I have a new Cuda 400 that I bought in May or June 2012. This past Saturday was the 4th dive with it. I have never depleted the battery yet and charge it just before using it. On Saturday I did about 20 minutes of burn time in 4th and 5th gears towing a buddy (me in dry suit him in wet, both...

My past few dives I've been removing the drysuit to find my undergarments are beyand just damp but not drenched. It's a 1 year old drysuit with only 15 dives on it. I do not yet know if it is leaking or if I'm just sweating profusely. What is the procedure for determining whether your DR has...

If a cylinder had broken glass in it can it be tumbled out or would it be safer to get a different tank?

I open the package, slowly but deliberately. It is well packaged. The attention-to-detail that went into the packing and presentation is incredible. Out comes the body, tail, spares kit, then the charger and instructions/DVD. Like a child out of a candy store tearing into his bag of treats...

Greetings, my wife and I will be diving Point Lobos Sunday, July 15th with scooters and would like to team up with someone that knows the area and would be willing to scooter around with us to all the good spots. We are unfamiliar with the area.

Does anyone know where I can get a PRO valve schematic (and rebuild kit) and possibly the full service manual for it and the manifold verion of it? I am not a dealer so cannot get it from them directly. I think my single valves are the XS Scuba VX200 and the manifold ones are the VMX200-34N-VI...

Wish to by a Tec2g wristmount to replace my wife's now (3rd) dead SUUNTO. Live in California. Condition doesn't have to be perfect but it needs to be fully functional. Already have manual and PC interface kit.

I just collected some tools for conducting various service rituals in my equipment. Most of them have some oil on them straight from the factory. I plan to O2 clean some of my items. Do I need to clean them before using them and would an ultrasonic bath (with water and simple green or...

I purchased a Salvo Havoc 21w HID 10amp canister light and received it the day before Salvo closed their doors. Hows that for timing? I has the in-can ballast. I'd like to upgrade it to E/O for use with LED lights and have been told "not gonna happen". If the design of the lid is what...

Choosing a good (for YOU) drysuit is about as daunting a task as I can imagine. One can spend days, weeks, or even months researching and sampling and agonizing over whether it'll be the right decision. I originally purchased a Whites Fusion with Tech LE skin back in December '09 after weeks of...

Why is adjustable-focus so important? It always comes up as a defining factor when considering buying a canister light. Yet everyone I dive with or have dived with tends to focus it really tight and leave it that way. In that rare occasion it comes 'out of focus' it is prompty 'corrected'...

For my wife I'm looking for a womens size XL TLS 350 or FLX Extreme not in need of any major repairs (seal replacements are fine).

Greetings, A friend of mine is taking a scuba class and is struggling on the math part so I offered to help her. She's taking a NAUI ow class and since I'm a NAUI MSD, I figured I could help. So I looked at her quiz and I had no idea that they taught OW classes with all these gas volume and...

THEN: I've never been near an underwater cave before. To me, the thought of going in an overhead environment never appealed. The lure of diving has always been about navigating the surf or inconsistent bottom terrain, observing the reef structure or millions of creatures that inhabit various...

In 7 days time I begin a cave class in Tulum, Mexico. I've never been in an overhead environment before, I always did whatever I could to avoid them so I wouldn't get lost and die, cut my life short, make a speculators dream of my recklessness, or what-have-you. But next week is the big day...

I have for sale the following canister lights: 1) Salvo 50w HID 20a/Li-Po + Unused Charger (5.5 hour burn time). Never used. It was struck twice. The first time when I got it to make sure it was working, and the second time about 3 weeks ago to make sure it is still working. Asking $1400 OBO +...

This is late in the writing but I've had a fair number of people requesting this class report. While doing my UTD Divemaster training I decided that I should also do Tech 1. T1 is something I wanted to do before but was unable to schedule it. One of my regular dive buddies, Tony (J.A.S. on...

Hey, I'm posting here because my web browsers time out whenever I try to visit the L&M forum directly. I just noticed on the L&M website that Bluefin housings do not support the 2011 sony models CX650 and 700, either of which I'm considering buying. The main question I have is I'd like...

... my dive buddy thumbs the dive at the end of the line and just as we u-turn visibility drops to zero as I reach for the line... each heart beat reverberates through my ears as I shift my primary sensor from vision to touch and audio... tha-thump... tha-thump... I hear bubbles -- lots of...

How do the Faber 100's, used as doubles, fare against the X7 100's/PST 100's?
