    Wetsuit Quest

    My wife is having a very hard time finding a proper fitting wetsuit. The problem is that she has a definate hourglass shape and can't find a suit that fits her well all over. She is 5'7" 36-28-38 :D so suits are always too tight in the chest & hips or way too loose in the waist. I know...

    Nikon P2 Housing

    I was just getting ready to order the Fantasea housing for my P2, but thankfully I read the previous threads that pointed out the fact that you cannot use all of the controls with this housing. So I guess I am down to ordering the Ikelite housing. Has anybody found a good source for these...

    Where would you dive?

    I am planning on taking my wife on a trip in January 2007 for her Birthday. I will be using airline miles and hotel points so I am very limited on where we can go. So given the choice of St. Kitts & Nevis or St. Thomas & St. John (USVI) where would you dive?

    Stobe choices...

    I currently have a Canon A70 with the Canon underwater housing. I am considering buying an external strobe to use with my existing set-up, but price is a major concern. If possible, I would like to spend under $200. So far I have looked at the Epoque ES-15 DS, Sunpak G-Flash, Nikonos...

    A Prayer for the Stressed!

    Grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill today because they pissed me off. And also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today as they may...

    SAC Rates

    I was just going back through my log and computing my SAC for each dive. While doing this I noticed something rather strange that I cannot explain. That is for all of my local dives (Southern California) my SAC has been in the range of 0.90 to 0.95 (but trending down), and for the dives in...

    OK, I know that I am going to get flamed for this by somebody, but I found this earlier today and thought that it ran true... "The sea is like one of them highborn Spanish ladies: ye can love her, but ye can't trust her. One minute she's as placid as a sea-cow and yer sailin' along as easy as...
