What's the best marker to use on scuba equipment for putting my name
on the items? I need something that will work on nylon.
Thanks.

I am looking at getting a "universal" housing for a el-cheapo digital
point-and-shoot I picked up for $30 at a pawn shop.  But first I have a
question - what effect does the "lensing" effect of water have on the
focal length of the camera.  One of the nice features of this camera ...

Has anyone found another source for 10w HID bulbs? I've been to Welch
allen they are more expensive than the light manufacturer (Bulk buying
and all that).
Thanks for your help

Please can someone advise me. I am trying to get the negs. from a
snorkelling trip to Antigua ec., properly printed. However both
Jessops and Boots technicians in London (U.K.) haven't a clue how to
do this despite the fact that both companies sell underwater

I have a Cannon S40 with the factory underwater housing.  Does anyone have
any suggestions on
strobe outfits that would work with this?
Thanks

Hi group,
I've bought a 2nd hand DiveRite Transpac harness, but have trouble finding
out whether it's a Transpac I or Transpac II.
On the lefter shoulder it only says "Transpac", which looks like the old

ANyone out there have the Mares Vector 1000 or Morphos pro that could
give me an idea of how the sizing runs? I'm 5 10, 180, 42 inch chest -
33inch waist. Not sure If I need a large or can get my witha  medium.

To my great astonishment I did find out that at the both ends of the pin of
the ss fin strap clip manta is actually selling there are merely two buttons
which are pressed on the pin as depicted in the picture at

I have a Sony DCR TRV50 and I'm thinking about buying a UW house (trip to
Cozumel coming up). The one I've checked out is Ikelite's 6035.19 which is a
mechanical house. Price $680, which is one the main reason I've looked at
this one.

I have a Nikon Coolpix 995 and I know there are Ikelite housings for it.
What i was wondering if there are any stores that rent the housings so I
don't have to spend the $1k to buy one being that I don't dive that often
anymore..

   (Well, I posted this question in another scuba news group but I don't
think I'm going to get any serious questions.  So maybe I could get a few
answers here, even tho this is an equipment news group.  Maybe some of you
could take the time and answer my off-topic questions)

Just bought a new set of split fins, all pretty out of the box, tried them
out and they seem a bit slow...  Is this normal?

I have a question about the size of BC I should buy.  Judging from the size
charts I've seen, I either need a medium or large, but I'm not sure which.  
I am 6'1" tall, 175 lbs, chest 41", waist 35", hips 38".  In most respects
this puts me in the Large column, except for my waist ...
