    Seacraft DPV's?

    Anybody here have personal experience with Seacraft DPV's, specifically the Future 1000? I realize this is going to probably be more pertinent for our European dive buddies, seeing as Seacraft has next-to-no North American market penetration (yes, I know Edd is distributor), but what are your...

    What's the deal with low pressure steel?

    Alrighty, so I'm more curious as to the political/business aspect of this, but would love any and all tech/spec related info. It's hard to get LP steel tanks (at least, harder than bygone days) and it seems Cramer Decker is the only folks supplying Faber LP steel tanks in the dealer chains I'm...

    What do you want or wish you had from your LDS? All good, all bad...

    This may be, and probably is, the wrong place to post this. But it is as close as I can guess at. Please feel free to push it elsewhere. Anyway, for all divers, new or experienced, what's something you wish your LDS told you, tells, you, or let's you you know about? If you ran the perfect dive...

    IDC in North America in February or March

    Howdy all, So I have a couple lines on doing a quick IDC in the next couple months. Rainbow Reef is my first choice. I'm staying in North America because of work, and I have a bit of a time constraint (as in, I'm not doing an internship in Utila for 6 months). This is mostly a business...

    Decisions on steel tanks (i.e. how bad will a HP120 screw up my trim?).

    Hey guys and gals, Snow is flying up here, Christmas is looming behind a pile of Turkey and football games (rejoice!), and I'm thinking I am about to bite that heavy, steel bullet and get a couple of tanks to call my very own. That said, it has been a somewhat...weird search, for lack of a...

    Who has forgotten they didn't hook up their p-valve before a dive...?

    ...and who's lying? I'm not saying I pissed in my suit today, but I'm also not saying I didn't. It's 50-50.

    SAC rate has been uncharacteristically high?

    This feels like a stupid question, but I have been perplexed... My SAC is normally right around .7 cf/m. I can get it lower if I'm consciously trying, and if I'm working, it may be higher, but for the last two weeks, it has been stupid high for me, like consistently 1.1-1.3. For contrast, when...

    Advice for Tall Divers?

    So, this is more for my own curiosity than anything else: for the taller divers of Scubaboard, what is different for you and what tips or tricks do you have for those folks up in the thinner air? I'm 6'7", and I like to consider myself a competent diver, but I've never really done much...

    Solved it. Thank you!

    For God's sake, pick a f---ing career!

    Those words were spoken to me by my infinitely patient and exceedingly wonderful wife, after I got a job in the dive industry. I have been an investment banker, a software programmer, a brewer, a waiter, a bartender, a (legitimately) homeless person, and a door-to-door salesman. And now... I...

    DUI CLX450 vs Santi E-Lite (or, Can We Please Fight About This?)

    Hey everyone! My hand-me-down TLS350 is on its final legs, and I am in the market for a new drysuit. I recently moved up to Alaska, and am starting to get into technical diving, and I am hard on drysuits. I'm trying to choose between the CLX450 and the E-Lite. (I dive a BP&W) As for...
