Yeah I use the nylon line off a thumb spool. The only thing I do differently is instead of burning the ends , I put a couple drops of Crazy Glue on the centre of the knot. Once you figure out how to tie it , you can use the same technique for an SPG or Reg or basically anything you need to put...

you can get a perdix AI without the pod which you can buy later on or if you want a smaller version thee is the Teric with or without air integration. For a base model they have the Peregrine. here is the link to their page https://www.shearwater.com/

I know its higher end, but look at the Shearwater family of computers. they have something for everyone.

My advice is simple , let him get certified first , get some dives under his belt and see what he likes or wants. Nothing wrong with buying used gear for a teen as long as it’s properly serviced before use. Everyone has different wants and needs, some like a jacket some like back inflate , some...

Computer should be you very first purchase. As far as a BC goes try some out before you spend your money. Most likely you have already used a jacket style( most rentals are these) try out a back inflate or a wing before you spend your money. Regulators there are lots on the market get something...

Check out Abyss diving suits, the are made just outside Halifax NS Canada. They do a true made to measure, and depending on where you are our weak Canadian dollar is only around .75 US right now as well.

Honestly I achieved my OW at SMB and thought the diving was fantastic, until I learned better.

I have dove at Ochi,SMB, and SGSL. SGSL was the only one where the diving was anything decent .

I am not sure , we were talking about it in my LDS the other day. Maybe it’s just a Canadian thing

And they have actually re-released the Maximus my understanding is it’s basically an SR 2 with an under the arm hose.

Cold HAHA and people wonder why I need 50+ lbs of lead and an HP 133 but I am rarely cold (even in the winter) . As far as rinsing goes, I carry my gear to and from the dive site in a plastic tote, so I just fill it with fresh water and soak it a few hours.

I have always envied fresh water divers. Especially when I am cleaning my gear after a weekend of salt water diving lol

My wedding band!!

So besides the basic stuff as in : Basic wrench’s Allen keys Spare O rings Spare mouth piece any suggestions on some must haves ?

Don’t get me wrong there are lots of safe easy dive sites as well. Clear water well10’ of visibility is a good day in the Bay lol

Lots of good shore diving in the bay. New river beach ( tommies cove) easy novice level not tide dependant. Beaver harbour is also a lower skill level and not tide dependant(60-70 ft on a high tide) . McCanns head near StAndrews is another training site no tide dependant. Greens point is an...

There is a very active dive community in the Bay of Fundy region. Deer Island is unfortunately no longer available for diving due to a dispute with the campground owners. Hit up “Fundy Bay Divers” on Facebook or there is a group called NB divers run by CoJo. A word of CAUTION! The bay of fundy...

I did the shark dive through Media Luna a couple years ago. It was not a bad experience by any means. The pre dive briefing was very thorough and the crew was very professional. I was under the impression that they were the only shop “ licensed “ by the marine park to do the shark dives. Perhaps...

Been to Ochi, SMB x3, and St Lucia( they have an awesome dive team)

Sandals/ Beaches has an ultra conservative dive program you will be limited by the lowest certification of the group. If everyone is AOW or better they will go to an advanced site otherwise it’s a 40’ or 60’ limit. Normally around a 30 minute dive. They will call it when the first diver hits...
