    Warm water thermal protection

    I just checked Hawaii water temps, and they appear to be in the 80's. Someone with real knowledge correct me if I'm wrong. If that is right I would just dive a rash-guard based on the fact you said you are cold water tolerant. I am also, and that is what I dive for dives as long as an hour in...

    Curaçao solo diving with cert

    I've read that many operations on the island have a no solo policy. Does anyone know if that includes divers who are solo certified? Also if I did go, how limited would my shore diving experience be? And does anyone know of operations on the island who will rent tanks and a pony to a solo...

    Bonaire

    Plan to Solo Dive in Bonaire the beginning of September. I have read that Bonaire is Solo Diver friendly. I'm solo diver certified with appropriate redundant equipment. Would appreciate any dive shops, dive spots, or dive boats that I should avoid as a solo diver!

    Worthington AL40 vs Luxfer AL40 for Deco/Stage

    Does anyone have any opinion on whether one is better than the other at any specific task. They both are very similar in dimensions. They also have the same weight difference from full to 500psi. However the Worthington starts heavier, and finishes heavier. -1.5 to +1.0. While Luxfer is -.7 to...

    Razor 2.0 or 2.1 or SMS75

    Went to the LDS and they had a Razor 2.0 for 669 dollars. If I wanted the additional butt pouch it was 700 dollars. I looked online and saw that the Razor 2.1 is now out, but on back-order. My question is do you think this is a good deal, or should I hold out for the 2.1. Are the improvements...

    Couple questions on a pony bottle for bail out

    I've been on the fence in regards to a pony vs doubles with isolated manifold, and decided I would join this conversation. I agree that the pony seems like more of an inconvenience, but it appears to offer complete redundancy. The only scenario I can see where this would fail, would be a...

    i passed my PADI open water cert, now what?

    I see nothing wrong with taking AOW right after OW. Assuming it is PADI AOW; this is the only AOW I have taken, it does nothing other than give you a few more supervised dives to make you more confident. If you wait and take it later it will feel like a joke. However taking PADI AOW directly...

    Secondary Air Source

    Long story shorty- I usually end up diving on charter boats getting paired with an insta-buddy. These insta-buddies vary in skill, intelligence, and maturity greatly. Because of this I have decided that my next purchase is going to be a secondary air supply to make myself more self reliant. I...
