Dr Lecter hit it, add an inline shut off.. I would often pressurize my tanks, and occasionally after a scooter run find a tank way down.. Played around with Scuba Pro r190's which seem less inclined over the Hogs to dribble while scootering. But I finally just ponied up and put inline...

Just remember that an al80 (Luxfer for example) starts at -1.4 in the water(so fairly neutral), but when at 500psi is now +4.4 pounds. And you need to account for that weight swing going from negative to very positive.

The dgx compass is really nice, especially the hi tilt

I have no experience with the Explorer, but I went from OC to a KISS GEM, and you can make "some" adjustments with your lungs. Not a lot, but some. OTOH, its a bad habit to get into, as I had to unlearn that when I switched to CCR. As others have already noted, buoyancy will come with time...

I guess then I'll just keep cheating death one dive at a time... :)

Our instructor taught this as well, but my dive buddy and I have yet to do it, unless we do plan another 1.5+ deco session again. I'm no deco theorist, but even ICD doesnt appear well understood either. All I know is the deco modeling knocks a fair amount of deco off, by getting off of He...

This kind of reminds me of a climb I did once with the Mountaineers on a pretty simple climb for me. One particular part of the climb I did as lead and set no protection on the way up.. It was easy, I felt comfortable, well within my limits. The climb lead later reported me for unsafe...

We must have a large team of dinosaurs around here that actively dive 300ft wrecks, and have for many many years, that get off of the HE at 120ft or so.

If you do, I'd fix it up abit and have some pieces threaded, instead of all the bolts...

I actually bought 2 of your handles, one is on my DRIS short, and put the other on this one :)

I have one of Dustys lights with the 5hr lithium pack for tec dives. For its price, its awful tough to beat, just dont get the goodman handle that the light clips it, I broke mine before I even got it in the water. The Solid mount is better. While its not up to my Light Monkey 35w HID, its...

Or hook up with Bob Bailey, Bob dives sidemount. was taught by Rob Neto, so thats a pretty good pedigree.

Hollis F1 are not as negative as a Jet Fin though.

There are 2 goodmans he has, one where the light clips in which raises the light abit to clear dry glove rings. It broke before I even hit the water. I use a goodman handle I got from 00wabbit here on scubaboard when he had a bunch built. That handle is a tank. Another thing I changed was...

He's overflowing with that smelly toilet stuff.

They are just fine for technical dives,I have one as a backup for my lm35w. We've had 2 of dusty lights well past 200 feet. The only thing I dislike, is the Goodman handle, which I replaced. For a budget Tec light, it's tough to beat with the lithium pack and 5 hours runtime. I prefer my 35w...

Isnt the Explorer just a glorified SCR? If so, it'll take trimix.

Also better in the future. Even the Explorer can carry trimix, just like my old KISS GEM. For portability, I wouldnt use a small compressor to drive the Haskel, you'll pump too much moisture into it, and you really need around a 15cfm compressor to adequately drive a booster.(Depending on the...

I would get a booster before I got a compressor. Doing trimix on a compressor is rather tricky to get all setup and monitored properly, booster is pretty simple. Only thing I use my compressor for anymore is to top off a dil tank, or my suit/wing bottles, and to drag down the last few hundred...

I'd put them up on rebreather world if you havent already
