Hi @SaltyKSue. Utila is a different Part of the world! Well worth visiting at least once. I think four days there will give you a good feeling for whether it's your kind of place or not. There is a ferry from Roatan to Utila once a day at 2pm and from Utila to Roatan once a day at 10am, I can't...

So... we did our first dive this morning off the shore at Riu Guanacosta, and the coldest we got at 50 feet was 81f. A 7mm is over kill! Lots of white tip reef sharks, eels, rays and fish, no coral anywhere. It's all rock outcroppings. Still enjoyable though. Two more dives tomorrow, hopefully a...

Thanks guys, that does help. The possibility of seeing Mantas is driving my wife to want to brave the colder water! I think she is leaning towards renting a 7mm suit from our local dive shop for the week.

Hi all, I'm heading down to the same region at the same time. What is the average water temperature down there at the end of December? I can find beach readings, but no dive depth estimates. I'm waffling on bringing our dive gear with us, as my wife and daughter won't want to dive if the water...

So I came down to Utila with my Daughter and her boyfriend as she is moving here for 5 months to do her Advanced to MSDT internship with Utila Dive Center and I wanted to make sure they made it here and got settled in ok. It was a 1and a half day long trip from Ottawa to get there, but worth...

I just spent the last week with Utila Dive Center in Honduras, and couldn't be more impressed. I was just fun diving but my daughter started with them for advanced through MSDT internship. They are very professional and thorough. The only questions would be if you could live the Utila lifestyle...

So, I am here in West End for my one day in Roatan, and I am glad I took the cab ride out here. Ended up staying at the Bay Side Hotel across the street from Sundowners Bar and Grill, clean and conveniently located. What a pleasant part of the island! It is a bit strange getting used to all the...

I dont know about Ivy Lea, but Brockville and Prescott were 74-75f this weekend.

I believe that on the first stage, if you can see the hexagon adjustment screw, it is not a cold water version. If the adjustment screw is covered by a silicone diaphragm than it is a cold water version(supreme) This seems to be how aqualung and, even before, Us Divers handled the sealing of the...

Those damn squirrels! I guess I need a new cat. @Marie13, That is what I am trying to figure out, I don't recall putting any stress on the zipper when trying on the suit, but maybe I did. The suit is quite heavy, and I was concerned that hanging from the shoulders was not the correct way to...

@Miyaru when you say this cant be repaired, do you mean fixing this zipper. I assume the zipper can be replaced. I wouldn't even consider trying to fix this one.

Hi All. I think I just broke my new to me drysuit zipper by hanging it off the floor with the zipper open. I bought a used Bare XCD2 drysuit for a very good price and went over it meticulously checking the seals, and zipper and inflating it and soap testing the seams and zipper, all good. I hung...

Ah, ok. I understand. Thanks for the clarification.

@Scared Silly, could you elaborate on why these tanks are not a good idea. I was just given two of them, and plan on using them for pool and shallow/short dives with students if they pass hydro and visual inspection. My HP 100's are too much tank for these tasks. Edit: so some further research...

Thanks @EvilOtter, I would prefer to be close to the bars and restaurants for this overnight. I don't want to be cooped up in a remote area for the afternoon. Got to get out and see what's there.

@Hoyden: day drinking was the plan for that afternoon! thanks for the recommendation. It looks like the hotel isabel is within stumbling distance from the sundowners bar, does anyone know anything about that hotel? Thanks @EvilOtter for the condo suggestion, are there any bars/restaurants close...

Hi All. I am traveling to Utila at the end of November for a week of diving but need to return to Roatan the day before my departing flight. I am looking for suggestions for a decent hotel to stay at in Roatan for that one night preferably close to the ferry terminal and airport. It doesn't need...

Welcome aboard Jatinder. For local (St. Lawrence river ) diving keep an eye on the Kanata Diving Supply website for thier summer diving schedule. They go out on Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays through the summer.

Hi stoneshirt. A picture of the reg would be handy to maybe get the right instruction. But usually the slotted adjustment in the hose connecting port adjusts the cracking pressure, turn the slot counterclockwise untill it flows. And the hex nut inside compresses the seat spring, turn clockwise...

Do I have to close this thread? Or ar you two going to get along now...:wink: @divad. The ventury lever will do nothing for a regulator that free flows due to low cracking effort. They are two separate systems within the regulator. I know what your saying though, we have all seen divers fighting...
