    XS Scuba Quick Release Weight Pockets - 2 dives old

    I have a pair of these that I tried on my Zeagle ExpressTech. I used them on two dives in September and decided that I would prefer a regular weight belt or to get Zeagle's integrated weight solution. So, they are in mint condition and come in their original packaging. WB101QR - Quick-Release...

    My Zeagle Express Tech review of sorts...

    I'm 5 dives new until last week. I did my cert dives at Dutch Springs, PA and froze my a$$ off despite being in a 7mil and the feeling of needles were being poked into my face, then the rest of the dives were in the Keys where I used my 3mil, much better, despite getting sea sick and having to...

    Do or Not Do with Weight Pockets...

    I used my new-to-me Express Tech on two dives in Aruba recently. I outfitted it with a pair of XS Scuba Quick Release pockets. I took on 10lbs of lead in the pockets and no other weight. On the second dive, on giant stride entry, one of the weights popped out of the pocket. Fortunately, the...

    Travel Fins: What are you using to drop weight, but give good performance?

    I have Mares Volo fins. I love them, they perform awesome, but they are big, heavy and are open heal for boots - needing boots too. I'm headed to Aruba and am taking these fins, but I was wondering what else people are using successfully for tropical diving that weigh less, but provide good...

    Regs that you love servicing?

    I've been digging around to learn more about regs. I still need to buy the reg savvy books and such. My background is in automotive repair and RC model helicopter building. I've found that designs that have less parts can be easier to work on, but might also be less robust than more heavily...

    Aruba: Dive OPs who don't suck?

    I'm going to Aruba in September. I've read up on nearly every dive operator that is publicly listed. Not a one seems to have a reassuring positive history. Of the bunch that I found, it seemed that the least bad were Native Scuba and Dive Aruba. Native is slow or non-responsive to e-mails...
