    Lake Phoenix Death

    Has anyone heard anything about the free diver that was found dead at Lake Phoenix, Virginia today? All I know is he was without a buddy and when they found him, his face was swollen.

    Atomic Cobalt 2 Upgrade...

    I like my Quad Air, I just don't think most people would buy it because it's not small and sleek. I like the idea of having the two different algorithms. It would give me a nice window to stay inside of while diving.

    Atomic Cobalt 2 Upgrade...

    Wow! That was a lot of information, thank you. It sounds like not having the bluetooth will be my only issue. That was the main thing I liked about the Pro Plus. Looks like I need to start reading up on it.

    Atomic Cobalt 2 Upgrade...

    I did my research on the Oceanic Pro Plus X and finally pulled the trigger on it before the sale price of $999 was gone. I got an email yesterday from Scuba.com saying that the Pro Plus was back ordered past 30 day so they were upgrading me to the Atomic Cobalt 2 for the price I paid for the Pro...

    7mil wetsuit for a fat guy

    That was my plan until I contacted them and found out they are out of neoprene. I think their wetsuits look pretty sharp.

    Oceanic Pro Plus X

    I went cheap on the Profile and I regret it. I like my quad air but I'd like a backup that I would have no problem using as my main computer.

    Oceanic Pro Plus X

    I wanted a console as my backup. I can't imagine not having a computer on my wrist.

    7mil wetsuit for a fat guy

    I really do run hot. From sleeping with the windows open during the winter, never wearing a jacket, and spending all of my time growing up in the bay year round for hours at a time. Since I was fine in my 5mil, in 50 degree water, I want to see how the 7mil does for me. I usually research...

    Oceanic Pro Plus X

    I currently have a Mares Quad Air and a Sherwood Profile. I have been looking into replacing the Sherwood with something a little more complex. I don't care about having a compass as I have a Suunto compass. I keep coming back to the Oceanic Pro Plus X. I like my Oceanic BC but don't know...

    7mil wetsuit for a fat guy

    I ended up talking to Terrapin for a 7mil. Once I get more dives in it sounds like a dry suit is the way to go.

    7mil wetsuit for a fat guy

    Thank you for all of the information! I can tell being part of Scubaboard is going to hurt my wallet...

    7mil wetsuit for a fat guy

    Yeah I just started working out, before I tore my tendons, and lost 26 pounds the first month. I've always been able to drop 30-50 ponds at the drop of a hat but it also comes back quick. I honestly don't know anything about drysuits. Are they fitted or do you just get something "off the rack"...

    Confused on my first custom wetsuit purchase from "WETWEAR"

    I actually like the wetwear suit so much I was talking to Connie about buying a 7mil. I have zero problem with the price of my invoice, I have an issue with not being informed that they were adding $215 in things without a single word. I was getting very fast email replies until I had a question...

    Confused on my first custom wetsuit purchase from "WETWEAR"

    I will always be willing to pay more for great level of service. Being an electrical estimator and project manager I get people all the time that say my prices are high but they still go with me because they know I'll do whatever it takes to keep them happy. I also take the time to tell them how...

    7mil wetsuit for a fat guy

    I'm 6'1" and yes those measurements are correct. My ideal weight is right around 250. Any less than that and I start looking like I'm sick and frail. Unfortunately I'm on a medication that made me gain 100 pounds in a single year. I don't have a problem with cost as long as there are no...

    7mil wetsuit for a fat guy

    Oh no i'm fat. My Akona is a 5xl which is a little roomy. I figured I would need to give my measurements to someone and pay a fortune for it.

    7mil wetsuit for a fat guy

    I have a 5mil Akona wetsuit that caters to the more "robust" people. I'd like to find a 7mil custom suit that will have leg and arm zippers but I don't know where to begin looking. I was reading all of the wetsuit threads but they seem to be about off the rack wetsuits. For everyone's amusement...
