I have the same harness but on a standard back plate and 45# and 60# wings for my doubles in cold water. I really like the buckles on the harness; my wife tore her shoulder trying to get of the "cooler" one continuous piece harness. I've also had shoulder issues so sometimes it's easier to...

Almost new Mares Sirius dive computer. Bought this summer and only used pool and quarry. Works great, asking $700. Transmitter not included. Sam Centreville, VA

I own a Perdix AI, Petrel 3, and a Teric. Unless you’re planning on free diving which only Teric can do, I would go with Perdix or Petrel. I find their larger screen much easier to see over the Teric. After having several another manufacturers built in batteries die suddenly on me (and having...

Not as exotic as all the previous but we’ve been to Pompano Beach to Ft Lauderdale, FL 5 times using RCI. Can get a timeshare there short notice just about every week of the year. It being 1 days drive from home also makes it appealing. Wife and I can pack a ton of toys for the week.

Beyond just jacking up ears, practicing OOAs put you at higher risk for DCS. The dive profile OW instructors do is horrible. DCS is not an exact science so you may take an "unearned hit" practicing OOA instead of doing a normal safe ascent. You may get by 99 times ok but when the stars align...

With poor planning or poor decision making redundant air does NOT sidestep CESA. My wife had a classmate empty three tanks on their tech dives.

Dove the jetties this week while down there on work trip. Aim for slack tide or wear gloves and go hand over hand when you get out of the kiddie pool. I started in the kiddie pool but a pair of divers also went on the ocean side of the beach. Did not see much but it was not slack tide and...

Thanks for posting this, I having same issue and thought my CX-2 was dead. I’m on a dive trip and brought close to the bare minimum of cables but after trying everything I own I was lucky to hit on the Anker GaN charger will charge it but only from the USB-A charger port using the slower USB-A...

Thanks! I must have been mixing it up with sequential mode. One more question does it always shoot the programmed # of images, or can I start/stop to shoot a varied number of images? I rented an E-PL10 in October, but the 15 minutes of instruction topside proved to be overwhelming as I tried...

I'm looking to upgrade to a better sensor and consider the Olympus E-PL10, but I need to be able to take timed photos like a GoPro. I've read the Olympus manual and am not sure if the E-PL10 can do this at the rate I need. I want to use it for photogrammetry, which requires taking hundreds...

Had the GoPro 11 in Roatan a couple weeks ago. GoPro 11 In 84 degree water in a SuperSuit it eventually overheated recording at 4K60. Used only the Enduro batteries. Appeared to last pleasantly longer but I was focusing on actually taking good photo/video and not testing. After overheating I...

I think boulderjohn had some good points. It's going to be very hard getting business as an independent instructor. You'll have to cover your independent insurance. Learn marketing. Where are your students going to get their gear? While you may not earn as much per student working for a shop...

I've camped at Blue Grotto in my trailer and it's an enjoyable place for novice divers but diving is expensive and small for multiple days. Devils Den is almost next door but you'd need to find a buddy. I'm in love with Blue Heron Bridge. Honestly my wife and I like it better than many days...

I like Virgil but $48 day or $72 day & night is pretty steep for what you get now when other parks are $5.

SOLD -- Hollis Neotek Mens Size Large Semi-Dry suit. $250. Love this compared to standard wetsuit. Integrated hood and internal water dams keep you warmer than 7mm wetsuit. I now need larger size. Mares GraphFlex Large 5mm large wetsuit. $250. Almost new, dove one in Florida springs and...

I second what happy-diver said. That leak test can easily be done at home without making a mess. I substituted balloons in the openings instead of clamps but it tracked down a very tricky leg leak.

That's a reasonable price for those certifications considering your area, nearly in Canada, probably low demand, and far from any ocean. Drysuit diving is the norm up there most or all year. My local shop would have charged $1200 for those classes. Nearly everyone gets nitrox, and I did my...

I have the Hollis equivalent and like that style harness as its easier to get in and out of. My wife has a single web harness and tore her shoulder muscle trying to get in and out of that style. Who are you going to dive with? Tec diving is NOT a solo sport and I'm only willing to tec dive...

Agree on the rock boots over a specific fitted boot. More durable, easier to buy used, and easier to re-sell. Definitely do not agree on zipper. I will never buy a back zip dry suit. My first one was back zip and to solo dive I have to get very creative with a street sign and bungee cord to...
