I'm confident that the wisdom of the crowd is the best shot I have at finding a solution to my problem. The exhaust tee for my Legend reg somehow slipped off during a dive and it's gone. The reg is fine, and if I can find a replacement exhaust tee, I'll just slip in on problem will be solved...

Anywhere I can get nitrox fills in a non-clean cylinder (i.e. just a regular scuba cylinder, not O2 clean)? I used to get this from Deep Blue in Long Beach -- they had a membrane system that avoided using pure O2 for their ntirox fills, so they could fill any cylincer -- but it seems they're...

I've dived with my family all around the Caribbean, but this January will be our first trip to Bonaire. I'm working on making sure we have all our ducks in a row, so to speak, well in advance. I was hoping those of you that have been frequently and/or recently can help clarify information on...

Does anyone have information on the status of Deep Blue Scuba in Long Beach (the shop by the pier)? Their website is only partially functional and the best I could find was that they were closing for "remodeling" back in July. They've been my go-to shop for air fills and nitrox (they have a...

I found a Gopro in Cozumel last week. I checked the dates of the videos, seems it was lost in the first half of June. If you think it could be yours, let me know: model, accessories, when first videos and last videos were made. If it's yours, I'll get it back to you intact. Edit: if you want to...

I hope this is a simple question for those of you that know. My family and I are staying and diving on GC the first week of January. It's our first time staying on the island and diving multiple days. We're diving with Ocean Frontiers on the east end. Their website currently shows the water...

I haven't been to the Yukon in a couple years, but I'm heading there in a couple weeks. I would guess the temperature at depth right now is 57ish, but a couple degrees makes a difference in my choice of suit (I have a closet full of wetsuits... no drysuit.) So the actual current temperature...

I just got home last night from a week in Coz. A few days ago I witnessed something that compelled me to share, if only because it brings to light a simple but important issue that seems to fly under the radar for a lot of people visiting the island. I was in line at Mega to buy a couple...

I wish I had a picture, but I don't. My sincere apologies. We dove at Crescent Bay this morning. Visibility was pretty typical... maybe 15 feet at best. While in a fairly open part of the shallow area of the reef, depth of around 25 feet, a 6-foot shark zoomed out of the gloom, chasing a few...

Mom and I were diving at Crescent Bay a couple weeks ago. This little guy cruised past us at a depth of about 30 feet. I wanted to share because it's the first mola I've seen... anywhere... but also because I've read that molas grow to between 4 and 8 feet in "height". This guy was about 2 feet...

Just got an email from AA. We had planned and booked our trip to Coz, for 7/28 to 8/5, months before the coronavirus became an issue, and I've been holding on to hope that it could still happen. But AA just cancelled our flight there on July 28, the afternoon flight from DFW to CZM. I'll look...

I'm getting ready to pack my bags, flying into Cozumel this Wednesday. Was debating over which wetsuit to bring and thought it would just make sense to ask those of you that are there right now... what's the water temp? Thanks! Edit: I just checked Christi's website and it shows 81 F. I was...

A couple fellow instructors recently opened a shop in my neighborhood and their rental gear includes some Oceanic BCDs with QLR3 weight pouches. The rubber handles on nearly all of the pouches have cracked and broken off. It seems that the rubber handle design is similar to the original design...

I'm aiming this question at any AL rep. I use the Look 2 mask because I'm nearsighted and the prescription lenses available for the Look 2 is the best system I've found to deal with it. I have four Look 2 masks (why so many? don't ask... but I like them.) Three of them have clear (or at least...

I have been using a D4 for 7 years and it's been great. I recently bought a new D6i and thought I'd wear both for a week of diving to see how they compared. I assumed they used similar algorithms and should match almost exactly. But unfortunately the D6i didn't live up to expectations. I made...

My mom lost her almost-new Sealife DC1400 camera today at the Rock Quarry site at Catalina Island (near Two Harbors.) I know it's a long shot, but if you happen to find it I'll make it worth your effort to get it back to her. We were at about 70 feet, in the sand. Thanks for looking...

I was taking my OW class for two dives yesterday (Sat Nov 22) at Crescent Bay, had a line with weight belt anchor and SMB as a float attached in the sand near the reef. It was sitting in place for our first dive, still there when we exited the water. We switched tanks, entered for our second...

One of my students lost a weight pouch at Crescent Bay (north) on Saturday Oct 4th. We think it might have dropped post-dive while we were floating at the surface, so it could be in the sand somewhere. It's a big (double) Aqualung surelock pouch. I'll gladly pay a reward if anyone can find it...

I live, dive and teach scuba in southern California, but I like to get away a couple times a year to warmer water. I'm in Florida right now and spent this morning diving with a shop that will remain nameless, because the purpose of this post is not to call anyone out. I have been led to believe...
