Thank you for the responses! What are your thoughts on getting a d4i in lieu of the d6i to save a few hundred? Do you think they will be replacing these units soon with newer ones?

Got it. Well I really want air integration and a smaller form factor. So suunto it is. I don't need the d9 because I'm not really going to be mixing gasses. I am debating now between the d6i and the d4i. I think the only really difference is the compass (digital). However I already have a...

Anyone else?

Good afternoon. I wanted to open the floor on the best computer dive watch you can buy for around $1,000 to $1,500. I'm about to buy a Suunto D6i for $1,000 including transmitter (about $400 off list) and I wanted to see if there is anything else I should be looking at in that price range...

Hey there! I have a Suunto Cobra 3, but because I am paranoid, I would like some redundancy. I would prefer a wrist-computer and I really like the Suunto graphics and conservative algorithms. I am able to get the D6i for $1,000 (WITH the new transmitter with the led light). This is about $400...

Yes it is an MR12. But is it worth it? For $100 I get an 11 year old entry-level reg, that has some corrosion. For $100 more I get a brand new entry-level reg. I am just worried about cheaping-out with my wife.

Good afternoon, My wife, who has not dove in about 7 years, would like to get back into diving. I found her Mares Nikos reg and Mares Voltrex octo, both from around 2001. These were lower-end right? I brought them in to be serviced, and my store was going to charge me the customary $50 for the...

Anyone go over to the bridge today? Thinking about diving it tomorrow.

Anyone?

Hey there - I bought an Aqua Lung Axiom (non I3) in size M/L. I just returned it to my shop and got the M instead because the M/L was too big. Anyhow, my shop just had me keep the power inflator connected to my M/L, and she put it on my M. She also had me keep my inflator hose as well. Are the...

Well I called another location of the same scuba shop, and he said that he thinks that the M and M/L use the same size inflator, but (might) be different between the small and the Large/Extra Large. But I think that that the inflator might be a standard size being that the catalogue only shows...

Interesting, I did not know that the inflators were standard sized.

Hey guys, I bought an Aqua Lung Axiom (non I3) in size M/L. I just returned it to my shop and got the M instead because the M/L was too big. Anyhow, my shop just had me keep the power inflator connected to my M/L, and she put it on my M. She also had me keep my inflator hose as well. Are the...

How low should the BC's ride on your hips? Hmm. I just don't know what the problem is. I tried on a Medium at the store and it felt very similar (obviously a little bit smaller). I tried pushing the weight further into my weight pouches on my medium/large axiom, but I still felt the weight on...

Good afternoon. I have decided to get a Steel 100. I am sick of my aluminum 80, and even more sick of having to wear so much in weight. I have decided on a HP steel 100, as I think it is the best of all worlds. My dealer is selling a new Faber HP steel 100 for $350, and the same price for the...

Guys, I think you have figured out this issue. First off, I am NOT wearing a wetsuit. In Miami, during this time of the year, we don't need to dive with a wetsuit, so I am only wearing a bathing suit. And, more importantly, I think the size of my Axiom might be too large. I am using a M/L...

Newbie dive question: what is a hood?

I meant with respect to the ascent alarm. I only heard (barely) the beep underwater when I forced it to beep by going in and out of dive mode.

I really have heard no beeps underwater, but maybe I haven't ascended too fast yet.

Anyone else?
