This e-mail has been sent to SeaLife USA and also to the italian importer... After several e-mails it seems like that you are not interested in this matter so I will inform other divers to stay away from your products. Reminder, no reply received so far...

I stayed at the Oman Diving Centre and I will never return there... 1) Logistic side of the diving center absolutely not professional... 2) They had one boat confiscated, they rented some boats not designed for diving and it was a PITA to jump from them and return on board... 3) Beach seems...

This is what I found on the GUE web site: QUOTE If the bottom clip is placed too low or is affixed too tightly, then the bottom of the bottle will be pulled higher, and will form a wedge with the front of the bottle. Cylinders should float horizontally and sit parallel to a prone diver...

Using button gauge on decompression tanks can be considered DIR ??? Ciao Erik Il Rosso

After a lot of thinking I finally bought my 1st & 2nd stage deco regulators... I ended up selecting 2 Scubapro MK2+ & R295... 1) I had them for little money 2) I had them with different color covers and with 100 cm hoses 3) 1st stage is a workhorse and super simple 4) When the deco...

I logged 9 dives with my new dry suit and new Jet Fins... Things are going better, I am able to stay horizontal and my new fins help me in keeping my feet low, I put a little bit more air into the suit and I am much warmer while my movements are not so restricted... I must say that I am...

I've got nearly 300 dives under my belt and nearly all of them with a semi dry suit... I bought a custom made trilam dry suit more or less 30 days ago and after 5 dives I cannot say that I love it... At the beginning I had problems with floaty feet and my old fins did not fit right so I...

I am going to buy a bottle for EAN50 but I do not know what to buy... I am considering an Al S80 or an Al 7 Litres... I did the course with an S80 and although I am a newbie I noticed the when full with 200 bars of Nitrox 50 it was a little bit heavy and I started to forget about it when...

I gave a phone call to my technical instructor and he informed me that after reviewing all the material in his hands I passed the "Technical Decompression" class... This is my first step into the "Tech" world and I am very very happy... Next step (next year ???) will be Normoxic Trimix...

I have just returned from the Maldives where I discovered that the S70 can do great things in video mode... Yes, there as some limitations but as far as I am concerned the quality I obtained from it was absolutely satisfying... I filmed with natural light, sometimes using AWB and sometimes...

My SPG is always clipped to my left hip D ring but when using deco bottles does the SPG remain in the same position or is it better to move it to the left chest D ring ??? No problems at all in clipping and unclipping it without any deco bottles but I am afraid that when using deco bottles...

When diving with two deco bottles the first one is fixed at left chest D ring and left hip D ring but I do not know how/where the second bottle will be fixed and I also would like to know how to swap bottles (divided in steps) when I have to switch from Nitrox 50 to Oxygen... My instructor...

What a day !!! The dive was pretty simple, 10 minutes at -40 metres, resurfacing and switching to O2 at -6 metres, my instructor wanted to see if I could follow the specified run time... No troubles at all with narcosis, I was completly focused and resurfacing was pretty good up to -21...

I have just signed in for a Decompression Air class (max 50 metres) and hope everything will turn out Ok... It is my first step in the so called "Tech World" and I must admit I feel a little bit "Strange"... I still remember when a couple of years ago I said :"I will NEVER go deeper than...
