GoPro Hero2 Dive Housing, 2 Batteries & 2 Chargers

I'm using the GoPro H3B exclusively now and have a dive housing for the Hero2 I'm no longer using. Since the Hero3 uses a different battery than the H2 I also have 2 OEM batteries. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! I also have a Wasabi battery charger. AND, if you order in the next 15 minutes, I'll throw in a...

Re: Cave Diving in Mexico Over Thanksgiving with the GoPro H

Wusses, I had to walk the last 300M last time ..... Barefoot in the snow, I'm sure How did you know ? And yes, it was uphill both ways. :dramaqueen: Now, where did I put that cave bug repellent?! :bored: Tom, I don't think such a thing exists. However, if you invented something like that, you'd pro...

Re: Cave Diving in Mexico Over Thanksgiving with the GoPro H

Thanks, everyone! Bob, glad to hear you're heading down there. I think you'll really like it. We're hoping to get back down in February or March, so we'll probably just miss you. Lynne, from what I understand, the road is better than it used to be, but I'd definitely suggest leaving the stress to a ...

Cave Diving in Mexico Over Thanksgiving with the GoPro HERO3

We just got back from 2 amazing weeks of cave diving in Mexico over the Thanksgiving holiday with Austin (KitsapDiver) and Nick (LimeyX). We had a total of 11 days of diving and got in ~36 hours of bottom time in a very nice mix of caves we’d already done, as well as new to us caves, including one t...

Re: Remembering the Al-Ind-Esk-A Sea

We definitely didn't do it on a "good" day. Vis could be measured in inches, and I can see how it'd be easy to inadvertently end up inside without realizing it. Still, I'm glad we did it though! My motivation for doing it again just isn't super high is all, when we have so many other aweso...

+1 to Superior. Definitely not local, but Mark does incredible work and is very reasonably priced. While I've generally found his lead times to be reasonable, if it's really urgent, for a fee (~$30 - $50 IIRC), he'll provide same day service, dropping his current projects as soon as he receives your...

Re: Best Dry Glove System

The Diving Concepts dryglove system seems to be good until the plastic around the snap-on point gets scraped and dented from general wear and tear. Ive been diving with wet DC drygloves for a long time now because of it... If it's just minor scrapes from general wear and tear, it should still seal ...

As always, fantastic job, Penelope! Thank you, and I'm glad you got to dive! Me, Jeanna and Lundy jumped in the water for a 7am dive and the vis was unreal. It dropped a bit when the waves kicked up, but I still had a great second dive with Matt and Paul and Jeanna got out for a 2nd dive with Lundy ...

Re: Tapatalk users - Are you receiving push notifications?

I receive notifications on my HTC One X phone, but not on my Nexus 7 tablet, oddly enough.

The tablet is running Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and the phone runs 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Both are running the latest app version (2.0) and notifications are allowed.

Re: Scootering Salt Creek

Thanks everyone! Lynne, the western entrance isn't that bad. The eastern entrance can be a bit challenging, but the scooters are really what raised the difficulty when exiting. The wind had kicked up during our dive (it had already started up a bit when we entered, as it was late morning), and we ne...

Re: Scootering Salt Creek

Have you ever tried entering from the beach past the park and scootering around the point? It's a bit of a hike (150 yards or so) but relatively flat and urchin-free. The last time I was there I was wondering if that was a viable option. salt_creek.jpg We had a fair amount of current on this dive, ...

Re: Scootering Salt Creek

Which entrance do you guys use? We normally use the entrance by camp site 63 near the kiosk. Down the steps and to the east from the kiosk is a little beach. Same place. East Tongue Point. We've used the west side before, but it's been several years ago, and I recall actually preferring that entran...
