I am considering buying the H20ddyssey extra air system. Here is a link to it. http://www.scubatoys.com/store/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=h2odyssey I like it because it's a spair air system and has the hoseless regulator included. The 13 cubic foot model fits into a zeagle accessory for the Ranger...

Anyone know of a book that has specs on these creatures. Like is there antivenom for a sea krait bite, and are there any methods to cure the pain from a lionfish sting or a crown of thorns starfish sting? For example, in San Diego, where I surfed for a few years, if we were attacked by a...

I'm looking for recommendations on books about the sea life in Fiji. I am a scientific type of guy, and I will be doing some volunteer biological work in Fiji. I want to find some good reading and reference material such as fish identification books (with descriptions on behavior, etc, would...

Hello, Does anyone know about a pair of gloves that provide protection from creatures with teeth, like a barracuda? I know there are some lobster diving gloves, and they might sound promising. I think, though, that lobster pinches might not be as brutal as barracuda teeth. Also, something I...

Here it is: Zeagle Ranger BC Sherwood Maximus Regulator Probably one of the discontinued Aeris Atmos Pro Regulators as back up Zeagle Envoy Octo Oceanic Max Depth Analog Guage Apollog Bio Fin with C-strap Suunto Gekko wrist computer My situation is living in Fiji for two years in a remote...

I believe Aeris was founded based on their computers. So I just assumed they were probably the best and most reliable in the industry. Now, however, I seem to be reading alot about Suunto computers. Any opinon here as to which computers are the most reliable, user friendly, best algorithms...

If a computer doesn't integrate your current tank pressure into the algorithm, then what exactly does it do?

I'm looking for my first dive computer. I don't need anything fancy, just something that uses safe algorithms, is reliable, and very sturdy. Nitrox compatibility would be nice, but it's not something I know anything about yet. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks a bunch.

Am I getting this right, that leisurepro just offers a non-factory warranty, but the same equipment? Nothing used, defective, etc? The equipment is more or less the same as what I would get from the manufacturer itself, right? This is fine by me for my situation. I'm going to be in a remote...

Hello, I have been shopping around the internet looking for good deals on equipment. I nearly **** my pants when I saw the prices offered for items at leisurepro.com and also diveus.com. I mean, I was really happy. Then I was looking around on the scubaboard and found people talking about...

Hello, I am looking for direction on a reliable, always there octo. Anyone have any suggestions. I was considering the Mares Octopus MV, because I have seen it in nearly every package deal on the internet, and figured it must be decent. I don't really know, though. I have already posted a...

I was wondering if the octopus MV is balanced or unbalanced. I have heard that an un-balanced octo is preferred, because of improved reliability. Is this true?

Am I mistaken in what I am reading on www.sherwoodscuba.com or does the Oasis regulator have a type of venturi-assist?

Hello, Is the Oasis as dependable as the Brut, and as easy to service? What is the Oasis performance like in a high sediment situation? Does the Oasis have the dry-bleed-valve that I have read about? Thanks

I am looking for a balanced diaphragm regulator. I am also looking for a very reliable, durable regulator and was told that Sherwood provides just that. But, on the website, there is very little/no information about whether the regulators are diaphragm or piston. I will be diving in Fiji, and...

Hello, I am considering purchasing one of the now low price, discontinued GT3 or Atmos Pro regulators and was wondering how difficult it would be, or if it is possible, to simply install the DVT gadget on one of these 2006 models.

Any suggestions? So far, I am considering the newly discontinued Aeris Atmos Pro, or the discontinued GT3, both non DVT, unfortunately. Price is somewhat of a consideration, under $400 is doable. I will be diving in Fiji, where I may have to worry about strong currents at times. Regardless...

I am considering a BC inflator/octo rig to streamline as I will be diving on very precious reefs in Fiji and want to eliminate possibility of any damage. I am concerned at the basic mechanics of such a set up, though. With all these important moving parts in such close proximity, wouldn't...

Hello, I am in the market for a BC for a Peace Corps service in Fiji for two years. I need a BC that will perform well in a reef habitat, with encounters with currents, and daily use. Specifically, a BC that will not catch the current too easily and not be too bulky, as I wil be doing some...
