Curious, has anyone seen or had any experience with Dive Rite's new Slimline SPG or Halcyon's new SPG? If so I would really appreciate hearing your opinion in terms of quality, accuracy and overall impressions. Thanks! :) Lisa

Thank you all very much for your replies!! I have read with much interest all of your replies! I have been using a regular pullout handle bag with wheels but recently snapped the handle off when the case started to fall and I grabbed the handle...at $50 to replace it did not seem worth it...

I was thinking about getting this case to travel with, but I have read some people posting that the airlines are getting more strict/uptight about their 62" dimension limitations (L+W+H). Knowing that the 1650's dimensions are 64"...has anyone experienced or know if this case creates...

Thank you James! My only problem withthe Dive Rite reel relates to the amount of #36 line I can put on their safety reel (90 ft.). Their primary reel (red one) is just a little larger than I generally need. Regarding the Halycyon, I have heard great things. I only wonder about it for...

Thanks guys for your replies! James, you ask why not #24...the reason is primarily strength and abrasion "protection" for crawling through wrecks. I like the idea of something a little stronger than #24 when towing buoys in currents. I carry a spool as a backup and am familiar with the...

Hi- I am really struggleing on a reel question and would really apreciate some help. I am looking for a multi-purpose reel for wreck diving, towing buoys and shooting up-lines with my safety buoy (for deco and safety stops). I need atleast 130-150 ft and would like at least a #36 line...

...but have not seen any conclusions reached. I've been looking into alternatives to Vincencia. I contacted PADI and was told they accept Insurance Management Services, Marsh, Gale Smith and of course Vincenia. IMS says they don't take PADI members, Marsh says they don't accept individuals...

I have been wrestling with whether to get a Suunto Vytec or a Uwatec SmartPro and would really appreciate hearing people's opinions of, and experiences with, these two computers. :confused: I dive nitrox, deep (deco)and cold. I like Vytec's ability to switch gas % underwater (can this be...

Thank you all for your replies! I agree, it is a great program and for a variety of reasons am looking forward to taking it. It really is true too what some of you have said about carefully choosing the CD, as I have seen first hand very different approaches to the course. There is one CD...

I'm a PADI AI and have been thinking about becoming an Instructor for the past few years. The one thing that has prevented me is cost. In looking into it I have been amazed at the difference in course costs. In the NY City area, +/- $1250 seems to be about average...I saw a place Upstate...

The PST HP sound great!...but I have heard some say that the increased pressure is tough on regs...that it might increase wear to seat and other components. Is this true? Do HP steel cylinders have any negative affect on equipment? This concern has me leanig towards PST's LP Pro series as...

I have been agonizing over ScubaPro's Twin Jets and Atomic's Split Fins...I don't have any place to go to try them both to compare. Has anyone seen or better yet even. tried the two? I would *really* appreciate hearing your experiences to know which you prefer and why. Thank you so...

HI Rick! Each of those regs you mention is gonna have a following. I have had several Apeks and love them! Know what you mean about the occasional wet breathing, annoying but not much of a problem. A friend of mine has the new Zeagle DSIV and really likes it...she had the older...

When did this happen? That is great... What happens if you violate it, is it similar to Suunto in that it goes into gauge mode? Thanks for the update! Lisa :)

How'd you do that? :confused: Thanks again! Lisa

Nice! A lot of favorable posts for the Split Fins! Are you all using the stiffer black fins or the "softer" gray, blue or yellow? Any one compared them with the Tusa Expert Zoom or Atomic Aquatics (or even Apollo Biofins)? Thanks, Lisa

I really appreciate hearing all your responses...please don't stop! :) (I check back several times a day..) The sense I get then is that a wrist computer is preferable to hose integrated . 2 more questions if I may... With the Vytec (or Vyper) would there be any benefit to keeping...

I would really appreciate your advice as I can see benefits in all directions! I bought a Suunto Cobra from my LDS a little while back and have not used it yet (I've been diving quite a bit, but not with this computer). I've been diving for about 10 years and have been thinking about...
