    CGM and diving

    I am diabetic type 2 and use a constant glucose monitor (CGM). Before I went to Cozumel, I searched to see if a CGM works after scuba diving. I didn't find any information. I am glad to report that my FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor continued to work after 5 days of diving (2 dives per day). The...

    Wetsuit for Cozumel

    Hey fellow divers. I am joining the Scubaboard Invasion 2022 Cozumel trip next Saturday (June 18). It's been FOREVER since I have been to Cozumel. I was wondering if a 2.5mm shortie would be good. Will I be too hot or cold with that protection? I will also be wearing 7mm booties -...

    DUI Weight & Trim Classic vs W&T2

    Hello, I need to get a new weight system. I have a DUI CLX450 drysuit and use a Diverite BP&W. In order to get enough weight, I have cram the weights into my DiveRite weight pocket - which makes it very difficult to remove in an emergency. I have the option to upgrade to the larger...

    Ice Diving in North Californa?

    With the cold weather - my pool has a nice thin layer of ice on it for the past three days. It's been so tempting to try a little ice diving. You don't get to do ice diving in N. Cal too often. Too bad I don't want my new drysuit in the chlorinated water. :11:

    Diving on Jan 6-7

    Anybody diving this weekend? I haven't dove since the early December, and am itching to get back in. The swell doesn't look too bad. The weather looks clear. We will probably be diving at Breakwater to do some skill practice. Any reason why I shouldn't dive this weekend? Minh

    Gloves for Monterey

    Hello All, I currently wear Henderson Gold Core 5mm gloves when diving Monterey. My hand never gets cold with the gloves. However, the problem is that with 5mm gloves, I have no dexterity with my fingers. I am debating on going with the same gloves - but in 3mm. Anybody care to comment...

    Wireless Wrist Computer: left or right

    I just got a wireless wrist mounted computer. Just out of curiosity - how many people wear their computer on the left wrist vs the right wrist. Why? I am right handed, and tend to wear my watch (although I rarely wear one) on my right wrist. When I bought my wrist computer, the LDS put...

    My little girl lost my blue mask with yellow snorkel at Folsom Lake. :( I don't know the name of the area we were at, but it's common to do classes at this area. The snorkel was an AquaLung. I can't remember the brand of mask (ScubaPro?). I don't know if she left it in the bathroom, in the...

    Undergarmet fitting Question

    Hello All, I ordered a DUI CLX450 from Divetank. The drysuit package came with a Bare CT200 undergarment. When I tried on the undergarment, it was very loose fitting. It almost feels like I can take two inches off the torso area, and then have the leg, arm, and torso taken in to have a...
