can sense electrical pulses and perceive both vibrations and pressure changes in the water so unless you can stop your heart and brain from functioning and...

From their Facebook page: IMPORTANT NEWS! BEWARE OF STOLEN PETRELS! A number of Shearwater Petrel technical dive computers have recently been stolen from our UK distributor, Narked at 90. Please watch out for Petrels with the following serial numbers, as they are stolen goods and can be...

They still exist but are not widely used. There are a few reasons for this but the one you'll hear the most is that they are a gear solution to a skills problem. Clearing a regular mask is not hard to do and those with purge valves add a failure point to the mask, whether it is common they...

Can anyone tell me what these may be worth, if anything? My Dad is trying to clean out his garage and I have no clue where he got this stuff as he's never been diving, but he is a bit of a packrat. I know Dacor is no longer and it appears the trade-in program Mares ran went out about 6-7 years...

That post was 8 years ago Tyler. Unless he ran out of cash and is living in the park, my guess is he's gone.
