SOLD! Thanks Scubaboard for the space.

Selling my Luxfer double 80s. They are in perfect shape, only dove a few times. Current hydro; will need vis. Selling because I unfortunately really have no use for them anymore since I can't dive locally. Asking $400 or best offer. Local pickup only in the greater Philadelphia area. Thanks!

I want to go back to Bonaire more than just about anything right now, but isn't the issue that US airlines are still not flying there / are cancelling flights? Plus there is still that restrictive 24hr PCR test requirement that's tricky. I'm fully vaccinated and would love to plan a trip but...

I was also there in Oct 2019 and I had wonderful weather for the most part. I think there may have been one day where the Divetech boat didn't go out due to wind, but it was really no problem because there is always shore diving (which is spectacular!). It's not as much of an issue as...

Dang! I was planning on buying some first and second stages soon. Wish I had seen this.

Small pair is now sold! Large pair is still available.

Good morning SB, I have for sale two pairs of Deep 6 Eddys in blue, size SM and L. Both are gently used and in excellent condition. Selling because I have too many fins already and I haven't really been able to use them at all this year. Both fins come with the original spring straps. I...

Check out a couple divers from Jacques Cousteau's team demonstrating at the very beginning of this clip: Look down, bend over, step / hop backwards. Easy peasy!

"Have had" is present perfect, which implies he currently owns it. If he no longer used one, he might say he "had had" one, meaning he had owned it at one point (past perfect). English can be weird sometimes.

Second this! They also have an iOS app. I don't have a Mac but I just sync my Perdix with my phone at the end of every dive day and it logs it for me.

MacDive is the best! I love being able to save many different tank configurations and have it automatically give me my RMV. It is nice to know the math behind it though. It's all just unit conversion really. :)

Very nice! Wish I had pulled the trigger on these when they were available. I figured that they wouldn't match the cans on my Kraken though. I do have some gray hoses from the scuba museum waiting for me at home so I am looking forward to putting those together.

The easiest way is of course an air-integrated dive computer like a Perdix AI, which gives you real-time data. Although it will give you the SAC rate in psi/min, so you will still have to do a little math to convert it to RMV (as it will depend on your tank size). Otherwise you can calculate...

For sure. I would be lying if I said I always surfaced with >500 psi in Coz. But you gotta be comfortable floating on the surface. I saw some people getting stressed out and sucking down their tanks when we had a 15 minute wait for the boat in choppier waters. Especially for a relatively new...

Anecdotally, I've noticed that some divers play a little bit fast and loose with the 500 PSI rule--particularly in places like Cozumel where the dive ops might not necessarily care as much as operators in the US. If one is willing to hit the surface with 200 PSI instead of 500 PSI, one could...

Unlike many in this thread, I was born a couple generations too late to be inspired by Mike Nelson and Jacques Cousteau. For me, it was James Bond. I grew up watching Bond marathons on cable and Thunderball was by far my favorite of all of them. Connery was so effortlessly cool in that film...

The thing about buying a ton of gear when you first start out is that you don't know what you don't know. I bought a lot of (very nice) gear from my LDS when I first got OW certified in 2017 because I didn't know better. And honestly it was all perfect recreational gear! Except I quickly...

Are wedges something that can easily be added to one's order? If so I'd like to add one. Sounds like it'll be helpful based on all the comments in this thread. Thanks Eric!

It certainly was a pleasure to dive! That reminds me, I still need to get myself some of those snazzy gray and/or blue silicone hoses to put another hose loop together...

Not the alcohol!! :eek: Glad everyone is safe.
