I have bought a wetsuit and gloves from them without aa problem. This was about two years ago.

My son uses liner socks, they are thin nylon socks used under hiking socks. They are a big help in getting your suit on, and you can leave them on your feet through the dive. A good pair runs $10.00-$12.00 dollars, but they last forever. I bought two pairs in '92 and we are still using them. If...

I bought one through SimplyScuba in the UK. It started to read the wrong depth and I sent it back. I called after not hearing anything for 3 weeks. They said they had refused delivery because there was VAT due on it. I waited 2 more weeks for it to be returned. Then I put in a claim with the US...

YES. I always spend a little more time looking over my shoulder (at least under my tube) after shark week. Mind you I have seen black tip and grey reef sharks, leopard, and nurse sharks while scuba diving and it was great. BUT seeing the guys put out the seal cut-outs behind the boat to get...

We dove Grestle Cove at Salt Point last week and it was the best dive I have done here in Northern Ca. Mind you I have not dove here that much, a few times at Monterey and Point Lobos. We never got below 25 feet but the amount of life stuck in that little cove is amazing!

John, I am sure the suit will be as good as it sounds. I have read good things before about Liquidfit on the board here. My son is 12 and at 5’7" and 152 lbs. he fits nicely into a men’s medium (at least this summer). We both use Scubapro .5/2.5mm hooded vests. My LDS talked me into trying...

John, It is always good to hear about a company that is giving good service. Sounds like you have solved your problem. I’m curious, what is the price range for their suits? (My son now wears men’s sizes so we get him "off the rack" suits now that fit fine.) Bill

Take a look at these suits. (About half the price of the Henderson.) My son and I both dive the Bare arctic full suits. We use 2.5 mm hooded vests with these. The coldest we have dove with these is 48 degrees and we both stayed warm...

I think the $530.00 figure is way optimistic if you add the comparable weight systems to the BP/Wing. I agree with you about the technical diving part, except I don’t see myself doing any technical diving ever. My Knighthawk shows it can use twin 12L tanks (I think that would be about 80 cubic...

Kemo racer, if you are still following this thread and not turned off by the little spat going on, I would disagree with the statement about the weight belt. When I dive cold water (49 degrees at Point Lobos last week is cold to me) I split my weight between the bc and a weight belt. This works...

I dive a Knighthawk and I really like it. One thing that I have read repeatedly is the price difference between BP/Wing and the Knighthawk. The Knighthawk is definitely less expensive. If you compare apples to apples that is. Take the price of basic BP/Wing ($555.00 for the 36# pioneer @ 5th...

If you are looking for a new suit check out the Bare line of suits. Here is a link. Scroll down to the Arctic full suit. It is a ways down the page. $164.00 http://www.diverswholesale.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?user_id=id&database=catalogue.exm&template=usa/cat-usa.html&1_option=3&1=Wetsuits...

Socks work great but use thin nylon socks, like liner socks for hiking, not thick cotton socks. :) Bill

First let me say that I realize that statistics can be manipulated to prove just about any point. That said I would like to know how one would interpret these: PADI issued a total of 3,3813254 certifications as of 1990 PADI issued a total of 10,151,841 certifications as of 2000 DAN reported...

A week at the Occidental Grand. This was our first trip to Cozumel. The hotel itself was immaculate. Rooms were good-sized and very clean. Large bathrooms and the beds were pretty comfortable. The food was good, but not great. A very large variety, but towards the end of the week it got...

We stayed at the Occidental Grand the 13th – 20th of April. While we did not use the kids program, we saw the kids who were in the program doing activities with one of the employees everyday. It looked as if they were having a good time. The leader was very enthusiastic and did a great job...

Did you go to the Occidental Grand? If so could you give a report. We will be there spring break and would appreciate any info. Thanks, Bill

One other item should be pointed out. The MK25 has two HP ports. If you want to add an AI computer transmitter along with an analog gauge you will not be able to do it. I have the MK16 and love it, but in the future I would like to get a transmitter for my Vytec and will need to upgrade my...

How strong a current would it take to depress the cover of either? Has this happened to anyone? Bill

I have the 7mm supra and love it. The coldest I have dove it is 52 degrees and was fine for two dives. (Used a 7mm hood.)
