    SMB / Safety sausage deployment at depth

    I thought with the wording of my statement that it would be implied that you could NOT let go. Me thinking, if you could let go, why would you not? This is why it is difficult sometimes in forums to communicate or at least for me to articulate properly my meaning. Sorry I was not clearer to my...

    SMB / Safety sausage deployment at depth

    Interesting read Going at slight angle to post.... I normally carry small harness knife & shears, but now wondering would a small dedicated "line cutter" be good to have, at the ready, when deploying at depth? Anyone have experience where they successfully cut free from bag ride? Why do I...

    Not servicing my gear EVER!

    IMHO In one respect, I think service to a regulator is like service to many other things in life. If you have a lousy mechanic, he may cause more problems than it's worth to have your auto worked on. If you have an average mechanic, he may be ok with simple problems but if more complex, he's not...

    Your Regulator of Choice?

    I thought about it and will say, every reg I've rented or now own are all good reg's. Maybe lucky, don't know. I would tend to think all with only a few exceptions, which I don't know about are good. I was lucky enough to be able to borrow an older Conshelf 14 and was amazed at how well it...

    What did you buy that you regret?

    My first dive knife...... Many years ago I used to watch re-broadcasts of a TV show called, Sea Hunt. So when I decided to take up diving, of course I needed a Mike Nelson (Main Character) type knife. I since have given it away, so can't remember brand, but it was probably 2 feet long (just...

    A few gear opinions needed….

    Thanks for the replies.... Looks like positive responses for the scuba shorts so far. And I will look into the other shorts mentioned. I wanted the Y-Valve for redundancy & possibly same hose configuration for switching from single to doubles, Only one Burst & One neck O-Ring. Looks like...

    A few gear opinions needed….

    Thinking about a few items and would like any opinions or experience from usage. The first is a knife by gerber called the river shorty/blunt tip. The second are the highland dive shorts by XS-Scuba. The last is a question if any ¾” Y Valves (The kind with 2 dip tubes) are...

    Thanks Bubbletrubble....Yes will account for the at depth rate, again sorry I don't include more info, explaining everything in greater detail.

    "Also considering doubling RMV's for both divers in emergency situation", was again misstated, as I didn't add enough information, sorry.. But you did get at what I wanted, for an emergency ascent with buddy OOA situation. Yes other factors, safety stops etc. will be figured in, I was only...
