    Bare Velocity Review

    We tried out our new Bare Velocity 3/2 wetsuits with Hydrostretch last evening and I thought I'd give a review. We ordered the Bare brand since they offer a TALL version in various sizes for men and women to fit those of athletic and slim builds. MightyScuba has the MedTall in the...

    Difficult to breathe upward

    Is this normal to have a very hard time trying to draw air through your second stage when you look straight up at the surface? This is the only time it requires effort to draw a breath on my second stage. Happens every time though. I am using a new Zeagle Flathead VI. My husband has the exact...

    So peaceful!

    MightyScuba and i just came back from diving Windy Point this evening (Friday) and there was maybe two other diving pairs there. It was so peaceful and quiet and the water though low felt perfect. We just got in one dive since we wanted to be out before the sun set. We were able to pack up while...

    Fin comparison

    I just returned from my LDS where I tried out 4 different fins in their pool to find the pair that was kindest to my ankles, fit my feet (flat;no instep;6.5womens shoe), and ease of donning and doffing. Here's what I found. The Mares Volos were very neat looking but sadly they were the...

    fins for dislocated ankles

    I'm a new diver (and petite) and I have bought and used my Cressi Spacefrog XS fins to find that they dislocate my ankles. I have EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) so all my joints are very loose and easy to dislocate. I was wondering if any of the newer fins (split, force fin, other?) would be...
