I dove (salt water) today with my DC1200. I didn't notice any bubbles or leaking, so put it in the rinse tank for the ride home as usual. Laid it out to air dry for a bit, then brought it into the house. At that point, I noticed a few small droplets of water that appeared to be inside the...

I'm looking for a neoprene sleeve to go over the wrist on my wetsuit and dive computer. I know they are available in Europe and on websites based out of Europe, but haven't been able to find anyone that ships to the US. Basically it slips on and there is a hole cut into the neoprene where the...

I'm just getting back into photography after the whole Covid-not-diving-much thing. I pulled out my camera and the stobe light section literally fell loose from the padded flexible arm area. The wires are intact, and I can tuck the padded area up whee it belongs but it isn't secure enough to...

We're new to SW Florida and are hoping to find some spots to shore dive without a trip to the east side reefs. I saw an old thread about diving in state parks and noticed that there were three mentions of Boca Grande, which is fairly close. We're in Punta Gorda. Have any of you dove there...

My husband and I have moved to the west side of Florida, and want to get some shore dives in this weekend over at LBTS. I've been watching the surf report, and the sea looks flat or up to a foot or so. But the wind is still fairly strong, in the teens on Saturday, less on Sunday. So I'm...

I've got 4 tanks full of air, filled two years ago. I thought I'd do some local diving but ended up doing a bunch of traveling instead. So there they sit. Can anyone tell me if the air in those tanks will still be "good"? I want to take a quick couple local dives this weekend. Thanks!

I'm going diving in the Pacific and am told that average temps in that locale are 65-66. WAY to cold for me in my 7 mm! I have a DUI drysuit that needs a new neck seal and wrist seals, and needs the inflation valve serviced too, since its been several years since I've used it (I just don't...

My favorite exposure suit is a legless, longsleeved, front-zip, heavy neoprene suit, but it is literally starting to fall apart. I think it must have been a 5 mm when it was new, but I bought it used so am not sure. I wear it over a lycra bodysuit style thing. Anyway, I'm posting because I...

I get very very cold very very easily. I'm planning a trip to Bonaire from Oct 8-15, and am tying to decide on which exposure suit to bring. Would someone please post the current water temps these last couple days off Bonaire? We'll be doing shore diving only. Thanks - I appreciate it!

I'm leaving for Cozumel in 4 days and trying to decide on which wetsuit to take. I get cold very easily so this is a big deal for me. Please, someone that is diving down there, post what you are getting for water temps the last day or two. Thank you!!!!

I'll be leaving for Grand Cayman in two weeks. I'm wondering if someone can post what the water temps have been the last few days and/or until Oct 24. I get cold easy so I'm very temperature focused and tend to feel a huge difference with small temp variations. The internet gives ranges of...

I haven't been to PV in April. What are the current water temps, both at surface and at depth? I need to know what wetsuit/s to bring. Hopefully a local will post or someone that was there recently. Thanks!

I see someone posted a couple weeks ago asking about water temps now in Nassua. No one responded but I'm trying again. I'm leaving for some diving June 8 with Stuart Coves Nassua and am wondering about water temps right now. I'm a real wimp with cool water and need to decide which suit to...

I tried to search for a thread about this topic but nothing showed up. Has anyone out there experienced a hip replacement surgery, and then returned to diving after? I'd appreciate any info you can give me as to rehab techniques that you found helpful, how long it took you to get back in the...

My husband and I are staying at the Royal Haciendas in Playa del Carmen the first week of Feb. I am an experienced diver, but he will be doing his ocean dives (referral) for his Open Water cert. I've never dove in PDC - did around 20 dives in Coz last fall but many were more advanced than he...

Can someone out there give me some feedback about the turtle fins (they may be made by XScuba - not sure) and how they compare to the Scubapro Jet fins. Interested in buoyancy, fit, response in various diving conditions, price, etc. Also, would the fit be appropriate for both a neoprene bootie...

I'm going to Cozumel in mid-May and will be staying at the Casa del Mar. Is there any shore diving nearby? Any help you can give is appreciated.

I've searched and gotten quite a bit of feedback about ponys and weighting, but am still a bit confused. In fact, I think I'm more confused than when I started my research. Tomorrow I will be diving Lake Michigan using a pony bottle as a redundant air source - it'll be my first time using...

I've never been diving in Key Largo or Marathon. Will be traveling there Nov 11 to 18. Is it possible to do any shore diving around there, or is it all boat charters. I'm trying to make plans. Thanks for any input.

I have just gotten my dry suit (DUI w/ rock boots) and completed the class - only had 3 dives in it since. First question - I'm wearing ankle weights because I was told it is a good idea, as it will help prevent any runaway upside-down ascents due to air trapping in my legs. My trim now...
