    Are all crotch straps the same

    Cave Adventures makes a Y-crotch strap called "the scooter strap" for about $20. I've got a couple and prefer them.

    How I got Wife to switch to a BP/W

    She loves it. Agreed on color. I would like to see more grey/titanium type colors. My first trip down to Coz was with a OxyCeq fabric plate and OxyCheq 18lb Mach V Extreme wing, I have since changed to the more rigid OxyCheq Dog-bone SS travel plate (weighs about 2lbs) but I still like the...

    How I got Wife to switch to a BP/W

    Here's the OxyCheq STA... if she hates it, I'll have it blasted back down to satin stainless.

    How I got Wife to switch to a BP/W

    LOL. She would kill me. She's already not happy that all the pinks don't match. She has a Cressi Frameless Mask and Mares Quatro + Fins... none of the pinks match until you get 100ft down.

    How I got Wife to switch to a BP/W

    Not as bad in real life... really hard to get a good pic inside in the winter. To see the definition, color had to stay bright.

    How I got Wife to switch to a BP/W

    LOL. I think a black crotch strap against a black wetsuit will ultimately look better even if it doesn't match. I bought her the OxyCheq "dog bone" style STA but it's not attached in this pic. I want her to feel a difference and decide what she likes better. If you meant a "weighted STA", I have...

    You want a picture with the wing inflated and tank off?

    How I got Wife to switch to a BP/W

    My wife has been diving a Zeagle Lazer BC in cold water and a Zeagle Scout BC in the tropics for years. At some point she noticed how much smaller my gear packed up and said "why don't I have one of those". She also noticed how much less lead you have to pack on to a BPW. It wasn't cheap but I...

    USA made wings

    I just bought my wife a hot pink Oxycheq Mach V 30# wing from Cave Adventures. They are right down the road from Oxycheq so if they don't have the color you want, they can drive over and grab one like they did for me. Edd and Jay are top notch guys and salesmen, you may end up buying more than...

    How do you use a Crotch Strap

    If one-piece, I prefer the 1.5" soft webbing crotch strap (I think Dive Rite makes it). Otherwise I would rather have a split crotch strap, specifically the "Scooter Strap" sold by Cave Adventures HERE

    PLBs Can Save Your Life

    Is there a size or model number we could use to contact LM and order the same canister?

    Freedom Plate Divers Roll Call: show us your rig!

    I just ordered my wife some GripLock Tank bands from DRIS but haven't had a chance to even touch them. Very interested to see how you like them. Also, is your FP just painted? I thought about having mine CeraKoted once I get it (some day :( )

    Freedom Plate Divers Roll Call: show us your rig!

    You guys can email Tom from TOMSPRO at tomasz.stryjecki@gmail.com He got back to me quickly and sent me an English PDF list of his products and prices in Euro's. I takes bank wire transfer and also a payment app called Revolut if you have that.

    Zeagle Stiletto or BP/W?

    My wife has a Stiletto but she is sick of carrying so much lead. She saw my BPW and asked about it, then saw how little of lead I need to carry with a steel plate and told me to start buying parts. I'm sure that Stiletto is at least 5lbs. buoyant.

    Anti ScubaPro bias?

    I've bought a few SP things in the past but I don't really plan to in the future. As a small retail business owner, I despise their business model from a consumer standpoint. I prefer to do business with companies that focus on the customer/consumer through superior customer service, quality...

    Any reviews on the Deep Six wetsuit?

    I love the suit design, features and price, and I hate to be "that guy", but I can't do the orange trim. I understand it from a marketing perspective, but if you guys ever do an all-black or black/grey Ninja suit, I'll put my money where my mouth is.

    Do you carry a backup SPG to your AI computer? If so- check this out.

    I've had an SPG fail me in the past so when I do move to wireless AI, I'll be keeping my SPG clipped off on my left hip D-ring. Ever since the failure, I travel with a spare SPG in my Save-a-dive Kit.

    Question about air integrated computers and transmitters

    I wondered about this too. I was planning to keep my SPG on even after I transition to a Teric w/Transmitter... now I'm not so sure.

    Blue Angel or ScubaClub

    At no point did I mention "paying for them" was any part of the inconvenience. My goal is to change strategies on our next vacation and see if it has an overall positive effect on the experience.

    Blue Angel or ScubaClub

    To clarify, we are sick of the cab rides from 3P's in the morning to the Marina, then from the Marina back to the Hotel or Dive Shop after diving. We don't mind the cab rides around town.
