Re: Gear
Ok we try on and try on for comfort of a dry suit. Any to stay away from? Do you guys have some brands of BPW to recommend and ones to stay away from? The dry suit class was half if we added it on to a class. I thought with everything else and the dry suit adding the Nitrox might be a bit much. I to...

Re: Gear
All great info. Yes Divers ready and as you said warm water. All but 4 of my dives were in Okinawa so I was used to warm water. As you said I thought when we went to Belize we would rent. I know what a BP & W is, but had not thought about getting one (mostly due to a lack of knowledge. They look...

Hi Glenn, We plan on doing diving around the PNW, but also have a trip planned to Belize. I saw this You-tube of this dive instructor saying these are the top 5 items that it makes sense to get and buy quality. 1. Mask 2. Dive flag 3. Dive Computer ( surprised me.

Gear
Currently my wife and I only have mask, snorkel, fins, booties, and gloves. I am thinking the smart move is to wait until she finishes her class and my refresh before buying further gear? It has been so long I am not sure what to look for in gear. I liked the back floatation and internal weights of ...

Re: What to do with old lead weights

Just not sure when I will be in Port Townsend next. I have a friend that goes there fairly regularly.

Back to diving after a long hiatus
Hi All, I started diving in '96 in Okinawa. I'm certified through NAUI, did my basic open water and just kept doing classes from there. The last dive I did was in 2000. I sold my scuba gear except for my mask, fins and booties to buy a TIG welder. We're planning for a trip to Belize and the wife sai...
