you are correct dingus, i do have the midpressure 100s...they are rated at 3180 + 10% pressure if I recall correctly...I'll correct the original post And I will take your advise on the email

Hi Wookie- We think the -10 buoyancy of the worthington may still be too much, ideally we'd like the -7lbs. of the FX tanks or something along those lines. I own a set of genesis 100s which are -7lbs. and she dives those perfectly, so for cave diving purposes we'd like something along those...

Hey folks! So I have this set of BRAND NEW Faber/Blue Steel 100s (mid-pressure, rated 3180 psi) my girlfriend bought. After 1 dive she realized these tanks are just too negative for her! After some research we found they are in fact more negative than HP100 tanks. So... We would...

are you doing deco on back gas?

I always leave mine closed until i begin the ascent or ascent enough that it needs to vent. Mine leaks occasionally from the valve, but the wrist leak much more that I can never really tell if it's the valve anyways.

how's the burn time?

They make hypoallergenic latex neck and wrist seals. Your local shop should be able to find them, if not I know Steve Gamble has ordered and installed some for a friend of mine.

:wavey: In galv. to do my grad. research

been diving my TCS all week in cave country! Had a major leak the first day, found out it was a loose exhaust dump, since then dry, warm, and feeling great. I did have major floaty feet issues, but gaiters solved that problem easily! great suit for the money!

I don't think they moved. I'll be swinging by there on the way home today to pick up something, but I drive by there everyday and it still looks like they are there.

just put my first 3 dives on this suit. Dive 1, flooded from somewhere, buddy's DS had a total flood, dive was called in 15 minutes. Dive 2, tightened the inflate and exhaust valves double checked the zipper and seals. Found out I am leaking from the left wrist...not too major, post dive i...

Just dove my new TCS this past weekend check out this thread for info on the suit.....for the $$ you cannot go wrong!! http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/exposure-suits/307630-typhoon-tcs.html

Hi Kathy- Very depressing to hear, the TAMUG dive community is a pretty tight-knit group. Were was her gear when it was stolen? I will keep my eyes open around the campus and local dive shops and sites. Have the dive instructors and DSO at the university been informed?

I know several people that dive USIA suits....they are top-notch, great quality suits.

I'm constantly amazed how many people bash "semi-dry" wetsuits.....yes, we all know they are a wetsuit and will not keep you dry....but believe it or not they are beneficial! and on that note, how many people who bash them have actually dove in one? not trying to start a controversy, but...

I have one, but don't really use it for TX diving....actually just got a new one, so I'll be at CSSP in a few weeks to give it a test drive!

just got my suit and all I can say is WOW....far better than I expected. I thought it would be a previous year's model, but it looks like the current model. Fit is perfect! I went with the Large with 11-12 boots cause i'm 6'2" and skinny! with size 11-12 shoes. Well, height wise it's perfect...

just looked it up, PADI is now allowing instructors to teach with the option of using dive computers instead of the RDP tables. Instructors can teach the tables, the tables and computers, or just computers.... But they do require that students know the theory, and importance of planning every...

i wouldn't be surprised if they were dropping the tables in favor the eRDP.... the PADI shop I did my DM through spent a good bit of time on the tables for OW students, and didn't really touch on computers except to say what they are for.
