California lobster season will open on 10/1. Good luck everyone.

Thank you for the creating a great product, and thanks for the countless number of times you helped and given me advice to tweak my BC so it's just right.

I'm looking for a source where I can purchase a few tapered bonded sealing washers made of marine grade stainless steel, aluminum, or brass. The local hardware store only carries sealing washer made of steel zinc, which rust pretty easily. It would be of great help if someone can advise what...

I'll be replacing the bands on my Riffe C-3XS soon. I recall hearing somewhere that the only difference between the Riffe black and clear bands was the color. I just can't remember the source of this information. Can someone confirm or refute. If all things are equal, I want to order the...

The inflator hose and dump valve on my Venture Wing has fused shut! When I attempted to force the valve open, I ended up screwing off the hardware on the wing that the valves screw on to... Soaking the wing overnight did not loosen up the valve... I would appreciate if anyone has any...

I use a DSS backplate in combination with a Dive Rite Venture wing. I currently just use the camband slots on the backplate to attach the tank. I want to add a STA, but I do not want to add any more weight to my rig because my trim is perfectly balanced as is. Moreover, I would prefer to keep...

Is Scubapro phasing out the G250(HP) series second stage? I've noticed that the G250HP second stages are no longer listed on the online catalogs of Scubapro's European sites. The G250HP is currently listed on the North/South American, Asian, Australian sites, but will S-Pro phase this reg out...

I'll post updated dive conditions of Redondo Beach on this thread everytime I dive there. Please add reports if you have a report newer than mine. (I was thinking about creating similar threads for a few other spots I dive too...) Spot: Redondo Beach Date: 12/5 Entry...

Does any have the GPS coordinates of the Foss 125 (aka Cleo Street Barge) in Laguna Beach?

I've blown out the fuse on my Light Cannon on my last 2 dives. The light went out after 37 minutes into my dive on Friday, then 32 minutes into my dive on the following night. An inspection of the light revealed a blown fuse each time. But, the Light Cannon was completely hosed after the...

I've encountered freakishly good viz on 6/28 (Sat) at H********s (in Palos Vereds) between 10AM~noon. The waves were 1.5 ft max, and the viz was in the 30~40ft range. If you dive PV, you know that viz this good is extremely rare. What blows me away is the fact that viz was in the 5~8ft range...

What is the difference between a speargun with an open muzzle, and one that is not. Advantages? Disadvantages?

I own a Canon S110 Digital Elph (got it in Dec 2001). I wanted to take a few underwater photos so I started to look around for a housing for my camera. The only two I've found, are no good: 1) The one made by Ikelite is gigantic, and costs more than the camera does ($500 just for the housing)...

Divers, especially those with Rescue Diver cert. and above, do you dive with a pocket mask in your BC pocket? Should I carry one too?

Any idea how much negative bouyancy the S-Pro Jet fins and the Apollo Bio Pros have? If I'm switching from positively buoyant fins, will I actually need to shed a pound (450g) of lead, and adjust my trim?
