    Any back inflation BC recommended?

    I don't want to do an online fight with you tobin. The goal what to tell the OP that "generally" an heavy wet suit requires more lead and so on, more lift. If the dry suit does a total failure. and why not the wing also. Anyway, you can either ditch weight, or use your lift bag or...

    Any back inflation BC recommended?

    The way i see it is that a dry suit doesn't loose buoyancy with depth if you adjust it. So no compression means no change in buoyancy which mean, in the end, less lift required. The most buoyancy is needed at the beginning of the dive at depth. You will need more buoyancy with a wet suit to...

    Any back inflation BC recommended?

    Willgr1 is right, I dive single and went with a 40 lbs and that is plenty of lift. As sibermike said, look at deep sea supply (https://www.deepseasupply.com/), they have good BP/wing combos. You can also look at oxycheq (http://www.oxycheq.com/Oxycheq/Welcome.html) for the BP/Wing and/or...

    Newby needs help purchasing a BC :)

    Don't be too prone to ring the bell with stainless D rings on a jacket BCD: the rings might be tough enough but how are they attached to the BCD. I am also a big fan of BP/W myself and all don't like that much the new orientation of the BCD manufacturer with all those bells and whistles about...

    Help choosing b/t 3 regs

    So if i remember correctly, in a piston first stage, water enter more the first stage than in a diaphragm one... As for Yoke or Din, it depends where you are and what you plan to do. DIN seems more common in Europe. It's also for me better than yoke. However, there is 2 different DIN, a high...

    Scubapro A700 - the King of Bling

    I will stick with my BA and G250. They have the advantage to be openable under water (easier for the G250, but the BA can be modified to not use tools) and I prefer also the look of the oldest model. And for the MRSP i can buy quite a lot of BA (if i can find that many in good conditions...)...

    Regulator brand poll

    I am too happy with my MK10-G250-Balanced Adjustable to vote anything else than Scubapro. And it's so cool to dive gear older than you.... lol

    Can freediving exercises improve SCUBA?

    YES it will help the oxygen consomption. On the other end, you will train also bad habits that I had myself to fight when i started scuba after 6 years on freediving: Never hold your breath when scuba with (not a problem) or without the reg in mouth (the biggest problem as your habit will be to...

    Ditchable Weight - DIR?

    I don't know if the research mode is buggy or if the previous posts on this topic were erased. The feeling that I had from what I saw and I think is the following: All depends on the situation. You are not diving in overhead condition (open water) You are diving in a wetsuit (you...

    What is the difference between SP G250V and S600?

    DA aquamaster helped me also about a year ago to choose my reg. In fact all scubaboard helped me. I finished up using "OLD regs" as said my shop but I love them MK10 109BA G250. I started with the G250 as primary and 109 as backup but after few training dive doing emergency procedures, i...

    Hammerhead plates?

    Yep, that my rig... Nice rig for some $$ I did file more the SS backplate and heavy STA And i changed the chest D-ring because they weren't bend and were quite large for my small snap on my primary. Otherwise, nothing to say but I haven't used any other BP (Well, a SS BP looks like another SS...

    MK10 yoke to DIN

    I am looking to change my MK10 yoke in DIN fitting. I am wondering if a male DIN200 (5 threads) exists ? The underlying question being, Is it best (if i can) to put a DIN200 to make sure i never plug the MK10 to a HP or is it better to use the DIN300 and just remember to never put it on an HP...

    Freediving masks

    I personally have the sporasub samourai and the cressi focus. I use them both for freediving and for scuba diving. In which range are you diving ?? The lowest volume is probably the minima from cressi but you're losing some wild vision. My focus is a little bit larger than my samourai but i am...

    Wetsuit choice for Southern California diving

    I am using a semi-dry two pieces 5.5 pants and 7mm vest for freediving. I am almost dry during the whole dive. With those semi-dry suits, in could be a pain to don on and off but i think they are worth it... Wetsuit thickness is only a component of the isolation. I favor the fit of the wetsuit...
