    What is the perfect SCUBA car?

    Cant say enough good things about the Honda Element. Hated them before I started dating my wife who had one and now after many dive trips and numerous other outdoor activities I absolutely love them. Inexpensive and durable.

    Thoughts on Athena BC ?

    My wife has around 30 dives on hers and absolutely loves it. Well made and very comfortable.

    Why not Fundies?

    I will never be a tech diver but I am convinced that I would indeed be a better diver and would be more comfortable in the water having learned DIR skills. The price of the instruction is more than reasonable and the ability to analyze techniques and mistakes on video is very compelling. What...

    Seeking an excellent Portland shop

    Under Water Works Daves classes are fantastic. For training I would HIGHLY reccomend them. More organized, comprehensive and well run than any class I have ever seen. Underwaterworks carries great gear but appear to be a primarily aqua lung/USD/Seaquest shop for BCD's and regs so they...

    Music while underwater

    Ive been looking at this one. Earphone designe allows for use under a hood and doesnt interfere with ear clearing. https://secure3.nexternal.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=iriver&BusType=BtoC&Count1=739864528&Count2=657004952 My only question would be if it would be too distracting...

    Atomic Aquatics M1 vs. B2

    I am not nitrox certified so I could be completely off on this but... I am making the same choice and was told by a couple different shops that if I was planning on ever doing nitrox that the M1 was the way to go as it could be switched between air and nitrox up to 50%. Something about the...

    What’s your favorite pair of fins and why?

    Atomic Splits, stiff but dont fatigue me and provide very good manueverability and great accelleration when needed

    Positive Side Effects From Scuba Diving?

    Last weekend while driving home from a dive, my fiance brought up the same question. She has been working hard on bouyancy and breath control and says she can take a full breath MUCH easier now. We both came to the conclusion that diving leads to an improvement in ease of breathing and while...

    Fins too aggressive...

    I found the Atomics to be a very nice balance of feel (stiffness) while still being easy to kick. They have great control. I can scull and frog in them and never have any issues with cramping or fatigue. The foot pockets are super comfy and the strap system great. I really really like em...

    Women's BC Hunt!

    Mermare, My fiance had the same issue with her Diva LX. It pulled back on her shoulders rather than down and the hard pack ended up hitting just above her kidneys rather than fitting snugly in the lumbar where it was designed. It was a very well made BC but seemed designed for a very short...

    Decisions decisions

    Thanks for the feedback, I kinda figured I couldnt go wrong with any of these. Is it common for shops to have demos of high end regs?

    Decisions decisions

    I am researching regs for my fiance and I, and think ive pretty well narrowed it down to three choices and am interested in opinions and experience anyone has had with these particular models. We are looking at having these around for a long time so experience in dealing with the customer...
