Re: Dive computer recommendations.......

I got a Dive Rite Trio. I like it, its very conservative. Only a few dives on it so far, can't speak about its long term durability.

Re: Drysuit Warm Water Diving

When I was in St Kitts I did not need a wetsuit. It was in July and the water temp was 80F. I only did 3 dives per day. I would get rash guard one-piece suit or a thin wetsuit. Mostly for protection from stinging things. DM are required there and they never wear wetsuits. Great diving with good reef...

Re: solo diving

I agree with the previous posts that its not for everyone. Besides having redundant equipment and thinking of contingencies for all posible problems is being vary familiar with the dive site. I used to solo dive when I lived in NC and dove in a lake in SC. I was comfortable with it. Having a spouse ...

Re: Purchasing Doubles

On the fore mentioned wall dive I was diving my first wing, a small no name knock off. I was so freaked out by not being able to slow my descent I bought the way to large wing. I wish I had a sight like this before purchasing the wing.

Re: Purchasing Doubles

I used to have double A-80's. I split them up because I hated the buoyancy and trim characteristics. I'm leaning toward steel 100's, 119's or 120's. I don't know if I should get LP or HP.
