Re: Dive shop recommendation please

I am in Sitka and would fly ( air miles) up to anchorage to have the work done while I played with my grandson however I have called all three shops and it is no joy in ANC.

Dive shop recommendation please

I am in the unsatisfactory position of having no dive shop open within about a 400 mile radius of home. So I am hoping that you folks can help with a recommendation based on quality of work, price, and customer service. What I need to have done is a new latex neck seal installed in my DUI cf200. I w...

I normally dive a pound or so heavy that the 1.5 lbs that my pony represents doesn't make that a big enough difference that I notice it I just add a shot of air to the wing to adjust. Others I sure are so dialed in that 1/2 lb one way or the other...

Re: Not that I'm buying a boat yet? Just a question.

I think an additional factor would be Did you ask or recieve any money from anyone on the boat for fuel or other costs ?

Re: Dive light found

Dave glad you were wrong. A lodge's insurance policy does not come out in part of my check book. Was that Thompson if so do you know the boat name. Anywhich way it goes it was a big $$$ error unless they needed to repower , rewire , renew eltronics, and lights etc anyway bummer :-(
