What would you say is the best service you've ever had on a charter boat? What about the crew, boat, ect... made it the best to you? I'm not looking for boat names or locations. "Service" could be food, drinks, snacks, ease of gearing up, ease of diving, comfort, good gear, helpful crew,ect.......

We are thinking of diving the wrecks at Scapa Flow next May-june. Any advice on dive shops, charter boats, which wrecks to see, hotels, resturants, pubs, and places to avoid, ect....... would be GREATLY appreciated.

I like the can light as well as the 250 lumen lights. I've had all of them to 220 feet and they were great. I would recommend them to anyone. Money well spent.

For about that price range you could get TWO Princeton Tec Torrent Xenons. They are OK lights. They are pretty good considering that are about 40 bucks each. They use AA batteries. They also fit in a BC pocket well. That way you have a back up. Good luck.

Anyone using the Apeks Tek 3 regulators? I've been using XTX 200's for a while but the hose routing could be better( although I've never had an easier breathing reg). The tek 3's seem to have better hose routing and use the same second stages that I have been using(XTX-50 2nds). Opinions welcome.

Bueller?.........Bueller?...............

By the time you go through all the effort to make "lift bags" from 55gallon drums, why don't you look up these guys. A 500lb real lift bag is only $165 each.(a drum will pick up about 450, so these are comparable). I have several bags from them including: pontoons, elongated pontoons, pillow...

Welcome to diving! Did you get certified in HI? I do quite a bit of instruction not too far from you. If you want to do some diving in Maine let me know, our group goes just about every weekend.

I have just bought a 1300 lumens LED can light from Big Blue. Has anyone used these lights. I bought it because the price was relatively cheap, and I needed it in a hurry far a dive later this week. I have used the Big Blue 250 lumen back up lights for a while and they seem to be well made and...

Thanks, We're diving with the tomorrow.

Are there any good online blue prints or diagrams of the Chester Poling wreck off Salem Mass.? Thanks.

Well, I hardly think I was "stampedeing" through the wreck.There were other divers coming in behind me so I didn't want to linger and murk it up for them. I agree it is a grave and should be treated with respect, but I have no problem going in for a look. I could actually see a lot better than...

Here's a little video that my friend posted on youtube of our dive. This is me going through the wreck from the forward torpedo loading hatch aft. This was the dive I posted about above. YouTube - U853 Dive

I always had turtle fins with OMS springs, but about 6-7 months ago I got a pair of Hollis F-1's, I think I like them better. They seem lighter, more comfortable, just as powerful, really good feedback for control.

What a moron. Her husband finally emailed me some pics.....I wasn't far off they are Faber 80's. I'm soooooo glad I don't have those banded together....can you imagine how heavy they must be wearing them on your back!!! LOL Sheesh... can you imagine what she teaches her students!!!

Just sent and recieved some emails on some used steel tanks i thought about buying: ME: What size, and make are the tanks? What make are the valves. HER: They are standard size, I don't know the brand, but I'm an instructor and only bought the best. ME: Are they banded as doubles, or single...

yeah, that's about what I've figured, but just trying to start somewhere.

I want to find a couple of wrecks that are depicted by the wreck symbol on the NOAA charts. I have tried to look at these wrecks on the AWOIS list but can't find them. I've looked for them by chart number and again by coordinates. I'm really tired of scrolling down the AWOIS list......it's...

Does anyone dive a latex attached dry hood? What type of beenie do you wear under it? Do you still wear a neoprene hood over it for added warmth in really cold water?

The Rocky fleece long underwear from walmart works very well as a layer. I use a poly/wool blend long underwear as inner layer, 100% merino wool long underwear middle layer and the rocky fleece as the third layer. I wear wool socks, and a pair of docker pants (they slide into the drysuit well)...
