Dang, you beat me to it! Gonna be some pretty cool stuff. Darin

Also, with wearing the strap lower on your head, try adjusting the strap looser as well. I see a lot of divers getting out of the water with mask marks, indicating tight mask straps. Just a thought. Darin

Thanks all for the replies. I hear ya'll about the SK7, that's what I'm using now. I also have an Oceanic and 2 electronic compasses, watch style. They are fine, but the electronic ones always shut off after a minute or so. Maybe I'm being too picky, but like I said, I'm used to more like...

I suppose this forum is as good as any... Does anyone know who makes a good quality, ACCURATE dive compass? I'm sick of the standard 10 deg graduated "dive" compass. I know most liquid-filled compasses would be fine for diving but I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is something specific...

Wow, good question. But I'm left with the question in the back of my mind, "Why?" There are some other alternatives that I think are better than risking it. I hope someone has an answer, I'd like to know as well! Darin

The Aqualung Breathe Free program ends July 31st. Just about a week away. By the way, the program even includes Apeks and Air Source II. So if you don't want a traditional Octo, you can go with the Air Source. Or, If you have aspirations of technical diving, or just want a outstanding reg, look...

Hmm, I can't picture this..sorry. Put the tube on the webbing then through the triglide?? Man, that'd be tough, those things fit pretty snugly on the webbing already. Or the tube somewhere else? Darin

These do have the teeth in them. I could measure them to see if there are any bigger ones out there. Hmm, back to the drawing board.

Sorry... The triglides pop through the backplate, staying firmly where they're supposed to be on the webbing, but now on the wrong side of the plate.

Ok, I'm an idiot. I've spent the last hour on the boards and countless more trying to figure this one out. :( I'm setting up my BP/W. I have everything together but here's what happens: I know from other BP/W divers that the shoulder straps should be fairly snug, but not tight, 2 or 3...

The hydro shop *should* know what tanks are ok and which aren't. As was mentioned, you can do a google search and find out the specifics. Some tanks require an eddy current test if the came from manuf. that has had some sort of issues in the past. Such as the E6498, If I remember correctly. They...

Vista point last night was an "ok" dive. Have to face the fact that summer vis is here. Very murky and a lot of crap in the water. 75 on the surface with a pronounced thermocline @ 20', dropping to the 60's. We were the only ones there, 5 of us total. Congrats to Tony for his first Lake...

Shouldn't you be studying, Garrett? ;) Darin

1) Be certain you DAN insurance is paid up. 2) Do what ever you want. (Of course this is in jest.) Darin

Welcome to the boards, you've some to the right place. I have to tell you...you're not alone. Many, many students have exactly the troubles you mention. It's really just a mental issue, most likely not a physical thing. Understand, you CAN push through it, if you really want to. It’s a...

Don't feel dumb. In fact, feel blessed that you don't know...really.
