    there are also several companies that are making stick on lenses in different magnifications that you can buy and apply to your regular mask. I hv a set of 3+ Im going to put on my mask so I can read my gauges and dive computer.

    Review / trip report Rainbow Reef Dive Center, Key Largo FL

    Glad you posted this. When I do research on a product or item etc, I always read the negative reviews as well as the positive. I look for details and articulate information and it very often saves me headaches. I try to be honest in all of my posts and reviews and this is why. The devil is in...

    Aqualung Calypso III

    I have a Calypso III first and second stages and it looks NEW. You can see some very slight indicator on the second that it was actually used but the first stage looks fresh out of the box its a beauty but it only has two ports one high and one low.....

    Certification Prices

    Everything cost more in NY. I paid 495 for my OW but it included everything but personal gear(mask fins boots and snorkel) and I have to say the instruction was top notch! plan to continue training with them for a few more classes after I work my way thru Xmas. To clarify, all of the other gear...

    Weights

    true enough, I have already purchased enough to dive in fresh water, have to get a bit more to dive in salt water. IDK, im just one of those DYI kinda guys that would rather spend money on the good stuff. I have two tens I am cutting in half and they are close/accurate enough I will use them as...

    Weights

    I just think its ridiculous to pay the prices they charge for weight. it should be the cheapest thing you buy but because it used for Diving the price gets inflated. Im looking for any safe alternative that works. I have sources of lead and a weight mold so i can make my own but its a PIA.

    Weights

    thats what i said, I havnt seen any with lead shot bags in them, all of the ones i have seen were sand or some other material.

    Weights

    I spoke with a friend this week who is a muscle diver about weights. He said to cut up old ankle weights and stick them in your BC pockets. In my experience, most ankle weights are sand bags. has anyone tried this and if so, how well do they work?

    Tech fins?

    I have Zeagal Recons and I love them, they are great for a regular paddle kick but also shaped well for the frog kick and flutter kicks and all of the other little alternative kicking styles people use. they are a very nice fin. I am very happy with them. When you get aggressive with them they...

    Try and Buy?

    I used several different BCs in my training and didnt like any of them. A couple of my instructors were pretty forthcoming about what was good and not and why they liked the things they used. That helped a lot along with some independent research, and one of them let me try regs in the pool and...

    Regulators: Best Value x < $600 ex. Dive Rite, Deep 6, DGX, HOG, etc.

    The regs i want are so high I bought some cheapos for a stop gap until i can buy what i want. I got the Divers Supply house brand Sea Elite.
