In the pool I have the same problem, I use a 2lb ankle weight around the neck of the tank.

I use a suunto vyper and have had no problems with it. If I needed another computer I would get another vyper. DSS makes a nice wrist mount boot for it also.

I also have TDI and GUE training.

Like RoatanMan said, its not easy getting the tanks filled through the net. Most shops barely break even with classes and rely on the sales of gear to turn a profit. Air fills are also typically a no profit sale for the shops. I personally think that it is worth it to spend a couple extra bucks...

I always just use the 7' footer.

There is more than one way to do an air share depending on equip. config. so just do what works best, but remember to practice it once in a while with your team mates (buddy) though so you stay proficient.

I have both, I will sell you my splits if you would like a pair :D

My wife and I watched it the night before she did her open water cert dives. That may have been a mistake. I thought it was a lousy movie to put it mildly. It is based on a true story.

Beautiful lake Paris in So. Cal. had the worst viz I had seen in a long time. If I wasn't doing the open water dive for my IE I would have thumbed it.

If I'm wet I"m happy

Thats awesome, I love diving with Sea Lions

I Weigh 175 and can use the double 130's no problem. They are a good choice if you are going to dive tri-mix because at low pressure they are the same volume as double 104's. So you don't have to boost the HE pressure so high when you are filling the tanks.

Even if I use an 80cf stage bottle I still use the same weight. I only use aluminum stage bottles, Steel would be far to heavy.

It would take me to long to explain all the reasons to not use one so the short answer is no. If you use aluminum tanks you should be able to swim them up.

There is room for improvement in all divers and a good diver will recognize this and strive to become better. A good diver knows their limitations and dosen't exceed them.

I also would suggest trimming the seal down a ring and try it again. A new seal will loosen a bit after time so don't take too much off.

After looking at the buyers guide in sport diver magazine I would say most of the manufacturers are increasing the bells and whistles. The pries are getting a little out of hand also. A bp/wing rig is actually cheaper than many of the more traditional bc's. What I cant figure is why so many...

You gotta add pockets:D

That is how I was instructed to do it through GUE training.

Here is a link to Dive Alaska web site http://www.divealaska.net/. If you plan to do a boat dive in July, you should plan ahead and reserve a spot early because space is limited. There is some really great diving up here that time of the year. The weekend of the 4th of July in Seward is really...
