Cool thanks I'll try it. Soon as I find the directions online :)

Hey divers!! Tried searching for an answer to my question but keep finding articles about leakin mask but it's mostly about bad fits. This is my question. My girlfriend uses an Oceanic ion 4 with removable lenses. She had not used her mask for 3 months but it was cleaned and stored...

45 views, Does any one know?? :).

Wow.... I had no idea. I knew from reading this board that an Octo combo would require a longer primary for safety but I didn't know any of these details you guys brought up.. I'm definatley re reading this thread and taking notes.. Thanks a ton guys I got more than I expected :)

Hi, still learning about gear since this is the first time I purchase all of my gear plus my girlfriends gear. We both switched to Inflator/Octo combo's and have read here on these boards that we should switch out our primary second stage hose in case of an OOA emergency our buddy will have a...

Hi guys, an gals :) First time buying gear, so buying it second hand from friends untill know exactly what I want. Mostly bought oceanic gear from them as thats what most of them use. Before any item hits the water I take it to the local Oceanic Certified tech who inspects and services...

I agree, I love my Probe LX, bit heavy, but its comfy and I have done a few boat dives, and never had any issues. Great bc ( but then again I have only tried 2 others as rentals so maybe Im biased cause its my first BC :)

Thanks guys this is great advice. I have only seen cressi mares and oceanic gear as this is what most of the Lds's around my home sell. Most of my gear is oceanic because that's what the Divemaster who is teaching me wears so i followed suit . I am going to start asking other divers about their...

Thanks for all the great info. I didnt know about any of those brands. I have found that mares has a lime/neon green in some of their items. I bought some green Mares Raptors split fins, a wenoka blunt time knife with green trimmings, and thinking about buying the Mares X-Vision Liquidskin...

Hello! I have been looking around the net for cosumer reports on scuba gear, or top ten list but most list I found seemed to be baised depending on what the website is promoting. Does any one know a more or less unbaised site that shows top ten list of the best equipment per type? I...

I recently purchased my scuba gear, and had decided that I wanted to get it in green. I had no idea how hard it would be. Seems Mares is the only one who makes green gear from the recognized brands ( other then the mask and snorkles you find in Kmart). Green is a very common color, so I...

Hi, I'm a new diver who just picked it up again after 6 years since I got my license. In the last few months I have logged 40 dives, and this list is pretty much what I have picked up in this time. I live and work in Puerto Rico and have found that there is a ton of resources to be found...

I love diving with Casa Del Mar, very friendly Staff and their boats are in top shape. It seems that lots of dive masters will go through them when planning trips. I dont know how much they charge the dive masters for the spots on the boat but I have seen the same trip being offered by...

There is actualy a ton of options for you as for diving in PR. Lots of groups going out durring the week ends and some durring the week. Casa Del Mar boat dives( Leaving from Fajardo, hour and a half drive from San Juan going slow) Normaly cost around $130-150 and includes 3 dives close to...

New diver, only 40 logged dives Almost all dives have been done using my Octo/Inflator combo ( Oceanic XS Air 2) Before each dive I have ran a quick OOA drill with my diving buddy to ensure we understand and know how to use the gear. I have even practiced full dives breathing out of the...

I would like to test out your new device, I saw 5 lionfish today in my regular dive spot, each time I go I keep seeing more and more, they are not skittish either you can swim right next to them and they wont move , I pushed one today with my flashlight before it actualy budged. I dive in Puerto...

Couv thanks for the explaination, I read up on the site and think I now understand how it works thanks to your information and the other 2 posters info. in summery, My Oceanic octo/inflators have two factors, the corrugated hose, that can fit Aeris or any similiar or smaller sixed hose by...

I dont own a tank, but i did purchase my regulators. I cant rinse them with pressure so what I do is use the little rubber cap that covers my 1st stage and submurge the regulators over night in fresh water. I have been told by the LDS that soaking the regulators over night is the correct...

Thank you both for the information I will check it out. I haven't bought a scubapro air 2 yet but I will see if can test out the size at a lds with my oceanic inflator hose (corrugated hose?). Again thanks

Thank you for the answer. So that means I will have to buy my gf a oceanic or aeries bcd to use the xs air 2 I have for her. I really like the scuba pro air 2 system, is there any way to attach it to my oceanic probe lx bcd?
