    Drysuit for a long torso person

    Thinking about going dry, and I'm not sure which direction to go. I've got a very long torso, and am not a small person. I stand about 6'2 and weigh about 335 right now. I'm working on losing weight, but I am what I am right now. I've never been able to find an off shelf wetsuit that fit me...

    Right hand valve tank near vortex

    Are their any shops in or around vortex that might have a right hand valve tank they'd rent? Just moving to sidemount and would like to dive the doubles( mainly for the experience, and because I like the tanks....not a cave diver, nor do I have a death wish in attempting to do so...). Vortex...

    Gh4 housing or more compact camera?

    I own a GH4 currently that I use for drone photography and videography. I've been diving for about a decade, carried a gopro on a DIY tray for quite a bit of it. I'm back diving after a break, and am pursuing technical training. I had started looking into a better videography rig before I...

    Canister light li-Po or Li-Fe - what discharge protection

    I've been building drone from 2" to 1100mm octos for years, I'm just curious what over discharge protection yall might be using in your conversions? I've got a diverite canister with a dead nimh pack, was going to make the switch. I could do a 3s4p setup with protected 18650 cells, but it...

    Sewing in to a wetsuit

    So I took a hiatus from diving for various reasons, and have been reassembling my gear. One issue that plagued me for 100s of dives was a wetsuit. I finally found a farmer John that I could squeeze my ample gut into, but it seems to have.... well I claim it shrank. It and my plate armor for...

    Recovering remains in zero vis/high current

    Curious what your particular procedure for this is. We made a recovery friday(the first our team has made in fact), in a fairly high flow area, with zero vis and quite a lot of structure in the vicinity. We had planned to use a lift rope from the SO's boat, but it became an issue being able to...

    A question about gloves

    We made our first recovery today, it went as well as a body recovery can go i guess. I got stuck with no gloves....and it has me concerned. My chief assures me it should be fine, ive sanitized my hands well and cleaned out my ears. I guess im being overly paranoid, except for having a full...

    Hog and DIR gear configurations not welcome :-(

    How unfriendly the mainstream agencies are to anything remotely resembling hog or dir gear setups. Our FD had us run through rescue diver(padi) this weekend, and, while the class was well run, helpful, and a helluva challenge, the use of hogarthian style gear is so strongly discouraged, it's to...

    input on an issue with an oversized wing

    At least I'm assuming this may be my problem. I was, until recently, not diving with a suit. Since adding the suit, my buoyancy has been...hit or miss, especially shallow. I understand fully the concept of compression, but this seems to be a little odd. I'm finding myself, at times, fighting to...

    swim qualifications- boat crew and divers

    Does your team have a basic swim qualification? We're having hell convincing our board that yes the boat crew not only needs life jackets, but needs to be able to swim.... If you would, I'd like to see what some different PSD teams are using.

    PSA for smith lake

    If you have any desire to get in smith lake in vidor, beware, surface conditions are misleading. We got in about 12:45 today, and while chilly, it was tolerable up top.....the max bottom we found was 18ft, and bottom temp dropped to 62 from a surface of 75. Def. recommend heavy gloves and a...

    Just an observation...

    Not a "tech" diver at this point, but very quickly heading that way. Working on my own personal fitness and bouyancy issues, plan to be in doubles by the end of the summer. I'll put this here because the people who appreciate it will read it... That being said, I'm working very hard on...

    cinch system- what's you opinion?

    Before reading this: It may be a touch long, and I like to break up my thoughts with paragraph breaks. I work as a 911 dispatcher for a living, this is how we keep our thoughts organized and easy to read in call cards, it spills over here. If it bugs you Icouldtypeitallinonereallylongsentence(do...

    using a Paintball tank for a can light can?

    I've seen this referenced(and tried to search it to no avail), using either a test plug or a machined end piece. Does this work well? It seems like a great, sturdy idea for one. The test plug would make it VERY easy, but I'd be worried about leaks with repeated re-installation. I'd love to have...
