I am planning to be in Iceland in July, and would like to get in a dive, specifically the "touch the two continents" dive. I have dived dry, and do not like it. I have dived wet in New England in 40*F water. Is wet an option, or is dry the only option?

Had a trip planned for this week to Europe, that we're replacing with Key West. Losing money, but at least I'll get a day of diving in. Who can anyone recommend for a dive op? Thanks for the last minute advise.

We've got a place on Nantucket for a week this summer. I couldn't find any dive ops listed for the island. Is it going to be a no dive week? I'm the only diver going, so no big deal, but wouldn't have minded a day out if possible.

Walking along a dock in Key Largo last week, we saw a guy with a Beagle puppy. The guy said he was a rescue. His name was sBeagle, he said he named him that because he was a wreck when he got him.

Just wanted to give a vote of thanks to Ocean Divers in Key Largo. We brought 8 high school students who had done their class and pool work with us to get certified in warm water/weather as part of a school program during spring break. OD has a top notch operation. Great instructors and staff...

I'm taking 8 high schoolers to FL for their checkout dives. They've completed their class and pool sessions at home. We always do shore checkouts, and no one ever tips our instructors. This will be a referral situation and they'll checkout on boat dives. Should I tip the instructors (and/or dive...

A group of us (non-divers) had an opportunity to get similar engravings done on a group buy of Benchmade knives. I figured I get a dive knife, so I'd have both a working blade as well as the memento. After the first dive with it, upon getting home and cleaning all of my gear (an hour after the...

This might be an odd question, but I'm looking for some sort of chest rig to attach to my BC for photography. Yesterday my plan was to bring a bunch of items to photograph on the sea floor. I stuck them all in my BC pockets along with my GoPro, but it was a real pain getting them in and out (I'm...

Coast Guard helicopter en route to assist unconscious Andrea Doria diver (July 24, 2017) A United States Coast Guard helicopter was en route Monday afternoon to assist an unconscious diver who had been exploring the wreckage of the Andrea Doria 45 miles southeast of Nantucket. Station Brant...

Not a diving show, but in one of the earlier episodes it shows a couple people diving the icebergs off Baffin Island. Two things stood out - first, a rather thin woman diving in what looks like about a 5mm wet suit. Second, they're diving between a berg and land, and there's about 20' of water...

I had a home made gopole that cost me about $10 to put together, and it worked fine both above and below water. It was a great project, but it finally broke, and now I'd like a "real" one. I do both land and underwater videography (neither well!). I've narrowed it down to the Evo and the Reach...

I've got a Vyper Air (not air integrated though) that seems to go through batteries very fast. I wouldn't have given it a thought, but my Suunto Core watch that goes through batteries much faster than any of my other watches too.

Chances anyone finds it are slim, chances it's someone here, even more slim :( I lost a Genesis Panview Clear mask at Stage Fort Park on Saturday.

I'd like to add an LCD screen to my GoPro 3+ Black for diving. Is the screen and door listed here all I need? Amazon.com : BacPac GoPro HERO3 LCD Touch : Underwater Camcorders : Camera & Photo

Could not find any new posts about this computer. I currently have a Vyper Air which I am happy with, and have no reason to buy a new computer but the Mantis caught my eye in an ad (that's why they do that, isn't it!). I like the uncluttered display and the large side buttons. Diving with a 7mm...

Does having the GoPro on but not taking video use as much battery as running video? Until recently, I was running the GoPro on a headband, turning it on at the beginning of the dive and taking video constantly until the end of the dive. I could always get two full dives out of a battery charge...

I'm beginning some preliminary research on the Aqualung Axiom and ProHD in anticipation of a possible purchase. I dove with someone who had an Axiom last week, and one of my dive buddies has the ProHD's predecessor, the ProQD, although in the i3 configuration (which I'm not interested in). So I...

Great manual! A lot of time, effort and knowledge went into it. It's very educational, not only learning what to do as an instructor or dive buddy, but also what the adaptive diver is faced with. I'm really looking forward to the next step. I'm waiting to do the on line portion because of the...

I have a Aqualung/Seaquest Pacifica BC and the only d-rings are the small plastic ones on the bottom of the left pocket and the top of the right pocket. I don't want to spend the money and effort sewing on d-rings, because I couldn't do it myself, and paying to have it done would not be cost...

This past weekend I just switched over from a headband mount to a (home made) GoPole, as I lost some excellent footage in Cabo from being out of frame. I made the pole 18", but found myself holding almost exclusively very close to the camera. I had made it that length thinking I could get into...
