So while thinking about my old regulators as well as considering a BP/W at some point, I remembered reading about the old Dacor HUB and did a Google search. Not many results. Seems it wasn't The Future Of Dive Gear that it was hyped to be, and even though I never owned one and am really not...

Hi everyone This is literally my first post in years, during which much has happened but unfortunately not much of it involved diving. I'm looking to change that soon, but I need to go through my old sack of gear and determine which of it is still serviceable. I hope some of you will be able to...

hey all Surfacing once again after a VERY long time... I've just moved for the first time in 5 1/2 years (none of which was spent diving, unfortunately) and in the process I've naturally unearthed my cache of gear. One piece which I'd all but forgotten about is my old trusty cylinder, an AL90...

greets, everyone I've decided to pop up and let anyone who remembers me (if there are any) that I'm still alive and still interested, if lately *very* inactive, in the sport. With regards to diving, as with a lot of my interests, the last few years have not been too kind as I've been working...

hey all Question for you: I was perusing the accessories at Leisure Pro and noticed that they had the kind of generic black and clear silicone mouthpieces, as well as the SeaCure one. Now, the SeaCure product description mentions that they have three different styles to fit different types of...

hey everyone After another long absence, I'm back! Well, at least for a few minutes... :-) So, I moved to NJ from Ohio a few months ago, and I'm looking forward to trying to get some more advanced training and such so I can get in some local diving (once I have some finances, at least). I...

hey all Don't remember if I posted this or not as it's been quite a while since I've been on SB...anywho, I will be moving to Roselle Park, NJ in a little over a month and I'm hoping to get involved with a club or at least other divers in the area, and to try to jump start my kinda moribund...

greetings all It has been some time since I've posted on Scubaboard, but I wanted to check in, and tonight I find myself in a forum I haven't ever been in...the nutshell story is that my gf (a Roselle Park native) and I will be moving from Columbus, OH (my hometown) back to the Roselle...

hey all First post here in a while... I'm in a position to inherit my office's Oly C-5000--finally bringing me into the digital age as concens photography--and I'm already thinking about setting it up for uw use, probably with a PT-019 housing and a wide-angle lens. Now, I already have an...

hey all I wanted to post a quick hello here since I haven't posted anything substantial in a good long time, but yes, I'm still alive. There have been rather significant adjustments to my lifestyle in the past year which have left me without much time or spare money for a lot of my leisure...

hey all I've seen other divers carry these around with them, and I'm starting to think it might be smart to make up one of my own. I'd be interested in hearing what yall put in yours. Off the top of my head here are my ideas: spare tank O-rings spare fin straps spare mask strap spare...

hey all I've been meaning to ask this for a while...I am personally very partial to photos featuring divers interacting with the undersea environment, sea life, etc. Admittedly I was brainwashed early from admiring the photos in National Geographic and, later, Skin Diver. Stephen Frink comes...

hey all Dumb question for this week: How many of you use a different camera for topside and underwater, and what kind is each one? Realistically, I can see a good P&S (ie an Oly C-7070) in an OEM type housing and a third-party strobe for underwater stuff, and a DSLR coexisting with all...

hey all I'm currently trying to get my house back in order, see. One challenge is to find, extract and collate my AOW materials from the rubbish heap my house has become, so that I can maybe try to take it next month, Dog willing. The problem is that they're scattered all over the place and...

hey all Latest pointless post: I went to the photo gallery at www.finphoto.com to look at all the pictures of all the people diving like I want to be right now (sigh) and I noticed the following: You can tell the certified divers from the Discover Scuba people by the amount of neoprene...

hey all Back on here after an adventurous week visiting my gf in New Jersey (net result of which is that she came back with me, like, for good :) ). Pointless question for this week is about the unfortunate experience of being in a green quarry, looking down at your wrist, and finding that...

Finally, FINALLY, got wet this past weekend. I met two dive club buddies on Saturday morning at the Twin Quarries in Circleville, with a bunch of new gear in tow ready to be tested in actual water. Not the least of which was my Stratos BCD, complete with the retrofit front strap. I wore it over...

hey all I've run into a couple of others here on SB, I think, who like me are musicians, but I forget who they are (bad memory). Thus this thread. Who's out there? I'd love to talk music, gear, recording, etc. along with the diving stuff. For my part, I play in two bands, plus I do my own...

hey all Thought just occurred to me: Consider that some of us camcorder owners might need to go with housings that have no external control for white balance. Now, since the MO for doing auto-WB is to point the camera at a white card, or something white, IS IT POSSIBLE to pre-adjust the WB...

I'm curious about how others here have run smack into this and how they dealt with it. For my part I've gotten seasick twice, both on dive boats. The second time, down in Florida the same day I was supposed to board the Blackbeard's boat, was by far the worse of the two. We had about six or...
