and have a few questions. One, does anyone bring their small (or large!) dive knives? Two, (this is a stupid question, I know) Do they have one gallon water bottles on the island? If not, I guess I will bring my own. Three, any suggestions for truck rental? Any particular company that is...

WTB- Ikelite Housing for Canon G9. Thanks in advance!

How about this idea. Can I use a pressure paint pot as a pressure tester for camera housings? If I filled up the pot half way with water, weighted the housing to sit unter the water and pressurized it, would that be simulating dive depth? Most pressure pots are rated for a max 80 psi, that's...

I am preparing for our upcoming trip to Curacao this winter. I pulled one of my Canon housings out of storage, put the o-ring in and did a dunk test in a trash barrel full of water. I pressed all the buttons several times and left it at the bottom for an hour. Upon retrieval, I noticed that...

Does anyone know where I can get an advance copy for trip planning purposes? I am willing to pay for it, but I would like to get one soon, so that I can plan out my vacation for end of March. I would order from a dive shop in Curacao directly, but I know mail could take three to four weeks...

I have read in this forum that there are some sites that request/require that you purchase air from them in order to dive. What is the reality of that situation, and if I purchase unlimited Nitrox from one op, will I be limited in my dive site selection? Bonaire was obviously much different...

I'm planning on a dive trip to Curacao this winter (probably mid-March) and want as much of a "Bonaire" type experience as possible. We are shore divers generally, and love the freedom of diving on our own terms and dive plans. We were in Bonaire a couple of years ago, and loved it. We would...

I have tried the Hangair and the Blue Reef Drysuit Hanger to no avail. They don't fit properly. The hang air is incredibly huge, my wife's neck seal won't even fit around it, and the Blue Reef is angled so much, it doesn't properly fit in the shoulders. So, what do you use...? Thanks in advance!

My GF and I are new to diving dry, and we both have Fusions. What is your pre and post dive cleaning and storage technique? Any, special considerations for the double layer situation? Do you need to open the velcro to clean properly? Do you use seal saver or talc? How often do you clean and...

I've have always read and heard that, but I am unsure what type of damage it can cause and why. I ask because I have been storing my gear in my garage (no sources of combustion) but need to relocate it to some part of my basement (which is subdivided somewhat, but does contain the oil fired...

I have a Oceanic FDX-10/Delta 4 primary regulator with a Dive Rite octo. On the past few dives I've noticed that the octo gives a very brief freeflow just as I submerge and if I wave it around while submerged, it will freeflow until I stop. I'd like to make whatever adjustment required, but I...

I have a pair of EVO3 boots in size 13 that I would like to swap for size 12. I have a pair of EVO3 boots in size 7 that I would like to swap for size 8. I have a MK 2 undergarment in size large that I want to swap for a size medium. The undergarment and size 7 boots have maybe 12 dives on...

Anyone else find the new forum upgrade to be slow as molasses? Regardless of the computer, browser, or connection speed I use, (and I log on from many different machines) page loading is painfully slow. Oh well, I just thought I would vent a little...:)

I purchased a new Thermo Pro 3442 PSI DIN\yoke convertible valve to install on my PST 3442 E7 80cf instead of the Blue Steel convertible that I have on there now. The Blue Steel valve is not "shaved" on the sides as my other Thermo valves are and one of my yoke regs doesn't fit on it. I went...

I am looking for a used but functional valve to use for my 3442 psi PST E7-80. It has one on it now, but it is an odd size and one of my reg yokes won't fit on it. So, if you have one with the tapered sides (which are more common) and you want to sell it, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Obviously, fit is very important to proper use and comfort in a drysuit. However, if one is too big, what are the potential drawbacks? I just purchased a used drysuit at a good price and it is in perfect condition. Unfortunately, it is a little larger than I would like. I am tall and thin and...

We are considering staying in the US for vacation this winter and coming down to Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area for a week or so. Does anyone have any suggestions or good resources to plan a trip like this, such as dive ops and reasonable accomodations? Are there any travel agents that you know of...

Just wondering, as I just tried one on a demo this weekend and my GF and myself really loved it. However, it was not really any less expensive than other suits and after doing some quick research it seems that they are much more popular in Europe. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I have read many of the previous posts regarding people who have had issues with sinus pressure, pain, nasal bleeding and other symptoms of sinus problems while diving. I have similar symptoms that have occurred and seem to be getting worse on subsequent dives, so I thought I would post my...

Does anyone have a used but in good condition Stilletto 35lb wing they want to sell? I am looking for the original one with the two lower dumps and the "winglets". With or without dump valves and inflator setup. Let me know if you do. Thanks.
