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...

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...

As the tile says hopefully different from the normal questions. I did ready though many of the threads and did not find what I was looking for. I am 40 years old and part of a volunteer PSD team. We are a young team, in formation, and a spilt team, mostly young or old, in terms of age. For...

While reading different scuba forums I see tons of emphasis on ascending, ascent rates and safety stops. I fully know the importance of all of these things, the points being made on them almost make it sound like the type of diving I do is rare. Do most people do some form of "square"...

The wife and I just finished up our PSD course a short while back which included FFM. So instead of just doing the "class and getting the card" with ~30 min of using them we decided to do a few dives with them. We borrowed a pair of Guardians from one of our instructors for our west side trip...

We will be headed to Maui in late June (16th - 27th). We have been to Maui once before and really enjoyed it. This year I will be brining my scooter (Cuda 650) and would like to know if there are any must do scooter dives. There are 4 wrecks (we know of) that we would like to dive, St...

We are headed to the Big Island next week and I am late in doing doing some of my planning. I have been looking online at different dive shops and it seems like this very well could be my ONLY dive trip there. Is there ANY dive shop that actually caters to people who actually come to the...

I know the adage plan your dive and dive your plan which becomes even more true when you are tec diving. I am not tec yet and maybe this is something answered in the training. I am not looking for specific answers as I am not planing on doing this type of diving until we (dive buddy) get to...

On my last post it made me come up with another question. Right now for the things we want to see and get to is about 200'. Right now I don't see doing much past that. So what depths do you generally dive to? How much stuff (I know a lot) of practical things are there to see below 200'...

I know I asked a similar question a while back. I have been doing tons of research, most of which still has me totally overwhelmed. I know that most people that own brand X think best. I am trying to find a way to decide between 2 brands and probably 4 units. I am hoping to get units and get...

Basically what the title says. How do you decide what pics to keep and how many? I have really been growing in my photography the last year or so. I just started using Lightroom, and have gone to shooting fully in RAW. On my previous trip I was shooting a D70 in RAW and with iPhoto I could...

I recently got a whole new camera set up and ran into a problem. Used Aquatica D90 housing, used sync cables (one each side), new UCLS arms, used YS-250 strobes, D90 I bought new years ago. I got it all set up and bathtub "tested" it twice with no problems. I then added the camera and...

Here is a website I have been working on for a few months now. I am trying to give good locations, descriptions, and information on the less well documented dive sites of the PNW. Scuba Dive Sites Thanks for looking. Hope it is helpful to some.

I just bought a pair of YS-250 strobes so ordered a new set of arms too. After looking around I went with the UCLS arms with a 5" and 8" section. So when everything got here and set it up. One thing I noticed was the joints seem "loose". I have tightened the joints to the point right...

I just did a camera upgrade so now selling off my old stuff. I am at least the second owner, but I believe I am the 3rd owner of this set up. It is fully functional but in used shape. I have been using this set up just over a year. I tried to get good pics of any damaged areas. I used this...

I have been using a Nikon D70 in an Aquatica housing with an 8" dome port. It has dual DS-50 strobes on Ikelite 6"x5" arms with a dual sync cable. I have been using Nikon 10.5mm and 60mm lenses. I just bought a pair of YS-250 strobes with accessories the other day. Tonight I made a deal on an...

So I know this is a dive board but I have looked lots of other places online and even joined another forum about HI. The GF and I are considering moving to BI. I have a friend that has lived there for 9 years so I have a bit of information. I have also talked a bit to the DM we used last...

This summer I bought a used Aquatica D70 housing with 8" dome port complete with camera, strobes, WA lens, ect. I have used it on a few dives and then my camera had the card error so I have tried the fixes I found online and still have a "dead" camera. Now I have a couple of choices of what...

I have tried doing several searches on here and the web over the past few days and not finding what I want so time to ask. The GF and I are coming to Maui Jan 24th and staying for a week with diving being our main focus. Due to cost we plan on mostly shore diving but would like to get in a...

This is a lightly used Bare D6 Drysuit. I bought this suit this spring for my GF. This came as a used suit from a diver who bought it then decided cold water diving was not for him. He said he only had a few dive on it and the like new condition I believe it. Since then my GF did 27 dives with...
