Re: Hogarthian dive setup (regulators, BP/W, etc)

Also willing to entertain offers!

I would love to see this gear get some use, rather than just sitting in my garage for years and eventually going in the bin!

[SOLD] Hogarthian dive setup (regulators, BP/W, etc)

Moving away from the water, so selling off the bulk of my dive gear. The BP/W setup was only used for a handful of dives, and the wing itself hasn't ever seen the water (they didn't have the red in stock when I ordered, so they sent me a black wing and exchanged for the red after it came back in sto...

Long Burn Dusty Light

Diving less often, so downsizing my kit. Selling my long burn Dusty light, only used on a handful of dives and always cleaned and stored properly. Locally built, this light is super impressive! Includes light, battery with charger, and Goodman handle with SS bolt snap. Available for pickup in Bothel...

Re: Anything like DRIS's Try Tech Day in the Seattle area?

Sounds fun! Do you have to have any sidemount experience to do sidemount in the class? Can you try both sidemount and doubles?

Anything like DRIS's Try Tech Day in the Seattle area?

I just got an email of upcoming events from Dive Right in Scuba, and they list a Try Tech Demo at the pool. Minimal fee ($10/person), with things like trying side mount, doubles, stage bottles, etc... Sounds like a very interesting experience for a growing diver (like myself). Unfortunately, the com...

Re: Finding a strobe for a Nikon 1 S1

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I made it down to Optical Ocean Sales on Tuesday, and was able to confirm that the Nikon 1 S1 works with the YS-03 strobe! I ended picking up their YS-03 package, which completes a thrifty but functional underwater photography setup. Took it out to Mukilteo a...

Re: Viz Reports Thread

Was out at Mukilteo on Wednesday, the 7th. In the water around 10:30am. Very foggy topside, and strong current. Viz was about a foot in the first 10' of water, but got much better below that band of silt. Was basically a night dive once it cleared up!

Have you had good experiences with that specific strobe? Any thoughts on TTL vs manual, especially for a beginner?

Finding a strobe for a Nikon 1 S1

Hello everyone! I recently picked up a Nikon 1 S1 with the Nikon WP-N2 housing (got a good deal from B&H, both items for $200!). The housing seems to work nicely with both the stock 11-27.5mm lens, as well as the 18.5mm prime lens. However, I am having some difficulty determining which strobes w...

Re: Newish diver interested in BP/W, looking for sage advise

One more quick question. I was thinking of picking up a weight belt now so I don't have to deal with the floppy weight pockets on my current BCD (whether I end up going BP/W or not). I already have a set of soft weights, so I was thinking of getting something like this: http://www.xsscuba.com/weight...

Re: Newish diver interested in BP/W, looking for sage advise

Thanks for the quick reply. That is the same thought that I had, so it is nice to see that I am on the right line of thinking. Better to just buy once and buy right than get something suboptimal and have to replace every part of it.

Re: Newish diver interested in BP/W, looking for sage advise

@Jeff Interesting find! I sent an email to the seller asking a few questions. Do you think this would be a workable setup for a newb? Looks like the plate is AL rather than SS, which could be changed out. The wing claims use for single or doubles, which makes me kinda wary, though the price is right...

Again, thanks all for the informative comments.

Thanks very much for all the feedback, it is nice to get some perspective from people who don't assume everyone is diving AL80 in a tee shirt! :P I will make some time to swing by Woodinville and look at some gear in person, rather than relying solely on tiny jpegs.

Well, perhaps I will settle for any advise I can get! :) I started diving a few months ago, and have 22 dives logged. Shortly after completing my OW course, I picked up a gear package from a local shop. While I am happy with the regs and computer involved, I feel like the BC has room for improvement...

Hello Everybody!

Hi there! I have been lurking around on the forums for a while, but it seemed like the right time to join and get in the mix! I started diving in March with a Discover SCUBA course. Shortly afterwards, knowing I was irreparably hooked, I got my OW certification, and quickly followed on with my AOW. ...
