    Aggressor Red Sea

    The Aggressor has some good sales going on this summer for the Red Sea. My wife and I would love to dive it, but we are semi-concerned about safety issues in the area. We would be flying into Hurghada, I believe (wife has the plans) the day before the ship disembarks. Then after the trip we...

    Hollis F1 Bat Fins 'bad' for surface swims?

    Are you a diver or a surface swimmer? In my experience stiff paddle fins, like the F1's are very poor on the surface, but amazing underwater. The softer and/or split fins are much faster on the surface, but don't perform as well underwater, unless you are sticking to flutter kicking. The...

    Looking for new Drysuit

    Thank you. Been looking at my options, and the HDC is high on my list. I am currently wearing the 2 piece Wezzle and love it. Looked at some others but can't find a strong reason to change.

    Looking for new Drysuit

    At this point our team is not set up for true contaminated diving. But we do regular training in all other conditions and with other agencies. We are often in situations where there is high levels of abrasion.

    Looking for new Drysuit

    There are so many options on the market for suits it is hard to decide which is best. They are expensive enough that you can't just go and try them all. My first suit was an old Whites Bi-lam, which was quickly replaced by my current suit, a BARE ATR suit which I like. My wife had a BARE D6...

    If you find yourself in central Washington, check out this dive into a Missile Silo

    You say there is another diveable silo. Where is that at? I have done this one, I am reasonably local.

    FFM'ers, ABV or not?

    We have them on our Guardians and I like them, they are standard. While I have no problem donning or doffing my FFM in the water, having a dry face staring the dive is nice. The other nice thing is when using the ABV is gearing up when you live in areas where you need thick gloves. While it...

    "Check bubbles"

    The term "bubble check" is used at the start of the dive to look for leaks at all of your connections. Once you are in the water all geared up lean back in the water and have your buddy check.

    Why 45 vs 90 LPI Inflator angle

    I like the 45's better then the 90's. Maybe I am just weird.

    Storing Regulators -- Any Reason Not To Leave Hooked Up To Tank?

    For us, we wash right at the dive site. When we are done, especially in salt water, we leave the unit pressurized. If we are traveling, all the places we have gone so far have showers on the beach. We clean all of our gear, then swap on fresh tanks so we are ready to go for next dive. The...

    Storing Regulators -- Any Reason Not To Leave Hooked Up To Tank?

    I seldom remove my regs from my doubles either, because I am not "swapping tanks". When I dive singles the regs come off as you need to to change tanks.

    Kona Advice, Please

    I have been to Kona 3 times. We mostly shore dive, so can not suggest a boat. The Manta night dive is very much worth doing.
