Check out Seaskin in the UK. You can get a custom made-to-fit suit with p-valve and all the bells and whistles including import duty for probably about half of your budget. Definitely less than anything from DUI.

Been there, done that. But Wayne knows I can screw up anything if I try hard enough. I started years ago with eCCR on an Optima. I yearned for a hCCR and leaky valve. Eventually I got a rEvo, and learned that I hated the leaky valve. It's just because I didn't grow up with it. Pop to the...

Apeks is 3mm larger. Apeks is 36mm, SiTech is 33mm. If you have a valve other than one of those, it probably should be donated to the Smithsonian.

I am a proponent of several different issues. FFM use, especially in conjunction with comms, has the potential to save many lives. A gas switch block used with the FFM is another great safety feature, but does require diligence in making sure the active gas is appropriate for the depth. Quick...

Try Piranha. Double-Under-the-Counterlung-Dee-Ring-SR-RB2

I don't think the guy that taught me how to service my HOG regs would approve. ;-)

Yes I do. Since the battery is probably no good anymore and would be too expensive to ship overseas, I would suggest you check on purchasing a battery locally. I will send you the details for the battery.

I was told that he was diving a P2, having switched from his rEvo a little while ago.

The victim was an extremely experienced rebreather diver as well as ship's mate. He was a pleasure to dive with. Most rebreather fatalities are caused by user error. It would be surprising in this case, but certainly possible. RIP my friend.

A lot of people seem to be interested in what might be possible to get away with, like staying on the loop in a complete visual blackout by hearing a solenoid click. And agencies might differ in their teaching of how to do blackout drills. But every CCR course I know of from every agency and...

As I recall, about 10 years ago (before there was Tribolube) the most common O2 lube was Cristo. It had a tendency to dry and become hard and flaky. Dive Rite put out a bulletin urging Optima rebreather divers to NOT use Cristolube on their head and hose fittings. It was making the job of annual...

I don't think I understand the question. Why would you need a different hose configuration just to increase the size of a bailout bottle? And why would you need to run wing inflation from bailout? In a bailout situation, you won't need wing inflation unless you are in an overhead environment...

I agree with Andy. Russell should put up or shut up. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

That hex key is a critical piece of your dive kit. Get one and keep it with you. I'll bet it's the DIN o-ring on the back more than the stem or bonnet nut rings. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

Here's what I got for my XXL Slipstreams. Width 4-3/4, height 3-3/4, depth 9-1/4 at the base. My shoe size is 11EE, but I wear a drysuit with attached hard rubber boot. Your best bet is to find someone with a pair and try them because I think it's going to be close. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

Keep in mind that trim will be enormously different if you invert your tanks. Rebreather divers struggle with being butt heavy because of this. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

Thanks for the bump. Nobody wants to make an offer on 6 King Kong batteries and a great 8-cell charger? All virtually brand new? iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

Yes. You can dive monster tanks like LP120s or 131s and super size their capacity by overfilling every time. Or you can get a simple gas extender like the pSCR based GEM and use a single aluminum 80 to get the gas equivalent of a set of double 120s. There are ways to extend gas supply and take...
