Hey all, Here's my dilema. Some years ago I purchased a Light and Motion Tetra housing kit for wifes Oly. 5050. Housing has been bulletproof and regular servicing (last in 2009) has kept it so. We picked up two more 5050s as people upgraded. Going to Cobalt Coast end of May, so she calls for...

Hi, I have a new Zena in small, the LP hose that came with it was 28". The hose I was using on my Seaquest Diva was 22". Short of getting a tank and assembling everything does the 28" length seem right? Thanks, Mrs. Scubabear

Hi, We'll be diving for a week off Kona in June. I'm seriously allergic to sea wasp stings. Often pass on the night dives when prevelent. Carry eppy. pen, antihisit, etc., etc. Last hit was a near fatal one, from a little carribean bugger. So, are wasps common to these waters? Would love to...

Hi, The wife and I are diving Kona next June. I usally schlep 30# of soft weights with us. Since the wt. limit is 50# vs our normal 70# per bag , and we'll have need for more clothes than usual since we'll be doing a 7 day cruise after our week of diving. I was thinking of just buying 30# of...

Hi All, Going on the Kona aggressor next summer. They do some lava tube dives. Should these dives be treated as cavern/cave dives ? Thanks

I was moving pictures from a recent T&C trip from 3 512mb CF cards into a file folder on my computer. I moved two cards before I realized some pics were overwriting others. Ones with same numbers on one card ( p1010043 ) would overwrite a pic. with same number from another card. Is there any...

Several dive travel guides suggest bringing antibiotics. I was wondering if there is a broad spectrum antibiotic that would work for ear infection, stomach paracites, infected cuts etc., and other maladies that might befall a diver on a liveaboard or in remote locations. Not pennicillin or any...

Well, the wife just won her first photo contest. First prize digital, shot it with a 5050 in a tetra housing w nikonos strobe. Now the only question is how to get there from here. Miami to Palau is one long haul, so much here in the Carribean, would hate to travel that far and be disappointed...

OK, this is about as non-diving related as it gets. Does anyone know a way to change the time interval between pictures on the win XP home edition fax viewer ? The simplest method available would be welcomed. Thanks

Got a question on filling aluminum tanks in the So. Fla./ Keys area. The LDS I use has a policy of not filling AL tanks 15yrs. or older, regardless of V.I.P. or Hydro status. I'm aware there was catastropic tank failure of some older AL tanks some years back. I also have firsthand knowledge...

Help ! I have three nieces coming to visit soon, ages are 4, 10, and 12. The only snorkling they've done is in pools. Looking for some sites close to shore with decent viz. and some fish life. Other than the swim area in Pennekamp Park none come to mind. Any suggestions ? Been diving over 30...

:11: Saw this on the USAtoday.com site, travel section. If this happens I fear we've seen the end of pristine West Caicos, and the start of an ecosystems decline. :-( Humans are like rats, overpopulate an area and F' it up! I'll just have to make a point to return and dive as often as...
