You cant click on the fins or quicksot on your website. When you do it just keeps opening the first store page...

[simcoediver]

Same here????? can,t find anything!!

[Dive Right In Scuba]

Hmmmm....I havent had any problems....what are you clicking on when there is a problem? The picture or are you adding it to your cart?

We were doing some site upgrades for a little bit this evening...please let me know if your still having the same problems....

[TSandM]

First time I clicked on the picture, it took me to the store home page, but after that, the enlarged picture came up fine.

Really good deal on the fins with the spring straps. Even if you buy from LP, you're going to pay at least $20 more for Jets and springs.

I saw the bag inflators earlier and am wondering how one would use it - is this for stage bottles? I just can't imagine reaching behind my neck to inflate a bag behind my head ;)

[skdvr]

now it is working better. The first time that I clicked on the Bag Inflator it took me to the store page and would not let me scroll down to look at anything. Then the second time it blew up the pic.

Are the Fins one size fits all?

Phil

You could use it behind your head...but main intention is as you said for a stage or pony bottle...great question Im sure others were thinking the same thing!

Sorry bout that Phil ;) I have a new website that we are working on behind the scenes and I have a feeling some of what we were doing was at the same time you were browsing, or trying to browse

I believe its a 2XL fin, but I will verify and let you know in a couple hours. I had just received the info yesterday and wanted to get it up for all and am supposed to talk with Chris about more details

[skdvr]

So how does the Inflator work? Do you just pull the ring down to release air?

Phil

[Dive Right In Scuba]

Take the nipple of the lift bag or SMB and put it into the slot, this lets the air in, no nipple no air....make sense? I will try and get a video ;)

Shooting a bag normally occurs during the very beginning of the most crucial buoyancy control stage of a deco dive. The fact is shooting a bag is a skill that many have struggled with.

The HOG QUICKSHOT is designed to be used in conjunction with lift bags and markers that use the "inflator nipple" type of inflation system (most commonly known on Halcyon Bags but now common among many brands including of course HOG SMB's and Liftbags)).

In the past to inflate these bags meant removing your reg second stage from the mouth and orally inflating the bag and/or disconnecting your LP hose from your inflator. Both these choices meant having temporary reduction of tools available for the diver to control buoyancy. The third choice of using a additional LP Inflator hose is not an option IMHO.... (a large failure point added, one that by nature degrades with time and where do you put it out of the way but accessible?)

The HOG QUICKSHOT is Oxygen clean with Viton Orings, it is placed on the first stage on a stage/deco bottle which is nice and conveniently in front of you when you do stop to start your deco and or to shoot a bag. You simply use pull the collar back (or remove the collar if you wish to make it even quicker-which is what I will be doing) and push the nipple inflator on the bag in. Easy and no compromise of buoyancy control.

In the very unlikely event that you have a problem with the Shotgun it fails in the shut position and you are back to the now "old" way!


Best,

Chris Richardson

I see, so it is a quick connect that does not lock on... If you just have an open bottom SMB or LB then it does nothing for ya...

Thanks

Thanks Chris for the photos...

What about the size of the fins? Are they like Turtles. One size fits most. Or are there different sizes?

Thanks
Phil

The nipple on lift bags/surface markers don't have the lip that would allow it to "lock on" like the BCD's inflator does.

Correct you need a HOG Lift Bag or SMB (or one of the many other brands that use the nipple inflator)

med-large, XL and XXL

I would wear a Xl and my foot size is 10.5 (US size)

They weigh approx 3lbs a fin, before somebody asks!:D

Bags/SMBs with this type of connection can be inflated orally. It also puts a possible failure point on a critical piece of gear, the deco bottle. Is this piece of equipment a solution for a non-existent problem or a problem that can't be overcome with proper skill? I guess I'm just over critical of adding any new piece of gear when I only want to take the minimum to keep me and my team safe.

Of course they can be inflated orally. Using the Quickshot is easier.:D I assure you I and my students can shoot a bag without one. I can also assure you that everybody at one time or another has messed up their trim and or buoyancy shooting a bag, this makes it MUCH easier. It is possible to consider it a failure point, however how many LP inflator hose fittings have you known to fail? (I have seen very few, less than half a dozen in 13 years full time in the dive industry) This is just that only with threads instead of a barb to fit to the hose.

Believ me I won't get rich on this, I brought it to market because I wanted one and I believe others will see the benifit. (I have been a Technical Diving Instructor since 1995)

The best thing about things like the Quickshot is nobody is forced to buy one.

However it is bad form and manners to crap on a Hot Deal thread....;)

I wasn't crapping on Mike's thread. I just wanted to know why this would be better than the "old" way.

Jeez, Lynn! Don't you ever learn? Now you will get kicked out of their forums. ;) (j/k)

So the Quick shot is just a BC style inflater hose without the hose? Eg it will lock on to a BC inflater?
Do you also sell the male connector for these too? EG the ones that lock in place same as whats in a BC inflator?
