I'm planning my honeymoon travel and I've always thought at French Polynesia for it in August (6 days in Fakarava, 6 days in Rangiroa, 5 days in Thikeau and 6 days in Maupiti or Makemo + some days as stop-over in Tahiti). But now I'm in doubt... I'm an experienced diver (apneist, recreational...

Ooooh, now I remember how I was able to write these values in my logobook up to 2015... thank you very much CandiveOz for the refresh :thumb: ( Four years without dives :( .. too much time! )

Hello! :) After each dive, right after the surface is reached, I can see No-fly Time and Dasaturation Time on displays of my Scubapro Galileo Luna and Aladin Tec2G (counting down from an initial value). When these times end (remaining in surface mode), they disappear and there is no way to...

Thanks You all for the good replies... :) About number and size of deco bottles, I think all depends on the type of decompressive plan, "safety rules", team choices and so on... but deco bottles are a "bonded" choice. About bottom stage, instead, the issue is a bit free... Bigger back gas...

Thanks for suggesting me the Sidempount forum... it's a good idea! ;) About refill pressure, sorry, I've been a bit hasty... If I want it, I can find a refill-center able to refill my bottom stage at 220 bar... and I surely have to do it if I plan a demanding dive! In this case a S100 (with its...

Thank You both for your replies! As I've thought, bigger diameter could be a seious problem if I use a S100 as bottle stage... About buoyancy... I trust You when You say that S100s are really positive, but at the same time I'm confued looking at Luxfer S100 specifications (maybe because I'm...

Hi, is there anyone who can tell me how does an aluminium Luxfer S100 cylinder behave as bottle stage? As "behaviour" I mean how it lies during the dive, how simple is moving it, ... ( For example, talking about S80 cylinders, a Luxfer S80 behaves better than a Catalina one ) I'm going to buy...

Hi Jim thanks for Your fast reply... I've supposed that it was exactly as You've written... but I was also hoping that 2 trusted sellers don't tell lies so easily as I could imagine... :( I want to use a FSR + XTX200 on a bottom stage, but I prefer a DST instead of a FSR on a stage (better hose...

Hi to all, I've a fussy and annoying question about Apeks regulators... I've often read (across Scubaboard posts and in several other websites) that there are not remarkable differences among Apeks first stages, except for the hoses routing and the number of ports. For example, DS4 - DST - FSR...

About the size, I think that if You usually wear a standard size, then You will have to choose a SHORT-Size... When I've seen the 4th element size table, I would fall into the XL standard size. Fortunately I've read a useful topic on the forum and I've decided to order a XL-Short. XL-Short is...

I've just made a couple of dives with Halo 3D and a Trilaminate drysuit. The total time of each dive has been nearby 75 minutes in water always at 10° C (50 Fahrenheit degrees). Notice tath I've been still and motionless for all the dive time because I've do team exercises... I wear only a...

Hi, some weeks ago I've bought Scubapro Jet Fins in XXL size, but they are too large for me. :depressed: I've tried several rockboots, but I can't find one so large that Jet Fins XXL become ok: they are still too large! The Jet Fin XL or Divesystem Techfin XXL are too small. I could try the...

Hi, thanks for Your reply... You've guessed it: I've just finished a HID torch (canister + head). Obviously I don't use a Maglite torch, but I've ordered a customized canister and head from a torch manufacturer (who has test them at 15 bar pressure)... I've been involved in this project...

Hi, I'm building a homemade 50W HID diving torch. :cool2: I'm going to ultimate the torch :lightbulb:, but I've troubles with the reflector... I've got a wide beam reflector, but I need a narrow one... So, I'm desperately looking for a good metal / aluminium reflector for a 50W HID...

Thank You very much for Your replies! ;) @FWADIVER: I've send You a PM. If there is someone more who uses a HALO 3D, please PM me... :D In the last few days I've made some researches about the several materials used for undersuits... I've also tried a 400 g Thinsulate Undersuit...

Hi Steve, thank You for Your reply... What do You think about the Fourth Element HALO 3D ? :D

Hi, I'm going to buy a Trilaminate Drysuit (350 TLS) and so I also have to change my drysuit. I dive every weekend in lakes, even in winter time. During the bottom time, the water is neraby 5°C - 6°C (42°F) in winter time; in summer time the bottom water could reach the 10°C (50°F). The...

Hi, yesterday I've worn the italian version of Kallweit Laminat Xenon Front (350 TLS) which will be sold by Scubalandia store placed in Arese (Milan). The valves have a very very low profile, the drysuit junction is great, the zip is ok and the material is good (highly flexible and stong at...

Thanks... Jorgy has shooted the situation. Techincal Divers usually use a short HP hose (nearby 20 centimeters long) for the SPG of their pony tanks. I've laredy know that there are mini SPGs... But they are too small and the rotation possibility is not allowed... so...

First of all, sorry for my bad english... :depressed: The word "Manometer" I've used is a worng word and so I've jut modified it in "Pressure Gauge" in my first post... Instead of Manometer I would have written "pressure gauge". As pressure gauge I mean the standard instrument used to...
