    Huge thumbs up for Mayan Aqua Dive and Ben Mooney

    Just got back from Cancun and, on the recommendation of folks here, dove with Ben and Mayan Aqua Dive. Absolutely terrific op with terrific people. And, of course, Ben and Carla couldn't be nicer. We had two absolutely splendid dives in which I saw more fish than I think I had ever seen...

    Boston shop that fills Nitrox and Argon?

    I know lots of places fill Nitrox, but finding one that fills both Nitrox and Argon seems to be a bit more difficult to find. Coming from Southie so bonus points for being close to the city...

    Cancun: Looking for operations where renting out the boat is possible

    My family is heading to Cancun in late May. We are 5-6 people and would like, if possible, to rent out an entire boat for a half day (2 dives). Does anyone have any experience with dive ops with whom this is possible? If so, I'd be interested in hearing from you and the kind of experience...

    Looking for 1-2 people to potentially take GUE Tech 1/Cave 1 late summer

    I am a GUE-F certified diver who is interested in furthering my education through GUE. I would ideally like to take both Tech 1 and Cave 1 later this summer/fall. Shot in the dark here, but I am looking for another 1-2 people in the RI/Boston/NH area to potentially form a team that would...

    Replacement o-ring for Apeks DS-4

    Does anyone know (a) what specific size o-ring is required for a DS-4 and (b) a source for such o-rings? I had heard that Apeks uses non-standard DIN sizes. All help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Boston area: LDS that will fill 32% w/o Nitrox stickers

    Had an unfortunate experience with an LDS this past weekend. They categorically refused to pump nitrox into tanks without Nitrox stickers. I understand the arguments for and against and am not particularly interested in a re-hash of a debate we've all seen a million times at SB. My...

    Good place to make online purchase of D200?

    I just want to make sure that I am not getting anything grey-market. Are people simply buying from Amazon, or do folks have another recommendation? Thanks.

    What's on your playlist?

    On another board I frequent, there is a monthly thread started where people list the music that they most frequently listen to at work, in their car, on their iPod, etc. It's a great way to learn about new music, which is something that I am always up for. Anyways, here goes my list (pretty...

    Mid-week charter operators?

    I know that CAD runs charters throughout the week, and I know a lot of boats who don't, but I am not sure of there are other ops that will do mid-week charters. Do you guys know of others (preferably on the North or South Shore, or in RI)? Thanks, M

    Nikon v. Canon (Trying to Understand the Differences)

    I know this has the tendency to generate some serious discussion. Having owned neither type of camera, however, I am interested in what people perceive to be the significant differences between the systems and what would lead them to buy one system over the other. Let's keep it civil and...

    Technology Cycle Length, i.e. When will my purchase be obsolete?

    The smarmy answer ("The day after you purchase it...") I don't need you folks for. :D Seriously, though, I am trying to look at two different alternatives - an FX1 with housing and lights and a HC3 with housing and lights. The cost difference is fairly substantial but I would be willing to...

    Learning (Underwater) Photography: The 5 books every student should own

    One piece of advice that seems to be repeated quite often is that a significant part of becoming a good underwater photographer is simply becoming a good photographer (i.e. on land). In that vein, I would like to ask - if you were putting together a reading list to take a total beginner and get...

    Nikon DSLR for a beginner?

    I have shot digital photography before and I have read some very basic books on photography, but I have no real experience beyond that of a beginner (no experience with flashes, varying lenses, etc.). What, in general, system would you recommend? I have heard a lot of people mention that the...

    Valve Drill: Easier in Doubles than in a Single?

    Hi all, I was just wondering whether reaching and manipulating your valves in a set of doubles is more or less difficult than in a single tank. I am able to reach my valves in a single without (too) much difficulty and was wondering if there was any substantive difference in a doubles rig...

    Capturing a still pic from video

    This is perhaps a more general computer question, but this seemed to be the most appropriate forum. What is the best way for me to capture a still photograph from a DVD? I have a dive video that was recently made and would like to generate single images. Other than taking a screenshot...
