    Frogman drysuit first impression

    How do you like it compared the the SeaSkin? I’ve been thinking about pulling the trigger on one, but have been trying to find other options to compare it to.

    BP&W + Cold Water Drysuit Weights

    I'm not sure its fair to compare a Doubles 40 wing to a Singles 40 wing. The Single should be a lot less wide.

    Is it really a good deal and don’t buy used especially when new to diving

    If you like it, that's awesome! IIRC, the ScubaPro Hyrdros is very similar to a BP/W setup, so I would still recommend trying one of those out, along with the Hydros if you can. If you're looking to save some money, I think the Dive Rite TransPack system is similar, and might be a bit more...

    Garmin Descent MK2

    Some interesting things here... 1. I don’t know if a device that is only capable of receiving radio broadcasts is required to go through FCC testing. I assume this is required for devices that have a transmitter only. Bluetooth of course is bidirectional, while the passive scanning of a PPS...

    Nitrox certification

    The majority of the training is online, including the knowledge test, I assume similar to other agencies. The classroom portion was fairly short (starts at 6PM); semi-informal discussion and questions over the topics to make sure you understood the online material (good opportunity to ask...
