    Pro Buoy II dive flag

    A retired diver gave me some of his gear today. Included was a dive flag called the "Pro Buoy II." I think it's missing the floaty bits, but I have no idea what it's supposed to look like. Any old timers here heard of it? Photo is attached, separated into its two sections.

    I’ve got mail

    This morning while diving in the Venice Boneyard, I repeatedly heard a “buzz, buzz” in the water, seeming to emanate from my gear. It was the sound similar to what you hear when you receive a text on a phone set to vibrate. My phone was on the boat. My Perdix AI was not trying to get my...

    Torpedo 2000 question

    Any current or former owners of the Torpedo 2000 here? I have a question but but no manual to check: Is there supposed to be an o-ring inside the slot where the nose cone fits over the battery compartment, or does it just lock down against the bottom of the slot?

    BP/W and DUI weight harness

    Does anyone have experience wearing a DUI weight harness as the sole weight handling system (other than the backplate) with a BP/W system? Will the two pieces of gear play nice together? With my drysuit and cold water undergarments, I would need to wear ~30 pounds in the harness with a steel...

    I want to wipe the memory of my Oceanic VT 4.1 computer

    Does anyone know how to completely wipe all the dives from an Oceanic VT 4.1 dive computer? It's got several dozen past dives on it that MacDive continues to recognize as new dives every time I do a download, so I have to wait, delete and repeat just to get 1-2 new dives. Just an irritant, not...

    Where to watch the Super Bowl around the Blue Heron Bridge?

    Can anyone recommend a good sports bar somewhere between Ft. Lauderdale and the Blue Heron Bridge where a visiting New England fan might find a big tv screen or three?

    Connecting VT 4.1 to Mac via USB: Correct order

    Is there a correct order to connect my VT 4.1 to my Mac via USB for downloading? I cannot get a consistent connection where the "PC connection 120 seconds" message comes up. It seems to be random or "magic." I let the VT4.1 sleep, connect the USB cable to the Mac, plug the cable into the VT4.1...

    Dimension i3 - What is this feature?

    My new Dimension i3 has a small string loop with an attached plastic pull (It looks like a mini-valve dump) on the left hand side behind the weight pouch. Can someone tell me what it's for? It doesn't appear to be attached to anything, and I can't figure out its function. Thanks
