    Trip Report: BonaireFUN/Wannadive, 17 Jan - 1 Feb 2014

    This was my first trip to Bonaire and my first ever warm-water diving vacation. All of my previous dives had been in Canada's chillier, murkier waters. I went with a big group of about 17, with some staying for only 1 week and others staying for the full two weeks. With the flight changes...

    Random, probably slightly stupid questions about Bonaire

    Hi All. I'm going to Bonaire with a group - but we're meeting up in Newark. They've had meetings and stuff, which I've missed, and the one I did attend really left a ton of questions. So I have some ridiculous questions and I hope that no one is too judgy. :/ We are staying at BonaireFun...

    Whites Fusion: buoyancy differences between Bullet & Sport skins?

    So, I am a new owner of a Whites Fusion and I got it right before leaving Ottawa. I had three opportunities to dive it. I also picked up a new bp/w (Halcyon eclipse, stainless steel, with weighted STA) Dive 1 & 2: drysuit course at a local quarry. The shop had screwed everything up - so they...

    "Allowed" to dive

    I just had a pleasant evening turn into a rather annoying disagreement with a PADI DM who has dove and worked in several Latin American countries and New Zealand. At home, he DMs in Canada. Basically - he told me that as an AOW it wasn't "legal" for me to dive without DM supervision and that...

    Truk as an AOW diver

    Underwater housing for Canon A720IS (WP-DC16)

    Hi All I'm looking for an underwater housing for the old Canon A720IS digital camera I have kicking around. I don't want to upgrade to a new model of camera at the moment as I'm on a fairly tight budget due to imminent "retirement" from the military. I found it on the Canon estore for $285...

    Dry suit - if money was no object!

    Hi all! I'm in the market for a dry suit and for a reason I don't want to disclose here, I'm not worried about the costs. I do need some advice, however. I live in Ontario and dive actively in the St-Lawrence. Temperatures are around 75 at the height of summer, tapering down to below...

    Mares M1 - sticky button

    I have a Mares M1 I picked up used - I got a great price on it, but the "mode" button sticks and only works intermittently. Is this something that can be fixed? Does anyone have a suggestion? It's seen action in both fresh and salt water (and quite a bit of action at that) but ever since I...

    Sticky Button on Mares M1

    Hi All I have a sticky "mode" button on my mares m1. I bought it used from someone who was giving up diving (I bought a lot of his old gear, at a steal!) and it has definitely seen a lot of dives. Does anyone know if this is something that can easily be repaired? Should I leave it...
