I am seriously considering using this as a replacement for my TG6 setup currently. Several members of my club use an iphone in a sealife housing w/ a video light as their camera setup, and I am hard pressed to really knock it looking at their results after our most recent trip to Beqa. I run a...

The check in agents for Fiji Airways place them on your bag when you check in for the flight. Interestingly, only 2 members of my group had their carry in’s weight on the return flight from Nadi -> LAX. My main carry on both ways was my GoRuck GR3 backpack (40L), and my personal item was a peak...

Random Miscellaneous stuff: You will somehow, against all odds, have cell service on Beqa and throughout most of the lagoon. Don’t ask me how. It’s some sort of Polynesian black magic voodoo. I have AT&T here in NJ, and I **** you not, I had better service on Beqa than to do in my living room at...

By the 3rd day, the weather broke, and it was 80°+ & sunny for the rest of the week. Obviously in the tropics you’d have the occasional sprinkle move through, but it never lasted more than 15 minutes. When it did rain, it would rain overnight - so if you had anything outside, bring it under the...

My group just returned from Beqa Lagoon Resort (literally - after just under 43 hours of travel I’m writing this as I wait for my laundry to finish in the washer) and we all had a great time. The resort itself was in good shape. My wife and I stayed in Bure #2, a beachfront villa. The rest of...

Attempt to clear up confusion #2 Rick’s hip belt (probably) vs My hip belt From what I can tell, the Rogue & Outlaw use the same socket system so these parts are interchangeable. I’ve never had the specific problem Rick has had. My problem is similar though since it seems to be an issue with...

This is my Outlaw setup. Should clear up any confusion. There is only 1 “double socket” per side on the outlaw. So you either choose the trim pocket accessory (limited to 2lbs per pocket) or the Surelock2 pocket accessory (I run 5lbs per side since I don’t use a wetsuit). The shoulder & hip...

Rick is spot on. It’s not the weight pockets themselves - those have a grey T-Handle use a more traditional slide lock to secure into the weight pocket “housing” (Photo 3) . The housing is then secured to the BC using 2 sockets (an Upper & Lower socket Photos 1, 2, & 4)). In my photos I have...

Jim, how was your trip to Ramon’s? Our group is considering a Belize trip for January 22. Currently Dive Haven is the destination, but the reviews I have seen (from 2020) don’t seem too favorable, and the lack of 2021 reviews anywhere is just odd to me. I am trying to lobby for Ramon’s on...

I've had a similar issue w/ my Outlaw, but with my weight pouches and not my waist belt. The weight pouches use the 2 snap design, but its far from perfect. I'm around the 100-150 dive mark on my Outlaw as well. Somewhere around dive #25 on it, I did my entry off the rear of the boat, and one...

Not sure if this reply is too late or not, but I did a day of diving the last time I was in St. Barth's (about 3 years ago). I used rental gear from the local dive shop that was set up right on the beach outside of town. The diving itself was fine. Smaller Boat with a Bimini shade. Pretty...

Ah - that “wish I had” was supposed to be “wish I hadn’t...” sorry for the type-o

Not complaining at all. I was blown away by the customer service of Mares. I wasn’t expecting anything along these lines. I dropped my Icon off assuming I would just be paying for a battery & some O rings; I did not receive my Icon back in time for my Bonaire trip, so I purchased an Aqualung...

So it turns out something was wrong with my ICON that went beyond a simple battery replacement. Upon returning from Bonaire, I had a voicemail from the shop and learned that Mares had upgraded my 8 year old Icon HD & Transmitter to a brand new, unopened Genius & Transmitter. I was not...

not a bad idea. I’m trying some 3mm scraps doubled over and cemented together, but they tend to rip easily. I’ll give the mask strap idea a shot

Looking for that piece of finished neoprene for use w/ the computer sans wetsuit.

Yeah looks like an easy $45 swap. I figured there would be an oring kit or something to go along with it. Now if i could somehow find a way to order a new comfort wrist pad!

I just dropped my Icon HD off at a shop for a once over. It won’t pair with either of my transmitters, and the last time this occurred it was due to the battery in the Computer starting to go. I’ve got about 500 or so dives on my icon since I bought it in 2012. I’ve enjoyed it without issue...

I gotta be honest - this forum is so far the only proof I have that this BC actually exists. I've been trying to get my hands on one here in NJ all year. My Aqualung dealer has been trying to get them in since May. Still nothing showing up here in the Northeast USA. I was hoping to grab one...
