I'm just starting to get back into diving after a 15 year break and I'm curious how things have changed in the scuba industry in the last decade in a half? I started diving in 2006, stopped in 2008 and am just now getting back into it. So...what did I miss? :) I'm curious on any...

So I know the proper service interval for a reg is once every year, however, I have a question for you all. I purchased an Aeris Atmos Pro 1st and 2nd stage reg around December last year. Due to a combination of things in my life, I've only been able to dive once since then. Should I get...

I'll be heading to Caba San Lucas with my lady in May and I've been reading up as much as I can on some of the dive shops out there. Does anybody have any recommendations on who to go with, or more importantly, who to stay away from. If you dont feel comfortable naming names, feel free to PM...

I finally dove dry for this first time at Edmonds this morning! I had never dove at Edmonds so it was a tale of 2 firsts. My new Bare Nex Gen worked perfectly, albeight my slight problem with trim, but I think that will be worked out with time. It was such a nice feeling to unzip and be...

I was heading back to shore in cove 2 on Monday and I ran across an industrial battery on the bottom just east (I think) of a submerged piling. It looked like a car battery only bigger. That can't be good considering all the chemicals in battery's. If I had a lift bag I would have sent it to the...

Really is sad...does anybody have details on how this tragedy happened? Sounds like he got tangled up, I wonder why his knife or buddy didn't get him out of the lines? It happened off Salty's in Alki. He was discovered by an instructor and his student...very very sad...
