    Kraken hydra 8000

    I just ordered this and was wondering if anyone else has one? The appearance of the remote port and burst port- it appears to have a crack or maybe a seam through the middle? I contacted their customer service twice with no reply yet.. if anyone has input, I’d appreciate it.

    fishing in Bonaire

    Hi Guys, I was just wondering if anyone has done any fishing charters while in Bonaire? I'm leaving on Friday and will be there for a week. I'm not 100% sure I want to take the day away from diving but I do love fishing too. So, a couple questions: 1. What are the good charter companies? 2...

    Favorite Hood

    I'm buying a hood, and I figure it's probably a good idea to try them on, but lots of places stick with one or two brands so it would be difficult to try many of them on. I've heard complaints that some hoods are very constrictive on the neck, and I really don't like that- even just my wetsuit...

    LeisurePro

    Does anyone know if there is any type of discount at LeisurePro like there is on ScubaToys for being a member here? Just curious because I'm about to place a relatively big order.. Last time I placed a big order, it was on scubatoys and I didn't know about the discount at that point, so I just...

    I want to dive in Lake Margarethe in Grayling, Michigan, but there does not appear to be anywhere closer than an hour away to get tanks filled.. I was wondering if anyone from the area knows of somewhere closer than Cadillac, among others that are easily found on google but an hour or more...

    Aluminum bigger than 80?

    I'm guessing there is probably a thread that mentions this, but I'm apparently not very good at the search function (is there any way to skip to the page in a very long thread that actually has the key words you searched? Sorry, another topic, I know...) Anyway, I was wondering if aluminum...

    Pinnacle Merino-Elastiprene 10mm spine pad..

    So I just got a brand new pinnacle merino-elastiprene 5/4 wetsuit and I had to say, I don't much like the 10mm spine pad which I guess is supposed to eliminate water seeping through the zipper. Does it really have to be that thick to accomplish that? I don't like the feel of it pressing into my...

    ever ruined a mask flaming it?

    Hi, I just got a new mask and want to prepare it for my first dive. I was told by my dive instructor that new masks should be scrubbed with toothpaste, which I did with my previous mask and it seemed to work fine. I've read on many threads that scrubbing may not get all the coating and that...

    camera weights?

    I have the canon S90 with the canon housing, which I have not yet used.. Weights were not included, but after reading the manual, it recommends purchasing the weights. I was wondering if this is necessary? Does the camera get in the way if it's a little buoyant or what's the problem? Does...

    What's with the weather?

    I'm traveling to Provo on March 20, so I've been keeping an eye on the extended forecasts and there have been lots of rainy days! All the sites I have seen say Turks and Caicos has 350 days of sunshine a year, but with the current forecast, they're pretty much already at their 15 rainy days for...

    deep see manta boot or pinnacle apex 6mm boot?

    I don't know of anywhere I can try both on, but any suggestions on which is more comfortable? I've figured out all my gear but my boots/fins and I'm looking for suggestions on either or both. I'm trying to spend minimally since I am shelling out quite a chunk on everything else, but I would...

    Used gear transactions

    I was just curious what method people usually use to do transactions when buying and selling used gear here or other sites aside from ebay using paypal? Has anyone ever found something on Craigslist that would need to be shipped because it's a little too far to drive? They have disclaimers...

    Aqualung technisub micro vs mares Liquidskin?

    I was just wondering if anyone has tried both of these masks and which they prefer? I was looking at a thread about perfect gear- the things you would definitely replace with the same item if something happened and these two masks seemed to come up frequently.

    Air tank rental on Provo T&C?

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if anywhere on Provo will rent out tanks without booking dives with them? I'd like to do a couple dives off a boat, but it seems there are also some nice reefs right off shore I'd like to explore. Any other general suggestions for my upcoming trip would be...
