Selling an Oceanic Islander BCD size small. This was my wife's who is 5'6 130lbs. There is quite a lot of adjustment so she was able to wear it with a drysuit and thick wetsuits. It has 25lbs of lift and is a wing style BCD (versus jacket style), which works much better to keep you in a...

I’m curious, what is the number one site in the world that you would dive, if time or money was no object?

The subject line says it all really, I have about 12 days off and a few friends and I were looking into dive possibilities in/around the Bahamas/Caribbean, looking for big sharks. We're divemasters and I am studying Marine Conservation but out of the many shark species we've seen we have yet to...

I'm taking my drysuit overseas for the first time and started thinking about how I'm going to pack it, what items I might take with me to care for it, how to mind it on the boat, etc. It's a Santi (trilam) suit with latex seals. If a seal tears, I think I'm hosed. (Yeah, yeah--next time I...

Hi community. I'm looking for any advise on a more travel friendly BCD with an integrated weight system. I'm a divemaster but I've only ever used my cressi BCD and a standard Scuba Pro. Can anyone advise me on different options and the advantages or disadvantages etc? Thankyou

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Mares Hybrid Pure? I'm looking for a new BCD for travel and warm waters.

Hi, fellow divers. I've got a Mikron that I don't need. I bought it new along with an Aqua Lung Legend ACD, with the intention of using the Legend as my every-day regulator, and keeping the Mikron as a backup, e.g. for a quick swap. That's worked out just fine, but I dive with my daughter...

Hi All, This is my first post to Scubaboard.com and am really happy I found this community. I have been a recreational diver for quite a few years and have always rented gear to go diving. I now want to buy my own equipment and am looking for something really good! I have just brought a new...

I want to take a rescue diver course, but I want to do it somewhere fun with warm water diving. Most important I want to do it with a good shop/company. After some upcoming work travel I will have six days to get from L.A. to anywhere in the world and then get back home to Virginia. I will be...

Hi, I live in south Florida (famous Goliath Grouper area-Jupiter!) and am always searching the internet for dive clubs and group travel trips. Hopefully this "board" will be a great place to find trips! I'm a solo diver, or buddy-less is more correct, and I love to travel, especially the...

Can anyone give any feedback on the Dive Caddy G3? Looking at purchasing one but want to ask this expert board for its thoughts.

I am taking a trip to Cancun with my girlfriend in July and will be diving one to two days in the Cenotes with a guide and then possibly diving off the shore on our own. I am wondering what gear I should bring for the Cenotes dives? I am planning to bring my backplate and wing, jet fins, along...
