My daughter is currently getting certified, and I set her up with a Halcyon Infinity backplate and wing. We ordered the small plate and it fits her like a dream, and more importantly she matches dad ;)

If you are referring to eLearning or the Touch products, the PIC online is usually included in the purchase of those products. The product codes will show up in your Online Processing Center and once the diver has completed all course requirements you can process the PIC by going to the...

I highly suggest Meeks Bay and Hurricane Bay. Both are great spots, both are on the California side (so no having to tow a dive flag with you) and both offer access to water as deep as you would ever need. Meeks is my favorite though.

Just make sure that before signing up for the deep specialty, you have one of your instructors certify you as an adventure diver. It's a minimum prerequisite to take the deep specialty course (assuming you are doing it through PADI). Your other specialties will qualify you for the adventure...

I will say that I probably learned the most about diving in general during my Divemaster course. Rescue was good, but I work in public safety so it was the type of class I already had plenty of experience with. My IDC was also a fantastic course, but focused more on teaching diving as opposed...

Bummer, I hope it finds its way back to you.

I live about 20 miles north of Fresno, plus my two primary dive buddies live in Fresno. None of us frequent the local shops, but usually do business with Breakwater SCUBA in Monterey.

One dive at Point Lobos today. Vis was less than 10' in the cove but opened up to 15 or so on middle reef. Had a harbor seal come by and tug on mu fin. Played hide and go seek with him in the kelp for a bit then headed out to the end of middle reef. For some reason I got REALLY cold on this...

It would be nice to see how many open spots they have left for each day. Makes it hard to plan a group trip when you can't tell how many open teams are left.

That looks identical to my M1 mask. The only thing that appears to be different in the writing on the glass. I'd say you would be safe buying the M1. I love mine, most comfortable and leak free mask I have ever owned.

Two dives today. First dive was North Monastery. Vis was 35-40 feet at depth (max depth of 104') saw a few scools of blue rock fish and a couple of big lings. Surge was present on the 30'-shore range but mild. All in all, a great way to start off summer vacation. Second dive was the...

Why not try out the various 1000 lumen lights from Dive Right In SUBA? I have the impact shorty and it has a 2.5 hour burn time (about 1.5 hours at full power) with slowly tapering light output. The larger impact and the DRIS 1000 get about 4.5 hours of run time. the DRIS 1000 is only about...

Thanks for the input from all of you. I have a few weeks before I pick up new regs, so I will spend that time researching here and with other sources.

Thanks for the info. I do dive a long hose setup, but recreationally only as of now, I will transition to tech down the road, but that's a few years away (my kids need to eat lol). Thanks for the input so far, I will be making the purchase next month.

tbone, thanks for the input. I hadn't considered the non rotating turret, as I would not be going with a piston first stage. I prefer diaphragm.

Purely out of vanity lol, I just thought it would be nice to have matching kit. A bit childish I know but I just thought it would be nice. Plus as I freely admitted, I am a bit of a Halcyon fan boy. I realize they are basically Scubapro regs, I'm just looking for input.

I am currently in the market for a new reg set to supplement my Hollis DC1/212 setup. Since I will admit an attraction to Halcyon products (I dive their Infinity BC and love it), I was thinking about picking up a full blown Halcyon reg setup. As most things with the blue H, they are expensive...

Just updated my Petrel 2 this afternoon. Small but solid updates, you gotta love this company.

My first computer was the Mares Puck Pro. I still have it and it serves as a back up to my Shearwater Petrel 2. I would certainly buy it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a decent entry level, nitrox capable computer. Very simple to operate, though admittedly not as intuitive as...
