    Not in XXL. I bought a pair of xl in blue, but every time I've checked, for quite a while, the XXL has been out of stock. So since you are due to make new ones, anyway... Blue or white would be great!

    Divemaster did NOT get in the water...

    Also an important thing to know - a DM in the water doesn't make them your buddy, nor are they specifically responsible for your safety, unless YOU specifically hired the DM for that purpose. Most dive ops that I have frequented will put a DM in the water for a specific task: they set and pull...

    How to practise cave skills with no caves?

    A blackout mask solves that problem in a hurry. Since many drills revolve around limited viz, putting on one of these makes the clearest water a total blackout. I picked up a pair of neoprene blackout masks that I carry in a pocket on open water dives in case anybody wants to play.

    Aquabionic cetatek warp1

    First the good news: I really like the way they functioned - they were light, comfortable, and very maneuverable. They also could generate some serious thrust if you kick hard. I found they worked just as well for technical kicks as they do for flutter kicking around. I had no difficulty frog...

    FFM = dry eyes?

    I never really noticed this problem with my guardian, but I can absolutely see how it could occur. Just like people can complain about dry mouth after dives where you are constantly exposed to dry air from a regulator, you can have dry eyes from constant exposure to dry air filtering through the...

    Bailout cylinder options

    I like steel bailout while cave diving, because I carry a pair of cylinders and side mount them. In open water, are you also carrying a pair? If not, I'd think the only disadvantage to steels would be the increased in water weight having a tendency to make you list to the side if you're...

    (nearly) Hard earned lesson

    What dil were you running? Even if you were running air, your dil pO2 would only be about 1, so if you mashed on a dil flush with a rich pO2 in the loop, you aren't going to aggressively drop your pO2. If you had a few percent higher O2 in your dil, like the 23"ish" in your bailout, then you'd...

    Tank setup

    Well isn't that just elegant and simple? Funny how when I see something like this I always wonder - how come I didn't think of that?! I'm absolutely going to adopt this idea - thanks.

    Open Water Training at Blue Grotto

    Oh c'mon...what do YOU know about survey?! ...but seriously, since you probably already know the answer to the nearest millimeter, you want to save us the trouble? I know that math makes my head hurt by the afternoon... that makes 2 of us!

    Open Water Training at Blue Grotto

    Not if you're in the center and there's nothing above you, but you will get into some overhead at the outside edge

    Open Water Training at Blue Grotto

    Ken - let me start by clarifying something. I have ZERO problems with you or your training philosophy. In fact, I'd happily take a class from you, or recommend someone take a class from you. The reason I mention the overhead at Hudson is because I have been thinking a lot about different sites...

    Open Water Training at Blue Grotto

    So just to kick the hornets nest here...if you are hitting 135 at Hudson, you are absolutely under overhead...and given that there is zero natural light down there, technically there is no cavern zone.... That said, I would have no problem using Hudson for deep training, other than the fact...

    Adding butt dump valve to Halcyon Contour?

    I thought the lack of the butt dump would bother me on the halcyon, since the butt dump has long been my favorite way to vent wing gas in back mount - but so far, it really hasn't been an issue. In flat trim, I've found that rolling my shoulders a little to the right works just about as well as...

    L.p 85 or l.p 95

    It is for a certified cave diver who lives in high springs like @Caveeagle does...Especially if he was looking to see how said equipment functions in the type of environment in which the equipment would be used. Realistically, for a change like seeing how one set of tanks trimmed out vs...

    Deep Six Outfitters Eddy Fin

    So I picked up a set of the 2XL in soft, and finally got to give them a try on Friday. I did a nice long scooter dive at Ginnie, with the obligate off scooter explorations. I found that with a back mounted CCR and twin LP85 bailouts, there was no shortage of thrust while finning with the softer...

    Deep Six Outfitters Eddy Fin

    I just sent you guys a message about my order - I had ordered the soft fins, but I am thinking the harder ones are probably a better choice. Hopefully this can be switched out before the order ships? >>crosses fingers<<
