I recently got this Garmin descent mk2i, wihch I use both for diving and day to day use. Because I am not used to wear a watch, my brain does not really calculate well the distances, and today morning I bumped into a door handle with my watch, which now has a small scratch in the middle.

Howdy Divers, this makes my first post on the board. Been browsing and have a feeling I'll probably spend lots of my time on here! Alas, I need help identifying this first stage. I believe it is an Aqualung Titan of some sort, but I can't find info on definitive model or generation. I got it...

After a long break from diving we (my better half and I) are looking to take our first grown-up vacation away from our kids. Cozumel came up as a potential destination… but the recent shooting incidents in Cancun give me pause. What is the general feeling about visiting a dive resort in the...

I am a new diver. I just went on my first ocean dive post certification and while I was diving found a dead sand dollar and a Sheepshead fish jaw with teeth. I was tempted to bring them ashore but showed my husband and left them because I thought we couldn't take anything. Mentioned this to the...

Hey guys - massively torn. We're debating booking a brand new LOB in Asia for their 3rd voyage, over a long running and presumably reliable operator. The location has currents and drifts, which after LOBs in Komodo, Raja, Maldives in last 12 months we're ready for. My concern is that the boat...

Due to recent tragedies (Conception, Red Sea Agressor 1 (Suzanna) and the pending booking of a Red Sea LOB trip I decided to try to get explicit up front confirmation on a few security questions. What advise might you have as to what else one could ask or do PRIOR to booking the trip (or in the...

I am having a long time discussion with a buddy about the no deco time shown in a computer. How close can you get to the zero time while diving, without risking too much. Some opinions are to go up when you reach the 10 min mark, some consider the 5 minute mark.
