    BP/W Question regarding DIR/GUE

    Is a Halcyon Infinity considered DIR/GUE complaint since it is a single continuous piece of webbing that makes up the harness? I had a bi- level spinal fuson where the cinch ability of the rig would most likely make it easier for me to work with the rig out of water and if doffing gear when...

    Seaventures Rig

    What is it like living on board that seaventure rig? How do you do the jetty diving from the rig? Is there a reef below it you can dive while not on a dive boat. Sipidan really interests me because of the large fish schools and the price.

    S560 and G260

    I am looking for a reg for my 12 year old son and would like to know the differences between the g260 and s560 regs. They are very close price so I am having a difficult time deciding. He is a recreational diver who normally gets around 50 dives per year.

    Los Rocas

    I would like some opinions from anyone who has stayed here. I understand this is not a luxurry resort which is fine by me. How was the diving? Any shore diving here? Are additional boat dives available per day besides the 2 package ones? Nightlife?

    What destination to get 25+ dives in a week?

    I am looking for destinations to get 25+ dives in for a week long trip at a dive resort other than Bonaire, Cozumel, and Roatan. Right now a liveaboard is not in the budget. Cost effective places with entertaining shore dives would be a plus to me as we travel and dive as a family.

    Fins for Cozumel

    I am taking the family to Coumel for the first time in November. Since it is drify diving will any type of fins suffice? Example, my wife has splits that arent great in current and she would rather make it through at least on more trip before I buy new ones for her.
