Hi, thinking of getting a Pinnacle 7mm Merino Lined Zippered Drysuit Hood. Marketing states it is super warm with the Wool lining. Most dives a are in cold MN water and last time in Superior my head got pretty cold. NEED WARM HOOD : )
Currently use DUI vented hood with warm neck.
Thanks in...
I had 2 hydro'd and they passed. How do I know they followed the "different protocol" ? Will it fail is not followed please explain the ins and outs of what you mean "different protocol" I have 2 more that need hydro this year coming up and would like to make sure they know what to look for or...
You know what I think you are correct. Sorry for the screw up. I assumed it was as mine has never ever had an issue in cold water (40 or lower). Mine may have been retrofitted during service with a seal kit also. I will ask when I take it in for service next time which is not until October 2010...
"As far as I know the MK16 is basically the same reg as the MK17 without the environmental seal." -

I am pretty sure the MK16 is environmentally sealed balanced diaphragm first stage from the factory. It is a very good cold water regulator. I have had it in cold MN water with no...
I use the MK16 with G250V and it is a fine regulator combo. Never ever had an issue and it is design for cold water which is all we have here in MN. I think the MK17 is the replacement for the MK16 and MK16 is no longer being made. One thing I think is different is the MK17 has 2 HP ports vs the...
I am not an instructor, but I have completed NAUI MSD, Rescue, AOW etc. We stress "PREDIVE DIVE PLAN" "SEABAG" I am shocked that the Instructor did not go through a "PREDIVE PLAN & DIVE PLAN" with you in a Deep dive especially in low visibility. You need to start are your own if they are not...

Tank Volume
An AL 80 80cf @ 3000psi either 77cf or 80cf
100HP @ 3442psi is 100cf @ 3000psi would be 87cf @2600psi 75.5cf
I hear the old argument you may only get a 3000psi fill. So what with a 100HP you still have more air and a better tank with a lot of fill options &...
may get flamed for this but I bought good regs cheap used off CL.
First I got a Scuba Pro MK 16 with G250, Apex XTX 200, and a Aqualung Legend. These are all very very good regs used right around $300 or less. If you go used route make sure you make a deal with seller that you want them...
AOW should NOT be called Advance Open Water. It use to be Open Water 2. Everyone gets all hyped up for the "Advanced" part. As others said if you have a choice take only what will make you a better diver in AOW. Do not waste your time with silly tangents. It is just a continuation of OW and...

Why NOT USE Tooth paste ???
I use tooth paste on all new masks. I usually clean with tooth paste about 2-3 times with old tooth brush and fingers rubbing and scrubbing the glass inside. Then use spit and quick rinse predive and no fog issues.
You can also use babyshapoo and quick rinse...
It does and thanks a ton. The LDS my friend went to mentioned the "quick-disconnect fitting" on a Halcyon is bigger then standard and they even swaped out the BC hose on the rental reg he was getting. They even showed us how the one that was on the reg at the time would not fit, they fitted a...
This is how I found out about he size difference. Friend got one and did not have the inflator went to LDS and they went through this long explanation how Halcyon is a little bit bigger. I do not have mine yet, just bought it off boards and it is shipping. My other friend said he thought that...
