ScubaGadget - The Deep Background on Scuba

If you are a super dive geek you will already have noticed the BigBlue AFO lights look just like the underwater TV camera mounted on the bottom of Mike Nelson’s boat in some of the Sea Hunt episodes. The shape of this light is so eye catching that, even though all but a few of [...]

Divers who get in the water with more frequency than that of a “vacation diver” will most likely invest in their own gear. So you scrimp and save and visit your trusted LDS (local dive shop) and buy what your local experts recommend and … “It feels great, how did I ever dive with that crappy [...]

Divers can soon sit around the fire and talk about the old days when we had to use those stiff and bulky rubber hoses on our regulators. With the introduction of the new Miflex Xtreme-hi (high pressure) hose there is no longer any reason to have dangly rubber on your reg.
