    newbie norcal diver... straight to drysuit?

    Just an update. Had my first dry suit dive yesterday. My 7th dive. It really was a great choice to move early, I don't see myself in a thick wetsuit any time soon.

    Brinyte DIV10 "3000 Lumen" Canister light Review

    Those are flat tops. Button tops look like regular batteries you buy at the supermarket. i bought some like yours and they didn't work. i bought rare earth magnets to function as "buttons" but that messes up the magnetic switch. If you bought those, buy two of these: Flat Top Battery Adapter...

    if you're willing to share it with the world and can find the time, you could have quite a book on your hands. Sounds like you've had a career most people, diver or not, would want to read about.

    DRIS 1000 Lumen Can Light... thoughts?

    update: don't use magnets if you get the wrong batteries. it will interfere with the button. just buy the cheap little disks with a brass button in them they sell for e cigarettes. works fine.

    Brinyte DIV10 "3000 Lumen" Canister light Review

    can someone post a pic of the sharp part of the canister gland responsible for cable cutting? Also, if the glands are glued down, other reports of these coming unscrewed during use are wrong, correct?

    Brinyte DIV10 "3000 Lumen" Canister light Review

    I can confirm that those e cig button top adapters work like a charm! They are large enought that the brass button is always touching the battery top, so they are a drop in mod. I didn't solder as I didn't want to risk heat damage to the batteries. The light now works excellently.

    Brinyte DIV10 "3000 Lumen" Canister light Review

    important notes: 1. You need button top batteries. 2. If you try to use rare earth magnets to turn flat tops into buttons, it will make the unit behave wrong because it interferes with the magnetic switch (for example, mine goes from bright to strobe). Not sure if it's permanent, waiting for...

    Light is good and bright. solution to flat top batteries,,, rare earth cheapo magnets at a buck a piece. Seat them in hardware store washers, perfect adapters.

    DRIS 1000 Lumen Can Light... thoughts?

    I ordered six of these batteries, and can't get the light to work. Are you sure these are the right batteries? I saw someone on one of the other pages say that that button tops are needed... these are flat. Is that true, or is something wrong with the light?

    GUE Primer or Fundamentals for a brand new diver?

    Elgoog, sounds like we're on the same schedule! Would love to go diving as much as possible (without learning things too wrong) before next year. My absolute priority asap is the same as yours, to work out buoyancy and trim in salt water with my bpw. Barring the weekend of the 25th, and a block...

    GUE Primer or Fundamentals for a brand new diver?

    Apologies if this has been asked before, but would you recommend Primer for someone fresh out of open water before doing Fundies?

    DRIS 1000 Lumen Can Light... thoughts?

    I'll be doing rec diving for now, but have an interest longer term in caves, and most certainly wrecks, penetration or not. I definitely want to keep my options open, and figured even just getting used to a goodman handle and canister might be useful. I'll be diving exclusively on the...

    DRIS 1000 Lumen Can Light... thoughts?

    thanks guys! Found the DIV10 (3000 lumens) on the bay with free shipping... with 1 year warranty. Might have to go for it. DRIS only has the 1000. Eelnoraa, have you tried removing the mount entirely and rigging up something custom in the position you want? ---------- Post added October 9th...
