    I paid auto and I see an alert I need to renew. Since I'm only on once in a blue moon and don't dive right now, at least show me as a supporter lol...

    DAN membership no longer providing accident insurance?

    This is what I chose to do. It was $40 per year for the SAR plan through Garmin. If I'm reading the policy correctly, the only downside is that it will only kick in if you use the SOS on your Garmin device...

    DAN membership no longer providing accident insurance?

    I was going to buy the DAN accident insurance just now, but noticed it doesn't cover non-dive accidents in country. Does anyone have a recommendation for accident insurance in the USA? Specifically, if I crash my dirt bike 30 miles from nowhere and break both legs, what will cover the cost of...

    Question What’s going on with Deep 6

    Not to revive an older thread, but after reading through, I have to echo the superior customer service from Landon and Chris. I got back into scuba a couple of years ago and outfitted with a lot of D6 gear, including regs, suits, excursion and pretty much everything else they sell. I had a...

    I also had a PayPal notice of auto-renew on August 16. I haven't been on scubaboard in a very long time, so it reminded me to pop on here and see what is happening. The ads suck, so going red again would be appreciated....

    Info How to Choose a Regulator

    I haven't been on here in quite a long time, but I appreciate this write up! I bought all new gear back in late 2020 and an article like this is helpful to people just getting into, or back into scuba.

    Catalina Island Diving

    I've got a half day to dive in the Catalina area. I arrive at 10am and have to be on some corporate meeting event at 6pm. Is there any quick single dive deals in the area that I might be able to take advantage of? I can bring my wetsuit, BPW, regs, mask, fins but would need to rent some...

    Poll: Is it Tec, Tek, or Tech diving?

    AKASO Brave 7 LE vs GoPro Hero 7/8 vs something else for my use-cases?

    When Akaso sends an email offering an accessory pack with extra battery, selfie stick and other stuff, take them up on the offer. You'll get the stuff in about a week and it's nice to have an extra battery pack for free....

    AKASO Brave 7 LE vs GoPro Hero 7/8 vs something else for my use-cases?

    Unless you specifically used the Akaso Brave, the "go-pro clone" statement is irrelevant in terms of video quality, since every camera is different. The Brave has excellent video quality for the money. The image stabilization on a boat is quite good. The Brave is half the price of a Hero 7...

    AKASO Brave 7 LE vs GoPro Hero 7/8 vs something else for my use-cases?

    I can't speak to the GoPro's, but I have the Brave and like it for my fishing video needs. It has good video quality for the money, but poor audio unless you are in very close proximity to the camera. I have not used it underwater, but if you use the housing, it should be great for video...

    Suit filed in case of "Girl dead, boy injured at Glacier National Park

    Not sure of all this litigious mess, but clearly attorneys get paid by the billable hours, so it's fair to say the more salacious and ambiguous the initial proceedings are, the more money the attorneys make, regardless of outcomes. Inconsistent initial filings that spring more questions than...

    Suit filed in case of "Girl dead, boy injured at Glacier National Park

    With only 5 dives in her history and no dives in the last few years, it's hard to know what "over-weighted" even means until you are sinking to the bottom. I can't imagine the panic she faced when she realized she couldn't go up. At that point, trying to figure out how to ditch weight was the...
