Hello All, I am going on a dive trip to Baja, Mexico from around mid May 2024. I was curious what thickness wetsuit most people would use at this time? What is the water temp usually and what is the thermocline temp? The trip is planned on spending 3-4 days in each of LaVentana, LaPaz and Cabo...

I am currently planning on a dive trip to Bonaire late September to early October 2023. I have never been out of the country (USA) for diving and mostly dive in New England. I am looking for advice on a few things…as well as anything else you think might be good to know. 1. What gear should I...

So I am just about to order a DUI Flex Extreme HD drysuit for the sole purpose that they offer a 25% off discount for law enforcement. But I was wondering if this was the right choice, it is still a lot of money. Would the Santi E. Motion Plus be a better suit overall? Santi E. Motion Plus or...

I am trying to decide between Apex RK3 Fins and Apex RK3 HD Fins and would appreciate some insight….or if there is a better fin out there please let me know. I currently dive mostly in New England. I use a S.S BP plus single tank adapter with integrated 6 lb weight and only 2 additional lbs of...

Quick Question: How many more pounds would you use with a Steel 120 vs with a Steel 100 to factor in the slightly more buoyant properties of the 120 toward the end of a dive? Explained: A buddy is letting me hold onto his Steel 120’s as he is a CCR diver and never uses them, so I gave them a...

Does anyone have experience with using the Flip7 from Backscatter specifically the macro lens and colored filters? I was very close to submitting an order but every video on YouTube the filters make the video look awful and completely red/dark. Every single video review is like that. Would I...

How many lumens do I actually need with a GoPro7 for UW Video in New England waters, mostly at 50-60 feet down to around 100 feet. I don't plan on sticking with the Gopro forever. I was thinking two 8k lumen BigBlue lights but that’s $1,500. Would I be better off just getting either: Two...

I bought a Cressi XS octo last year for about $80 because it was the cheapest one I could find after dropping thousands on all my other new gear and I figured I would almost never use it (not the best mind set, I understand that). I was given the chance to buy a 4yr old AquaLung ABS octo today...

I am looking to buy two Steel HP100 tanks but I am torn between going new or used. If I go new, I would go Faber so I think this is around $650-700. Do I have to then pay hydro and service on top of this price or are they good to go when I get new tanks? If I go used, I can probably find them...

Looking to buy a Snake River Prototyping (SRP) dive tray mount for GoPro. Please Direct/Personal Message me with information and a picture(s). Thank you!!

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew of any macro lens' for the GoPro that allow for +10 or +12 magnification...it may not be a thing for a GoPro lens but I thought I would ask. If there is, which one is best? I have been looking at the Switchblade 7 from PolarPro but it is a +5 (which is...

Hello all, I am hoping for some advice with low vis, high backscatter photography in New England cold waters. I only use a GoPro7 (no lights) on 1080p 60FPS, I might try 120FPS (I take stills from video as it is easier with GoPro). I got some really nice photos a week ago in New England on a...

Looking to buy 1-2 Steel 100 HP tanks in the New England area. I would prefer tanks that are not too old, regularly serviced and hydro tested. I would prefer DIN connection or a DIN adapter but a Yoke is not a deal breaker, I can always switch it. Please send pictures of tanks, engravings, and...

Hi all, I was looking for some advice on the AquaLung Legend Lx Supreme that was I think last year’s model but has since been discontinued by the company in favor of the Leg3nd series. What are your thoughts on purchasing used regulators in which warranties will no longer be honored due to...

Hello! I am fairly new to diving and was hoping you all with far more experience and knowledge would be able to help me out. I have a few questions. One is, which company has better quality gear and warranty should anything happen when it comes to BP/W, OMS or Halcyon Dive Systems? I have been...
