Leaning towards this light as-well for a GoPro Black setup. I'm getting kinda lost with all the different choices, but this fits my budget and seems like it'll do the trick as a video light. What about performance as a dive light? Mostly (other than video), I'll be using it for night dives.

Thanks! I'm thinking it must be possible, but I don't have a cylinder to test this on. No worries though, I'm sure I'll have an opportunity to test this soon. I am still looking for advice or board thoughts around how anybody dives with 2x computers, especially 2 watch-style computers plus a...

Dunno if you're still looking, but I made the rounds recently. I bought some gear last year from The Dive Shop in Newmarket from Jim. He was a huge help with my Roatan vacation. Unfortunately, the shop seems to be closed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are 'liquidation' signs on the...

Hello all! I finally pulled the trigger on gear in anticipation of a DM course next year. Last year I bought a D4i, which I have no complaints about. I can see it fine underwater with my RX mask. Taking advantage of the free wireless transmitter offer and board poster suggestions, I bought a...

Although I can't speak from a DM candidate's perspective, I really enjoyed myself at Ban's Diving Resort. It's definitely a big shop, a diver factory isn't a bad description, but I don't feel you miss out on high quality, personalized instruction. I tagged along while friends progressed through...

Hey folks, Thanks so much for all the help I've received so far on this. I was wondering if there's anyone who would be willing to exchange a couple eMails or PM's with me about their experiences at UDC (Utila Dive Center) or UV (Underwater Vision) (in particular)? I've got a couple questions...

Outstanding. Never since 'Californa Love' has a music video made me want to visit a place this badly. This thread and your responses have pretty much sold me. I really didn't have Utila in my sights, so thank you all very much. Now I have thousands of questions, but I should probably do some...

As always, you folks are a tremendous group to bounce questions off. I was clearly looking in other directions. Thank you so much. Does anyone who has spent time in both places know how cost of living on Utila compares to Koh Tao? I'm not exactly a budget-traveler, but I certainly am not made...

Hey folks, I've spoken at-length to diver friends and LDC's and think it might be better to put it out to a wider audience. I'm young (at heart, anyways) and get July and August off as a teacher. I'm having some difficulty narrowing my sights on my first BIG dive vacation. I'd like to go...

Thanks so much for these replies... I'm really glad I posted, I would have been going in a completely different direction. Although it changes every couple days, I think if I was to walk into my LDS tomorrow It'd be: Apeks XTX200's with an XTX50 octo (this year's model, with mylar hoses)...

Thanks very much for your replies, they have been incredibly helpful. To throw you all for a loop... As I have a Suunto D4i already and am prepared to drop some cash on an air-integrated computer, what about saving myself a couple hundred bucks by just buying the Suunto transmitter? Less gear...

Greetings all! I've been lurking for almost a year and am stumped on the eve of my first gear shopping spree. I bought a Suunto D4i this summer and love it. I'm not quite ready to rely on wireless for pressure readings, I need a SPG and I want a 2nd computer as a backup (safety first or...

Just thought I'd post a hello and offer a thank you to this community for all the great info I've been getting while lurking. Cheers!
