Night diving is a type of recreational diving which takes place in darkness. The diver may see more and has a different underwater experience at night because many marine animals are nocturnal and the diver is forced to concentrate on smaller, nearby objects.

There are additional hazards when diving in darkness, such as torch or flashlight failure resulting in losing vertical visual references and being unable to control depth or buoyancy, being unable to read instruments such as dive computers and diving cylinder contents gauges and separation from the rest of the diving group, boat or shore cover.

Normal precautions for night diving are to have a torch/flashlight, to use a strobe light, to avoid shining your light in other divers' eyes, to know and use surface light signals and to use a surface marker buoy with an attached strobe or cyalume stick.

Canon WP-DC13 Waterproof Case for Canon SD1000 Digital Camera Canon WP-DC13 Waterproof Case for Canon SD1000 Digital Camera

Reviews

Very well designed piece of equipment. Took it to the Caymans for its first swim and it did great. Absolutely no leaks and took excellent pictures and video at 90+ feet.

This is by far one of the best waterproof cases. I have used it many times, while snorkeling, kayaking or scuba 60ft plus dept. The quality is superior, it is made in Japan, the controls are easy to use. I would recommend this product to anybody using a Cannon Digital Elph. Make sure you rinse it out after using it in salt water.

Bought this for a trip to Hawaii. It worked exactly as advertized. Cons: Expensive, bulky, tedious to maintain, low audio volume on recorded videos as expected. Pros: works well, big buttons make it easy to use underwater, flash difuser is very useful to even out the brightness in the pictures. Overall, very pleased with the picture and video results. If you buy it, read the manual before you use it or you might screw up your camera.

The case is excellent and keeps the camera nice and dry. I went down to 100 ft and still got clear pictures. The flash diffuser works well for close range flashes. The case is very easy to use and is a good buy.

I bought this case for my 12-year-old son. We take our boat to the Florida Keys and the Bahamas regularly and he loves to snorkel wrecks and reefs. He takes excellent care of the case each time he uses it, lubricating the o-rings, carefully sealing it, and washing it when he's done. He also uses it at home in the pool with friends to make YouTube videos. It has performed flawlessly for him, exceeding our expectations. First-class product. We are really glad we bought it.

Average Rating:

With the Canon WP-DC13 waterproof case you can use your PowerShot SD1000 digital camera to take underwater photos at depths of up to 130' (40 m). Of course it is also ideal for taking worry-free pictures in the rain, at the beach, or on the ski slopes.

DIGITAL LUGGAGE SCALE Portable Light Weight Scales Postal Weigher NEW from Travelite. DIGITAL LUGGAGE SCALE Portable Light Weight Scales Postal Weigher NEW from Travelite.

Reviews

I just received and tested this luggage scale using a calibrated weight and comparing it to other known good scale. At fifty pounds this scale is about three pounds off, on the safe side but nonetheless off. I tore it apart and there is no way to adjust it. Do not trust this scale.

this is great to have so you know how your luggage weighs before to get to the airport

scale is small and easy to use. the scale is tuff on the back when you have a large bag lets say over 30 LBS

We bought and used this scale for a recent international trip to Japan. We had six check in bags and wanted to be sure that we did not incur any weight penalty charges. I proceeded to weigh each bag and fortunately decided to weigh each bag again, I say fortunately because I quickly noticed that the scales gave a different reading each time, with the weights varying by as much as seven pounds (United charge $100 if you go even one pound over). We would have been better to save the cost of the scales and use the cash towards the $85 extra bag charge.The scale is now in some landfill site as I did not want the useless weigh of this product in our luggage so chucked it in the garbage. You have been warned!

I purchased this scale for an upcoming trip to Alaska. It is very easy to use & seems accurate. The flashlight is an added bonus since packing space is at a premium. This will save having to juggle from one suitcase to the other at check in at the airport. It is small enough to fit into any suitcase for the trip. A small item, but well worth the purchase price.

Water and Light: A Diver's Journey to a Coral Reef (Southwestern Writers Collection Series) Water and Light: A Diver's Journey to a Coral Reef (Southwestern Writers Collection Series)

Reviews

Great book, but I just couldn't give it 5 stars like many others did. I reserve 5 stars for truly monumental works. In this rating system, if you rate The Lord of the Rings, Les Misrables, Great Expectations, and The Grapes of Wrath 5 stars, can you honestly count this work with them?

This is the best book about scuba diving I've ever read and should be read by anyone and everyone that is interested in scuba diving. It does a fabulous job of describing the great things about scuba diving without telling you what you already know. That said, it is also a great story and would probably be enjoyed by non-scuba divers. This is a great gift idea for a diving inclined loved one. One warning... one of the reviewers recommended reading this to get your diving fix when you aren't going to be able to get underwater for a while; NOT TRUE. I found the exact opposite, this book only heightened my desire to go diving to near pathological levels! If you've read this, I'd also recommend reading Neutral Buoyancy by Tim Ecott which is another good book about diving. It has more history and straight information than this book.

Stephen Harrigan has captured the most enjoyable account of his Diving adventures. I felt myself re-living the events and relating them to my own modest enoyable times spent in the Caribbean recently. Superbly written and hard to put down. Makes airplane flights disappear. Happily discovered we are in the same City too.

I was in tears by the end of the first chapter-- I thought I was one of a FEW who feels more at home underwater than on the surface. I don't get to dive very often (family, etc.) but whenever I need to "dive", I pull out this book & I'm in Heaven. Harrigan's descriptions of not only what he sees but what feelings these visions invoke move me beyond words, as I think they would anyone who feels the ocean in their blood.

When people want to know what it's like to dive, I give them this book. Harrigan has captured the essence of scuba diving. He has nearly expressed the inexpressible.

Average Rating:

''Moving, intelligent and, in the best sense, literary. . . . Stephen Harrigan is anchored in reality; he knows that the environment he's describing is in serious jeopardy. At the same time, he has made this book sparkle with his remarkable ability to discuss the metaphysical and spiritual aspects of underwater exploration without ever sounding saccharine or murky...

Underwater Kinetics Mini Q40 Xenon Flashlight Underwater Kinetics Mini Q40 Xenon Flashlight

Reviews

I have been using this flashlight for years because the light is very bright and adjustable between wide-angle and focused. It also easily attaches to a swim-mask or, for land use, a headband, for hands-free use. The bulb has a long life, but unfortunately is not replaceable, so when it goes, one needs to replace the whole flashlight. Still I can't complain given I got about 20 years of use (not day to day, obviously) from my last one.

This is a very light weight very bright flashlight. It is just over 6 inches long. It takes two AA batteries. It has a wrist strap so you can avoid dropping it, and it is waterproof. You can't turn it on with one hand because it switches on by turning the front as many waterproof flashlights do. Update. I stand corrected. It has 4 AA batteries.

This is a great flashlight for use on a boat or near the water. Very bright and usedful to see in tight places. Very small in size and easily tucked in a travel pouch.

Intova Wide Angle Torch Flashlight Intova Wide Angle Torch Flashlight

Reviews

I bought this as a backup light for diving. I took it on a three-week dive trip to Bonaire and ended up using it as my primary light on every night dive. It has a nice wide beam, which I prefer over a sharp, narrow one as it doesn't seem to startle the sealife as much as it sweeps over them. Plus, obviously, with a wider beam, you see more. It is very small, easy to pack and carry and takes "normal" batteries. My only complaint is that the on-off switch could be bigger and easier to flip...I had to pad my fingers with my wetsuit to get enough traction under water to turn it on and off. Not a big deal, but not the best design I've seen either. Great light for the money!

Awesome product. I had the brightest light on the night dive in Cozumel. Considering its small size and steel design, I think this is the winner...Takes two CR2 batteries.

Used this flashlight while diving in Costa Rica. And that is the reason I purchased this one.

This is the best light I have purchased for a night dive. It is half the price and puts out just as much as the big lights. Be careful where and how much you pay for the batteries. Intova batteries are the best if you can get them around 5.00 a pair. The batteries will last at least 5 night dives. The narrow beam Intove light is the best for day dive, batteries will last 8 dives. These lights are taking the diving world by storm and at dive shops, they want double the price. I love these lights, the are small, good on batteries and put out the best light, ambiant I think it;s called. Anyway, you won't be disappointed. Marty

#2130C LED Mini Flasher Pelican Flashlight #2130C LED Mini Flasher Pelican Flashlight

Reviews

I bought two of these specifically for night scuba diving. I put one on the yoke of my wifes tank and one on the yoke of my tank. We can easily identify each other when night diving with a group which we had a little difficulty doing prior to using these flashers. I like that I can see my own flasher and they are not too bright to be distracting. I would highly recommend these to instructors and dive masters so that dive team members can easily identify you. The only problem I've had is they can be a little difficult to turn on and off but I probably just need to clean the threads. I would also like a few different color lens options.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2GSL1MMZEM6EF Pros Many ways to attach flasher to clothing etc. Screw down design means no accidental activation. Good battery life Pelican Legendary Lifetime Guarantee Non-replaceable bulb is covered by pelican products warranty, if it breaks just send it back to pelican for a replacement Coin batteries used May be able to be found at your local 'dollar store'. Cons The lens can sometimes be hard to turn (especially when cold) to activate the light.

close fitting jacket...not really warm....but, very stylish. just what i was looking for. xl runs true to size.

This coat was on my Amazon wish list and my wish was granted! I love this coat! It's easy to drive with because of the length. It is warm but not bulky at all. I've only had it a week but the quality seems great! Buy it!

I bought this same jacket in black last year for my daughter and it was 5 stars---excellent in every way.She wore it at least once a week with many compliments for the fit, the quality,the feel and durability. This Christmas,I ordered the same jacket for her in brown and the difference in workmanship is unbelievable. The zipper port is on a different side of the jacket and the lining material appears to have been cut on the bias or too large because it bunches in the sleeves. The lining in the back appears to have been cut too large which required a larger dart to be taken at the Back-top to absorb the excess lining material. The black jacket purchased last year when zipped appears sleek and well-tailored. The new brown jacket when zipped appears bulky and ill-fitting and one sleeve slightly longer. When I return the jacket, I hope Luxury Lane has some way of monitoring the Lot # or producer of that shipment to determine the issue. Luxury Lane's high quality of the first jacket should not be tarnished by this poorly sewn or constructed jacket.

This is a classy well made leather jacket that's really soft and elegant. Well worth the price.

very pleased. Lot the softness of the jacket as well as the fit. Luxury Lane ships fast. Could not be more pleased.

Keen Genoa Peak Light Hiking Shoe Womens Keen Genoa Peak Light Hiking Shoe Womens

Reviews

I was really on the fence about what size to order since I read several reviews that said they were true to size but the on the [...] site it states that these run a half size small. I am usually a pretty solid 8 ½ and I own one other pair of Keens (Venice in leather) that are also a size 8 ½ and they fit, although it is a snug fit (meaning that sometimes the tips of my big toes touch the end when I am standing around but not enough rub or hurt). I decided to go with the 8 ½ again and they fit pretty much the same way my other pair does; they definitely fit, but with little room to spare (this is with typical athletic socks on). If I were to order them again, I would go up a ½ size just for the extra roominess. [...]. These shoes are like a heavy sneaker and are a little stiff across the top and do take a little breaking in to loosen them up (although they did not hurt my feet straight out of the box), they just get more comfy as you work the leather a little. I have them in coffee/scuba and they are very cute and look good with both jeans and shorts.

MICRONET Microfiber Towel MICRONET Microfiber Towel

Reviews

1. Yes, when wet, it does feel like a wet towel. The good this is, you will obviously see the dry parts of the towel and use that dry portion. Try that on a regular towel. I did it with my white regular towel and it can not happen. 2. Yes it does not give you the warm, hugging you feeling when you wrap it around yourself just like a regular towel would. But I accept this. 3. It does dry fast, no stinky smell, no commercial or "technical" smell. I think it's great especially for travelers like me. At home, I still go with regular towels. Btw, I say get Large as minimum. I was indecisive to get the Medium. I'm happy I got the Large for it's similar size to a regular towel. I think anything smaller is too small. I think a Medium will be hard to wrap and keep around your waist.

I wouldn't use this around the house but on a deployment where you need to pack light and space is limited this is PERFECT. It folds down very small, this will take almost no space in my 72 hour travel pack. It does do an adequate job of drying you and itself dries fast. I'm real tempted to buy another before I go. I would not buy anything but an XL though, I'm sure it takes up the same amount of space as the smaller ones. MICRONET Microfiber Towel

This towel is very light and compact, yet large. It's not very pleasant to use, being very thin and 'sticky' but will dry you off after a shower or swim and dries quickly. The mesh stuff sack is nice too. Also bought an Aquis crepe towel which feels much more like a real towel but is more than twice as bulky. I'll probably use the Aquis for traveling and save this one for backpacking and emergencies.

Great product and well worth the expense. This is a generously sized towel that is both lightweight and compact. The folded size is slightly larger than a high quality washcloth folded square. If you're looking for a great towel that won't take up much packing space, look no further. The XL size towel is roughly the same size as a beach towel. I've purchased four of the Micronet Towels in both Large and Extra Large sizes and have been incredibly impressed at their durability and shape/size retention... even after a year of daily use and regular laundering.

It is amazing that a towel this compact can get you completely dry -- and the towel itself dries very quickly. Perfect for traveling. If you're an average-sized person, the Large should be plenty big.
