    MacDive and Oceanic VT3 help

    I just picked up a cable for my VT3 in the hopes of downloading my dive data to my Mac and have not had any luck yet. I have the latest version of MacDive (1.5.2) and have downloaded the FDTI driver as per the instructions on the MacDive website. I have also selected a serial port in the...

    Replacement DC800 (internal camera)

    I have the DC800 and could not be happier with it. My old land-only digital camera is past its prime and I was debating buying a new one or just using the DC800. My only concern with using the DC800 would losing or damaging the internal camera somehow. I currently take exceptional care of it...

    Removing flash deflector from DC800

    So this is probably a silly question, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. Is there any technique for removing the flash deflector from the from around the lens, or do you just pull it off in the same manner you push it on? Like I said, probably a silly question, but I don't want to damage...

    quick, probably silly, question

    I had a bit of a random question about the original force fins. I was checking out the Force Fin site and noticed that the originals have a different product code depending on whether you look in the "fishing fins" or "scuba fins" category. Silly question, I know, but I was just curious as to...

    DC800 and strobe - travel case recommendation

    I just picked up the DC800 (VERY excited, it's a big improvement from my last camera which was sadly lost on a dive) and a single strobe. I'm going on a trip in a couple of weeks and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations regarding a case for travel. I also had a question about the...

    Question re: packing for travel

    I had a quick question about packing up the bp/w for a flight. Any recommendations on the best way to pack the wing (Torus 26)? It looks like I'll be able to carry on all my gear (which wasn't possible with my previous BC). I was going to wrap my 3mm around it and fold it, would rolling it be a...

    Interesting ...

    I came across this article and thought that it may be of some interest to the forum, especially to Fin Doctor (who seems to be way ahead of the curve on this one): Whales & Dolphins Inspire a Novel Design for Wind Turbines

    Just got my rig :) First impressions

    So I'm a wicked rookie diver (just shy of 60 dives) and decided to go with a backplate and wing set up after using a buddy's on a recent trip. After a lot of research on these posts, I decided to go with Deep Sea Supply. I got to speak with Tobin, which was great, and he guiding me through a rig...

    Force Fin fitting question

    So, I finally decided to try a pair of Force Fins after doing a bit of research and managed to get a good deal on a pair of Large Force Fin Originals. I am however a bit confused about how they are supposed to fit. I wear a size 8 and am using primarily size 8 Tusa Imprex 5mm hard soled booties...

    PG Dive (Boston area)

    So, I've been going to PG Dive for a while now and I've been meaning to put up a post about them for quite some time (about a year). They're actually having a big sale this weekend (Saturday and Sunday), so I thought this would a good a time as any. First off, no I do not work for them or...

    Advice regarding whale shark trip from Cozumel

    Hi there, I was planning a dive trip to Cozumel with another person and we were looking to hit up a snorkel trip to see whale sharks in early August (which, as I understand, is a good time for it). We're essentially looking at a day trip, which will be long, but definitely worth it if we can see...

    Apollo Bio Fin fit question

    So I just received a pair of the bio fins that I have been eagerly anticipating all week. I tried them on with my booties and I was wondering if they were too small. Basically, I can't really get my bootie all the way until I put the spring strap on (probably due to the friction of the bootie...

    Yellow Bio Fins or XT and sizing question

    I actually have two questions. First, I was hoping to get a fin recommendation. I currently use the Tusa Xpert Zoom and the Mares Volo Power fins. The latter fell apart after about 7 dives, so I am looking to replace those. I really liked the performance of the Volos and was trying to decide...

    Tusa Xpert Zoom vs. Apollo Bio Fins

    I just wanted to get some impressions others of you that have used or currently use both the Tusa Xpert Zooms and Apollo Bio Fins (specifically the yellow or XT). Specifically, I'm looking for comparisons and contrasts between these two sets of fins (performance, build quality, preference...
