The system starts out with the Olympus C-5050 Zoom Digital Camera, featuring: 5 megapixel resolution. Full manual and automatic controls - shutter, aperature, fully manual control, and "full automatic" modes. MOVIE MODE shoots digital movies at 320x240, 15fps, for as long as your memory...

OK, so let's solve the problem of people playing the "lawsuit protection" game by demanding C-cards, and quit driving the demand for the debasement of training. Let's get diving defined as an "activity of agreed risk" in the law of the various states, and promote a uniform waiver (under...

Ok, here's a good one. Remember the claim "training is purchased, certification is earned"? Its the "mantra" of one of the agencies out there today. Would you agree with that sentiment? I would. But is it false advertising? Good question. Let's explore this a bit. Let's posit a...

Hi folks; I'm a very active (over 100 dives in a year) diver who mixes his own Nitrox, dives into deco on purpose, does overheads, and lives in a place about to get (we hope!) an Aircraft carrier with depths that will eventually lead me to want to dive 'Mix. Ok, so which way do I go here...

Ok, here's a good one. Deco regs. High F02 mixes. All the seats I've seen appear to have been made out of nylon - even those intended for Nitrox service. Well folks, that ain't the best material for high FO2 mixes, and what's worse - maybe a lot worse - is that the HP seat orifice is...

... for my stable :) Now if its just a couple of people to dive, I can go faster and not get pounded to death :) Anyone wanna blow bubbles?

Anyone see the delicious irony in the banner ads that are running... Leisurepro.com..... ;) I like it. A lot.

The email system is totally hosed right now. DO NOT, under any circumstances, change your email address for your account here. If you do, you WILL be locked out as the "confirmation code" will never get to you! I had to IM one of the "senior moderator" folks to unlock it - I was trying to...

Is the email notification system dead? I'm no longer getting them - if the source address has changed (which I expected) they might be getting caught in my spamtrap, but I looked in the log and can't find the "catches". I've had replies posted to thread(s) that I'm subscribed to, so I...

I know that's a somewhat-rhetorical question, since we must all to some degree. But seriously, gas testing is only done every three months. While oil has a "taste", and so you have a personal "alarm", CO, as you probably know, is completely silent - and deadly, especially at depth. Ever...

http://www.shockwave.com/sw/content/madshark Note the half-bitten diver's way of swimming ;)

Are those things worthwhile? Or worthless? The price is certainly right...... Can they be set up for towing as you'd do with a Gavin? Anyone played with one? How about prop pitch adjustment - possible, or is it "on or off, no other choices"?

Anyone have any? Is this a reasonable time to hit the Keys? What kind of conditions can we expect? Any resort recommendations? We need a place that can keep a 7-year-old busy while we dive some of the days..... three of us diving, the other two (than myself) w/o much experience, so...

My Dacor is going up on eBAY (and maybe here on Aquatrader) Its just about 1" too short in the torso (I'm 5'11) but is otherwise PERFECT. That 1" is a killer and trashes my ability to kick comfortably. Otherwise though I love the damn thing, which is why I figured I'd take the chance and...

http://myfwc.com/whatsnew/03/oriskany3-st.html The Dive Miami BS attempt failed. Thank God someone saw through their games. One can only hope that the BS they ran on PADI got back to the FWC, and that this, in part, is why it blew up in their faces.

The B.S. Parade failed, and so did South Florida politics. I love it. The FWC has voted to recommend the site off Pensacola for the Carrier Oriskany - for the second time. Of note is that at DEMA, the "Dive Miami Alliance" managed to hoodwink PADI into sending an email to their pros...

Mrdeco@aol.com used to be the source... Right now he's buried in other stuff....anyone got a decent source (don't say Highland - $100 a set is outrageous) for a couple of sets of doubles bands for 72s?

As some of you know, Diver's Discount has been closing out the Dacor Dry Suits (apparently Dacor has decided to stop carrying/importing them in the US) Well, the ML size fits me perfectly - EXCEPT the boots, which are a bit too small. I'd like one size larger. DACOR is no help on a...

Ok, ok, you techies (probably) win. I just found a problem with the Vytec hoseless system that I don't think I can work around. And it has nothing to do with interference. Here's the scenario...... the transmitter resets its code when the pressure goes to zero. It then picks a random...

I've put together a set of HP100s that I intend to soak real good this weekend if the weather permits. But in the meantime, before soaking them REAL GOOD (in 100'+ of water!) I had to check my weighting, because I KNEW it would be off compared to a single tank rig. So I took the rig out...
