Hi scubaboard. It has been a while, 6 years! I know this is an old thread (14 year old) and there may be others that are recent, but this is what came up when I did a search on Air2 problems. I just got hold of an Air2 3/4 gen. The wife wanted to streamline her hoses as she saw a lady diving...

Hi Marcabo, I, too, inherited a SS150 that came with a good condition Nikonos V. I am going back to film as I like the challenge ;). You and slowhands aren't kidding when you said the 150's heavy. Reason I haven't used it, is well, heavy! With what arms are you using to hold the 150's to your...

Hi to all. Sorry to reopen an old thread. My family and I did 2 dives in dauin and 1 dive in Masaplod. My last dive to the Artificial reef was maybe 6 years ago. There is definitely a change from last time. The smaller fuel tanks, I did not see. I only saw the Broncho. I was not able to visit...

Hi all! Long time no post and read for me...HAPPY NEW YEAR. I came across an article on FB re: a new non-tech course by PADI involving the Poseidon Discovery MkVI CCR. Is this course available in the Philippines? If yes, where can I get more info? Thanks to all and happy diving... Doc Mario

IF ONLY..... nong Prands, if only I still stayed in Canlubang, I could be diving with you - even if you plan to do it every weekend! 90 min via startoll way and i'd be in anilao! Hope to dive with you guys soon...

@BlueGirlGoes: Another theory for your "flooded regulator" would be a crack in the body of the 2nd stage. Usually, the lower half where the mouth piece is located. This could happen when you allow the 2nd stage (plastic) to hit the deck or tank with force. You mentioned that your DM was...

@alabamasusana: thanks for the great write up. We're very glad you and your group had a nice time in Moalboal. I'll be taking my family to Moalboal too come 1st week of April. Lucky for us, it wont be a 40 hr trip. More like 5 and by car. 8-) Hope to have as much fun as you guys did!!! Thanks

@gilligan, Like they say "it ain't the arrow, but the indian"!!! Anyways, from whom did you finally get the cam setup from? And, if you're not scared of dealing with ebay folks... search for "nyxell" in the 'by seller' advanced search. He's based in HK and sells the S&S 27dx at 260USD with...

Hello Scubaboard, I have an SPG - by Scubapro. Its an all metal, heavy kind, with a thick glass cover. It's pretty old and bumbed up but it still keeps fairly accurate readings (I've compared this with my newer SPG's). SPG Similar to this...

Hello all: I'm Mario. My family and I attempted to dive DUCOM pier yesterday (Monday). Alas, only my younger son was able to complete the dive. My older son had problems descending and me, my wife, and he aborted. The condition wasn't good. Moderate waves and surges caused a lot of stir. Viz...

@scubakevdm: thank you. Now I get it! That's probably why I see DIR/GUE divers with their arms put forward infront of them. Come to think of it, those guys have their bouyancy to a T. Thay do all those maneuvers and skills demo - without moving up and down the water column. I hope to achieve...

Greetings: I seem to have a problem getting horizontal. I first had this problem (http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/buoyancy-compensators-bcs-weight-systems/263228-how-high-my-back-should-wing-tank.html). I've kinda solved this problem by fixing the harness and carrying 2lbs in a weight belt. I...

Greetings again to the list: I got hold of a Halcyon belt buckle. Question: - the buckle slots of the Halcyon aren't the same as the generic buckles. It's doesn't have a "far" end slot to receive the extra webbing or tail. How do I manage or set up the buckle? Do I just fold it back in and...

Greetings to all and a belated happy new year. Well, I was able to put in 2 dives this weekend, and although I felt a bit more "trimmed" with a properly woven harness, I wasn't able to give it much of a test. Here are a few of what I did notice: 1. I did not experience the turn turtle...

@doc harry, Diver0001: thanks for the inputs. I think I'll have to carefully take note how my attitude is in water. What my "problem" is at specific times in the dive. What a full or empty tank does to my swim trim, etc. Too heavy, I don't think so, too. If I remember correctly, I can float...

@mattboy, tortuga: Thanks again Anyways, I gave my BP/wing setup a good look. Turns out, my harness wasn't weaved properly. My right shoulder strap was riding an inch and a half higher than the left. The D rings were also low and in my armpit - thus the pinch in my upper inner arms. I re-did the...

To ALL you guys...thanks for the response. @dschonbrun: I'll give your suggestion a try. I'll move the weights around and see what happens. With re: to doing away with the STA, my bladder is the old one and doesn't have the cuts to directly hook a cam band. Do I use a fiberglass STA? @nereas...

@nereas - thank you. I never thought about switching from a SS to an Aluminum BP. With regard to the 4lbs on a belt - do I wear a separate belt or buy/make a small pouch that can hold the weight and slip them into the harness? thanks again

Greetings Scubaboard listers! I'm Mario - from the Philippines. I'm glad to have stumbled into this forum, its been very informative. To a point I'm now questioning my own gear setup ;) (my waistbelt buckle's in the center of my waist, didn't know it should be on the right most, my SPG comes...

ANOTHER DIVER FROM WESTERN VISAYAS PHILIPPINES!!! Greetings scubaboard, I am Mario - from the City of Smiles - Bacolod - in the island of Negros Occidental. The City of the MassKara Festival! I'm new to the board. I ran into this site while searching for answers to my regulator DIY problems...
