So I ended up getting a the weight pouches for my birthday in 2011. I have been using this system for a year now and I have to say that all in all it is a good system. I did have to make a few modifications from how it was sent from the factory. It was nothign major but they supplied some...

The gray rubber masks are know to do this. I believe this alone does not mean there is an issue with the mask but inspect it closely for cracking becuase it could be that it needs to be replaced. The great thing abot these masks is how easy it is to replace components. I have replaced my...

I know this topic has been covered in this forum before but I will weigh in. Have no knowledge of ERDI but I have been involved with LGS and Dive Rescue International (DRI). In both cases you have companies committed to the education and improved safety of PSD. Both programs have thier...

My girls and their new pink Force Fins on Christmas 2008! Thanks to Bob Evans and Blair Mott for assiting in sizing.

Blades, I saw your post and wished I could have made it. I really wanted to come up on Friday. Sunday our team is ice diving so I cannot make it. I would love to talk off line about your course material. Hope you enjoyed your weekend in New England we had a warm spell for you thinner...

DUI, Do you have any literature or photos of the CXO. Would love to get a sneak peek!! Mark D.

We have that problem in my area because several of these dams are very old and on private property and the property owners are not willing to spend the money to maintain them. The problem is that these dams affect other property when they fail. Given the decker years of flooding we have seem...

I have a Viking pro that cost $2600 with under garment hazmat valves. Guys on our team bought DUI TLS350 Public safety that was right around the same amount with options. For me the Viking is fantastic, durable easily repairable and all around great suit. It is tough to go cheap when you are...

Wydoin, You bring up a great topic that goes beyond just regulators. Making sure your gear is always ready to go is a big issue for PSD. Our team encourages our divers to make sure they clean and inspect their gear right after use and assemble it once everything is dry then check it at least...

OK so I knew I had a problem but it was not until I went to organize/consolidate some of my gear bags that I saw just how bad it was!! 9 pairs!! OK Maybe I need help. In my defense only 7 pairs are mine. The pink ones are for my two daughters. Now I find my mind wandering towards a...

emoriera, I was once in the same situation as you, I loved to be under water except for my cramped toes and knotted calves from my conventional closed toe fins. Force Fins are without a doubt the solution to this problem. It helped me and I have passed along my knowledge to other divers...

Lifeguard systems website is www.teamlgs.com if you go to the equipment section it is listed in the store. Also if you go to YouTube and search teamlgs you will find the video that shows weight system. Mark D.

My team has been using the LGS harnesses for years and they work pretty well. I recently saw on youtube and their site that they have an add on piece that will add weight pouches to the harness. I have been looking to move weight from my BC to my body and was just wondering if anyone had used...

TN isn't amazing that even after you show them proof like your dive they still stick to their big rubber paddles why, becuase they are slaves to some accepted "standard". Over my 12 years with FF I have had the opportunity to demonstrate to many friends the benefits of FF. Some who were not a...

I am always cautious when it comes to relying on technology for safety since batteries can fail, wireless signals can be disrupted. A HUD in the AGA mas would be a good safety item but would not be the best way to ensure the safety of a diver. The DIVATOR actually has a light that mounts to...

A guy on our team got two donated to the team a few years ago one black and one orange. I do not think they are still in business and their website is not active. www.amer-sea.com They were pretty well made of heavy duty cordura nylon. They only had one tank strap and it caused the tank to...

I use a viking for all PSD diving all year round. I have a Whites SAR with neoprene neck and wrists which I use for personal. Unless you are diving in really nasty stuff any of the USIA, DUI laminate suits will work as long as you are fully encapsulated with a hood and gloves so no water or...

Scubaaakid, Thanks for posting but are you aware you posted this in the public safety diver forum? You did not mention if you were part of a PSD team or if you were interested in becoming a PSD. In any case since you are so new to diving your best bet is to look to your team for gear...

Our team always dives on line and primarily uses the LGS harness linked above with locking carabiner. When I took the DRI class they were using a quick release shackle. The key part about any harness is that it is complete separate from your BCD harness. If for some reason you had to ditch...

Blair and Bob, Thank you so much for the historic photos, I love seeing the history documented!! Being a relative newcomer since I was 8 in 1979 when Bob was developing his underwater camera and have been using FF for only 11 years I love seeing how things evolved over the decades of...
