Splendid, I got one!

I GOT ONE! :) I just got back late last night from a trip to Cozumel. One of the goals of the trip was to photo a splendid toad fish and I did! Photog'd some other cool critters too including turtles, Queen Angles and many of the other usual suspects. Juvenile spotted drum fish were also on my list ...

Re: Anybody else jonesing?

So, there have to be other people out there who have decided that, although diving in the snow is not an issue, driving to the dive site in it IS. I swear, if I had the money, I'd have a ticket to Mexico in hand -- but then I'd have to figure out how to get to the airport! Well, sheesh, I really fe...

Re: Fusion inner bag repair?

Whites uses a patch material that's applied by using a heat gun (I had good results with a hair dryer) - no liquid adhesives are used. Fortunately for me, my lds had a little bit of the material so you may try a dealer or Whites.

You right Dusty, the Aspdin is only dove at high tide and calm seas - you can see the surf breaking abo...

Re: Camera housing desiccants

Was it actually salt water that was in your case? That would indicate you have a leak. Otherwise using a shamwow sounds like a great idea for a reusable desiccant, I'll try it. A couple other suggestions for minimizing fog in your housing is to place your camera in the housing when the housing and c...

Did you feel sufficiently prepared for the TDI course at 100 dives? I would like to take that course as well and was thinking of doing it around the 100 dive mark. Hey Novice - Regarding being sufficiently prepared? You may or may not need that many dives (talk to an instructor) but you should feel...

Very good to know, I don't think I've heard anything bad about anything HOG makes/markets. How do you like diving with them compared to turtles and can you compare them to scuba pros or Hollis F1's?

Not trying to hijack Ron's post but can you get replacement HID bulbs for Diverite? They're only marketing LED's and LED conversion kits (real expensive!). IF they do - I need a 10 watt myself.

Re: Birthday gift for my 21 year old son

I’ve given several firearms to both my kids for various birthdays and have bought and built guitars for them too. Point is – you’re sharing a common interest with them and building a bond. IMHO, it’s a good idea regardless whether it’s a gun or a guitar.
