Ok I have to get new booties because mine have air conditioning now;). Part of the life of an OWSI in Hawaii who works mostly from shore. So I will try the new boot with the fins.

I do dive a hard sole bootie most of the time but I also have soft sole booties for off a boat so I would prefer something that would be good for both. The hard sole booties are xcel 6.5mm and are comparable to a seasports titanium

It seems that the scubapro jet fins are out for me since they smallest size they make is med and that's fits a size 7-8 foot. I wear a 5. Any suggestions on alternatives? I imagine it would be much the same with the Aqualung one size fits all design.

LOL Scott. I thought that perhaps the neoprene strap was slipping because it didn't have the ratchet points that the silicone one has. Didn't work but it very well could be the facial expression I'll have to test that theory.

I am an instructor on the island of Oahu and I'm struggling with my mask. I bought it about a year ago and I love the soft skirt and it feels good on my face. However, when I turn and look up (like looking at the top of a cave) it leaks around the top. I am trying to avoid buying 10 different...

Aloha. I am a DM living in Hawaii. I frequently take friends out diving and I'm looking for some new sites. I've kinda been there done that on alot of the more popular ones and I have people asking for something different. I have done the following: Haleiwa Trench Jameson's Wall Three...

Well...unfortunately it's a stress fracture in my foot. I had it confirmed on monday with the results of a bone scan. I may have done it when I rolled an ankle at Shark's Cove. Rest is the best medicine. Currently I'm battling myself on whether or not I can continue to dive while it heals...

FYI, My husband uses the Neo and he's ok with it. He also has the CDX first stage that has DVT and that's ok for him too. The Neo does not have the swivel. I think it depends on how much you dive how important it would be. I usually log about 5-6 tanks a week so for me it's important since...

Thanks for the tips. I did cut the ends since I'm one of those smaller mouths that gags on it. I like the way it feels in my mouth so far. I did manage to remold it a bit and there are tiny holes still but the reality is that I'm not going to be chomping on it. I can bite down if I wish but...

I bought a sea cure today and came home and molded it. The first time I did it I bit down too hard and bit almost all the way through it. So I tried it again after it cooled. After the second time I have small holes near the back. Is that ok? Is there any way to "reset" the thing so that I...

Oceanic Delta 4 with the FDX 10 first stage. The delta 4 has a swivel that cuts down on jaw fatique by moving with you. The FDX 10 has the dry valve technology. I love this reg and I gave up other things so that I could get it.

Unfortunately this is not an unfamiliar situation to me. However, I don't really have to guts to post the errors I've made. So Kudos to you since I'm sure you will learn from the experience.

pickens- that's a good point. I bought new booties about the time this started. They don't feel tight though and I've had the same problem with both pair. I have one set of cheap ones and one pair of xcel 6.5mm. The xcel are the newer but I actually had more pain after using the cheapo ones...

I have a weird question. I have one foot that is injured and this has come about since I started diving. I only started diving in Jan and for a while I was fine. I would always get cramps in the arches of my feet on the surface but once I was down I was always fine. In the last 6 weeks or...

Hello everyone. I am getting ready for my DM exam and could use an old exams or practice I can get. If you wouldn't mind sharing my email is aristigal@hotmail.com TIA

TY will do. I bought it at the dive shop where I go all the time so I'll go back there first. If not Intova is here in Honolulu and I can go that route too. I have been impressed with their service. They replaced my Intova CP-9 when I told them it flooded on it's second use. Very good...

I have a tovatec compact torch just for use in smaller spaces in the day time. I guess you could say it's my primary light as I carry it with my at all times. I have only pulled it out to use it a few times. It worked well the first couple of times. Then, one day I turned it on and it lit...

I purchased an intova cp-9 just this week. I read the manual before using anything to assure it was set up correctly. I greased the o-ring and was ready to go. I used it on one dive and today was to be my second dive. The first dive it kept turning off so I replaced the memory card with a...
