Can you please comment on the Henderson greenprene wet suits. They are made from recycles water bottles which makes me leery regarding wear and comfort and longevity. I am looking for a very easy to put on wetsuit due to bad shoulders. Can any one recommend one? Thanks.

I seem to have lost my treasured hand signal book on marine life. I had bought it in the Philippines. A google search is not bringing up a book that covers common and exotic fish and other marine life, like in south east Asia. If anyone has a book like this can you send me the name, author and...

Hi, I recently retired and might want to be a dive master or instructor to enjoy my time off and pass along what I love about diving. What I'm wondering is why people do these 6-8 week internships. Is that required to be a divemaster?? Can I skip all that with just doing SSI/PADI training...

I have not used wetsuits much, but been diving 45 years in warm water down to 78 degrees just fine. But I'm thinking of diving in colder waters, so my question is: what's the difference in effectiveness between a 1 or 2 piece suit. Why do people even choose 1 piece suits? Thanks

Can someone recommend a book or video course on snorkelers who want to dive down to a reef 30-50 feet deep and stay on a reef for a few minutes. I am not a pure free diver for sport. Just need some tips on extending my breath holding on reefs.

Been diving a long time but age has caught up and getting colder with out a suit. I've shied away due to the difficulties getting them on and off. I see divers struggle all the time. I have old rotator cuff issues. Can you recommend wetsuits that are easy to get on and off and are of good...

I am looking for some instruction-books, videos, etc.-that cover old fashioned snorkeling to depths of 30-50 feet. I just want to review techniques to stay down longer. Everything I find is on free diving. I am not interested in free diving. I just want to swim to a reef for a couple of minutes...

I've been warm water diving for 40 years and have hit the Caribbean and much of Asia. Now I want to do some colder water diving as in Soccoro, Bali, Baja. I've only used Lavacore and skins. One big question I have is for a full suit or shorty, would it be better to get a front zip vs a back...

I know this looks like the head of a wobbegong shark but something is off, like to tail. Big eyes. Odd mouth. Out in the sand.

I have not worn wet suits through 40 years of diving. I stick to warm water down to 78 degrees. But thinking of going to colder water this year. Ive been researching suits but man is it confusing. I have a lavacore pull over vest and love that it is not positively buoyant and very light in my...

I've been contemplating going to colder dives like Soccoro. I am really confused as to what to buy. Too many choices. My dive bag almost maxes out at 50 lbs now. I have shoulder issues that worry me about all the pulling I see divers do on the boats. One provider I saw at scuba shows was the...

I'd like a recommendation for a good cutting tool to helps fish, turtles. mantas, etc that are caught up in ropes and fishing lines. I feel that my dive knife would cut the skin if I tried to insert it. What are experienced divers using for this? Thanks

I am looking for a review of the liveaboard diving with the Dream Team in the Bahamas. The shark trip goes a week and I'm wondering if I'd get bored looking at sharks after a few days. I've seen plenty of sharks but not Tigers, Bulls and not so concentrated. Do they also dive reefs and does one...

I have heard good things about these locations. I gather seeing sharks is not a problem. I am wondering if there is also good coral and good fish life as well. Is it diverse enough to justify more than a couple days of diving at each site? Any review of these areas would be appreciated. Finally...

I have been a diver for 50 years, I've only dove warm water sites and I can do 20 dives at 76-78 degree water with no problems. I'm heavy. I see divers wearing wet suits in water over 80 degrees and I have no need of a suit above that. I sometimes wear a fleece vest. However this has kept me...

I just bought my new Aqualung Legend Supreme regulator and tried it out in the pool before a dive trip coming up. I noticed that when the regulator is out of the water it makes and odd sound when I breath. Ill call it the goose honk. I did the position where one would lay back on the surface...

Is there anyway to search past threads on a subject like an aqualung regulator or a trip to Fiji etc? Thanks

I am a bit confused as to the difference between these two. The only difference is that the Legend has tow 2nd stage adjustment knobs and the LX has one. I don't' see how the LX knob can control both the venturi effect and the ease of air flow. Can anyone explain that please. The supreme has a...
