I have two older Ikelite Housings. I am also old (70) and not sure how much longer I will be diving so not interested in buying new housings and cameras. I would like to add a snoot- light combination but what I have looked at has fiberoptic connectors. Ikelite makes a connector that attaches to...

Would like to purchase a Backscatter- Snoot for an upcoming macro trip. Unfortunately it only functions with a fiberoptic cable. I have 2 Housings for Nikon 7100/7200 with only an electrical bulkhead connector. Is it possible to make it work?? ( my understanding is that Ikelite fiberoptic...

I have two older Housings with Nikon 7100 cameras. Too old with only a few years of diving left so do not want to make large investment into new housings, camera and all the backups, i will be making a small critter trip and looked at the Backscatter strobe- snoot combo but it only works with a...

The pigs have been there for years. Every day boats show up and they swim out to get treats. I do not think they venture more than maybe 50 -70 feet from the shoreline. Some people will get in the water and will be standing where the pigs are swimming. Yesterday they were there all day...today...

Not to stir the pot or create angry responses. As a neutral party and someone that has done many dives ( non feeding) with sharks, I was surprised how aggressive and vicious the attacks were in the Cocos Island incident and in the Bahamas Incident. Both were on women, both were Tiger Sharks and...

The treatment of all these things ( prostate cancer or hypertrophy) is still so controversial and not completely clear in the medical community! My complaints are mostly during diving although I do have mild symptoms and wake up during the night a couple of times. The urologist feels he could do...

In case it may be of benefit to others, Terrapin Wetsuts will add an 8 inch bladder relief zipper to your suit. I think this will be my choice for now.

Thanks for all the comments Thinking about the uro lift procedure and will contact Terrapin. They have made a few great neoprene covers for my camera and ports ( side note: by the way the green laser is best for very large glands. The uro lift for moderate size to smaller glands with...

Found it. Pissette. Wow! Weird looking contraption. Could get caught on the ladder

Thanks Vicko. Will look at the Mares suits. I can't find pisset on a google search. Any other name?

Akimbo..thanks....makes sense

I switched to one of the moldeable long mouthpieces that significantly reduces jaw fatigue but does not let you chew. Although I would worry about gum getting into your second stage, you have a backup ( octopus). My main worry would be aspirating into your airway ( no backup!) No dive trips...

YKZ zippers on the net Someone mentioned Rhezum procedure.......may want to consider Uro lift. Although Kegel helps with urgency and leaking, your bladder volume does not increase..you may be able to hold it a little longer Henderson makes a 3mm front zip full suit but have not found any 5mm...

1) the idea of a few squirts of antibacterial soap ( not that bacteria are the problem) may be helpful.......and helps getting the suit on! Wonder If it can be mixed with small amount of other non skin irritant odor killers. 2) a small crotch vertical or horizontal zipper would be...

I do not have anything against peeing in my suit as was suggested in one of the comments and did it in the past when necessary. It is just that now due to the medical condition, the frequency has increased. If you go out in the morning to do two dives, I may have peed 4 or 5 times in the suit by...

I know this has been discussed ad nauseam. BUT now that I am older.. it is a new and different story. Been diving since 1985 and in general I tried to never pee in my suit. BUT..now I am 66yrs old and diagnosed with an enlarged prostate, NOT peeing in the suit (or at night) sometimes more than...

Thanks for all the responses. I was thinking about a handheld portable saline nebulizer that you could rehydrate your larynx and airways as soon as you are done with the dive. Maybe Biotene before the dive. ThaecApollo Bio Filter has very good reviews. It does add a little bit more complexity to...

I apologize if this is not the appropriate sub forum and I can move to scuba gear or tanks I have done extensive research in the forum about this topic and there are even some detailed physics threads. I am aware that scuba tank air is very dry to protect tanks, carbon filters and regulators. On...

Correction ........I heard it requires lots of patience.... and a patient dive partner

Yes..I heard it requires a lot of patient. I just had not seen or read of anyone specifically using the DS160. Seems like in the things I find to read everyone was using other brands of strobes. Seems that having a laser (one brand), a pilot light (other brand) was very helpful so wondered if...
