Hi there, I also find myself in a bit of a Pinnacle / Scuba Pro decision. I am deciding between the new 2015 Scuba Pro model Everflex 3/2mm with Heliospan on the chest & shoulder/knee reinforcements or the Pinnacle Temo XT Merino wool lining. The trouble is I would have to choose & order online...

Ok got it & downloaded it. I completed the doc for a 25Ibs lift of wing, just do quite understand the results????

Thx. Just sent them a mail.

Thx, but the link doesn't work anymore. I download it on my MAC sometime ago but it doesn't seem to work, I have M/S Excel for MAC, not numbers. What does it say?

Sergi, Juandi, Andy and the rest. Wow, those were the days. Now I teach my advanced divers as I was taught by Sergio, a diver I always look up to. He taught me just so much. The UTD stuff sounds pretty sound, and your right - not in Spain but in PDC. I don't suppose you have a phone/email...

Ok, hmmm!!?? Sorry still confused. Got the first part re- the rig - no probs. The rest??? Puzzled ..... Let me put it another way. I am a pretty slim guy about 70kg/140ibs. I dive mainly with two suits a 3mm and/or a 5mm, and yes often beyond the 20m mark, but not beyond 30m of sea water. Using...

Yes. The DRIS gear certainly looks like a great set up & for an excellent price. However, I'm in Mexico & call me old fashioned if so but I need to touch, feel, look at & if possible test what I'm buying & that seems only to have come from Hollis & Halycon, the latter still OTT in price for me...

Thx so much Scubadiver. I managed to get a try out with the Hollis gear, 25Ibs & found it really comfortable. The lift capacity seemed ok - ish, well at least my head was out of the water, but then I have been used to a Cressi J111R with about 43Ibs of lift - really OTT in the water & work wise...

Thx for the reply. I had, still have, my doubts regarding the S25. I mean, and I am more than likely all wrong about this but..., If I calculate my total downward force on a 30m dive I get - Reg:2Ibs + SS Plate & STA 9Ibs + Weights 7Ibs + Harnes & D-rings etc:2Ibs + Other variable:1Ibs +...

Hi there, you seem to know a fair amount about lift capacity, which completely boggles me! I'm looking to buy a wing but not sure the lift capacity I need. I dive mainly in warm water with 3mm or 5mm suit carrying 10Ibs & 18Ibs respectively and using AL80s. I also like to be positively bouyant...

Thx for the replies everyone. I think my preferences would be 1) Halycon Infinity 2) Hollis 3) Dive Rite. However, as the Halycon seems a little out of my budget so that puts Hollis as first choice - S25 or S38LX??. On a daily basis, I use AL80s with both a 3mm or a 5mm. I use 10lbs with the 3mm...

Hi all, just trying to get some advice on buying a single tank wing system (Wing + SS bpw). It will mainly be for ocean diving with AL80s using a 3mm or 5mm suit. I've been looking at the Halycon Infinity pack, Hollis's S25 or 38LX + Elite2 Harness + SS BP or Dive Rite Voyager + basic harness &...

Hi again, Certainly I think the walkabout is in order. I should be in Utila about 5 days prior to the start of the course dates so I guess that will be enough time. The only thing is that some offer extras like Nitrox Instr if you book online prior and / or shadowing courses, free diving etc...

Hi all, & sorry for the late response. Thx very much. Igot in touch with UDC & Andy sent a 5 page email not really addressing anyof the questions I had to ask but giving me additional links to the web pagewhere pretty much the same info was regurgitated. Deep Blue on the other handwhere pretty...

Hi all, Just looking for some advice on who to my IDC with on Utila. Planning to do it in Aug this year and was wondering/looking for any recommendations who to or even who not to do it with. Thanks

Hi TSandM, I was told by the Cardio surgeon that finally if they have to replace the valve I will be a on medicine called 'Sintrom'. Just trying to get some second opinions regarding whether one can dive while on this medicine?

Hi Aeolus, As you can read from my posts I am pretty much in the boat as you were some years ago. Could you let us know a little more about your case, like what did they replace your valve with & the kind on medication your are on & how this has affected your diving. Would be really great to...

Hi TSandM, thanks for that. My spirits have been pretty low, as you can imagin with all this new news. But now thanks to the forum I am beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel & my spirits are now not so low. Thx very much all, you can't imagine how much I appreciate this. It looks like...

Hi Cutlass, Thx for the all that info and yes just as you stated above I've been put on medication to reduce the blood pressure. Interesting to find out that physical exertion is more of an issue than pressure. With my month's 'diving holiday' ahead - August - now it looks like I will just be...

Hi all I have just been diagnosed with aortic aneurysm in the ascending aorta. Not only this but my aorta happens to be bicuspide too. Currently, the size at its max width is 52mm. My doctor has recommended me not to dive, although he also states he really does know much about how descending...
