    Looking for a good tech instructor

    My GUE instructor told me I could not go on to tech 1 unless I committed to the configuration 100% of the time even outside of the local group’s events / charters. Final nail in the coffin right there for me

    Looking for a good tech instructor

    SM works just fine UNLESS you’re going off of a boat. SM is arguably better than doubles when the approach involves a slippery boat ramp or traversing an excessively steep beach. If you’re setting a float anyways for a deco bottle or a scooter, what’s one more trip? I have zero idea what...

    Question BOV for Choptima?

    The DSV is just simpler, lighter, and less cluttered feeling. The extra hose somewhat limits head movement which is already restricted enough from the loop. Is it not just piecing together all the fittings? As always I reserve the right to be missing something or FOS.

    Go pro mount for black tip

    As someone who only does job shop stuff, I don't think $30 is outrageous at all. There not being injection molded and sold by the thousands. I'd be somewhat surprised if they were even making minimum wage after considering design time, setup, run, material, handling, etc. Sharing is caring...

    Go pro mount for black tip

    $30 doesn’t seem outrageous for that especially when you consider someone had to do the CAD work. That looks a lot like the explorer technology mount; I think it would be a bit unethical to rip off the design and then just give the CAD away. Keep practicing your cad skills and draw it...

    Unknown Woody From “Dive Talk” DCS and Medical Journey

    The expectation is that DT will do what they said they would do. They released a quasi-slanderous video and in it they claimed they would release the transcripts with DAN to back up their side of the story.

    BP/W Instructor for 10 yo?

    The OP asked for an experienced female instructor comfortable with a BPW setup in NorCal; OP didn’t ask for parenting advice or standards-violating gear configurations that would be straight up dangerous here. Some people just can’t read or otherwise handle their Internet. SMDH

    BP/W Instructor for 10 yo?

    Less demanding? OP didn’t say the daughter demanded anything. I think it’s fantastic you’re starting her in a BPW, don’t listen to the naysayers. Just a heads up, the aquarium does a try scuba diving program in the tide pool, that might be a good introduction. They don’t really leave the...

    BP/W Instructor for 10 yo?

    The last 10 year old we had in our class was amazing and likely had the most physical aptitude out of everyone in that class. He dived in trim, and his buoyancy was great for an OW student. He had 2 minor issues, the first just being the weight of the gear required to dive here in Monterey. We...

    Dive Xtras Blacktip Tech Safety Notice

    If DiveX doesn’t know the cause and they can’t reproduce it, how would they know the range of scooters affected? 2 from the same manufacturing batch is not statistically significant enough to say much of anything. I got banned from their FB groups so I can’t see what they are saying.

    my dive planning considers a dead battery or a flood, not a miniature oceangate event.

    Dive Xtras Blacktip Tech Safety Notice

    Got it. I knew they would deflect somehow. I wonder what the next de-rating will be? We should start a wager using The Price is Right Rules , closest without going over. 40 meters Bob.

    Dive Xtras Blacktip Tech Safety Notice

    Has anyone affected by this actually contacted DiveX for support? Did they offer an exchange or at least an inspection? If so did they pay for shipping? I feel like I know the answer to the above but would really like to be wrong. If I designed something as safety sensitive as this and...

    Chest Mounted Rebreather, Hose Routing, and Regulator Fitting Sides...

    This is the SM forum so I assume you mean Boegarthian. I was under the impression that meant long hose right and wrapped around the chest / neck just like a set of BM doubles. I’m not sure what you’re saying with the last bit but I think you’re saying to just configure the standard boegarthian...
