    Bent... advice sought on continuing to tech dive

    Tortuga68's model & series guide to Apeks regs

    I posted this recently in reponse to a thread in the Apeks forum - reposting it here for future reference, and also because I can be a little more frank since this isn't the manufacturers forum. If someone else is interested or has done something similar for other popular brands, maybe a mod...

    Which DPV for me?

    I'm in the market for a DPV... my shortlist is the three models above (Halcyon T16 would be very nice I think but a little expensive for mine - R14 is priced right but seems not as good spec/versatile as the listed models), based on the following criteria: 1. Price. Under $3000 (retail) would...

    Increasing conservatism with Decoplanner/VPM

    I have come to the conclusion that I have experienced some symptoms of DCS following some technical dives I've done in the past Symtptoms were: tiredness, minor shoulder pain & 'hotness' on the back of my hands. At the time I wrote them off to other causes (denial) but now think otherwise...

    To T2T or not to T2T?

    Sneering at someone isn't the best way to get them to rethink their practices. Unfortunately some people don't seem to be able to make a point any other way No wonder hardly anybody posts in T2T

    What's the current thinking on a reverse profile series for technical dives?

    Like the title says, what is the current theory, or your theory, on doing a series of technical dives in reverse profile ie doing a shallow(er) decompression dive as the first dive of a series (SI <12 hours but more typically 2-4 hours) followed by a deeper dive? Say between depths of 40-75m In...

    First stage ID help - Zeagle/Apeks?

    I bought this reg on eBay as a Zeagle/Apeks UST - but the only marking it has on it is the serial number 506447 It certainly looks like a UST-clone of some sort, but can anyone confirm if it is a Zeagle? Thanks
