    Sony price drops and rebates

    So I'm looking at setting up a Sony A7S III. I noticed the price for this has dropped $300 now going for $3,498 at most retailers. Additionally there is a $100 rebate from Sony. Curiously, before the drop, the PX had that unit with a Tamron 70-300mm Lens and a second knock-off battery and...

    Memory cards for A7S III Delkin G2G?

    I'm putting together a Sony A7S III setup for video work. Will be shooting mostly 4K-60 and occasionally 4K-120. Looking at the CFExpress cards I see the Delkin brand cards at reasonable prices. Not typical cheap Chinese junk prices but enough to sway me from the familiar storage brand I turn...

    DGX PRD (burst disk) compatible with Scubapro valve?

    I have a Scubapro "pro" valve on an Scubapro/Faber LP95 from circa 1999 in need of a new burst disk. Scubapro service manual lists it as part # 01.024.011 which consists of a 3 piece kit, the bolt, the copper disk, and a plastic washer. Does anybody know if the burst disk assembly from DGX (a...

    Looking for some last minute boats for 8/24 & 8/25

    Some last minute availability came up and was looking to roll into SoCal this weekend to hit a couple dive boats to channel islands. Looks like those that have online bookings are sold out. Others have defunct web pages (California Dive Boats : The Official Page). Anybody with any shops that...

    OrcaTorch D630 and Perdix interference?

    Was looking at the OrcaTorch D630 canister light, but one of the reviews on Amazon from June 2023 mentioned that it creates RF that interferes with the transmitters used by the Perdix. The same review indicated OrcaTorch was working on a shielded cable to alleviate the problem. Does anybody...

    Questions about going to Rolock 3 on DUI Zip Seal suit

    Looking to put a Rolock 3 glove system on my DUI suit with ZipSeals. Can the Rolock be mounted to the silicone seals or does it need the latex seals to property seal? I've got a torn silicone seal that I'm replacing with the HD latex seals as I get tendon leakage around the wrist that the...

    Trimix fills for life

    Just sitting here in the hotel parking lot. On an unrelated note, does anyone know if semi-tractors have chipped ignition keys like modern cars, or would a screwdriver in the ignition work like a 97 Honda Civic?

    REI for Smartwool base layer for drysuit?

    Just got my new DUI CLS350 drysuit and was looking at the Smartwool thermals that REI has for a base layer. I've got some older long undies that I've used for activities such as hunting, but they are getting a little long in the tooth and are synthetics and not merino wool based. Smartwool Top...

    Great experience with TecDiveGear

    Went to order a backplate pad for my XDeep Zen from TecDiveGear. There’s two sizes, a large and a small, corresponding to the large and small size backplates offered by XDeep. I have a large plate but accidentally ordered a small. Didn’t realize this until after I received the item. I used...

    Gift from a friend

    A friend of mine was going through his late brother’s property and came across this that he gave to me. A “Royal Aqua Master”. I’m thinking it’d be great fun to get this thing overhauled and dive it. What’s an approximate going rate for getting this rig serviced?

    Seriously PADI, whiskey tango foxtrot?

    Went to the PADI site to see what it would cost to order a replacement c-card since the printing on mine is rubbing off. Fifty dollars!?!?!?!? Ten bucks I can see as reasonable. $20 is overpriced. But for $50 to replace a C-card, or, worse yet, to simply get a digital c-card, is...

    Anybody do lens inserts?

    Does anybody here do lens inserts for masks at reasonable rates? I've got a mask I wanted to put some Trident inserts on. The Trident lenses are good, however, their glue is garbage. I've heard that permatex has some decent stuff but I'm pretty frustrated after dealing with the Trident glue that...

    No more Chucky

    While skeletons seem to be normal sightings at the dive park locations around here, I decided to add something different. Buddy used my old GoPro 4 and I edited with DaVinci Resolve. First time doing any actual editing after going through their tutorials. Was actually somewhat fun.

    Overview and Comparison between the Deep6 Excursion and Genesis Centauri

    This is an overview and comparison of two dive computers, the Deep6 Excursion and the Genesis Centauri. These two dive computers share the same hardware, based on the Crest CR-4. All three of these units essentially function the same, however, it is the software within that primarily separates...

    Hydrographic printing on fins?

    Has anyone tried hydrographic printing on fins? Was looking at starting with a white Deep6 Eddy. Curious how well the print would hold up given the flexible nature of the fin and how they are typically handled/transported.
