Thanks for the replies to all. I may just try the simple harness first. If I want to put a shoulder release on, where would that be located? The DSS thing looks nice, but isn't compatible with my Dive Rite plate. Any other thoughts on wings? Thanks again.

I was diving a standard BCD that finally bit the dust. I am now going to try a BP/W setup. A friend gave me a Dive Rite stainless steel BP, and I need to configure the rest of my setup. I want a rig for single tank diving. I have used many size tanks from steel 72s to Al 80s to SS 130s, but...

I just used my Suunto Gekko that was sitting unused for 2 years. Worked fine, and the battery was still over 50%. Just posted as another reference point.

Late to the party, but I use the Tusa Imprex fins and like them: Tusa Imprex Open Heel Fins

Many different brands. ---------- Post added April 10th, 2013 at 09:03 PM ---------- Serious question- How do I know if I have a thin or fat face?

I appreciate all the replies. Just for clarification of a couple of points- -I tried the mask with a regulator in my mouth before purchase. -I tried both sizes of Atomic Frameless and bought the medium -I don't keep the mask very tight -I may smile and make facial expressions while diving, not...

I have been through about 10 masks, all of which have fit in the store, and all of which have leaked badly while diving. While diving, I try really hard not to wiggle my facial muscles and break any seal that exists. I shave, and have no facial hair. I do the sniff test with a regulator in my...

Greetings to all- I have been away from diving for the past 2 years, and haven't posted here in a long time. I am traveling to St. Thomas in a couple of months and would like to dive there. I'll be there for several days, and can choose a dive operator pretty much anyplace, and will have time...

Question- Which is more buoyant, a 7mm farmer jon (14mm on the core), or a drysuit of similar size, when using "average" undergarments? Thanks.

Thanks. I did get it. Brand new with warranty. Yes , it has been replaced with the 3000, which is extremely similar.

Brand new Dive Rite RG 2500....$250.00? Thanks

Agree. These are what I use. Good, basic, no nonsense fins. The only thing I don't like about them is that they are a bit too buoyant.

I'm happy with the St. Moritz Momentum M1: St Moritz Momentum M1 INCOGNITO Dive Watch with Italian Rubber Strap: at JoeDiverAmerica.com

Thanks to all for the helpful replies. The shortest tank that I use is a steel 130 which I believe is 25.5 inches. I'll try the oxycheq site directly. Thanks again to all.

Thanks for the reply. Are you sure about the length, or speculating? It's hard to tell from the website and oxycheq hasn't answered my question to them on the manufacturer's section of the forum.

Thanks for the reply. Helpful.

Anyone know what the actual size difference is between the oxycheq mach V 30# vs. 40# wing? Thanks.

What is the difference in the physical size between a 30# and 40# Mach V wing? Thanks.

NASDS 1969 Underwater Sports of NJ. Instructor was AJ Bakunas. Shortly after I was certified, AJ moved to Hollywood to become a stuntman. He was killed performing a world record high fall from a helicopter when the airbag malfunctioned.

BC failures can happen. I had a rental BC fail on me in Coz, even though it tested OK before diving. I was able to swim my rig up, and my buddy's (my son) BC held us both up with no problem after I dropped my weights at the surface. The operator didn't ask about the missing weight belt, but I...
