They have 2 boats, so there is a 50/50 chance I'll be on the boat with you.

Maybe I'll see you there. I fly out tomorrow am for a Blackbeards trip.

Ricksteric , I see your profile says Central MASS. If you are ever close to the cape and and to check out this setup in person let me know, it's what I use for travel to warm locations.

I have a set of the DGX ones and they seem well made to me.

I think you will be disappointed with the 60mm. To use it for macro your subject will only be around 3" in front of the lense

I've stayed at the Iberostar, and liked it. If you book your dives 2 weeks ahead of your trip, the in house dive shop gives you 20% off. Also it is very close to all the dive sites, so short boat trips.

Unfortunately you found a video on youtube, and don't seem to know what you are talking about. All those people are standing around while the shark is being rescued. You may not have noticed, but the person in the front of the boat is Greg Skomal. He is an expert on great white sharks. Also...

Every time I traveled with my steel backplate in my carry-on they would have to open it after it got x-rayed. It only took a couple extra minutes at gate, but it was worth it to not have to worry about the airline breaking or loosing my gear.

I agree. I still have the camera that I brought on my discover scuba course. Unfortunately now it seems like most divers have some sort of camera, especially bad divers. I can usually pick out the guy on the boat that will see me taking a picture and crash into me and the reef while trying to...

When I traveled with a backplate, I would remove the STA and cambands, then bolt it to the front instead of the back. I would then pack that on top of the wing in my carry on. I could fit all my gear except fins into my carry-on, including a wetsuit. My BP and STA are both steel so it was very...

I never thought of that. I only use this setup traveling, so it has always been AL80s. With the AL80, it does feel like the tank is a little loose on your back. I got use to it real quick, and it doesn't bother me. It must be horrible with a negative tank.

I'm currently in the market for free dive fins, and plan on trying them with scuba also. I want to only spend around $100. I have found several brands for that price. What I don't know is how stiff a fin I should get. I'm 5'6" ~135 pounds, but have strong legs (I run marathons). Would the same...

I use the oxycheq travel plate and 18lb wing. The setup is tiny and packs well. The soft travel plate is not as stable as a real backplate. It basically holds everything together. The tank itself acts more like a backplate than the travel plate. Because the harness just goes through two metal...

I have both, and use both!

My plan is to get 2 lights, I know 1 won't cover it. I'm actually not using a Gopro. I have an Intova sport hd2 which has a 140 degree view. Sounds like people here have experience with the Archon lights, so I think I'll get them.

It's a 2600mah battery.

I have been using one for a couple years with no problem. The air going through there is normally 130-150 psi. Water in a house is usually in the 60-100 psi range.

I'm looking at getting 2 cheap video lights. It looks like probably the Archon d11v or Brinyte div05V Anybody recommend one over the other? Thanks

I'm in the next town over from Falmouth (Mashpee). Ive dove alot at all those sites except Corporation Beach. Garbage beach is my favorite. I use to live 2 miles away. I would be down for diving any of them with you.

I did my first 50 dives without any computer. After that I decided to get a computer. At the time I was able to get a Pro Plus 2 on sale for almost the same price as a non AI computer. It is so easy to look down at the giant numbers to tell how much air I have left in the tank. Right above that...
