Going on a trip tomorrow and went to test the HID and put in new batteries. It won't start. So I buy new Duracells thinking cheap batteries were to blame. Still won't start. I can see a spark in the bulb when I turn it on but it only lasts a second then it goes out. Is this a sign the bulb...

Just received a pair of Seasoft Sunray 3mm boots. Looks like a solid boot. The problem I'm discovering is that now my fin pocket isn't big enough. I'm a size 14 and already have XL fins, so going up a fin size isn't an option. I was using the Henderson Gold Core hard soled 3mm boot which...

I keep getting multiple message alerts to the same message. Would this have anything to do with another post about the servers being synced?

Anyone familiar with a live aboard called Easy Goin' out of Lauderdale? I believe the company name is Paradise Charters.

On another thread someone was asking if the LDS I'm tied to has an O2 clean system for nitrox fills. Normally we use a blender box (at least that's what I call it) for normal mixes or we can partial pressure blend. I've heard about O2 clean tanks and compatible regs, etc, but never an O2 clean...

I was told that Henderson is discontinuing their size 14 hard sole, 3 mm dive bootie. That was the only boot to date that I've found that fits well and is comfortable. Any ideas on who makes larger, hard sole boots. Thanks, David

My Scubapro Smart Com w/quick disconnect needs a replacement hose. Any idea where I can find one? Thanks, David

My default settings are to receive an email telling me that someone has replied to a thread I posted on. Occassionally I'll post down below in the MOF thread, which is fine until I get dozens of emails telling me that someone else has posted. I tried turning this option off for that particular...

A while back there was some discussion about the dangers of diving deep and/or cold with a wetsuit and steel. I've searched and can't find the thread. Could someone point me in the right direction or summarize the dangers of the scenario. Thanks, David

After a search I didn't really come up with anything. I was curious if there's a basic guide as to how much buoyancy a particular thickness/size of wet suit would have. The only consistent way I could think of was measuring suits to see how much a particular suit weighs vs. how much weight is...

When I move my cursor over a thread title I get a little balloon to preview the thread. Is there any way to increase the time that little window displays? Thanks, David

Our local Club Aquarius chapter seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. However, it occurred to me that there may be local divers here who don't know the club exists. We typically meet twice a month. Once at a local establishment to have some appetizers, etc. The second meeting is usually a...

This looked like a good place to put this. Congrats to the son. He graduated Marine Corp boot camp this morning at Parris Island. Thought I'd share the news. David

Anybody ever tried one of these. Beam of Light Technologies Shopping Cart I'm playing with the idea of one of these for a gadget, NOT a signal device or light source.

Before this goes any further, this has nothing to do with whether or not you like PADI or if you agree/disagree with the way they teach, so this ISN'T meant to be an opportunity to bash PADI. That being said, here goes. This past weekend I was in Fl doing a drift snorkel down Rainbow River...

I heard these were a newly released, top secret item at DEMA a few weeks ago. Anybody had a chance to field test them yet? Aqua Lung: First to Dive - Slingshot

As most of you already know, PST went through a reorganization in the past several months. Being concerned about the exemption on the tanks I checked the DOT website and noticed that it is due to expire at the end of August 2007. I called PST and after a few tries got a real person in the...

Just got back from my first trip to Cancun, and while there got some diving in. The dive operator we went to seems to operate alot different than what I'm currently used to and I'm wondering if this is normal for the area. The story is we leave the dock on the bay side and head for the ocean...

Thought I'd share my newest hobby. Gives me something to do on those long surface intervals. It's also better on gas for those drives back and forth to the dive shop.;)
