I have had this wing for a couple of years with no trouble, however after a lay off for a few months I decided to check out all my gear. I blew up the wing till it was firm and left it for about an hour. When I checked it again it was about 3/4 full. Now I have never tried this (filling and...

I,m in the market for some new gloves for coldwater (4deg). So far i have narrowed it down to either 5mm fourth element or the new 5mm poseidon gloves, has anyone experience of both. At the minute i have a bog standard pair of 5mm neoprene which are ok to about 7 or 8 deg. Any advice would be...

Thanks for the links but hey, thats way to complicated for me:dork2:. I assume a line graph would look similar to that of a piece of steel once it reaches its yeild point. Getting a good 300bar fill is no problem down here but if the bootom line means that a 300 bar fill gives equivilent air to...

I have been looking at purchasing a new twin set and have been looking into either 300 bar 10L or 232 bar 12L. Having searched into old threads, i have read talk about how the gas charactoristics change at high pressure, one thread stated that even if 300bar of pressure was obtained it would not...

Thats a good appraisal of the future costs, however i tend not to get my regs serviced every year as i,m from the thinking if it aint broke don,t fix it. I don,t mind buying second hand if its mint as most people buy these things new and store them in the garage un used. So to be honest scubapro...

Just googled apeks manufacturing plant. 38 miles from my house. I think i will pop down and see if they sell direct. By the way is the free parts for life transferable to new owners of second hand regs

Thats what i am thinking. I am going to stick with scuba pro for replacement but i don't know if i will have to go for a cold water reg like a mk17 or somehing like a mk11 will be suffice.

I have had a scuba pro mk2 regs for years and up to now they have been bomb proof. I know its not a cold water rated reg but at what temp do you think i might have to start getting problems. Reason i am asking is i am going to scapa flow in november so i want to get sorted in plenty of time

Cheer guys, thought i had wasted my money.;)

I have recently bought what i thought was a smb, however i have noticed it does not have a over fill air release valve on it. Does this mean that it cannot be deployed from beneath the surface. I would have thought any excess air would simply blow out the bottom, the bottom has a flexible flat...

Just got a new button gauge to replace my non-submersible gauge on my 300bar pony bottle. Trouble is the thread is differant on the button gauge to the thread on my bottle (bottle is type with bleed screw in). The thread on the bottle seems a bit finer than the one on the gauge, the gauge...

Should dry suit zips provide a totaly dry seal? I bought my suit new and after using it my t shirt/under garment has a damp patch along the zip line. When i enquired about this I was told it was normal, is this true?

Thanks for all your replies, they are appreciated.;)

OK, i've been convinced to take the ds course, I'm gonna Pay And Dive In.

I'm not trying to be clever just trying to understand the basics. I will practice what i can in 15-20 feet of water so i can understand the problems. Once I understand it will be much easier for me to learn from someone who dives a dry suit. The reason for not wanting to take the ds course is...

Just got my first dry suit and had a try dive with it, boy is it warmer than a 3mm wet suit. I have a couple of issues to sort out that i'm sure someone can help with. At what depth would i normaly expect to put a bit of air in the suit. The exaust vent i assume I leave open. If I get air in...

Ok, iv'e just got a dry suit, whats the score with maintenence etc. Do i need to lube the seals with anything to make it easier to get on. Obviously after iv'e used it i need to rince it out and rinse it with fresh water and dry it out at room temperature. Once dry what do i i apply to the zip...

Are there any tables that can calculate differant amounts of air held in differant tanks in comparison to each other. ie what cylinder would give me the most bottom time ? a 136bar 7ltr or a 300 bar 3ltr? twin 200bar 10ltr or 300bar 15ltr?

When i inhale from my reg it has started to make a vibrating mouth organ type noise. I was planning on going diving over the next few days so i won't have time to get them serviced, what do you think? Its a scuba pro r190

My regs are scubapro 1st stage din fitting with r380 2nd stage and octopus. Any ideas how i can identify what model the 1st stage is.
