    How do you feel about upside down trim pockets on waist for BP/W ballast solution?

    I require 26lbs of ballast added to my BP/W and 119HP steel tank set up. I dive dry. Idea: Add four trim pockets mounted upside down along my waist webbing. Each trim pocket can hold up to 5lbs. I only need 16lbs total on my waist as I'll have 10lbs in trim pockets on my upper tank band. Trim...

    At What Point Do You Become A Boat For Hire And What Are The Legal Ramifications?

    Some friends and I were discussing buying a boat as a partial ownership arrangement. Three of us would each buy 1/3rd ownership and split the various ongoing expenses that come along w. owning a boat. I was discussing this w. another friend who was not part of the buying arrangement, and told...

    Non-Useable DUI Zip Seals

    If you have access to a few sets of used DUI Zip Seals that no longer seal, I would be interested in buying them from you. The Zip Seal part must not be mutilated or compromised. PM me if interested. Thanks!

    Was perusing boats for sale and came across THIS listing. Checked to see if there were any threads on it and there was one from 2012 but it seems the price back then was $150K. It can be yours today for only $25K.

    My Biggest Fear (GW Shark encounter)

    Actually my biggest fear is doing a kick out on a shore dive on top of the water and never seeing what hits me. The music doesn't really help, either: Original LINK RJilFvxMQE0

    Canon G12 Focus and Locking Up Issues

    I’m a pretty novice photographer. Recently I had the opportunity to pick up a Canon G12 in an Ikelite housing at a really good price. It also came w. an external strobe and a WD-4 wet lens. I tried it out this weekend. Although I was happy w. the overall performance, I came across a couple of...

    Twin Jet Spring Straps Broke

    About 3 yrs ago I bought a set of Twin Jet Spring Straps. One of the three prongs broke off (see picture) on one of them. I'd rather not spend the money to but a whole new set. Is there a cheaper solution? Thanks!

    Broken Strap on my Tusa Imprex Pro BCD

    I love my Tusa BCD. Specifically, I love the way a tank feels when it's on my back (Independent Harness System). Unfortunately my shoulder strap broke right where it connects to the inner part of the BCD on the other side of the weight pockets. Is there a fix for this? Or is this BCD toast...

    Silent Bubbles and Fatigue or Tiredness

    Me: 41yo male, reasonably fit (I go on 25 mile bike rides over hills regularly), 5’9”, 195lbs. I was certified in Jul ’10 and dove wet up until Oct of last year where I started diving dry. I have noticed a slight decrease in fatigue but am still quite ‘sleepy’ after...

    It seems that Malibu is one of the better areas to dive in the LA area, so I thought some might find this article useful or interesting:

    Thrill Seekers Catch Record-Breaking Shark

    We will be working together to find out more about mako sharks... I love it when "sportsmen" try to find a reason to legitimize their otherwise pointless actions. STORY

    Hanging a Strobe for UW Navigation

    Has anyone tried hanging a strobe such as this one (Jotron Xenon Marker Light MF1112) from a boat to assist in navigating back to the boat? Maybe attach it to the anchor line or rear steps. If so, what would you estimate the max distance you could see the strobe with a viz of 30ft? Also, was it...

    A little teeny weeny exhaust cuff valve...

    I just bought a used Northern Diver drysuit at a fantastic price. It's in excellent condition and has some nice bells and whistles (trilam, cuff system, integrated boots, over zipper, etc). I was so happy with the deal I didn't make too much out of the fact that it didn't have the standard...

    Drysuit Boots Don't Have to Make Your Current Fins Obsolete

    I thought I'd post this just for informational purposes. I just started diving dry recently and - among all of the other things that you must adjust to - there was one thing that I was really disappointed in. Properly fitting Rock Boots will typically make your foot one size bigger in fins. I...

    How Many of You Drysuit Divers Replace Your Own Seals?

    So I just bought a used Whites Catalyst drysuit in near perfect condition. But the wrist neoprene seals wouldn't seal no matter what I did. So I took what I thought was a very brave step and ripped off the neoprene seals and replaced them with latex seals. Couldn't be happier w. the results. I...

    To grease or not to grease?

    When I started scuba diving one of my instructors mentioned applying a small amt of silicone grease around my dive light O-rings to create a more waterproof seal. Then I came across other divers who also applied said grease to their regulator O-rings to - presumably - create a better seal there...

    ScubaPro Knighthawk Fit / Ride Question

    My backup BCD is a large SP Knighthawk (my main is a Tusa Platina Evolution jacket-style) and I was reminded the other day why it is my backup and not my primary. When I put it on, the BC always slides backwards and downwards. When I initially put it on, the cummerbund is covering my belly...

    Transmitter Won't Work - Suunto Vytec

    I bought a Vytec w transmitter second-hand off someone who never used it. It's obvious the thing has never touched water, as there is not even a small scratch on it or any blemishes at all. I assumed that since it was clearly brand new that it must be functional. But I was wrong. :depressed...

    GoPro Content: Adding a Red or Yellow Filter / Tint To A MAKO Flat Lens

    Well the title pretty much sums it up. How can I add a filter or tint to my Mako Flat Lens? Is there a colored transparent adhesive sheet available? Also, for California diving which color would be preferable for depths of 30 to 80 ft? Thanks! :cool2:
