I know this is an older thread, but I felt the need to share-- I dove two wrecks out of Milwaukee yesterday, bottom temp was 67-69 at both. Absolutely insane.

I saw it today. Why? Because it's summer, and summer means ridiculous shark movies. The technical errors (dropping to 47 meters without equalizing, going back up similarly quickly, no issues with temperature or time, etc.) are obvious, and have already been enumerated. But it's a stupid...

Hey all, A while back, I saw a guy who had a fairly neat, presumably homemade rack in the back of his SUV. It essentially held his doubles upright, so when he got to a dive site, he could just sit on the back edge of the cargo area, put on the straps, and pick up the tanks. I just bought my...

Wow, thank you everybody--so, so much, I truly appreciate the comments and advice. Obviously, there's a lot to consider going forward, but here are a few notes on some of the questions people have raised: - Buoyancy-wise, I feel like I've been doing fairly well. Certainly when I first...

I just got a 2012 7mm Elastek a few months ago. It's still stretching out a bit, but I love it overall.

Thanks for all the helpful responses, everyone. You brought up some things i hadn't considered, like whether or not an LDS charges for servicing an item. (To be honest, I just assumed they would have charged me whether I had bought items from them or not.) And I agree, I would never treat an...

Hi all, I recently got my AOW and have been gradually purchasing dive equipment. I've got the basic items you would need for AOW, along with a 7mm suit and a Lavacore suit (diving mainly in Lake Michigan locally). For a birthday present, I got about $400 to an online retailer named after a...
