    Dr. Samuel Miller, III

    And yet everyone shares the same feelings about Sam and how he touched their lives. What a remarkable individual in that when we were speaking or simply emailing him, we knew we were privileged. I never took that for granted - that Sam was special and he was extending his friendship, knowledge ...

    At the conclusion of a Blu3 Nomad video is a spare air being utilized as a backup to the hookah system. I thought it strange in terms of its placement. Now I know why.

    D420! How about that?

    Part of the beauty of the D420 starting with its lineage in the Pilot, was it never needed a cracking effort adjustment. Once set by the technician to your preference, the breathing is quite different than a conventional second stage. It is more relaxed and effortless. Plus based on the case...

    D420! How about that?

    Could it be that much easier breathing than the D400 I currently use? But at least they'll be service kits out there for the 420.

    Halcyon Eclipse worth the money?

    I bought an Eclipse over eight years ago with the standard harness. A year ago, the shell started fraying near the O. P. valve. A) Halcyon was still in business, didn't relocate and disappear, or sold to another company and B) Replaced the entire wing without any questions or cost - within a...

    Are expensive masks worth the extra money?

    I do mostly beach dives and have spent between $29 and $140. on masks. The mask I remember the most- the $140. I lost in rough surf . Never again. Dive gear breaks and is lost. That's what happens so why increase your financial exposure when the benefit might be minimal ? Steve

    Anyone ever use these Scuba Choice/Palantic fins?

    After years of wearing Jets, I found them too heavy for warm water, mainly beach dives. Upon recommendation of my lds, I purchased Tusa Solla's and found them "just okay" as you said. Capable but nothing exciting and certainly not, my preferred choice of fins. After reading the reviews of the...

    Which SP reg for a pony, and which to get down and very, very dirty?

    I've done the Air 2 for all the reasons everyone has stated including streamlining, but my favorite rig to date features a 40" inch under arm on universal swivel, with bungee. It just feels and works better - streamlining, better equipment performance, and the easiest ability to find and...

    Regarding Deep 6 Eddy Fins

    For me, XL Jets and L Eddy fins match. However, I have metal spring bungee straps on both and took off (slides off easily) the orange pull tab on the Eddy's for a more comfortable fit.
