    Flying with a JJ

Counterlungs, wing, regs, and light fit in my backpack so I can carry...

    Where to store items

    That is completely untrue. Any number of properly rigged stages should not interfere with access to your left pocket. If you are having that much trouble there is something wrong with the way you are doing it. You should be able to slide your arm between the tail of the stages and your body...

    Not trying to flame you or be a jerk. If your profile information is inaccurate you might want to update or delete it. Personally, I'm not into telling anyone how to get to places they don't belong and I'm just basing my comments on the information you put up. Regardless of your experience, be...

    Deckplans of the Spiegel Grove

    Yes, I've been through the ship's engine rooms and nearly all of the accessible passages on the lower levels, and all I'll say is that if your profile information is accurate and you are only an intro diver you do NOT belong down there, period. Even if you're full cave I would still recommend...

    DIR Compliant Regulator Setup ??

    This is not at all an extreme thing. I've done it a good number of times to clear out duckweed, etc. Not long ago I was doing an easy stage dive where when I picked up my stage it was breathing horribly wet. I switched to my backgas, took of the cover and reseated the exhaust diaphragm, which...

    Your idea of ideal twins

    I was just addressing the Tech 1-level dives you spoke of. I didn't mean to suggest that you should use 80s or shouldn't get the 100s. They look like a good choice, much better than 80s if you're using a drysuit.

    Your idea of ideal twins

    Dives within Tech 1 limits are limited by the volume of deco gas you are carrying, not your backgas. Both of the dives you mentioned exceed that limit, the latter by more than 50%. You will not need as much gas as you think, unless you are diving past the class limits. Generally, diving Al80s...

    Extra D-rings?

    A weighted BP without backmount tanks used for the upper portion of the deco. Deco bottles are the only tanks used. If you look at the picture again you can see there's no tanks. See http://www.gue.com/research/wkpp/gallery/gallery10_image11.shtml

    who sells scout lights?

    I did have a few pressure activations when I first got the lights. After I figured out that all it takes, at least with mine, is a 1/2 turn back from the point where they turn on to prevent both pressure activations and flooding, I haven't had another. I'd say mine have been 100% reliable once I...

    who sells scout lights?

    i've got about 400 dives on my pair of Scouts, no complaints so far. no pressure activations in about 398 dives, no floods, and thousands of feet of cave exited in vis as low as 3'. maybe I should replace them and get something more reliable.

    Opinions on drysuit dump valve placement

    Going through vertical restrictions when my arms are out in front of my body to guide my way through. It dumps every time since my forearms are the highest point. Having to pause midway through will cause so much gas loss that I have to close the valve. It hasn't been a problem in the ocean...

    Opinions on drysuit dump valve placement

    I've had a forearm dump on my suit for around 250 dives. It is easier to dump than the shoulder, especially if you're learning to use a drysuit, but is always hanging up on my stage bottles when I'm using the waist d-ring or getting something out of my pocket. Mine will even spin partially...

    $1.12/ft for shockcord? It should be about $0.25/ft for 1/4" at a marine supply store.
