    Travel gear?

    Like anything else...it depends. It depends on preference, how your going to use it and MOST importantly, how you plan on using it if the **** hits the fan. I have normal repeat dive buddies, but on the rare occasion when I don't, there is a discussion to be had. But I do this with every...

    Above and Beyond Customer Service

    My Micro HD (Older model, I am the sole owner) stopped functioning during a recent dive trip. Upon return I contacted SeaLife and they had me send it in. The made all of the repairs, changing the aging internal battery, reformatted the software and even saved the pics that I had captured...

    Best dive operation on the West Side of Costa Rica?

    I dove with Rocket Frog Divers about 10 months ago while on a work trip. I have nothing to compare them to but they are closer to some of the sites I had read about. They ran a nice operation. I did 2-2 tank dives during my stay on Pennisula Papagayo. On one of the days, I was the only...

    Teric Battery

    Do you have your AI turned off? The computer looking for a transmitter takes some power as well. Just a thought.

    Yet One More Service Thread

    On a recent trip to Cozumel, my charger quit working for my Teric. I had only changed it less than 10 times. Luckily for me, they agreed to send me a new charger. Within 2 days, problem solved! And they sent a few thank you gifts! Thank you Shearwater! I was a fanboy before, now that is...

    Feeling discouraged after my first pool dive.

    Relax. It is a continuous learning process. Everything will get a lot better. Buoyancy takes repetitions. Everything takes practice.

    Need Mask / Fin Advice for Kids

    The challenge with a mask is that they are very personal. Some masks fit some better better than others. You may have to work at the local dive shop. I 100% agree with you on buying good stuff. The entire experience will be much better. I personally like Atomic masks, but again it is personal.

    What am I supposed to react when a shark is heading towards me?

    Well over half of my dives (49 an counting) have had a shark encounter. Maybe I am just lucky! Some dives have had more than 10 in view. The more you are around them, the more you appreciate them. Try to relax. Soak in the beauty of the encounter. The sea is giving you a gift, not...

    Best place to buy a Teric?

    I actually think the $1095 is a fair price for the value. I didn't have a problem at time of purchase when comparing to other options on the market and after using it, felt like I received a bargain as it exceeded expectations.

    Guanacaste diving

    I was there three and a half weeks ago. My prior diving had been 100% Caribbean (Turks and Caicos, Bahamas, Cozumel, Antigua). I used Rocket Frog Divers and would again as well. I dove two different days (Two Tanks) of a 6 day work related trip. I did not make it out to Bat island or Catalina...

    Greetings from Eastern Iowa

    I have a trip planned in August to Cozumel. It will be a return visit as I really like it there on many levels. Value, restaurants, and of course the diving are all pretty good.

    Greetings from Eastern Iowa

    I have not been to the great lakes for diving. So far, it has basically been warm water stuff. I can see it happening someday.

    Greetings from Eastern Iowa

    I guess it is time. Aside from one silly question that I should have figured out on my own I am planning on crossing over. I am a daily lurker. I love diving. I was certified in 2016 but only did 4 dives that year. In 2017, I took my first dive trip and was hooked. Today I am sitting at 49...

    Teric SAC rate confusion

    Can you get the Shearwater Cloud to display the SAC on the chart? I recently returned from my first trip wth the Teric and have been unable to get the SAC to graph. I think if the graph would display, the difference in calculation might be revealed.
