I can't remember how to put the blasted thing in gauge mode. It's driving me nuts! Please enlighten me.

Hey Everyone, I haven't been around for a while and wanted to say hello. Still diving and I'm still a rabid Cozaholic! Hope to be around more...

Location: Cozumel Mexico, depth: around 30-40 feet Size: Blenny sized. :)

I've noticed the wingnuts on my Dive Rite STA tend to get loose. I was diving Saturday and lost a wingnut. The wing stayed on the bolt until I surfaced and then the bottom of the wing flipped up and I had no idea what was happening. Can anyone recommend an alternative wingnut which will stay...

Location: Paradise Reef, Cozumel, hiding in a hole in a boulder star coral Secretary Blenny?

Anyone have any experience with them? https://aquatoyz.com/ I just ordered 4 OMS SS butterfly snapbolts and received order number 008! Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in getting my order.

I've been wearing size M Jets with a 3 mm tropical bootie and they caused blisters on the top of my toes. I bought a pair of size L and put small spring straps on them and they flop around with 7 mm Tusa hard sole bootie. My foot flops around in the bootie as well. How can I make them work...

I spent a good part of the morning trying to book a 4 day trip for the latter part of September or 1st part of October and couldn't find a return flight in anything other than 1st class. I had to transfer miles to get it booked. I have never seen the filights so full!

What's the deal until the end of the year? I'm thinking about taking my kids in November, but they don't have passports. Are photo IDs and birth certificates still acceptable?

I realize that 30/30 is the standard gas, but AG has written about 25/25 and it seems to me that it would be a lot easier to blend. It seems you could just fill a cylinder with 25% He and take to a shop that banks 32% and have it topped off. That would mean 1 less cylinder and less worry...

Ladies, would you hesitate to take a technical diving course because of the equipment requirements including double cylinders and deco and/or stage bottles. I'm not posting it in the Women's forum because I think this issue is of importance to all divers. I've been debating this point with...

What's your personal limit on depth? We need a lively debate to break in the new puppy. :D

I ordered a couple of stainless steel harness buckes from our very own Green Maneleshi and I must say I was surprised by the quality of the buckles. The stainless steel is much heavier than any buckle I've seen on a harness and the Robson buckle is designed with a fixed D-ring. I chose the...

Because without some nice tunes from Classic Vinyl to distract me I would spend more time cussing this site going down at the moment I hit the post button. Just as I've worked myself up into a good righteous indignation and compose a missive - BOOM - nothing. Pretty soon all arguments will...

Here's a rather strange thing I discovered while taking Extended Range is that if you are diving with a team, you tend to follow the team leader without realizing it. I was hovering at 120 feet (which was supposed to be the max depth of this dive) and my instructor was hovering facing me. I...

I boat diving a few days ago in Cozumel and had my primary regulator shut down at about 60 feet on descent. I had set up my gear and turned on both my valves (single tank with H-valve) and double checked everything before getting into my harness. I never turn the valve back half a twist and...

I stole this from another thread. I didn't train with PADI so I never used it. And I've never seen anyone else use it. I carry a couple of IANTD tables printed on vinyl and rolled up in my pocket. Is the RDP really a useful gizmo? To me, the RDP is sort of like a slide rule and not...

I want to compile a list of everything unpleasant or bad that can happen to you during a dive and how to deal with it before it turns ugly. I'll start off with: Loss of Mask. You can either have a backup mask or practice no mask skills.

Do you tie your SMB or lift bag to a reel or a spool?

Just got my copy of Scuba today and saw the Reader's Ratings for Cozumel Dive Ops. Unbelievable! Where's Blue XT or Liquid Blue? What about Living Underwater? I cannot believe that Aqua Safari came in 2nd. I do agree with Aldora (since that is my main dive operation). But Dive House? Ewwww.
