So I am planning to modify my coldwater 5mm wetsuit boots to use with a brand new set of warm water travel fins by inserting insoles with a 2 inch heel lift to take up space that is normally occupied by my drysuit sock. I am wondering if this will affect the biomechanics of a properly executed...

I have been searching the forum and reading other threads but still don't feel like I have any idea what is the right wing for me. I have used a DSS Torus 35lb wing on a single HP100 tank and although I realize it is due in a large part to my poor trim (which I am working on), I noticed that I...

I have difficulty reaching my shoulder dump valve on my Whites Fusion drysuit. It seems to me that the wrist cuff dump would be an obvious solution. I am just curious as to why this is not a more popular option. Are there significant downsides that I am not aware of?

I found the Evo boot sizing fairly confusing and was advised to size up to accomodate the MK3 sock and drysuit material so I ended up with a size 7 EVO (I am a Women's size 6). Unfortunately, my left foot is slightly smaller than my right foot and the heel just doesn't lock into place no...

I recently noticed people "Liked" some of my posts. It showed up as a notification so that I was made aware someone had "Liked" it. Is that it? Or does it have some other function to it?

Prevailing opinion seems to be that surface intervals should always be over 60 minutes and if a dive op provides any time less then 60 minutes then you should take your business elsewhere. I would like to know which dive ops in Cozumel actually have an official 60 minute surface interval...

"Realistically on a Suunto with 5 minutes showing (2 mins mandatory + 3 mins safety stop) you're not in much danger at all. You can probably even go across that by another 5 mins at depth and while the Suunto will probably be telling you 10+ mins of deco to do, you'd be fine blowing it off if...

Attention: I am seeking opinions from divers who have first hand experience with Suunto computers only please! (For those who do not dive with Suuntos and do not know about the problems with the over-conservative algorithms that penalize repetitive dives with short surface intervals, please...

I borrowed a Sola 600 Divelight for a night dive last week which, of course, I loved and, as predicted, it is likely leading to an expensive purchase now. As already stated, the Sola is compact, ergonomic, and great for use in recreational diving. I would ideally like to be able to use it for...

We are planning a spring break hoilday with our 13 & 14 y/0 Jr Open Water divers. We have taken them diving on our own before in the Cayman islands and Bonaire but it was a lot of work for us. This time we want to relax and enjoy as well so we are thinking about wither an all inclusive dive...

My 11 yr old daughter is starting her Jr OW certification course this week. What are the basic concepts my husband and I should try to reinforce? I would appreciate anyone who has had experience with young children to give me their 2 psi worth. Thanks in advance!

Deleted - see questions posted on "How much weight do you use?" thread.

I have a couple of questions to those who are more experienced in weighting issues: Scenario #2: BARE 3 mm full wetsuit with AL80 - 7 lbs I have lost some weight (maybe about 5 lbs?) and now my wetsuit is filling up during the dive with water. I do find I feel kind of floaty at the end of...

I have already searched the board for AIR2 so no need to go there... (I bought it before I discovered Scubaboard, OK?). Ideally, I would like to have a signalling device for both underwater and on the surface. It appears there isn't a good single product for both purposes and someone on...

I just checked the Suunto owner's manual and it states the No Fly Time is based on the Residual Nitrogen calculations. I averaged 3 dives each day usually around 60 minutes bottom time on EANx 32%. There were no mandatory decompression dives. My computer gave me a No Fly Time of around 24 hrs...

My husband ordered an INON D2000 strobe three weeks ago from California Digital Diving for our trip to Bonaire. They told him it would take 5 business days. My husband has called them 5 times since then and each time they suggested to wait a couple more business days and if it doesn't arrive...

Greetings to all from British Columbia, Canada! In preparation for our trip to Bonaire, I stumbled across your discussion board. I am very impressed with the information shared by more experienced divers as well as the way it is conveyed. So, having never before posted a thread to any...
