Yup...also considering a Element ;-) So I can just hose it all out.

I know this will be no help but first BUY A TRUCK. I have a walmart tub and I bring a 32 gallon garbage can along with rinse water. After the dive everything gets dunked and I let it drain off in the back of the truck before putting them into the tub. I bought a chrome type clothes thing from Lowes...

Thanks for the info fmerkel.

Tubs are great. IF you can get everything in a tub > that will work. With 2 people even in a Legacy wagon we cannot. Our drysuits must hold 1-2 pints of water in the external fabric EACH. My BC (diver-rite) is awful for holding water. We got one of these and it made a huge improvement. SEASOFT Dry-...

If the divider between the back of the hatchback and the rear seats folds down, think about using a Stanley tool trunk: http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/productImages/300/ee/eef5ad13-66f8-47e8-b887-4985ffeaf335_300.jpg They come in two sizes, and we use the smaller one for transporting our stuff.

Awesome...that is what I was thinking just going with Tubs. Final question on the "Hang dry". The seals on drysuits I have read that you should not have them near a furnace as it could break down the seals. If I only have a hot water heater, same issue? As I have all electric heat? I plan...

The rubbermaid brand tubs are slightly more expensive than various store brands but last far far longer. You do need something in your trunk or the salt water will rust it out quick. You don't want latex seals near any kinds of electric motors, the ozone produced by the arc inside the motor degrade...

Trying to figure out best way to transport my gear post dive when it is wet. I have a VW GTI so not huge and easily wet. Was thinking of making a box like setup with plastic liner or just some tubs to carry tanks and the like......wanted to see what other people out there are doing. Thoughts or opti...

Another dive-related image on the bing home page today (March 28th, 2013). Today is an underwater view of Lagoa Misteriosa (mysterious lagoon) in Jardim Brazil. If you are running IE10 or Chrome 26.0, there is a cool control in the picture that lets you scroll through a complete 360 degree view. BT...

Congrats and welcome

I should have searched. :-( Really should have...I guess it is the long day that started at 7am at work and will be ending at 3am that got me.

I was on scubaboard and saw a thread on a save a dive kit. There were lots of suggestions and options listed. Was wondering what if anything special I should look at as the Puget Sound isn't your typical "warm water" area.

Thanks

Welcome to the board!

Nice! Congrats! Thats kinda how dive gear purchases go.. it never stops with just one item.. and really just never stops :) Yeah I knew it was going to be a big one...I still didn't have any gear of my own other than fins/mask/snorkel. Well...that is changed.....once it all comes in (had to be orde...

I went with a new zoop. :-). As well as a pile of other gear :-)

This is awesome!

Now that I am back from my Thailand vacation and ready to dive in the cold :)... Were you able to hear any whales? No whales..but when I first heard the fish chomping on the coral with the "crunching" sound I was a bit surprised...never heard that before. The one thing I did hear that was...

Also have a Zeagle Ranger BC size XL I'll sell for $175.

Both in great shape.

I will keep that in mind

What's your price range?

Up to 500...but open.

Can you shine a light on it and see it well? I know it doesn't have back light...that was the one thing I was concerned about.

Now that I am back from my Thailand vacation and ready to dive in the cold I am going to start my gear purchasing in the next week or 2.....

Trying to decide on computer, most people I have talked to say the Zoop is good for what you need especially for starting out.

Thoughts?

Yes I had seen this....it was great...fake or not.....it is priceless.....
