The one thing I do not care for with my Hollis HD200 is the cam band. It functions and is certainly adequate, but I would like to swap it out for metal catch and clamp style like the Aqualung or Scubapro. I am wondering if anyone has done this swap or can tell whether or not it even can be done...

I think a fire at Allegro took out the capability of producing Nitrox and thus the Pro Mexico dive op at Occidental Grand is only able to provide plain air. Anyone have any more accurate information regarding the availability of Nitrox at Occidental Grand. TIA Mark

I have a Magnahelic Gauge and IP Pressure gauge setup from Scuba Tools mounted on a Scuba Tools stand. It comes with adapters for various brand hose connections. It also has the universal mouth piece accessory for checking cracking pressure. This setup is in virtually new condition having been...

I have generally been in Cozumel, in late April and early May each year. We are thinking of going down in January this year but am wondering about weather, particularly the “Norte” issue in January. Are we likely to experience these events (Norte) during January? TIA Mark

I have been diving in Cozumel for several years and during dives on the southern part of the reef I keep running across an very old anchor which I believe is from the 1700 or 1800s. This thing is laying upright against at ledge and I think is on the south end of the Bricks. I have been asking...

Anyone changing their own battery on the D6i Novo? I know the Battery is a Hi-capacity 2450, but is the O-Ring the same as the D6i? TIA Mark

While I enjoy diving, my wife does not dive and spends a lot of time by the pool. Can anyone tell me if Turquoise Bay Resort in Roatan has umbrellas by the pool that she can use with a lounge chair? I see in videos there are the grass hut things on the beach and there seem to be a couple of...

Apparently these cannot be shipped to the U.S. from the EU. Is there a way I can purchase them here in the U.S.??

I attempted to purchase the plexiglass shields for my D6i last week and was told by the store in GB they could no longer ship Suunto products to the US. Anyone know why this is the case or better yet how I could lay hands on more of these shields? I want the plexiglass shields as the smaller...

Just finished 6 days of diving in Bonaire. I estimate viz varied from 50 -70 feet most places and got down to maybe 30 or so feet on one dive. I was there in January of this year and the first day of diving I had pretty typical visibility and it seemed to decrease as the week went on. Dive...

I understand from Analox they will be making replacement sensors for their CO analyzer through 2016. I am wondering if anyone has found a replacement sensor for these units other than Analox since it would seem their CO testers will not be functional beyond 2018 assuming a person purchased a...

I am considering a trip to TBR next February and am wondering what surface conditions I might expect at that time of the year. I'm pretty susceptible to seasickness, and surface intervals much longer than fifteen or twenty minutes in much more than 2-3 foot seas can be uncomfortable for me...

My eldest daughter and I enjoyed diving until her passing this year because of breast cancer. Her favorite place to dive was Cozumel. I have an urn with some of her ashes and would like to place the urn somewhere on the reef. I am guessing this is not an ok thing to do, but does anyone know what...

I need an O-ring for the Phantom brand braided hose at the inlet to the primary second stage for my Aqualung Legend. The Aqualung service manual specifies an 820010 size o-ring for the hose which comes standard on that regulator which I deduce to be a 2-010 O-ring based on what I found after...

I don't yet have access to the instructor forum on this board, so I thought I would give this a go here. I am in the process of certifying my son in law as an OW diver. We are going to Cozumel in April and staying at the Occidental Grand. My thought was that I would conduct his OW dives in...

I have for sale a pair of size LARGE Scubapro Twin Jets. I've had these since 2005, but they haven't see a lot of use. They are in good shape, but obviously show signs of the use I have made of them. They will come with spring straps. I wear a size 11 shoe if that gives you some idea of how the...

I have a Sartek GoPro Hero 2 housing excess to my needs. This is a flat mineral glass lens housing only and renders excellent video underwater. If you shoot 1080P with this housing, limiting the FOV to Medium eliminates any vignetting. Housing will arrive with the OEM back which would not...

We are a group of seven guys who enjoy diving as a group. We pair up for many dives and do fine at that, but many of our dives begin as an entire group of seven and degenerate into what would be could only be termed a cluster f***. We all think we need a better skill set. Can anyone offer a...

I recently acquired a pneumatic tank gauge which sports a glycerin filled gauge. There exists a small plug at the top of the gauge housing which I assume could be removed so that fluid could be added should the gauge require additional glycerin. Am I correct in my assumption about that plug and...

The last report for Beaver from April 20th was pretty encouraging. Last year it was a mess. Anyone been there since the 20th of April who can report on water temps and viz? We are headed there in two weeks, but don't want to repeat the Braille dives of 2011. TIA
