    What is the current going rate for gear to be serviced?

    I am talking full service on BC, all regs and stages. My cost has doubled and I wondered if that was normal.

    Question on Cressi Leonardo

    I was thinking of purchasing one but read that this computer will not do the 3 minute count down for your safety stop. Is this true? Thanks.

    Thoughts on how many years we should expect our dive computers to function properly.

    I own three dive computers and all three have started "acting out". As an example, for one of them the default setting is metric, by you can change to feet. I can no longer get mine to change. It works fine in metric but won't switch to feet. I was thinking of purchasing a new model that is...

    The Mermaid liveaboard from Bali to Komodo and back and COVID-19.

    So doing a week in Bali and then going on this liveaboard is on my short bucket list. I was wondering if anyone would post their experiences with this operation when considering all of the COVID-19 mess that is going on. If would be good to know how they handled things. Thank you.

    What is "The Pub"?

    I received an alert that my post had been moved to the pub. But I have no access to the pub. In fact it does not even show up anywhere (for me anyhow). DD

    Question about product advertised on this site

    One of the board advertisers is offering a total of five spf30 face shields for $20. Does anyone know anything about this product - It seems to good to be true. I use these when fishing in the summer and that is an excellent price (assuming the product isn't garbage) Buy 1, Get 4 Free Face...

    Lets discuss these choices -

    I have been looking at the Mermaid Fleet for a potential Bali - Komodo trip. For the sake of argument: The Mermaid I is 10 days (28 dives) 3,600 euros The Mermaid II is 8 days (20 dives) 2,500 euros. So my dilemma is - should I do Mermaid I or should I do Mermaid II and use the balance of...

    Just a story.

    So I went to visit my mother over mother's day weekend. It's about a 550 mile round trip. I stopped in a small town about 45 minutes from her home to pick up one of those family meals at Kentucky Fried Chicken. She likes their meals. While in KFC I noticed that all the ladies working there had...

    Is it worth while to dive Crystal River/Rainbow Rives in the summer?

    I am considering a dive trip to Florida in July and wondered if it would be worth the trouble to stop and dive Rainbow River and or Crystal River. I understand the chances of manatees is very slim. I was just wondering if the dives at these locations were worth a couple of days. I would be...

    Shout out to Scuba Jenny

    My daughter and I visited and she gave us the underwater grand tour of the Blue Heron bridge. My computer said the underwater time was 139 minutes but it does not kick on till it passes 5 feet. It seemed like we were another 20 minutes poking round in the shallows. Anyway, an excellent time was...

    DM recommendation for Bonaire.

    I am considering taking four new divers to Bonaire. I have no issue handling a new diver one on one but would rather not handle four. Does anyone have a recommendation for a DM that I could hire (through a shop is fine) to assist with the new guys first few dives. Thanks.
