>And I want to become a dive instructor. You haven't been diving in 23 years? Honestly, if you actually want to become a dive instructor, do your course again. It's worth it so you can: a) learn all the stuff that was never included in the courses back then (for example, inflating an SMB is...

For the west coast, I recommend the books by Aqua Research And Monitoring (Fish Identification and Marine biodiversity | Aquamonitoring): * Ningaloo Marine Life * The Perth Coast Fish Book * The Rottnest Island Fish Book

Silicone grease works with everything, I have no idea what you or your LDS is on about. Someone is very confused. FYI, the entire and ONLY point of silicone grease is to keep the o-rings from drying out. Nothing else. It's not an axel with moving parts (basically, the opposite). A LDS is only...

Heya Sandy, I can't confirm your o-ring size, but I can say that I've had some bad luck (VERY, as in, flooded comps) with o-rings that were the right size, but the wrong material. Usually too stiff. However, I have had very good success with ebay seller uc29 from the UK. Not cheap like the bulk...

As someone with 'lower' feet (less tall?), the Gorillas are fantastic for me. Perfect fit with my thin, open water booties. HOWEVER, I will add that you really do need boots with extra rubber padding on the toes and front of the ankle (if you know what I mean) - where the end of top of the foot...

The Tusas just require a basic allen key; same as my 1st stage reg plugs, I think. Or close to it. Either way, screwdriver vs allen key isn't a big difference :) EDIT: cheers on the gorilla comparison. Interesting about their performance with your heavy drag/water resistance. I definitely would...

Read through this whole thread, lots of great information, but I have a few questions & comments. The separation aspect looks like a direct copycat of Tusa's Hyflex Switch / Switch Pro fins. Not that that's bad, but worth remembering they weren't first. I found the Switch far too soft for my...

I'll definitely get in touch with them - thanks!

I was hoping to confirm from those who have used PDM - were they able to offer a prescription lens with something more like half and half? Half clear, and half basic prescription? (I need about +1.50 to +1.75). Like @CanadaDan , I need them for photography, and while my gauge readers (about...

You'll see when you get it. My first one (7.5cm) I just used a hobby/x-acto knife and a hand file. I wish I'd remembered about this earlier. I've reinstalled my computer, but haven't installed Blender or anything to edit the file yet. It's not IDEAL but it will be fine. oh, and ~$10 was what I...

You're welcome! I mean, I did it for me, but I'm glad it could help someone else! Normal PLA! It seems to be fine for this. Plenty strong. Very cheap. A random local guy. You an I are not near each other :) Nah, you're overthinking it. Plastic is perfect for saltwater. Thread is fine. It's...

I've just picked up an old Oceanic Veo 180NX which is passingly similar (puck, single button), which I need to open up to replace the broken button spring. Have you had any luck on dismantling yours?

Barmaglot: Wow, that's about twice what I paid for mine, but it does look nice :) And - nice solution! I might consider something similar; I've found the 7cm arm a bit too long, and so I don't "use" all of it, so part of it is a bit lower than the screw/bolt/attachment point - which gets in the...

I just picked up a Salted A6xxx housing for my A6300, and the housing is HUGE. So much bigger than expected. Ikelite sized. Problem is, it's too tall for the normal shutter triggers you buy off ebay or your FLDS. A friendly soul made up a duplicate for me, suitable for 3D printing. Normal...

I'm using a 10-18mm lens; and it's a HUGE pain getting the camera in and out.

I have an Oceanic OCS. Was warm water, easy diving in the Philippines. After 3 days/ 9 dives (now 182 dives with this computer), I get up in the morning, and I find my computer is in dive mode. For some reason, after 13hrs 52 minutes, of being on dry land, it spontaneously switched to dive...

For the spreadsheet, this is where I bought my OCS ring, by the way: http://bohemiaseal.cz/ Shop from: http://stores.ebay.com/BOHEMIA-SEAL

Great news! I can now confirm that the Oceanic OCS / OCi does indeed take a 40mmx1.5mm oring. I purchased two from Bohemia Seal in the Czech Republic for $1USD each delivered: 1pc Oring Cross 1 5 MM Inside Diameter Upto 40mm MAT NBR 70 SHA Choose ID | eBay And they match my existing ring...

According to Oceanic Singapore (the first of three Oceanic email addresses I've attempted to contact that has replied to me), the rings the OCS are: 1.5mm x 40mm But he didn't know the hardness.
