    For Sale Dive Extras Sierra Scooter

    I bought this two years ago and have dove with it all of 4 times. In short, it's practically new. Scooter functions great, never any leaks or malfunctions. Only dove in fresh water of local lakes and quarries, never salt. Battery is always on trickle charger and has never had any faults nor...

    Thunder bay alpena, michigan wrecks

    I'd second the recommendations for the Grecian and the Montana. Absolutely awesome wrecks. The Grecian had an interesting propellor design with removable blades and some spare blades are still there and can be viewed in the immense cargo hold that's now a swim through. Grecian is a definite...

    Reserve Light Goes Boom

    That sounds like it is what happened. I was diving in fresh water though, so no salt to accelerate the boom. I just received the LED upgrade / replacement bulb (as referred by JBRES) from jjblomquist. All I have to say is wow! Quick shipping and his Cree 2 replacement bulb was a drop in fit...

    Reserve Light Goes Boom

    I had just changed the batteries in April and they worked fine but a slight bit dim during a UTD REC 2 class (got some DIR content in there). Typically I change the batteries at least the start of every dive season and this time I changed them again just before the class to make sure they were...

    Reserve Light Goes Boom

    After diving Sunday I had realized that my Halcyon Scout 3C had been getting noticeably dimmer, and today after getting my tanks filed, I went to check the light. It would not come on so I figured it had been inadvertently turned on in transit and it was time to change the batteries (fresh ones...

    Reserve Lights

    Mind if I ask which LED bulb you were looking at to drop in to the 3C Scout? I'm looking to switch mine over to LED and a pointer would be appreciated.

    pre fundies tips tricks?

    One tip I'd pass along is for when you're doing your valve drill. Since the center valve is right behind you're head you can sometimes over-think and forget which direction is closed, especially when your buddy does something to distract you while you're in the middle of opening or closing the...

    New Mask and Fins

    The Tilos Excel mask is very neat - frameless, low volume, great viewport and a good gripping surface for removes and replaces and its pretty darn inexpensive enough that you can buy two immediately. As to fins, the Power Fins XL work very nicely.

    Single tank DIR - 5' or 7' long hose

    I have a 7 on a single and it is no harder to manage than the 5. As others above mentioned, its a lot more convenient for air shares whether in practice or for real. When my buddy had an OOA incident the 7 worked just fine.

    Agir or Golem - Recommend a Wing for Doubles

    I'm about to continue my path down the DIR road by going to doubles. I will be doubling up my 130s. I've been looking at the Agir-Brokk 56lb horseshoe and Niord 44 ring (not sure if the niord is enough lift). Two of my dive buddies have the 56#s and like them. I've also been looking at...

    Stiff Bladed Fins

    All the paddle fins will work for the class but the paddle fins sometimes do have very different characteristics. I've been struggling with getting a working back kick this entire season wearing the Jet Fins. One of the more experienced members in my dive club mentioned issues with them and...

    DIR in North Carolina

    I finally will be in North Carolina next week. I'll be arriving in the RDU area on the 29th and in the area through July 3. By any chance are there divers going to Fantasy Lake or some other dive site after work during the week or such that wouldn't mind me tagging along for a dive?

    DIR in North Carolina

    Thanks for all the info. I looked at Fantasy Lake and it looks very good (Diving all year round and no ice -- must be heaven). I'll have to give it a go when I get into town. I hope I didn't rub anybody the wrong way. I'm so far a recreational only diver (rec pass) that will hopefully...

    DIR in North Carolina

    I'm currently in Michigan and contemplating a move to NC. As such I'm going to be in NC for a week in June, likely around the Durham/Raleigh/Chapel Hill area. How is the diving in the area, are there quarries or local lakes nearby for practice, and are there any groups of DIR divers around...

    Two Scuba divers killed by a speedboat

    I've got a float with the larger yellow inflatable ring that supports it that says "Diver Below" in big block letters. It doesn't help, we've had boaters go right over our heads at Union Lake, with some PWCs likely using it for a slalom marker.
