    Tips for putting on a wet wetsuit?

    Under Armor all the way. It's slick wet or dry, easily stowed in a dive bag, will cause no hassles with the touchy security a$$holes (TSA), and is easily replaced if lost.

    OMS Scalar

    I hate to resurrect this 3 year old thread, however I recently ran across one of these fins and was impressed with the design. If good reviews are given, I want to purchase a pair. Anyone have any experience with them?

    You know you're a scuba diver when...

    When pulled over, you offer the cop your c-card instead of your drivers license. You carry a mask, fins, and snorkel in your vehicle just in case. You would rather buy dive gear than buy your wife (or girlfriend) a birthday/anniversary present

    ever ruined a mask flaming it?

    Just flamed my (fairly) new mares X-Vision mask and like previously said I saw the "film" receding after the glass warmed up. FYI, the mask will get very warm to the touch so do not rinse with water immediately after flaming. As said earlier in this thread, cool water running over it will remove...

    Dive profile risks with noodling/grabbling

    Dr. Deco, I was curious about how the "yo-yo" dive profile would effect a diver when he is noodling/grabbling in a minimum of 5-6 ffw minimum depth and a maximum depth of 10-15 ffw on scuba with approximately 2-3 at minimum and 5-6 minutes maximum time at depth. I have heard that the "yo-yo"...
