Scuba Diving Gifts – I am looking for ideas now (in case it will take a while to put it together) for August.
We enjoy hiking, scuba diving, gardening, and working on house projects (his house or habitat for humanity). Previous gifts have included making a quilt, a trip to the coast, a baseball game, a fancy night out on a dinner train, and a spa. We are both in our 20’s and live in the Puget Sound region. I want something that will cost under $200 but it is alright if it takes a lot of time. Any ideas?

Used Scuba Diving Equipment – I’m looking to buy some suba equipment and I can’t help but notice the difference in price between the two although they look identical. Any information on buying?

Scuba Diving Computer – I’m not that tech savvy and I work from home using Remote Desktop. Will that work on a Mac? Is office for Mac any good? Will I be able to transfer all my photos and the songs in itunes? Will my other software still work (Garmin GPS, Scuba diving computer software, MS Flight Simulator)? Is it worth it?

Scuba Diving Gifts – I’ve got a spare air tank free for a gift. It’s never been used. I still need to get better at swimming to take scuba lessons. So I’m not going to take lessons for at least a year. It needs a hydrostatic check soon. There are similar tanks going for 300 dollars on ebay. Should I sell mine? When I take lessons would a spare air tank be usefull? Would I be better off selling it and buying a new one when I get better at Scuba diving? Or should I keep it and use it for occasional snorkling?

Scuba Diving Computer – I’m a new diver and looking to purchase my own gear. I know how everyone has different things to look for, but seriously need to hear a couple of brand names or models.
I am completely landlocked working for six months at a time in the oilfield in the Canadian north, so local dive shops don’t exist for me. I will be in Toronto for 24hrs this winter on my way down to Cozumel and would like to buy some gear. I plan on doing recreational open water diving down to 130 feet max, and possibly trying some basic, beginner caves. About 50% of my diving will be done in fresh water lakes all well above freezing temperatures.
I have tried Scubapro Twin Jet Max fins, and Atomic Aquatics Smoke on the water and find they are both very comfortable. I would get the Atomics because they feel a tiny bit better, but am told that all split fins stink in a current. (Cozumel). Any advice?
Masks, snorkels, wetsuit, boots and computer I am comfortable choosing myself.
I see an overwhelming amount of people on scuba forums say that they have switched to the backplate/wing style BC after a little experience and have decided just to start with it. I am considering the Scubapro Knighthawk, what do you think?
What would be one of the best regs/octos for recreational diving? Am looking at the Atomic Aquatics and Scubapro pages. I’m not concerned about cost, but don’t want something I don’t need. Just looking for the best gear that a purely recreational diver could use, and possibly do an easy beginner’s cave dive in.
How about good high quality gauges?
There is enough cut and dry data in Scubalab to pick the correct computer for myself. Reg/octo, gauges and fins are my biggest concerns.
BTW: I am not going to buy my gear online, will support my ‘local’ dive shop 1500km away in Toronto, my home away from home, but have found talking to them that they only advise me to buy whatever brands the happen to stock. Just want some straight talk from some experienced dive folk.
Thanks very much to everyone who has read this!
Also, can anyone recommend a good scuba magazine besides Rodale’s Scuba Diving Magazine? I already subscribe.
Go Maple Leafs!

Scuba Diving Gifts – My mom is really into the ocean/beach, boating, and scuba diving. I was thinking of getting her something cute and small for mothers day and her birthday is May 24th so I want to get her a gift then as well. I was thinking like reef sandals that matched her new bikini she got but she already has two pairs she loves and I maybe should spice it up a bit. If anyone can help me out and give me some websites to buy a gift for her that matches her personality, I would really appreciate it!
Thank you!

Scuba Diving Computer – I need to know where to get the BEST POSSIBLE prices beause I got my certification recently (I’m 16) and want to carry on diving for studies and leisure. I could buy it in pieces, but want to know where to get the BEST deal. After all, I’m only 16 and can only afford so much at certain times. I know I have enough for all of it put together, but just want to find out where to get it at good quality for as low price as possible. But it has to be good quality. Thanks

Scuba Diving Computer – I have tried many different regulators and my favorite of all time is the Dacor Extreme Plus Regulator but I have trouble finding parts to maintain it. I even have the original dive computers on 3 of the 4 Dacor Extreme Plus Regs as back ups since I use different dive computers on each of them.
