    Water Temps in Nassau?

    Has anyone been diving in Nassau in the last week or so? My girlfriend and I are headed there late next week and she is trying to determine if she should bring her 3mm or 5mm wetsuit. She gets cold fast.

    Pony Bottles & Regulators

    I'm relatively new to pony bottles. I have a question regarding storage. Currently, I have been leaving the regulator on the pony and the 2nd stage attached as it would be if I was using it. Are there any issues doing it this way? Should I remove the regulator until I'm actually using it?

    How old is too old to get certified?

    So, a casual acquaintance of mine mentioned last year that he was interested in getting certified. I told him that I'd be glad to go to the LDS and make some introductions (hey, I'm a good ambassador to the sport!) and even go to a discover scuba with him. So, fast forward to this morning. I...

    How many dives to be a PADI scuba instructor?

    So, I had lunch a few weeks ago with some new friends who had gone to Thailand to become dive instructors. They both had less than 200 dives, did all of their dives in a summer to become instructors and had never really dove anywhere but Thailand. They had only used dive shop equipment and...

    You're going to hate me but: What is the best regulator for me to get for 2015?

    I typically do between 60 and 100 dives per year. I've had 3 failures with my current zeagle rig. Thankfully none of the failures were life-threatening, but they were disconcerting enough to realize that its time to move on. I'm quite convinced its trying to kill me. Of course my regulator...

    Who here has actually been evacuated with DAN?

    Most of my diving now is typically someplace other than the US with access to less than desirable medical care. Although, I know none of us plan on ever using our DAN insurance, I'm wondering what the experience has been like for those of you who have been evacuated from a foreign country. Are...

    Diverite wing failure

    Before I bring this up to the manufacturer directly, I wanted to share what happened to me this past weekend and get some opinions.

    Finally hit dive 100 and dove it naked!

    I was in Roatan this past week and hit my 100th dive on Tuesday. Of course, I decided I HAD to uphold the tradition of doing your 100th dive naked. Couple of things I learned... - Avoid telling everyone you will be doing your dive naked because they will absolutely decide to sneak up on you...

    Air Integrated Dive Computers and SPG's

    I recently purchased an air integrated wireless dive computer with the idea that I would remove my SPG and it would lighten the amount of crap I lug around the world and also streamline my setup for diving. One thing that has concerned me a little bit is what happens if the my dive computer...

    Problem with Look 2 Lens holders

    I have had a recurring problem with the Look 2 masks. The center piece that holds the lenses in place keeps coming off. My LDS tells me this isn't a part that can be ordered. I'm not on my second mask missing that piece and I'm pretty unhappy about it. I don't want to switch to a different...

    How to remove buildup from artifacts

    I recovered some porcelain tile from a wreck that has quite a bit of build up on it...about 100 years worth. I've had people suggest using acid to get rid of the buildup but I'm concerned about ruining the tile. I'm currently trying the toilet bowl technique but peeing on it doesn't seem to be...
