Hi Folks, I'm considering buying a UK Light Cannon for myself and my wife. After comparing prices, I noticed that Leisure Pro has the Light Cannon (New) for almost $100 less than the other stores. The question I have is ... Is Leisure Pro an "authorized" UK dealer, ie if I have a problem with...

Have any of you experimented with any of the "underwater moisturizer devices" designed to relieve or eliminate dry mouth? There's the SCUDA water-bag system, which seems a little iffy to me. Then there's the Apollo Bio-Filter $200 regulator dongle which looks like a lot of pricey chrome-plated...

I'm a newbie and just learning about scuba gear (reading lots of ads, etc.). I know that Henderson is supposed to make a premier wetsuit. A little over a month ago when my wife and I were getting ready to head to Puerto Rico for our O/W referral dives, our LDS recommended NeoSport 3mm...

Hi Folks, My wife and I are (retired) newbies, and will be doing our O/W checkout dives in Puerto Rico in a little over a week. After a lot of research and questions, we bought our gear today. Here's our gear layout: Scubapro Mk25/S600 regs Scubapro R295 octos Uwatec Smart-Z computers She...

OK, folks - an update! I've done a lot of reading and research since my disappointing confined water session last month. Since then, I've discovered some interesting factoids: 1. There is no such thing as a 9 pound weight (at least not around here). What the instructor gave me was two SIX...

Hi Everyone, I'm a newbie (O/W dives scheduled for 4/3 & 4/4), but I've tinkered with amateur photography for 30+ years. I've always thought U/W photography would be a lot of fun, so after MUCH reading and research, have just ordered an Oly SP-350, and am getting ready to order an Ikelite...

A day or two ago someone mentioned a factor that I hadn't even thought of. When I bought fins, I got the Scubapro Twin Jet fins because 1) they were the only yellow fins the shop had, and 2) they were positively buoyant. I guess the thing going through my mind was that I was going to break a...

My wife and I completed our pool dives last week. Most of the skills were no problem - mask flooding/clearing, sharing air, regulator/snorkel exchanges were a piece of cake. Our weight was perfect - eye level floats, etc. However, both of us seemed to have a lot of trouble with buoyancy. It...

I'm just a newbie, and I'm scheduled to start the O/W class in 3 days, so I have NO experience in scuba at all, although I've been playing around with fins, mask and snorkel for 45+ years. I see all the ads and discussions about all the high-tech dive watches, and I know they are mostly built...

Hi, My wife and I will be in PR from March 29 to April 13. We are scheduled for our classroom and confined water classes next week (Feb 14-18), and will be looking for a PADI referral site to do our open water certification dives. I understand that some locations in PR are considerably better...

Hi Group, I was just talking to my wife this morning about a very similar gadget. I'm a brand-new newbie (not even certified yet), but I can see the advantage of a VERY simple device to get your buddy's attention. I'm not talking about computers or telemetry, I'm just talking about a little...

Hi Everyone, Name here is Mike. My wife and I are enrolled in the book/pool portion of the OW class next week. She, daughter, son-in-law, and I are going to be in Puerto Rico from 3/29 till 4/13, and my wife and I hope to do the OW dives for our C-Card while there. We have our personal gear...
