    Old Zeagle Ranger Bladder Vs. New Zeagle Ranger Bladder?

    Can someone tell me the difference between the "old Zeagle Ranger bladder "and the "New Zeagle Ranger Bladder " and when changes took place and what they were? I replaced a bladder on an 08 model and just want to be sure everything is good to go. It seems like the threads and everything match...

    Will Air Integration in dive computers replace the SPG?

    I bought my first AI computer 20 years ago and thought it would the wave of the future. It was for me. I don't really use anything else in rec diving. Interestingly, I just sold that computer and it is remarkable how it held quite a bit of value. I am thinking AI wrist mount and brass SPG is...

    Photos from Cozy and Bonaire with new D7100 setup

    These are really great. The parasite on the trunkfish is insane. I had to look for a minute before I saw it! Love those little floating balls. I am looking to upgrade from my point and shoot some day and the D7100 sounds like a great choice. Thanks for sharing.

    Corpus Christi Diving

    The video of that big grouper is amazing. I haven't seen them near shore like that since I was a kid. I have a PowerPoint on my homepage below that explains how to successfully dive the Jetties at Port Aransas.

    Scubapro mark 15 with no serial number?

    I have a Mark 15 purchased online that has no serial number. It looks identical to the one I purchased in 1995 that has a serial number stamped on the side of the main body? It seems to function perfectly. Is it a knockoff? When did SP start putting serial numbers? Any thoughts on why it is...

    Thanks, I really appreciate the weather update! I am sitting here in the airport waiting to board and watching webcams to see you all go out today. It looks nasty via webcam, but not as bad as it looked yesterday.

    New Hog Regulators

    I am thinking about "breaking up" wiith ScubaPro for being like a bad girlfriend- just too needy, takes all my money, high maintenance, and way too controlling. So are service kits readily available to end users like previous Hogs? What exactly is the 1st stage made of? What is the black...

    Oceanic Datamax Pro plus question

    Can you hook up an Oceanic Datamax Pro Plus that came with a quick connect up directly to a HP hose with a spool? I tried it and it works, just wander if there are any potential problems doing it or is it not uncommon to do this. It's a used computer I bought that did not have a hose. I...

    Near Miss with Cruise Ship: Dive Paradise - Cozumel

    I am a South Texas diver. I dive the Port Aransas Jetties in near zero viz with ships from the 7th largest port in America going back and forth pulling me into the ship channel. It's a narrow channel with ripping currents often made worse by the ships. I have dived there all my life. I have...

    What happened to the inexpensive airfare/hotel packages from DFW?

    Fun jet was scary! I'll never forget one time when we were taking off from coz. The plane had actually begun to move when a girl in front of me popped up out of her seat. Almost immediately the captain stopped the plane and yelled passenger in row X seat Y go back to your seat! The girl did...
