    Flu Season and Flu Shots - any "scuba specific" thoughts or concerns?

    The better question is why not get a flu shot? Scared of preservatives? I give only preservative free shots now and I'm sure many other places do as well. Scared of getting "sick?" Flu shot is an inactivated virus, meaning you literally cannot get the flu from it. However your immune system...

    Any wireless wrist computer have an OLED screen & also dub as a watch?

    my advice would be to get the Atom. Its a great every day watch and sweet dive computer. Personally I went with the VT3 because I do like the larger display and wear a regular watch every day. Oceanic makes some good computers, I wouldn't let lack of an OLED keep you from getting one. Maybe in...

    Southport, NC - Diver missing?

    I was having a picnic at southport, nc which is a small "island" located a short ferry ride from Wilmington, NC. While we were there we noticed some panicked people at a nearby pier and then police showed up and were walking down the beach. When an officer walked by I asked him what was going on...

    Problem with Scubapro Seawing Nova

    Your location suffers from the fabled "Nova Fish." This fish incorrectly identifies the nova's fin as a baby stingray and begins bite aggressively at the joint. This leads to a rapid decline in durability compared to other dive sites.

    Looking of adjustable scuba quality fin that does require booties

    Hot shot would be my pick. no bootie required and the flexible strap would give you a bigger window of divers you can fit with each size.

    i really hate to make this post... but if it were DIN I would be all over it :( free bump to the top though! To anyone looking, this is a really good price for an incredible reg.

    Any buoyancy issues with the Nova Seawing?

    i am positive that mine are negative with my boots (no pun intended). Ankle weights would be an option if they are bothering you but I prefer to be feet up and the novas are the only fin that has gotten me close to that.

    How to prepare an Atomic Ultraclear Lens

    I flamed mine thoroughly and it never fogs... it does leak, however (not due to flaming).

    Scubapro Seawing Nova - Performance Review

    mine still seem negative with my boots, they certainly aren't the liftbags you are making them sound like. Mustve been pretty rough on them to break them. You left out a couple points about them: 1) bungie straps are amazing. I can slap my fins on in less than a second. 2) they are...

    Titan LX question

    Does the Titan LX have the same first stage as the Mikron?? They look similar in size and was wondering because this would make it an amazing travel reg.

    Mask suggestion for a big forehead

    Try the atomic aquatics frameless mask on. If your LDS has it then youre golden. This is the first mask I've used that didnt leave a mark on the middle of my forehead as you describe.

    Bare masks?

    I have the Bare Trio C mask. Basically a 1-lenser on the front with 2 side lenses. You can see it on their website. It never had any fogging problems or leaking problems for me. I just recently switched to the Atomic Aquatics frameless mask though. I would recommend the Trio C if you got a...

    ScubaPro Seawing Nova durability/warranty replacement

    I get told that my black ones are easily recognizable in the water and thats how people tell its me. I love mine I can't imagine how I would break one but scubapro stands behind them 100% and will replace them if anything were to happen, which is nice to know. I have a little less than 20...

    Oceanic VT3 computer is brain damaged.

    For recreational diving its mainly useless since normal mode is so much more helpful in that situation. Gauge mode, like you are alluding to, is for when you are diving outside of the bounds of rec diving (trimix, deco, etc) and there are more useful computers for that or bottom timers that...

    Recommendations for great RENTAL BCD

    I'd check out the AquaLung Wave. Has optional integrated weights. The Cressi Aquaride has integrated weights also for a basic BCD. The Wave is nice since it has the optional weights so you don't have to get them all with integrated in case you want to work on trim or cater to diver preference...

    Atomic Regs..who has them? Likes/dislikes?

    I'll chime in and say I don't own an atomic reg and I think the biggest barrier to owning one is knowing which one to purchase and where to get it serviced (2nd is true for any reg though). Here is my non-owner opinion. I mean they have many different models and they all seem to have their...

    What type of fins do use and what do you like about them?

    in before Nova haters. I use Scubapro Seawing Novas. What I like: bungie strap > spring straps. I think they look sweet, especially underwater. Comfort is the best I've tried. Oh and the best part: THEY ARE FASTTTTTT. Cheaper than other high end fins
