I really hope that Bottom Dwell has just forgotten to update his dive count because unfortunately there are a lot of divers who think that after 35 or so dives that they are now experienced divers. Whilst I don't mean to point fingers at Bottom Dwell that feeling can in general be a dangerous...

Bottom Dweller, the search feature wil lshow you pages and pages of results for this question that is asked in various form at least once a week. I note your statement about bieng "herded with inexperienced people", I also note that you have somewhere between 25-49 dives. Please realize that...

The original title to this was "Bungee for the recreational diver". I am as such and use one of those bright yellow rubber Bungees which I think is ideal. 1. My Octo is near my mouth for me in the event of an issue with my primary or in the event that a panicked diver pulls my primary Although...

Followup - have to give Kudo's to XS Scuba - they did get my hose out in record time and I just got my new hose in the mail with a one week turn about - Thanks

I am sure they are upset and I am sure they are overwhelmed but that is what being in business is all about. If you cant handle it then don't be in business. It is at times like this that quality companies rise to the fore and get to build and strengthen their customer base not erode it. Well...

I understand that but apparently everyone has good customer service until they dont. I certainly understand that they have a huge recall on their hands but when someone takes the time to call and explains that they need the item and would it be possible to please take my name and process my...

There have been 180 blow outs. There is nothing voluntary about this recall. When they took my money they agreed to provide me with a safe product and 180 episodes tell me that it is not a safe product. This is a blow out, not a small discoloration after 800 dives. Do we need to wait for a...

I guess you are right. Certainly will be the last time I ever look at anything related to XS Scuba and to think that I was about to purchase a set of steel from them for me and my wife.

I have a miflex hose that is subject to the total recall. I am due to fly to Bahamas for dive trip in 2 weeks and so called XS scuba to see if my recall could be expedited - they essentially told me not their problem. They would get to it when they got to it. What are my options regarding these...

Thanks - it wasn't that they couldn't or wouldn't - I was just seeing some conflicting information. Thanks for clarifying. Counting the days

Will be going to Bonaire next month and will not be using a package deal and I am having a hard time getting a firm answer as to whether nitrox costs extra when buying unlimited air outside of a package. For various reasons I have decided to go with Buddy dive but am still not sure whether or...

Thanks to all for the early information that was really helpful. The decision I made eventually was to cancel but immediately rebooked for late November and added in a couple more days to the vacation and so besides claiming a couple more vacation days I will also get to support Coz itself. I...

After bieng blown out of Cozumel by TS/Hurricane I decided to give the Keys a try and am wondering what the locals or those in the know think about conditions for the rest of this week Thanks

What are the chances that TS Rina will blow out out diving later this week or worse harm that precious island. I am scheduled to be there From Tuesday to Sunday and am worried not only about the diving but the Island in general - I know that things can change but looks like all models are headed...

Thanks all so much....It is always so nice to see how passionate everyone is about their Coz favorites.... I must admit I am intrigued by the Blue Angel description and so I might just have to try one - Will report back - Not that I am an expert on hamburgers

I will be travelling to Coz with a less than adventurous friend and while he has promised to let me introduce him to the wonders of local cuisine I ahve promised him that as a stand by or as a reward I will find him a great hamburger as well. After multiple trips I have never found the need to...

I have dived with SC in the Bahamas and really enjoyed their shark dives with Reef Sharks and while I certainly do not mean to suggest that they are devoid of risk they are somewhat love risk. I would love to dive with other sharks as well however after the Abernathy accident where a diver had...

Thanks all - I guess I was bieng a little histrionic and yes I am comfortable as a diver and I dive and know my limits. Even in Coz, though a DM is in the water with you, I still see the dive op as a bus ride to the dive site and there after I am on my own and am responsible for my own...

I have always loved diving Coz and felt that it had a special place in the diving world. I always thought that almost with few exceptions that all the dive ops were excellent, that the DM's were superb, the captains were superb and the environmetn safe however the events of late have me really...

Is there not a recall system for most dive ops - Weghts bieng clanged together - Granted the captain would have had to find the bubbles of the other group first and then keep beating the weights together - not fool proof but hopefully DM would have heard?
