    Accident at Lake Rawlings Sunday 05/27/2012

    Wow, A lot of speculation and finger pointing. The law will figure who is at fault. SSI, PADI, NAUI.. the OW limit is 8 students to 1 instructor and no DM is required. The addition of a DM will usually up the limit to 10 to 1 as long as the DM is current with their organization and is cayying...

    Scubapro C300

    Well, here's an update on the MK11/C300. I got one and the lever design is simple like the 650. The only issues after putting 35 dives on this thing is that it whistles underwater and there is a spot while breathing that it feels likes it pops and starts to breath easier (darwing in hard on...

    OMS Featherweight

    Well apart from the OMS bashing, I thought this is about the OMS featherweight. Here are some stats. A friend saw it at Beneath the Sea this weekend and yes it's 1680 nylon, weighs in at 5 pounds and only has a single tank strap. I do agree the wings are gi-normous for a travel BC once you get...

    Question about Aqualung Titan and water temperature

    steffi, The MK25/G250V is a top notch regulator, if you buy from leisure pro you will NOT have the free parts for life program that ScubaPro offers. I have no idea if leisure pro has the same type of program but the price from them may offset a vew service visits to the local shop. Even if...

    Question about Aqualung Titan and water temperature

    Rivers, Aqualung North America recommends you not use it in water colder than 50 degrees as it may freeze up. If it is an LX it will have the ribbed heat exchanger on the 2nd stage. It would help you out to install the Enviro kit as mentioned as it will give you a better edge against the cold.

    Aruba - beware of Pelican/Unique Sports of Aruba

    Wow, that sucks! but riddle me this batman. If you were 300 yards away who was not paying attention to the group and where they were going. I mean you didn't say that anyone else was 300 yds away. As for a disorganized dive, most folks who dive once or twice a year in the tropics are more than a...

    Diving the North Carolina Wrecks part I

    Hi all, Seems Discovery Diving is more into the $$$$ instead of what we wanted to dive, I requested the U352 on 4 Sept and Debbie decided to change the intnerary in 26 Sept 2009 since a shop in Delaware reserved 11 spots. Even theough their site said U352 for 17 Oct 09, Hence their site info...

    race890 - Sherwood is on series run "K" at this time, I know they had C, D, E, F, G series as well. I would venture to say they have knocked out the problems, but they took a lot crap in the process. I think they learned a valued lesson from it. your call. I still use one and it does the job...
