    Considering a move from Jacket to bp/wing .. need opinions please.

    guys thank you all for the inputs. It seems that they all share common features and only differnet in a few design points rather than performance. I could be wrong. But I also had to decide whether to order from abroad and hope for the best or use something that is readily available in my...

    Considering a move from Jacket to bp/wing .. need opinions please.

    You are absolutely right Sang, and I am not planning on doing anything without proper training, I was simply justifiying why I am heading to Wings. obviously I cannot modify my current mares BC for tasks like these. The skills and experience I was talking about were about me doing my best in...

    Considering a move from Jacket to bp/wing .. need opinions please.

    I do totally agree and have been focusing on developing skills mostly on my own rather than collect licenses.. but do you imagine trying to modify my current BC to accomodate a twin for example?

    Considering a move from Jacket to bp/wing .. need opinions please.

    I'm in noway trying to showoff using my diving gear nor trying to impress girls. I'm currently advancing in specialities and at somepoint would like to go technical . There's no harm in buying a bc that would be useful for such target and get used to it at an early stage

    My First Edited Vid - Need your comments

    /me takes a deep breath and chucks away the rig .... Dave I'v had about 50 minutes of video raw in the camera, sooo much of it was interesting marine activity or simply a nice view. I just had to ditch most of it coz i was shaking so bad and the fact that I was blindly pointing the camera...

    My First Edited Vid - Need your comments

    Robin, I was trying to ignore the fact that I'm not experienced enough :P , I only have dived 21 times so far and I did notice that my buoyancy and breathing are improving. Since I was in a diving trip to the red sea I kinda forced myself to bring it down with me just one dive. From now on, I'll...

    My First Edited Vid - Need your comments

    I can't thankyou enough for your kind compliments and observations.. Now that I'v watched a dozen more times, I can see exactly what you all mean ... its really hard to keep the camera steady. I must admit my buoancy is still not at the level I would like. It's a big factor here. Robin those...

    Anybody diving a Uwatec Galileo SOL?

    Yea I'v read about that, and I was surprised that the trimix update was being anticipated for so long , instead of following public's demand Uwatec develops another galileo , that is still not trimix capable and makes an Apnea function instead ! If they knew how many people asked me if my...

    Project to build a mini-commercial filling station..

    Ike , thankyou so much for your reply. It does seem that I am asking about regulatory requirements, however, I was just more concerned about delivering good quality of air to customers. I should mention that there are almost no regulators for this type of activity. It does sound bad but...

    Project to build a mini-commercial filling station..

    hello all.. In Kuwait, the diving community is enlarging fast and our filling stations are lagging behind, so me and a couple of friends might take this oppertunity to build a small commercial filling station for just standard air. Naturally, I do the reasearchs and googling but I found it...

    Need Advice - sinking a Canon Rebel Xsi

    Thanks for your inputs Mark and Alcina, I agree on Ikelite , since I already have a housing made by them for my video cam. it looks and feels heavy duty and the highly accessible and visible o-ring is a big plus for me. However, after looking around and checking prices of housings, ports and...

    my new BC gave me a big headache !

    I just arrived from my very first diving trip with some friends. (Sharm el shiekh - egypt) (it was more like heaven underwater over there) anyways, I kept reminding myself to double check the weights and try to pull them from the anywhere else other than the handle by force but they are...
