For single tank diving I use an LCD 20 wing, with either a 3mm suit and 4lbs, or no exposure protection and no weight. I like the wing a lot, it is the perfect amount of lift. However, in terms of trim I find myself a bit feet-heavy, especially with no wetsuit which makes sense. My fins do not...

I made a purchase from them and they showed excellent customer service.

I got 12-inch with elbow to use with my hog harnesses. The 16-inch is very long. However, the 12 can be a little short if you plan to bungee the whole inflator. I just run the inflator hose (not corrugated hose) through a strip of inner tube on the harness just above the D-ring, and 12-inch...

Just came across the new site -- very nice!

You can order plain elbow/shorter corrugated and inflator hoses as a no cost option by adding it to your cart on the same page. I tried it, hopefully it worked!

Got two black ones. Thanks for an awesome deal Dive Rite Express!

I use the 20lb LCD wing for tropical diving, I'm about your height and weight. It is a sweet low profile wing. I chose the LCD over torus since I like to be able to access the bladder for possible repairs, but the only actual wing casualty I've ever had was a broken zipper on another brand's...

The problem with BC's is, you can always find a positive review or endorsement of almost any model. So take anyone saying X model is a great BC with a grain of salt. Heck, I have a post or two here praising a BC that I quickly outgrew. FWIW, I owned two vests, then a back inflate (used it on...

I have only used a Manta and a Salvo, but I much prefer the Salvo, the side mounts are just as easy to use but seem less bulky and have other benefits mentioned above. I have my Salvo loaded with about 250' of #36. The operation of the Salvo is simpler, too... much better in low/no viz should...

Hello, My buddy and I have been spending a lot of time exploring a particular ~450' WWII Japanese cargo vessel that rests on its side. This is a converted passenger ship, like many WWII cargo ships. I am looking for any online plans for similar Japanese ships to use as a guide for...

I think with a 2-piece STA you'd be OK, but a one-piece is going to squash against the cradle if you don't remove it.

I agree. It's going to be tough to leave. :(

I'm kind of in the middle on this... stuff that may need service, like regs, I buy at my LDS... In fact I just took advantage of that service. Other stuff... say, a backplate or an SPG, I buy online because of the better selection more than the price. Still, I have thrown my LDS plenty of...

That's what my buddy did in Truk. My Tusa IQ-700 was considerably more conservative than his Aeris (in certain profiles) and there was no way he was going to surface when my computer still showed 7 mins of deco. It's not like these machines are plugged into your bloodstream. Disclaimer--we had...

That's a very rough area, rarely dived at all. If it was there it was likely scattered apart by the surge.

You will have to research calculating surface air consumption (SAC) to figure out exactly what it would mean for you. It is basically equivalent to using an AL80 (77CF) tank at 500 PSI, not a whole lot of air if things are going wrong and still a chunk to lug around. I very recently had to...

I am using a DSS wing on a Dive Rite AL plate. The wobble stopper wasn't an issue but I did have to lengthen two of the cam band slots on the plate bay about .5 inch with a dremel to make them compatible. Also I had to add an extra hole to use the lower locator tab. Took about half an hour...

Phil, Thanks! You must have just added them to your site because I didn't see them a few days ago. Will order soon.

Haven't heard of it here on Guam... must be somewhere else because I would be all over it! If it is here it is a well-kept secret, or possibly not divable (rough/silty water near the AFB)

Cool, thanks for the info.
