BTW- Local guys who dive dry look so comfortable in thier loose fitting toasty suits. I'd love to try a drysuit just to know what it feels like...

Hey Potato Cod, how have you been...Have you gone out this year yet? I haven't, air temps have been too cold. Anyways, you met my wife, she's pretty sensitive to the cold, and she has raynauds phenomenon. She and I both dive locally in a 7mm jumpsuit...Chose this cause 1 piece means less...

I've bought two full sets of gear from them and numerous accesories. This seems totally out of character for them. If they don't have something, they usually ask if they can substitute and many times they offer a sub of something of higher value than what I wanted to buy. I would email larry...

I had an oceanic veo 100 (not the nitrox NX version) but its basically the same computer. What could they do for "maintanence" on a computer? Replace the batteries? On this model you could do that yourself. Do they recalibrate it or something?, and you wouldn't need that after 8 dives.

Mask- Every mask i know of will fog eventually. Try on a bunch to see what is comfortable/fits right. I rub baby shampoo on my lenses let it dry overnight then wash it off. This will keep them fog free for a few dives. Or you can treat your mask with de-fog drops before a dive..Many divers do...

I recevied an underwater camera as an unwanted Xmas gift (had no aspiration to become an UW photog). I had ~20 dives in varying conditions felt relatively comfortable underwater and thought what the heck, I'll try this thing out on a recent trip to bonaire. Being an inexperienced diver, what...

Mares M2 Nitrox Computer reviews and discounts, Mares Might want to check out this. I picked one of these up and I love it. Every feature you could possibly want..Nitrox, backlight display, huge logbook, deep stop, simulator etc etc. only downside it is big and doesn't look as...

My first "dive" trip was Couples, Negril in Jamaica. For a new cert I thought it was perfect. Its all inclusive, you get 2 tank boat dives daily, waterskiing, hobie cat rentals (sailboats), kayak rentals etc. Food was great, Friday nights is lobster night and drinks are top notch. For a...

Consider you got a deal, its $150 by me. But since I buy most of my gear online, throwing the LDS a few bucks for training is ok by me

Yes, a bit dated, but it does highlight many of the discussions in this thread..From details on informed concent, to a review of the sparse documented evidence of AGE in asthmatic divers, to a review of issues on why scubadiving and asthma is such a challenging issue What I found of paticular...

Since this thread is still going, I found this article, probably the most comprehensive article I'm read to date on the subject. For you enjoyment: Should Asthmatics Not Scuba Dive?

Completely agree. However i must say I recentlty sold mine and bought an Mares M2 cause ST has them so cheap. The M2 is quite large but has far, far more features than the veo and its only like $30 more right now

Ah, so they did still charge the fee. The class of my tickets had a change fee of $150 which would eat up any difference

Yeah, its seems the policy must have changed. I did call them. Now they will only re-issue the tix at a lower price within 24 hours of purchase. Anything else requires you pay thier $150 iternerary change fee. So by the time I pay the two change fee's, I break even. I don't know how airlines...

Yeah, I booked that same flight end of march for $510, then they dropped the price to $360:shakehead: BTW Parking at JFK- Should I pay the extra for a "reserved" spot through the 3rd party places or will there be spots available at the general airport lots

Come on now..I think this guy is the one from the earlier pictures, during his pre-dive warmup:D

You got it:D

Hospitals really have no need to fill a tank of with air, they likely wouldn't have the equipment to do so. But, Usually the O2 tanks they have are filled by a 3rd party vendor, but in some cases, in really, really, really rural area's and battlezones, they may "make" thier own o2 with...

Iceberg- I'll help you out with that pic.

I think I see 7 around the diver in the middle. Sometimes I think my single tank is heavy :) did they have a crane to get that guy in the water with his "double doubles"
