    Canon S90 in Canon WP-DC35 Housing: First impressions

    Well, I finally got the Canon housing in for my S90. Now I have to decide if I want to keep it, or exchange it towards the Ikelite housing instead. Here are my overall impressions: This housing is better made than I recall from my prior Canon housing, several year ago. Not as sturdy as the...

    XS Scuba Spring Straps, Trade Size L for Size M?

    I have ended up with a size L pair of XS Scuba Spring straps. They're used... I'm told. The condition is fairly flawless. I need a size M spring strap, of course. I like the XS Scuba ones a lot, so that's the kind I'd like to stick with. Anyone up for the trade? I'd also consider...

    HP80, Worthington or PST

    I'm in the market for one, perhaps two HP80's, for my newly-certified wife. Worthington preferred, but I'll consider PST. L.A. area only, I don't want to ship (unless the price makes it worthwhile), so it needs to be local. Anyone have any extras they'd like to get rid of? For that matter...

    Best shore diving PLUS non-diving topside in exotic location?

    So my wife is finally certified. YAY! Now we're planning an exotic vacation that will include (but not focus on) scuba, probably about two weeks in late December/early January 2010. The biggest problem is that she is violently seasick. Seriously. 10 minutes on a boat in placid waters, and no...

    Apollo Bio-Fin Pro XT C-series (with Spring Straps) size LL

    $210 at LeisurePro, get yours for $150 from me! I'll throw in free USPS shipping within the continental US. Fins are in great shape. They have the normal scuffs from the approx 50 dives I put on them, but natural rubber fins could very well outlast your entire diving career! Very minor...

    WTB: OxyCheq Mach V (30#)

    My wife is finally getting certified next week, so it looks like I'm going to need a spare wing after all. Anyone have an extra laying around? I don't particularly care if it's the new style (cam band slots) or not as we'll be using a STA anyway.

    Hose Routing for MK17?

    This came up this past weekend, helping a bud setup his two sets of regs for use on doubles for the first time. I realized I've never actually done the routing with MK17, and at the time, in the field, I wasn't able to find the photo I had once saved. (I thought I had it saved on my iPhone but...

    WTB: Housing for Sony TRV950 (Top Dawg II, L&M, others?)

    I'm toying with the idea of dabbling with video, but funds are kind of restricted right now. (Yes, I know this is something of a contradiction!) I have a Sony TRV-950 3ccd miniDV camera I can put into service, but I'd need a housing for it. A little old, yes, but still a high quality SD...

    Steel Pointer Stick/Tank Banger?

    I saw a few of the DMs during my recent trip to Thailand who were carrying solid stainless steel rods, for use as pointing sticks, tank bangers, and bracing (support) for pushing against the wall to help hold position without having to touch the wall. They were also marked to use as a measuring...

    Thailand- DIN or Yoke?

    So I'm headed to Thailand tomorrow. Yay! Lots of touring, then to Phuket on the 19th. Suddenly it occurs to me my regs are all DIN. I have a yoke adapter, but do I need to bring it? What's the norm over there? I might have time to swing by the shop and borrow their wrench to convert my...

    Travel Weight

    (very little traffic in the Thailand forum, so perhaps I'll re-try this post here...) How do you do it? :confused: I'm traveling to Thailand in 3 weeks, and bringing some gear for some diving. Thai airlines has a weigh restriction of 44 lbs for checked luggage. I just bought a handy...

    Travel Weight

    Oy. How do you do it? :confused: I'm traveling to Thailand in 3 weeks, and bringing some gear for some diving. Thai airlines has a weigh restriction of 44 lbs for checked luggage. I just bought a handy little luggage scale. I figured I would bring the minimum gear possible (it...

    Best Regulator Bag for inline first stage regs?

    Anyone have a recommendation for a good regulator bag for a set of regs with an "inline"-style first stage? I recently picked up an Aqualung Calypso and I'm having trouble finding a good reg bag for it. Hard to write out the dilemma, so I guess a picture speaks a thousand words: As you...
