The scuba diving mask is one of the essential pieces of equipment any scuba diver will own. The mask is what allows us to see underwater so the last thing we want is to spend the whole dive defogging our mask. A mask is very simple to maintain and if you follow these simple tips for mask care your mask will last you many dives to come.

Maintaining your Mask

New masks come with a thin film covering the lenses, so what will work best to clear it away? Toothpaste! By placing some on the lenses and use your toothbrush to rub it in. Once done was away the toothpaste and inspect. If the film has gone from the lenses then it is done, if not reapply again and repeat the task.

Its recommended not to use gem tooth paste but plain old crest will do, by removing the film covering the lenses this will stop the mask from fogging up.

Here are some simple steps to complete to maintain your scuba diving mask:

- Never dry your mask in direct sunlight This will make the silicone degrade quickly and stain it yellow color.

- Rinse your scuba mask in freshwater This is clean out any sand and remove any salty residue.

- Dry your mask completely before storing This will stop anything growing in your mask

- Face your mask face up when storing This will stop your mask from scratching when storing, if you have a box use it.

- Regularly clean your mask Regularly was your mask with toothpaste, I personally clean with toothpaste after every trip and leave the toothpaste on until the day before the dive.

Tips to Defog your Mask

There are three basic tips to defogging your mask, all three will work and give a good performance:

Saliva - Spitting on your mask before diving, before I commence my dive I spit on the lenses and rub it around then wash off.

Bottle Solution - Buying a commercial defogging solution is one way to clean your mask. The cost is a few dollars and you get a small bottle which will last quite long. But be warned once you get the solution out every body seems to want use it.

Toothpaste - Follow as mentioned above.

By following these simple steps for care and maintenance you will ensure your mask lasts longer and you have a pleasant dive. With proper care you can make your mask last many years to come.

If you follow these simple scuba mask care and maintenance tips, you should have a nice clear dive. With proper care, your scuba diving mask should last for years and many, many dives.

Desert dwelling Scuba divers have many options!

by John Flanders, Academy of Scuba

There are many folks who ask, “how do you Scuba dive in Phoenix”? Arizona is, after all, the “all beach, no ocean state”. However, those of us who dive … that crave blowing bubbles, no matter what the temperature is outside or how far away the nearest ‘mega resort’ may be, will find a place to strap on a tank and make a dive. Fortunately, Arizona is ripe with options for local Scuba divers of all levels. You don’t have to spend $3000 and take a week’s vacation to go make a dive or two.

Arizona has a well developed dive community. Phoenix is home to a tight local contingency that dive together, travel together and socialize together. This community dives, actively and locally, on a year round basis. Supporting this network of Scuba divers is over 20 dive shop locations that represent several major dive agencies including PADI, NAUI, SDI/TDI, SSI and others.

Diving Phoenix Arizona

In these economic times, not everyone has the time or money to escape the desert to go Scuba diving. Rest assured, there is still plenty of opportunities for these bubble blowing desert dwellers to head out spend some time underwater. Phoenix is home to several lakes that divers can Scuba dive. The best, and most popular location, is Lake Pleasant Arizona. Just 30 minutes North of downtown Phoenix, Lake Pleasant has multiple shore diving locations. Additionally, there are several charter boats that offer two tank boat diving for less than $60. Another fun option for experienced divers is diving the Salt River. While the Salt River may be famous for its weekend tubing events, Monday mornings make for great “treasure hunting dives”. Of course, diving rivers requires additional training and can only be done when the river currents are at their lowest.

Overnight Drive Scuba Trips

Phoenix is located close to several world class dive destinations. San Diego California, Catalina Island (just West of Los Angeles) offer hundreds of opportunities for a diver to experience the Kelp Forests, Wreck Diving, Shark Diving and more. California is a quick 5 to 7 hour drive trip and can be a nice inexpensive getaway for those who need salt water and a great dive experience. San Diego is home to Wreck Alley which is a world class wreck diving destination that attracts divers from all over the world to train and dive.Catalina boasts a spectacular marine park for shore divers staying overnight or visiting Catalina for the day. Southern California also offers “overnight live-aboards” which offer trips throughout the Channel Islands, Catalina and San Clemente. These live-aboards boast fantastic menus and austere sleeping/bunk arrangements. While accommodations may be “tight”. you are well fed and these live-aboards offer more diving for your dollar than most other weekend dive vacations.

Another option for overnight driving trips is the Sea of Cortez. Puerto Penasco and San Carlos are two popular dive destinations that are within driving distance. In the summertime, water temperatures can reach over 80 degrees in the Sea of Cortez. Dive shops around Phoenix offer trips to both locations and generally package a hotel stay with it. Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point) is about a 4 hour drive trip and San Carlos is about an 8 hour drive trip. You will need a passport for both destinations. If it is your first time driving to either destination, it is recommended that you go with a local dive shop to get the lay of the land.

If you are looking for an overnight dive trip, with a little spice to it. Laughlin Nevada makes a great little excursion. Only 15 minutes away from the Lake Mohave Scuba Diving Park (at Cabinsite Point), divers can spend the day diving the sunken school bus, van and 2 sailboats in the dive park and spend the evening playing in Laughlin. Laughlin is a 4 hour driving destination from Phoenix and diving in Lake Mohave has some altitude considerations. Make sure you are trained in Altitude diving prior to diving Lake Mohave.

Exotic Dive Trips

In Phoenix, we are pretty lucky to have several major airlines servicing many popular exotic dive destinations. Many of these destinations can be reached, non-stop, out of Phoenix Sky Harbor airport. Others, in the South Pacific or Caribbean require an easy connection through LAX or Houston. While you can search many of these great trips online, almost every dive shop in Phoenix has 2 or 3 exotic trips per year to places like Cozumel, Turks and Caicos and Fiji. These same dive shops spend many hours research the destination, doing all the logistical preparation and ultimately escort divers on these trips.

While we may live in the desert, we are not confined to diving only 2 or 3 times per year. As a “desert diver”, we can spend as much time underwater as our personal lives allow. Continue your training, go on some dive trips, attend the many local socials sponsored by dive shops and stay active in the Phoenix Scuba Diving community.

what is the difference between a sdi, and tdi diesel engine?

is an sdi non turbo are they still quick? do they represent any adavntages compared to a turbo engine? is an ibiza sdi a good car in terms of performance?

Sdi is a standard diesel engine which performs 90bhp (standard rating from manufacturer) while the Tdi is a turbo charged engine which performs 110bhp (standard rating from manufacturer).

An Sdi is quick yes and their only advantage is that you will have a cheaper running cost engine because it will be more economical than a turbo one.

An Ibiza Sdi is not that bad in terms of performance but if you want the best performance from it then go for a Tdi one. Btw the engine is exactly the same as the Golf engine the only difference is the top cover.

Car Choice: 'Our car drinks too much but we don't want to downsize'
Eileen and Volker Stiens have a Saab 9-3 automatic which is spacious and has been solid, reliable and a great car for them. However, it drinks too much. The fuel consumption is near to 23mpg and the Stienses want around double this, but they don't want to downsize. They would prefer to have an estate car or something just as spacious because there are always toys and bikes to heave around ...
