Mike, Very happy with my new Fusion Sport that I got from you. Silicone seals with the SLT system are phenomenal. I was a little worried about discomfort from the Necktite on my boney collarbone, but no issues at all (as long as they didn't rest on the suspender tabs). I also had to figure...

I was investigating a Wifi hard drive that came up on Woot as a way to stream movies to my iPad on an upcoming liveaboard. Then I started looking into mobile routers with NAS capability (a USB port that would take a hard drive), which would provide a bit more versatility. After more searching...

I've been putting together an inexpensive new underwater camera rig for myself. This will be my third underwater camera, the previous ones having been an Olympus SP350 (with wired external Olympus strobe, wonderful camera save a few shortcomings) and a Panasonic ZS3 (no strobe). This time I...

I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with this problem... Whites puts a corner seam, where four pieces of Nylon come together, right on the top of the foot. This hard little lump of fabric digs right into the top of my, albeit boney, foot. It's quite painful once I put fins on. Now...

I'm looking for some quick feedback as I try to make a decision on which DRIS bargain to take advantage of. The Fusion One package with Mk2 undergarment and boots is such an incredible deal at $1000. Basically you're getting the suit for $600! For another $200, DRIS can install the SLT...

I'm heading to Truk in a couple of weeks for a week of diving at Blue Lagoon Resort. I'm going to be piggybacking off a business trip that takes me through Tokyo so I'm going to have to be selective on how much gear I bring along. What I'm trying to decide is if I want to pack for singles or...

Is Truk Stop still around? I've tried several times to contact them on room availability (twice web form, once e-mail) and haven't gotten a response. Any suggestions? Thanks. Bob

Underwater Kinetics Light Cannon 100 with both pistol and lantern grips, excellent condition. This light probably has 15-20 dives on it so there should be lots of life left in the bulb. I'll throw in a new set of 8 x C batteries and my custom lens protector (tennis ball can lid). $100 +...

Am I the only one who's new HOG second stages were tuned from the factory to freeflow? I purchased a pair of these back in November. I mated them with my trusty SP Mk25 (I like the fifth port and I don't want DIN if I'm rec diving), which has an IP of 130 psig. Right out of the box, both...

What ever happened to the Mega Nova? Intova announced it before DEMA, but I haven't seen anything about it since? Bob

I'm looking to get an inexpensive video setup. Unfortunately, my Olympus SP-350 just doesn't cut it for video--the video is not too bad, but it only takes 20 second clips. I'm trying to decide whether to get a Bonica Snapper HDDV or get one of the new 720p digital cameras like the Panasonic...

Does anyone know the difference (besides about $150 in price)? The ~$350 Edy looks like a great backup computer / bottom timer. Thanks! Bob

Has anyone by chance tried using this Li battery in the Intova dive lights? Ultrafire 18650 BUTTON TOP Protected Rechargeable Lithium Battery UF18650 It would only provide 3.6V versus the 6.0V the 2xCR123A batteries would provide, but apparrently this batter works for some other 2xCR123A...

So I'm looking to buy a set of regulators for some introductory tech diving. I see very good reviews of these regulators coming out of Taiwan--Salvo, Oxycheq, Sea Elite, Scubamax, etc. So why would one buy Salvo regulators versus say the Sea Elite regulators. The Salvo SR3/SRX combo runs...

For days when I don't feel like carting around Rock Boots, can anyone suggest booties that are well suited for use with the DUI socks? Presumeably that would need to be reasonably wide. I would assume that 2 full sizes larger would probably be necessary. Bob

In terms of new-style Jet/Rocket fin, I've seen quite a bit of discussion about the OMS Slipstreams. I don't see much info on the Aqualung Rocket 2. Can anyone out there report on these fins - sizing, comfort, performance? The redesigned foot pocket would seem to increase comfort and...

I've decided to take the plunge on a drysuit, a custom cut TLS350. Now, I'm trying to pick out undergarments. Based on my dimensions (tall and thin) I think I'm going to get a custom cut undergarment from Softwear Diving. I'm just trying to get a starting point on fleece weight, based on...

I was wondering if anyone has any Zip Seals with failed latex seals that they would be interested in parting with. I'd like to see if I could attach a bell-shaped seal to the zip part, but don't really want to experiment with a brand new, expensive seal. Thanks. Bob

I'm looking for a lightweight drysuit for tropical diving (I wear a 7mm in 82 degree water), a bit of colder diving (I'd love to dive west coast US to start) and some Yucatan cavern diving (nothing too harsh). I've dove a TLS350, which is very nice, but a bit pricey. I'm trying to get a...

I'm trying to narrow down my drysuit choices and need some help. What I'm looking for is a lightweight trilam, front-entry drysuit. I did a few dives on a TLS350 at a DUI Dogdays and like it a fair bit. I'm just wondering if there's a more economical solution. Reading about the USIA Aqua...
