I am looking to buy a second Shearwater Perdix. Does not have to be AI.

I am looking into getting my first O2 analyzer and was wondering if there are any that I should stay away from. I have been looking at Oxycheq and the new Divesoft Solo analyzer. My plan is to get into trimix dives in the next 5 years, so I have been thinking of getting an analyzer that does...

I am curious as to how many people dive sidemount in the Great Lakes. I have been dabbling in sidemount diving for 6 months now and while it is very nice when I shore dive, I have found it a little more cumbersome on a boat vs. a twinset. While I still plan on honing my sidemount diving I am not...

When diving with a redundant computer, do you dive with the exact one as your primary or is your secondary a different make and/or model? I dive with a redundant computer and it is my old computer. I normally keep it set on basic dive mode as I am not doing real deep or technical dives right now.

I have noticed here lately that after a dive in which I wear my contacts one of my eyes has a hard time focusing. I have never had the issue before while wearing my rx mask and glasses. Just curious as to if anyone else has experienced this and what solutions you have found. Thanks.

I am wondering what everyone uses as insulation in their dry gloves. I have a thin liner in mine right now but after about 30 minutes in 48* water my fingers are cold. I have a thicker pair of gloves that fit in my dry gloves that I am going to try, but wondering if there is anything else out...

There is a chance that I may be relocating to the Cincinnati area from Arkansas. What are some of the good diving locations in that area. I am kind of spoiled of where I am at right now in Arkansas. Thanks

Next year a few of us from my local dive club are planning a trip to Lake Huron to do some diving. Most of what we are looking at doing are between 60-130 feet in and around the Thunder Bay area. We currently dive the lakes here in Arkansas were vis is at best 20' and that is normally around 80...

I am working on a couple year plan for diving and I keep coming back to this crossroad of whether or not to go down the professional side and become and instructor. I like learning new skills, techniques, etc. that go along with diving and like helping out divers/people in general where I can...

I am looking into purchasing a drysuit this next year and I am wanting to test out different ones to see which one fits the best. I know DUI use to do demo days but they have since quit. Is there a website that has demo days listed on it or is this something that I would have to contact each...

This past weekend I got in my first dives in 5 years. I have been out of the water so long because of school and work and I am now finally in a position that I can get back into diving and man has it been great. Over the last month I have been in the pool refining my skills again and taking a...

I currently have a wrist mount dive computer that I use as a depth gauge. I have been thinking lately to get an analog depth gauge as a backup so if something goes wrong I have it to fall back on. All the ones that I have found so far are on a pressure gauge. I want one that I can clip off or...

Went today to dive Lake Ouachita and when we got there the gate leading up to the dam site was closed. Sign said the gate would close at 5 and we were there well before then. First time that I have been on a "dry" dive. Oh well, looks like I'll have to wait a little bit longer before I get wet...

I am looking for a first stage that I can just attach a low pressure hose to. I do a lot of Off-Road trail riding and air down my tires and I have seen other people use their tanks to air up after a ride. I want my own setup for when I am out alone with out other people who I can use their air...

I've been reading on here lately that many people have seem to be having issues with CO in their tanks after a full and diving on them. I was wondering, has this become a more recent problem or has it always been there and not brought out before. I know some places are just looking for your...

Took my gear out of my pack last week and saw that one of my fins is bent a little bit. Got into the pool with them and did not notice any change in kicking with them. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can straighten the fin back out again.

I have been thinking about getting a dive helmet and mounting lights on it but not too sure about it. The helmet will just be used in open water conditions with low vis. I was wondering how many other people have created this setup and how practical it is for open water diving. Have also been...

I have been thinking about investing into a dry suit in the next year or so, but not sure if I should or not. I currently dive with a 7/5 with 3mm hood and gloves and I am quite comfortable in the water with them on in water to 55-60. I am moving down south and need a lighter wetsuit so I dont...

I know a lot of people are concerned about diving with sharks in the ocean and everything else that lurks out there as well. I was wondering if anyone has ever encountered an alligator on a dive? If you did what did you do and what would you advise to people who would possibly encounter one...

I am selling a Genesis Phantom BCD. It is a jacket inflate, 15-20 dives on it (fresh, salt). Selling it because I bought another BCD. PM if you are interested. $200 or obo
