Helium dive makes titanium ones, and Agir Brokk makes aluminium ones. Lightweight but more difficult to break!

Awesome, thanks!!

Hi Eric, It's been a long time but I messaged you Sept 12, 2011 about an aluminium plate (You were using "ZKY" as your username at the time) I'm still interested, could you add me to the list for a small aluminium plate please? Thanks a lot!

Check elios wetsuits. Custom made to your measurement with top quality japanese neoprene, and very reasonable price. I prefer a 2 piece beavertail model with integrated hood, like a freediving suit for the comfort and warmth, specially with an unlined interior. Sounds complicated, but if you...

Even if sidemount is rare what would prevent you from using sidemount?

looks pretty nice!

Or just use a fusion one which is very cheap and comfortable and repair/buy a new skin if you ever damage it. I bought my fusion one from a dealer, brand new for 700$ all in. And that's canadian dollars. If you ever get to the point of doing dives where damage to you drysuit would be very...

I dived komodo with a 18# mach V and it was perfect with a 5mm+steel backplate. Unless you are grossly overweighted you'll be fine. :cheers:

My ultimate goal would be to pack my full diving kit + full travel kit (clothes, toiletries etc) in a carry on bag + personnal bag, with the carry on being at 7kg.

I have the last Huw porter plate he sold (i believe). Its really really nice and low profile, perfect for single tank but might be a bit shallow for doubles as tbone1004 said.

Saw them last month in Moalboal and there were many (20 maybe more) doing the mating rituals on one patch of coral. Could see them as long as we wanted, after about 15 minutes I had enough. Didn't know it was that rare...

No worries Ron, just wanted to be clear that I'm not recommending anything. :):cheers: I'm also adding a picture I've already shared somewhere else here, to show how simple/streamlined it can be.

Just to be clear, I didn't recommend anything. I just answered the OP question, and gave 3 different options. The question was: At 50 dives + specific sidemount training, single tank sidemount is a perfectly fine option for a travel diver. At less than 3 pounds (no kg, #s!) complete...

There's been many different variants to the design, specially to the tank rail/support. There's also been a few aluminium plates, and different finishes for the SS ones. I've had 2 different models, sold one and kept the version with a "U" shaped tank rail bolted to the SS plate. I sandwich the...

I think some of the "emotional" responses come from people that are tired of seeing new divers sold very expensive bcd's when a cheaper bp&w would have been better. One of the reasons many LDS don't sell bp&w is because they don't make as much profit as with the big brands jacket bcd's. I...

I too have extremely wide feet, and to make it worse they are short too (sz8). For some reason it looks like people with longer feet are easier to fit. I tried most of the suggestions people have made over the years. Chuck Taylor's, my feet don't even fit inside the shoes. The poseidon...

Wetpup, thanks for the review(s). I might go to both Malapascua and Anilao in the next couple of months, It's always interesting and informative to read recent reviews. Thanks for sharing your pictures too :thumb:

Thanks, found what I needed from DGX (I guess they found some parts? They are not on their website anymore) and some other parts from Divers Supply, who had good prices and superb customer service.

I could bet money I know what is happening. Many have said it already but many others don't understand it: In a drift dive it doesn't matter how big or heavy you are, you will go at the same speed than the current if you're not moving. Once you accept that, you have to look elsewhere to find...
