    Trip Report Turks and Caicos - Beaches

    Hi everyone, Time for another trip report from @The Turtle Whisperer and myself, this time from our recent trip to the Beaches resort in Turks and Caicos. As with most of my prior reports, I'll get the advanced notice out of the way now: this report is for a vacation with diving, not a diving...

    Trip Report A Plethora of Firsts

    Last week was a first for the Mrs. and I on many, many levels as - should you choose to read on - you'll see in this trip report. When the Invasion to Cozumel was announced last year, and it happened to more-or-less coincide with the 50th bday of yours truly, it was a no-brainer. We were...

    Question AA 1526 out of MIA anyone?

    Anyone else going to be on the 12:04PM out of Miami on Saturday and want to get the party started early? If so, perhaps we can meet up and coordinate (even better if you've experienced Coz before...our first time :wink:). We're connecting in from LGA but can meet up at the gate or elsewhere...

    Trip Report Sandals St. Lucia Grande

    Hi all - Mrs. and I are fresh back from 9 days at the Sandals St. Lucia Grande and I figure a follow-on to the report I wrote for their Grenada site back in early 2020 is in order. First off, and to get this out of the way: this report is for a vacation with diving, not a diving vacation. If...

    PT-059 o-ring

    Hi all - Just looking for some quick verification on the PT-059 housing I have for the TG-6 … it uses the same o-ring as the PT-058 housing? I’ve seen some sites list them both on the replacement o-ring, but others don’t. TIA!

    Wanted Freedom Plate, Small SS / 23# VDH wing

    Hi all, I'm chalking this up to "in the realm of hitting the Powerball odds", but zero chance if I don't throw it out there... The Mrs. is tired of watching my perfect trim (riiiiight....) in my sexy Freedom Plate/VDH combo and wants her own. Understanding both suppliers are in a 'stop...

    Aldora's steel tanks - brand/weight?

    Hi everyone - I'm starting research on a potential first Coz trip and am looking at Aldora due to their steel 100/120s. For a relative air hog like me, that'd be a Godsend. :) Question tho'...anyone know what brand they use or how much they weigh in the water? I'm diving a SS Freedom Plate...

    Compact video light options?

    Hi all - I’m considering adding a video light to a TG-6 / single Inon S2000 rig, but have no idea on what would be a good option, either on a to-be added second arm or more ideally perhaps in the cold shoe. Any experts here care to offer up recommendations. Not much of a budget restriction...

    Recommendations for first Coz trip?

    Hi everyone - I need a schooling please on diving Coz. I have it on a short list for a 2022 trip but have never been. Background: wife and I are AOW with (by next year) about 75 dives under our integrated weights. We are fully kitted so only need tanks/weights. Don’t need to pinch...

    Props to Deep6 (specifically Bert)!

    I wanted to share a quick story of my latest interaction with the Deep6 crew. My wife, daughter, and I were due to finally head down to Key Largo for some diving last week. This was to be my daughters first dives after certification, so we were all very excited needless to say. It had been...

    Argonaut 23# wing - changing inflator hose

    Quick question - picked up a 23# wing, but when I received it the inflator hose seems a bit on the short side. I ordered up a 19" hose and, if the above is true and I need to swap it out, is there anything special I should know in order to change them? Or is this something to leave in the...

    Check my shopping cart - BP/W harness components

    Hi everyone, I'm taking my first dive *insert rimshot here* into a BP/W setup now, and only have the harness left to buy. Here is what I'm thinking will make for a complete package, however, I'm resisting pressing the Checkout button without some expert confirmation. Any help is much...

    Any existing Adventure Aquarium volunteers?

    I'm wondering if there are any current volunteers at Adventure Aquarium in Camdem, NJ on the boards here? My wife and I are considering putting in an application now that we are empty nesters, but would like to see if we can get a better idea of what the routine is before filling out the forms...

    Freedom Plate / Deep 6 wing compatibility?

    Has anyone set up a BP/W using a Freedom Plate and a wing from Deep 6? I have the former - size medium - in the mail right now and am in the market for a wing. While I'm leaning towards the recommended VDH wing, I'm also a fanboi here of Deep6. If it's compatible and someone has made it work...

    Which spool to attach transmitter to HP hose?

    Hi all, Just received a new (to me) Perdix AI and will be installing it on a short hose to my first stage. The question I have is what spool should I be using? My only other experience with AI was on my Suunto Vyper Novo which came with the spool/flow restrictor as part of the recall update...

    Best software to match to Perdix AI?

    I drank the KoolAid and have a Perdix AI on it's way to me as I type. :yeahbaby: What is the best available software/app (I'm on an iPhone) to match it with for managing dive logs electronically. I'll still keep the paper logs as it's a nice little ritual with my dive buddy a.k.a. wife after...

    Review - Sandals Grenada

    Now decompressing from a week and change at the Sandals resort in Grenada, I thought it might prove useful to someone to give a quick review of the resort and, for purposes here, the dive operations and experience. A few words as a foreward. This review is coming from an inexperienced diver...
