    Free descent help!

    A little late to this thread but I remember our first outing after being certified we spent one dive just practicing descending and ascending over a 30 foot dive platform. Like most things it just takes practice.

    At what point should I get diver insurance?

    When my wife and I were certified our dive shop encouraged us to at the minimum join DAN, so our first year we just paid for the basic membership which includes the awesome magazine and I think limited insurance. The next year we upped our insurance to the master plan since some training we...

    Wisconsin Inland Lake Diving

    Sometimes dives don't go so well. Thought this lake might be a nice, shallow, easy entry. Boy was I wrong. This lake should have never made my list. The Visibility was horrible. Dive Site: Mauthe Lake Location: Fond du Lac County Lake Depth: 23 feet Visibility: 3 feet Of course there...

    The Scuba Van

    This is so true. I must admit I got the idea from one of our local dive shops that leases a private quarry. They built a pavilion, have benches to sit on and set up gear, fire pit always going, and a grill. There are so many dive sites in the middle of nowhere and it just seemed like a great...

    The Scuba Van

    Wow. A lot of comments to respond to. Already on order from etrailer.com. Thanks. Not so sure about the "good carpenter" bit, but I do what I can. I did. The propane tank is in a sealed propane box that vents to the outside of the van through the bottom. Propane is heavier than air so...

    The Scuba Van

    I bought my wife a new van and decided to take the old 2005 Toyota Sienna and turn it into a dedicated scuba van. Had it out memorial weekend for the first time. Will need to make some changes and address the suspension. I will take some video of it later. 4 tanks on each side on slides...

    Profile Diving Drysuit

    When we bought my wife a drysuit we reached out to DRIS for options via email. I had asked about the DRIS ProTech Bilam but we were steered away from it. My wife ended up with a USIA Aqua Pro plus. When I asked for more information about the ProTech DRIS replied "we do not have much more...

    How bad of a scuba gear hoarder are you?

    My wife thinks I have a problem when it comes to buying tanks. I just bought a pair of Heathways lp72s from 1966. Waiting for a fresh hydro.

    No depth gauge just computer?

    That is the XS Scuba Depth Gauge Module still sold today. When in Jamaica we noticed that the rental gear used a similar module in the counsel.

    Female fins for frog kicking

    My wife can frog kick in her sewing nova fins but we are going to be looking at a shorter fin for her for the next dive season. I currently use the Scubapro Go Sport fin which I almost exclusively frog kick in. Could be a little stiffer and heavier but has got the job done for me. I...

    No depth gauge just computer?

    I think you got your answer. I think a better question is are you looking to ditch the counsel and just use a wrist computer with a standalone SPG or as @CuzzA suggested go all-in with AI computer?

    Been busy diving

    Nice. What made you order the FLX instead of the cf200x with all of the wreck diving you do.

    Broken Halcyon DSMB

    Thanks. I might try that. Thanks. I might give the DGX Bladder Flange Assembly a try on my next order seeing I see their dump valve fits the halcyon dsmb.

    Broken Halcyon DSMB

    Greetings All, I have been using a used Halcyon DSMB. While I don't currently have a need for it since I pull a dive flag around with me, I still deploy it on one dive. Unfortunately, I had a failure at the overpressure relief valve of the DSMB. I am not sure what the technical name is, but...

    Looking at getting a dry suit

    My wife and I moved over to drysuits this season and we will not turn back. We originally planned to take a drysuit class but with Covid, this was not a possibility. Here is the thread I wrote about our experience learning drysuits without an instructor. My Drysuit Experience w/o Course
