lenses installed by the dealer at that time.  Now I would like to put
the placebo or standard lens back in and remove the prescription
lenses.  I use soft contacts now, and prefer them over the

Does anybody have any feedback for this bottom timer?
Although it costs more than the Uwatec/OMS unit, it has larger numbers, is
smaller and it is PC downloadable.

Any type one or two insulin dependent diabetics that would care to

I'm travelling to the Puerto Plata area of the Dominican Republic (North

I was looking around for a new Safe-Second and ran across the Atomic SS1
which is a combination inflator/regulator.  I would like to use it with my
