Own Aqualflite custom 3MM and a 7MM Farmer John 3 years now. As long as you give Ed Rodgers the right measurements, he'll give you a good suit. No complaints.

I have a Pro QD and will just relay my experience and hope it helps. Forcing you face forward is usually the result of overfilling your BC on the surface. Let in just enough air to keep your head above the surface and keep your fins out in front of you. I am also heavy. Those weight...

I use a plastic party tub that you put a beer keg in. Soak my neoprene in luke warm water with Aquaseal wesuit shampoo and leave overnight. When the boots get to stinkin I soak them separate in a 5 gal bucket with the same solution and add Listerine mouthwash. All the rubber gets hosed down...

I use an Aqualung Reg Bag. It looks small inside but, it does fit my Legend and Octo with a ProPlus 2 PDC. I do have a quick disconmnect on the computer and does slip nicely into the built in guage pouch. I can also pack my apeks ATX 50 rig with a Genesis 3- guage console on top of the Legend...

Here is another cusrtom maker to look at. Reasonably priced and quality custom suits. Aquaflite

First...thanks for the reponses. As for... My B-I-L gave us the option of fresh or salt. I have done dives with him on the Sea Fox in Clearwater and T.I. Divers over at Treasure Island. I had a good time with both operations and we can do one or both again. Also have done Crystal...

My son and I are driving down to Tampa for the weekend of October 6th to blow some bubbles with my diving brother-in-law who is a local resident. What's the best diving in the area this time of year? Head to the Gulf for a boat dive or hit some freshwater spots? I'm AOW and my son is OW.

I have a Genesis Tropic. Great warm water back-inflate BC for Aruba but, I'd look harder at using it with a 7MM wetsuit. Max integrated weight is 20 lbs. ditchable and 10 lbs. non-ditchable. 42 lbs. of lift on the bladder. Just have to be careful you don't push the envelope in a cold water...

Light for travel. Comfortable. Durable. Stable backplate. Double cam bands. Nice inflator. Simple design. Nice positive lock integrated weight system. Easy reach pockets. 4 SS bent D- rings. Big price tag BC features at a low cost ~$260. Definitely a nice warm water BC.

I have a Pro Plus2. Have 50+ dives on it. Never had a problem. I have the compass and quick-doisconnect hose coupling. Easy to program. Big screen big seller for me. On hindsight, I would have reconsiderd the compass. It does have the convenience of being there on the console but it is...

I own an A/L Legend and an Apeks ATX50. I do similar types of diving like you. Both regs have been solid. Nothing fancy and breathe sweet. I have ABS octos on both and given another shot might consider upgrading the octos. If you plan to go to a drysuit and extend your local season in...

The same as theskull with a Seaquest Pro QD and a 30cf pony. No problem.

SAT is a countdown time display for tissue desaturation . It is displaying the remaining time it estimates for you to off gas completely in HR:MIN. It is not telling you how long your surface interval should be unless you want to be in Pressure Group A. It activates automatically 10 minutes...

Don't underestimte the effects of neoprene compression in a 7mm wetsuit. Buoyancy jumps up at 1 ata. Likewise, when you compensate with extra lead you will have to watch your decent rate and use a little more air than you would normally like in your BC at depth. Its a compromise in a suit...

You might want to contact UTC Sports. They market the Riptide Zone II. Hope this helps. Good luck with your repair.

Personally, I own a Genesis Tropic for travel. I like it. Here is a link to a SCUBA Diving Magazine travel BC review you can browse. Good luck. Let us know what you end up getting and how it works out.

1. Strictly as a bailout. 2. Dive profiles below 40 ft. 3. On a cattle boat travelling alone without a buddy. I did notice some Northeast Atlantic Dive Ops where some boat captains are requiring a pony or doubles. See http://www.njscuba.net/

KUDOS NetDoc! A fine post above to put the board and the discussion in perspective for all. Nice piece of writing.
