I just purchased a ML 5mm W-1. When the suit is on, it feels snug, but not overly tight. However, I am having a hard time doffing the wetsuit. I can't get my shoulders out, which makes it hard to get my arms out. Could it be that I need to go up to a large? I do have wide shoulders. I am...

I am interested in getting the new Fusion Boots installed on my Fusion, but I am trying to figure out what size I should get. Currently, I wear size 10 shoes, and bought size 12 booties to go over the socks of the Fusion, but these seem a little loose. However, when I tried some Bare drysuit...

I dove my N2ition 3 this weekend and turned it on before entering the water. Upon entry the computer seemed to work fine, but then at 20ffw, the screen was quick flashing, remained in surface mode, and would not respond to button presses. After 20 minutes the computer starting a constant...

I have a boot on my aluminum 80 and would like to get it off. What is the best way to do that?

I recently got my full cave cert and would be interested to find any swampers out there that would like to practice line drills, s-drills, valve-drills, and generally just dive so I can stay frosty on the skillset.

Does the N2ition 3 give you any sort of leeway on the depth of your stops? For instance, if I have a stop at 10 feet, will the timer stop if I drift down to 11 feet? I know going to 9 feet really makes the computer angry, but I would think 11 feet should clear the deco, just maybe not as fast.

This weekend I was doing a lot of valve drills and after my shoulder was achy and my hand was a little tingly. This started when I removed my gear. This would have been alarming to me but it was just a 90 minute dive to 27 feet, also when I took my anti-inflammatory prescribed to me by my doc...

I am thinking about purchasing a N2ition 3 for my full cave cert class. All of my deco dives have been on tables, with my Oceanic VT Pro in gauge mode. But I was considering getting a N2ition 3 for my primary computer, then using the VT Pro as a backup computer. I realize the VT Pro does...

I would just like to give a big thumbs up to Dennis for helping me out on my upcoming full cave class. He took the time to answer my questions and help me find an instructor, even though he was booked. I took my cavern course with him and highly recommend him. Thanks again Dennis! And I...

How do I get to the forum rules? And I mean more specifically, general forum rules, not rules for say Advanced Scuba Discussions. Also, what is the etiquette on posting links to other sites discussions? For instance, let's say the Deco Stop pretty much covered the same question that was...

Does anyone have any information on the Mammoth lake cave system? Is this like the Athens "cave" system?

I was wondering what the general feeling is on mask lights? I was thinking about getting a low wattage cheap light for reading gauges, slates, and generally seeing close up stuff without blasting my eyes by using the primary. The pros I can see are ease of use, not blinding myself, and...

I recently switch to a Fusion and when doffing I have noticed quite of bit a droplets in the suit. I mean enough to where some of the folds had a teaspoon of so of water. My guess is just that it is condensation as it is fairly even throughout the suit and my undergarments will generally...

I am rigging a harness and I was wondering what is better when the slide is used to make a loop that will be weight bearing? The delrin or SS slide? I am not going Hog harness, so please limit the discussion to whether delrin or SS is better. If neither can handle the weight, then I will have...

How much does White's charge for installing a P-Valve on my Fusion? Is it worth it to send the Fusion back to White's for this? Where can I get repair patches if I decide to install one on my own?

I recently got back from doing 20 dives in cave country wearing the Fusion with Tech Skin. These dives put the Fusion through the wringer as it got dragged over rocks during some visits to Ginnie and a little bit of rock climbing at Edwards. At first I had some fear that the suit would get...

Anyone know the buoyancy difference I could expect between a alum 80 and steel LP108? I have always been in a wetsuit with the doubles and sunk like a rock, and I now have a drysuit. I will obviously be doing a buoyancy check with all my equipment before my dive, but I would like to get in the...

I tore a calf muscle two days ago and I am trying to figure out how to do my kicks until I heal up. I was thinking of trying out a frog kick with just one leg and use the other to steer and deflect the wash from the good leg. I have done this before in open water when I had a leg cramp, but...

I recently tore my calf muscle. I felt the "pop" as if someone hit me in the back of the calf with a softball. I can still move my foot up and down and there is no bruising, but slight swelling. My primary doctor ruled out achilles tendon, but wants me to go see an ortho doc and get an MRI...

I just picked up Bare XCD2 and it seems to be pretty good, but I have some quibbles and I was wondering it I just need to order a custom one. The thing with this is that I got a great deal on it, so part of me want to tough it out. However, the store is great in that they are letting me try it...
