And yes, they do take it seriously if you get caught. Nothing like a court case to...

BTW- I've been told by several people that some regs and computers from LeisurePro are grey-market, meaning no US factory warrantee. A Scubapro QA guy just confirmed that in another thread too.

I spent weeks checking out specs online. I used a Scubapro MK20 with a 550 for dive class and it was fine. I didn't have much else to compare it against. The LDS was willing to sell me a new MK17...

I've been considering that- I'll have to see how comfortable I am by the time I get there, and how deep the dives will be. I think I'll be mostly happy in 40' or less anyway, as that is where most...

I’ll be doing the most diving at the East end of Grand Cayman. Since that’s the quiet end I suspect I won’t be around the day trippers from boats much.

St. John is the place to be- Just head N out of town, and stop at the first beach. Work your way around the island, and you will find lots of great snorkel places.
