My eyes was in tears when I first read about TS&M disappearance. I rarely posted but I read Scubaboard a lot, and I really LOVE to read TS&M posts. Never I saw a a discussion becomes heated due to her posts. She has the unique ability to wrote what is in her mind in perfect tone. My...

Buddha I addressing it to the OP :) Glad you found good fit on your new fins.

How is your trim? How is your weighting? Are you able to hover completely static and your body in horizontal position? Diverite and similar paddle fins are not designed for continuous kicking due to overweighted diver, or to feet-heavy diver due to bad weight distribution. I suggest you start...

[/COLOR] Thank you for the responses, gents. I love my eclipse (donut-shaped) wing so much for single tank diving, never had any difficulty dumping using the OPV. Having so much fun with the donut wing, I am little reluctant in using horseshoe, I don't know if it will have the same convenience...

Buddha, I currently on business trip, but I will check it once I get home. I will check the inside pocket side-to-side width, at the toe and mid-section. For additonal inputs if you want to have other fin options maybe you can ask TSandM. :D thats the good reason to justify more fin purchase!

Hi, I am in the market for used doubles wing - and at the moment I am looking at used halcyon 40 explorer (horseshoe) wing. I am concerned about dumping air throught the butt valve. I owned halcyon 30 single donut wing and I have no problem using the butt valve for dumping air. Can someone...

Buddha, I own both and I can say that XL jets and regular Hollis F1 will fit similar feet size. However, they are different in designing the footpocket: F1s are designed to completely "wraps" your feet (all part of your feet will be inside the footpocket) while jets are designed to leave the...

Hi ams, Now the I have the regulator in my hand, has completely replaced original hose with long hose and in few days i might dive with it for the first time. First impression, I like that the design is turretless, unlike my XTX20, for me it's easier to neatly tuck the hose inside the...

Try OMS slipstream before you decide to purchase new fins. If you love F1 you will love slipstreams

I used to have exactly same problem with you. I'm also Single tank diver, SS backplate, Hollis F1 fins, naturally feet heavy. You have two options, either put weight on your top cam band, or change to lighter fins. Both option works for me, but I preferred the latter. I changed to OMS fins.

Hi just small update, I have decided to use this hardcase: F'lite (74cm/ 82cm) | Hard Case | Collections | American Tourister very sturdy, relatively lightweight, there's no soft padding or cloth lining inside just plain plastic. costs only $100, very cheap to protect my $1500ish gear...

I LOL'ed at this one. Same problem here... I almost always use USPS priority for international shipping. It is very reasonable price with reasonable delivery time. The delivery to Indonesia usually between 2-3 weeks. BTW I moved to Oman last year (forget to change my location, lol), and...

Guys, thank you very much for all your comment. You guys seem to have read my mind :D Indeed I am planning to change the standard hose into long hose some time in the future (this is for my GF), but unless mentioned here most likely I will not realize that the regs have different port size...

Hi guys, Thank you for all helpful responses. I never noticed that the primary has different port size. AMS thanks for the link, I read the manuals for the TX-100 2nd stage & FST 1st stage, and noticed the 1/2" port you mentioned. Is this 1/2" port is made specially to accomodate TX-100? Is...

Hi guys, Recently I purchased Apeks TX100 & TX40 primary and backup regs. So far I don't have any problems with using them. But I find out that this is really "old" regs, and Apeks discontinued their production. Do I have to worry about the availability of the spare parts?

OP, it's not fair to compare online vs LDS price, without calculating for shipping costs, overhead, tax duty, etc... I don't think that you could get lower than $600 locally. One thing you have to consider if you want to purchase BP/W, you have to do some work to assembly the harness, putting...

Granted that I'm still 30 years old, but when I'm frog kicking i don't feel any stress/strain on my knees...

I wish you fun there Searcaigh! If I may recommend, don't forget to do night dive in manado bay, the guides there know where to find mandarin fish. But I think you've been diving in Indonesia a lot more than me :D Sure, please message me, I would be happy to go together with you!

Hi Scofied, Being in Muscat I think I am very flexible in arranging the schedule. Since Ramadan month is coming next month, and probably I'm going for vacation in August, I think most feasible schedule is between September - October. PM me if you want more detailed information. Thanks!
