Exactly... When I head to those sites... it's really hard to find what I'm looking for. I've been wanting to produce some little videos on equipment tips and information... things like "A primer on Tank Valves", "How to thread a cam latch" "How to thread a weight belt buckle" "How to change a battery on this computer.."

Questions we get from customers and I try to walk them through it on the phone... but being able to show a video would make it so much easier - and then I can set up the categories for the different things I want to cover.

I realize it's not earth shattering, or gloriously original - but I thought it would make a nice extension of the forum here, and with the ability to have the RSS feed update this forum automatically when a new video gets added - I thought it might be fun.

Gives members a place close to home where they can post their video of a trip, then when it auto starts the thread (which it does about 20 minutes after the upload) they can go in and add comments here so the other members can learn about their dive, equipment, experiences, etc.
