Picked up one of these to use as an anchor line marker. I haven’t rigged it or gotten it wet yet, but the quality looks good. It checked all the boxes I wanted: super bright LEDs, aluminum body, simple twist on/off, and uses common rechargeable battery formats (18650 and 26650). I’ll provide an...

I live in Virginia, and am very interested in the number and variety of wrecks off NC. I have been diving off and on since 2001, but my work situation changed recently and I’m able to dive more. I have nitrox and deep certs, but I want to do more advanced recreational training (primarily rescue)...

I’ve not seen this one before. Does anyone have experience with it or other thoughts? I didn’t see anything in a quick search.

I’ve been reading threads here and saving for a canister light. Most of my diving will be mid-Atlantic quarries, rivers, and ocean diving on recreational OC, but I don’t have a good idea of the lumens required in these environments. I have read the advice here and listened to others who...

I've had the DG 02 for about a month now, and it's great! Being able to set FO2 and screw around in the lake while having an equally awesome gauge for the heavier stuff is just what I needed. If anyone is looking at getting one, do it. Question: Where can we get the cable to download our dives?

I put this here because I am a proponent of the Hogarthian rig. That being said, I would also like the DIR outlook on this; particularly the age of some of the information and how it has changed in regards to what is currently being put out by GUE. New Jersey Scuba Diver - Dive Gear &...

I was having a nice gear labeling party with myself yesterday, and while waiting for everything to dry, I decided that the bottoms of my fins were so...blank! It's an added bonus that they're one of a kind now, goes with the spring-straps I put on last year around this time.:dork2:

Today was the Scuba Divers Paradise Dive Club christmas dive. Due to the wind, the boats weren't going out, so location was just around the marina. Air temp - 63F Water temp - 58F We had thirteen show up, but only ten dove. (Two thought it was too cold, and my wife as surface...

Ok, so this is one of those questions that has been gnawing away at the back of my mind this week for no apparent reason. Dive Rite and others offer interchangeable covers on their second stages in different colors. According to what I know already: Black- standard reg color Yellow-...

Ok, so I've decided to get the RG2500 reg from Dive Rite. This is based on availability and ease of service, so I have thought out the options, including Apeks for me.eyebrow My only question is whether it's worth getting the 2010 as my backup, or just the 1210. I can think of good reasons...

No real point to this post other than to share my excitement. My wife bought me a bowl from the Andrea Doria recovered by Gary Gentile for my birthday. It's great! I figured at least on the board, people would understand. All of my friends say, "You got a....bowl..." Oh well :D To be a...

Does anybody have any experience with Virginia Scuba? I'm specifically interested in their AOW class at the moment. I'm just sick of some of the stores around here freaking on me when I mention diving in a bp/w and attacking me about DIR (which I'm not). Thanks all.

Hey everyone I was just wondering if anyone knew of an instructor for the ANDI CSU course that would be within reasonable travelling distance to central-northern Maryland. At the moment I am in Westminster, but anywhere in Maryland/NOVA/S. Pennsylvania would be closer than anything I can...

Hey everybody, this is my first post to ScubaBoard, so hello. My name is Josh, and I was certified PADI OW 4 years ago. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, however, I have only been able to make a few dives since then. My interest in diving has never waned, and now that it is possible, I...
