Good luck with that. You budget likely limits you to a used camera. I'd monitor the classified ads here on Scubaboard, or maybe eBay.

My Aladdin Prime was great until it needed a new battery, then it ate them like candy. By the 3rd battery it wouldn't last a week of diving. Read here about similar stuff: Aladin Prime - Problems + Problems Even if I was given a brand new Prime, I would not trust it. In recreational diving...

Once they are bent, rework is a manual (and expensive) process. No automation. Even if they only took 15min each to hand drill, cut with grinder, and cleanup.. that's $10-$15 dollars in labor. If the shop is busy, that's actaully $20-$30 in opportunity cost. Probably 2x or 3x what it costs...

Does anyone drift dive from a kayak, pulling it along like a huge SMB?

Not as I read the FCC FAQ: Ship Radio Stations I think there was a bit of concern and hand wringing about individuals obtaining an MMSI without an actual craft, but I thought that was resolved.

Meh... Those skills aren't really difficult. What I lack is the mindfulness to not nose-exhale (just a little) when I'm busy enjoying the diving.

I have conscious control over those muscles. I have no problems removing my mask for extended periods of time, and practice it with an instructor (solo skill refresher) once in a while. Where I struggle is the unconscious state of those muscles. If I don't pay attention I end up...

I know people do this with the 'spare air', but I didn't know they do it with a pony bottle. Seems like filling a 20cf or 40cf pony bottle would leave you with half a primary tank. I just bought a 20cf pony bottle (delivered to my Mom's place in Florida). It will be going straight to the LDS...

I like the sealife micro series. It is less than $600. It is setup and programmed for underwater use (unlike the gopro). It is in a permanently sealed housing, so there is no risk of flooding! You can add a video light if you want. They take great video with better colors.

When will you be going? I'm diving Blue Heron Bridge on the evening of Nov 9, and then Key Largo with Rainbow Reef from Nov 10-14.

Think about one of the days doing a 2-tank morning and a 2-tank twilight/night dive.

Hello all! I made it to the pool today, and here is the data I collected and my feedback. POOL TIME Setup: me: 5'10" at 230lbs swimsuit short sleeve rash guard 3mm booties HOG aluminum backplate HOG 35lb wing 2 small ditchable weight pockets on harness 4 small non ditchable trim pockets on...

I've incorporated your feedback into my plan. Finally getting to the pool this Saturday to take all these measurements. I delayed because I've been loosing 4lbs/week (almost 70 lbs so far), and I wanted to be closer to my November vacation weight to make things as accurate as possible. I'll...

I do not know where you dive. Many places (resorts and liveaboards) require a dive computer. If you can afford a Vivioactive, you can afford an i300 or Mares Puck. Personally, I would avoid tables unless I had equipment failure during a vacation. Considering how much money scuba costs...

I had a good experience with Sea Bees Diving in Phuket. Diving in Thailand | Scuba Dive Tours & Holidays in Thailand They have four locations, including Phuket and Khao Lak. I did several day trips from Chalong and found it enjoyable and very efficient and well organized. One day they had a...

Thanks everyone for all the great ideas!!

Howdy all! I'm driving down from Daytona next month for a late evening BHB dive. Where should I go for late lunch (early dinner) nearby? I don't want fancy, but I do want good. I'm flexible on the type of food. I don't get much good Cuban food where I live, so that would be of interest...

Um... I didn't tilt or fuss or argue. I just don't think the German TSA agent should have yell at me for doing exactly what I was previously told to do. And if you don't ever tilt or argue or fuss at something ridiculous, they never get fixed. Granted, there is a time and place, and a TSA or...

Hi Zef! Generally I agree with what you've sad. My biggest frustration is the inconsistency I've experienced. I take the time to check on security and customs rules when I travel, but I can't tell you the number of times they simply don't jive with what happens. Additionally, from one trip...
