    Battery kit/o-ring size for Oceanic VEO 4.0

    Bought an Oceanic VEO 4.0 last year and need to have a spare battery/o-ring available. I have used the same kit for the VEO 180, 200, 2.0, but since the 4.0 uses a screw in back rather than the (annoying) pressure fit back I decided to check if I can use the same kit. Battery is the same...

    Seawing Supernova/Go Sport Gorrilla

    Visited Scuba.com (hard to not say leisurepro!) yesterday. Picked up a pair of the Seawing Supernova's for the wife/buddy. Man they are light! She is foot heavy so I think these will help. They didn't have the Go Sport Gorrilla's in store so I tried on a pair of the non gorilla's. So...

    Trip Report Annual pilgrimage - 5/13-20

    Annual Bonaire trip is in the books. Really great meeting up with a group we met there maybe 17 years ago! I've posted reports in the past so no need to go into detail. SCTLD and a couple of dives with East Coast Diving are the things of interest this year. We stay at The Plaza and boat dive...

    Looked down at the soap dish and it occurred to me where I had seen that color palate before ;)

    Shoulder joint replacement

    Old age and arthritis have taken a toll on my shoulder(s)... Been fighting it for a couple of years now and still have some hope for options to delay, but there is a strong probability that 2023 will be the year for a new shoulder. Ortho believes reverse will not be necessary. I believe I...

    Thirteen Lives

    We watched Thirteen Lives on Amazon last night. Quite enjoyable! I will be interested to hear cave divers opinions on it. Clearly this is a big film, not a documentary. We are not cave divers nor do I have any interest in it, but for obvious reasons the underwater filming had the viz much...

    AQUAblue?

    Anyone know anything about the AQUAblue wetsuits being sold by leisurepro (sorry, leisurepro is leisurepro, tappenzee is tappenzee ;) )? Seem to imply it is a store brand. Might give it a shot at the price for a 3/2...

    Does anyone know if there are 2 versions of the oceanic veo 4.0. Is there one for the wrist mount and another for the console? I know this was true for the older models... Thanks.

    Reef Divers Dive/Fly rules

    Hi, looking at returning to Little Cayman later this year and working out logistics. I would like to connect with the 1:10PM United flight back to EWR on the Saturday return. In order to do that comfortably we would need to take the 8:50am flight to GCM. So the question is will Reef divers...

    Trip Report Bonaire May 14-21 2022

    May 2020 pushed out to May 2021 and finally we made it 2022!! The United flight from/to Newark was half empty which concerns me if it stays that way... When I completed all of the documentation the day prior to the flight it left the health dec in pending status. A long wait call to United...

    Plastic control dial fell off a6000

    Before I dust off the gorilla glue, thought I would ask here if it matters... The other day as I was taking the a6000 out of its case the plastic control dial "cover" fell off! Looks like a simple matter of a drop or 2 of glue to put it back on, but is there anything that I should be...

    ClubMed San Salvador Bahamas

    I have reviewed this resort/location in the past so I will only post some updates here. The dive op - Seafari continues to improve. This was the first time that they clearly stated dive times up to 1 hour. When they spun off from ClubMed it was kinda unofficial, but now clearly stated...

    Medications and diving

    Hey didn't DAN have a section that you could look up a medication and it would tell you about any issues with diving on it? Can't seem to find that anymore. Thanks.

    Actual experience getting service on "internet only" regs

    So I dropped my regs off for servicing yesterday and the tech kinda looked at them and said - you know this stuff is getting kind of old and the cost of servicing could almost buy you a new setup... I'm probably not going to replace them today, but to be honest I have been thinking about it. I...

    Saba Trip Review 12/1-12/8/2018

    Just back from an exceptional trip to Saba! We stayed at Juliana's and dove with Sea Saba. Lynn at Sea Saba took care of the arrangements with the hotel, diving and taxis to/from the airport and the dives each day. We flew JFK to St Maarten to Saba. Things are still in flux at St Maarten's...
