    Why is a Jacket BC better than a BP/W?

    Yes i would also appreciate opinions of beginner divers that why do you think jacket would be the way to go? Or why did you think so when you were a beginner or how did someone explain to you that jacket is the best.

    Why is a Jacket BC better than a BP/W?

    No, that's the backplate/wing you're talking about [emoji5]

    Why is a Jacket BC better than a BP/W?

    Yes, only one I came up with as well. Really relevant only if unconcius, since modern bpw's are very close to your back and easily keeps you vertical with just a slight leaning back. The other common reasons i've heard are the quick adjustability for instructional purposes and the familiarity...

    Why is a Jacket BC better than a BP/W?

    Hi there folks! I am doing some product reviews and am considering writing an article of buoyancy devices. Please read and comment! My purpose is not to bash Jackets or praise any kind of equipment. I simply seek deeper understanding and well-grounded, reasonable and justified opinions. I have...

    chinese can lights

    The long canister might actually be quite interesting for my sidemount diving purposes and 10 degree angle sounds decent as well. Dris would shipping to Europe work through you or would that raise the price too much?

    Service kit supplier??

    Poseidon is usually quite strict in trying to keep spare parts out of non certified service techs. Their upstream regs differ a little from what many think is a normal scuba regulator. You should try contacting Sweden and tell them that your dealer pricing is being irrational. Tell them to tell...

    Thermalution Battery Powered, Heated Undershirt: A Product Review

    Yea 13lbs. I dive sidemount with no backplate and near neutral steel bottles so no heavy rig and I am not even full of it :) . For commercial diving I would probably go with thicker neoprene drysuit, they will stay warm even if punctured. I don't think dui or elite would be best options for...

    Probably saved myself $2K today

    Here in Finland I always tell my students that the best way to save money on a wetsuit is not not buy one and go get a drysuit. To us wetsuits are for travel. Some always keep on struggling with those awful thick uncomfortable neoprene armours until they either give up the sport, only dive on...

    Thermalution Battery Powered, Heated Undershirt: A Product Review

    Well I have a self donning self entry Ursuit drysuit. If I arrive in jeans to dive site, it takes 15 minutes to get in the suit. This is a pave where I do it slowly and casually while talking with others and putting up other gear as well. I don't know where you live bit here in Finland staying...

    Thermalution Battery Powered, Heated Undershirt: A Product Review

    Deep south sorry but I think you're crazy recommending 7mil wetsuits over drysuits, heated or not. I use drysuits even in reasonably warm water because they are much more comfortable, less bulky and a lot easier to don&doff than any 5mm+ wetsuit. I only dive in over 25celsius with my 3mm...

    Cold water regulator for octopus

    Same one as your primary is the best option. G260 is the best scubapro 2nd stage. R195 is okay as well for octo but it needs to be well tuned. - Mikko Laakkonen - I love diving and teaching others to dive.
