    Feet/legs sink-Buoyancy skills-proper weighting

    I too spent much time on this lead foot problem and apparently have a pivot point thru arms eye. Being short I didn't have a lot of room to move a tank up. Switching to HP80's made a huge diffrence. Small things too can make a surprising difference and really add up. I found it best to try one...

    BTW Conscientious-Marine-Aquarist- is (was) my bible. Be sure to get that tank set up and several weeks of conditioning in before stocking.

    Hawaii Dive Stores by shore diving spots

    Big Island is fun to trek around, to a degree, Volcano Nat Park a good example. I hope LeadTurn_SD will pop in for Hilo Side at least. Kona side is not real walk about, a vehicle is considered the way to go unless say heading to a place like Volcano to stick and trek for a while. There is...

    Does anyone here have any experience with collecting tropical fish?

    I did and what loquat149 said. I wasn't diving when stocking my self caught mini reef so only by wading and tide pooling. I preferred a fine mesh net, coarser nets catch and damage the protective coating. Very little didn't thrive or, far to well. Bait type bucket w/ventilation and a battery...

    Newbie stupid question of the day . . 1st Stages

    If not enough choices to wade thru already, here is another thought J. Yoke or Din? I initially chose Yoke assured could switch to DIN (Atomic) and not long after regretted not understanding tanks better at that time. Switched to Steel tanks w/Provalve so work either way, but also switched...

    atomic M1 vs Aqualung legend LX

    I'm newesh in the gear purchasing as well as diving so keep that in mind. Also dive only warm, not particularly deep or tech type. I debated between Atomic B2 and Legend LX with no opportunity to test either. Choose the Atomic and loved it with first breath, comfort is a major factor for me and...

    Cave Diver mishap Ginnie Springs 04SEP09

    Referring back, way back, to July Springs impossible to exit…is it (and/or others like it) somehow formed one would be unable to get lips or nose into air? Too much green stuff clogging? Is it basically a drain w/o a stopper in the bottom of a pool?

    LOL I'm not all that comfortable in dry caves. I learn a lot online including what I have no practical use for. And I forget, not everyone is as curious as I am (why is that? :D ) Aloha nui loa.
