    Does anybody have the Viking Pro Tech?

    Hi, I'm thinking very seriously about going with Viking and was wondering if anyone had the Pro Tech? Both my LDS owner and open water and advanced open water instructors recommend Vikings. At his store he has a sample swath of the Pro Tech and I like how flexible and stretchy it is while...

    A Drysuit is a Drysuit is a Drysuit

    This thread is helping alot. I'm about to go dry in a few weeks (after another paycheck or two) and been having trouble deciding. My LDS owner, and two of my instructors (open water and advanced) all recommend vulcanized rubber. The viking protech to be exact. Durability, ease of repair, and...

I'm still "in charge" of gathering info about the diving there because my girlfriend will be getting lessons while we are there. Her parent's want to know which...

    Which is better Ibiza or Malaga

    So apparently now were going to the canary islands. Have to do my research all over again. I looks like the water might be a bit warmer though. In the 60's f. Warmer than it gets where I live...

    Some FL questions...

    Yeah thats some of my biggest concerns.. Up here on the coast of NH you don't have to worry about that. But now I'll need to worry about sharks, stinging things, and gators when I'm in freshwater. ---------- Post added April 6th, 2013 at 09:40 AM ---------- Your not helping!! :D

    Some FL questions...

    Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll just have to hope for the best. I see your thing at the bottom saying come yak diving with us. That intrigues me. I have spent countless hours in a sea kayak and have been thinking about getting a sit on top. would that greatly improve my dive-ability? Like...

    Some FL questions...

    Thank you guys for all the replies. The big thing now is I'm starting to get cold feet about moving there because of the lack of shore diving. Up here in New England I try to dive 2+ times a week. At only $7 a tank fill, thats not bad. But chartering a boat every weekend is certainly not...

    Did you move for Scuba?

    Captain Sinbad, I appreciate your post but I must say Im newer to diving and wanted to move south well before diving. My other sport is skydiving and stopping my sports for winter is not my cup of tea. Sure you can dive NE in the winter but its cold cold cold. Not to mention I've never seen...

    AquaLung Calypso for cold water

    FM1520, I apologize for my attitude however I don't agree with the mainstream attitude towards LDS's. You are right to each his own. ams511 thanks for the info. I still haven't purchased a new reg as I am still doing the research.

    AquaLung Calypso for cold water

    Bob, I agree 100% with your point of doing my research on all available regs. And I am slowly doing so. And your also right about quality not being related to its cost, but only to a point. Scarcity, profit margin, and man/retail agreements aren't going to drive the price up by two or three...

    AquaLung Calypso for cold water

    FM1520 Sorry I live in a small town where people tend to take care of one and another. I'm sorry that my LDS is owned by a local guy who has served the community for 15 years. I'm sorry that I want to support his business for being such a nice honest guy. I'm sorry that you probly buy all...

    AquaLung Calypso for cold water

    I apologize for the delay in responding, too busy racking up dives! Thanks for the response.. I'd like to get the chance to defend my LDS owner.. He did not know that I wanted to be able to do winter diving. I stopped in the very next day after he sold me the calypso to tell him how my dive...

    AquaLung Calypso for cold water

    Hi everyone, new diver here with a regulator question... So for my first regulator I ended up getting the Aqualung calypso set up and I was wondering about its potential for cold water use. After buying it my LDS owner told me that if I want to do some winter diving (seacoast NH, so pretty cold)...
