    I'm on my second year with the cordura cover from Piranha. No complaints, has held up fine. I've got several different "brands" of wetnotes, they all look and fit the same, no issues yet.

    I wish it was warm enough in Chicago for us to have that kinda rain. Instead I just gotta deal with shoveling snow and slipping on ice. Last week we had 4* (F) with wind chills of -20 below one...

    It's up and working as of a few minutes ago.

    I'm not sure how I feel about all the light flashing moments, need a little time on that one. But overall, so far I like what I'm seeing and am...

    I've only had one bulb failure, most of what I've seen has been a bad battery/charger. Along the same lines I've seen a few times the charger says a battery is charged in the morning then it dies...

    I've been using the light Monkey unbalanced P-valve since early this year without issue. I used to have the Oxycheq balanced but it leaked pee on me quite often so I pulled the balancing valves and...

    After a few times of replacing my "one-way" check valves and still frequently getting wet I just removed them and ran a hose straight to the valve, no more leaking issues. I've never experienced any...

    I like the second shot a lot. The composition of the diver and the wreck really gives a sense of scale and depth and makes it looks like a great dive. I also really like the way the exhaust bubbles...

    I've carried both a Luxfer 40 and a Catalina 40 at the same time and I didn't notice any dramatic difference between them. I'm equally happy with either. YMMV

    I use them on most dives. Nothing fancy, usually just a quick note about something I saw to jog my memory later when I make notes about the dive. I've used them more times than I'd like for...

    IME, many new divers wait too long to begin equalizing, usually til it hurts. You should begin equalizing once you are under water, only a foot or two, then continue every foot or two on the way...

    It's all pretty subjective. One of the guys I dove with a lot last year does 10fpm ascents as he feels they are safer and says he feels better after diving since doing them. I tried that ascent rate...

    I've bought them in the story near me without issue before. No problems when ordering a box online either. Perhaps the pharmcy person was confused?
