I got a US Diver's set back in 2012 and got certified with them and it was a constant struggle. Mask skirt was clear and too big, it leaked and had lots of glare. The snorkel was really hard and had a device that kept the snorkel dry. I wish I just threw the $30 towards an actual diving mask...

With a soft goodman handle you break one thread at a time until it falls apart. They are comfy though.

Ok so I'm 150 pounds. I've tried every weight configuration with bpw possible. Most comfortable is always no weight (steel tank Ss backplate). In a 7mm suit I use 8 pounds of lead shot in 2 out of 6 pockets on a weight belt with pockets. In my trilam drysuit I can get away with zero lead in the...

Some rolling toolboxes have a spot where you can mount a saw, that is where my tank rack is. If I am diving one tank it goes in the bottom under all the dive gear.

Moosehead Lake is a great place to dive. I have done about 50 dives there over the past four years. Shore diving the steamboats is not allowed, you will have to boat dive those. Mt Kineo is one of my favorite dive spots with a 90 degree 115 foot drop underwater on one half of the mountain. Join...

I run a length of bungee cord and metal ring between my plate and lowest chest D-ring. I clip to this ring under my arm and the top of my clip is tight against the valve. The bottom clip goes to either my hip or lower back D-Ring. I saw a post on here earlier this week where a poster came up...

Well put

I slipped and fell at Nubble 3 weeks ago. Maybe they could install stairs at this dive spot or at least a rope railing for divers.

I accidentally brought my phone on several drysuit dives over the past year. I wonder if it would be loud enough to hear or if I would be able to turn it off.

There was none. I have been there and to several other sites and only saw one fish.

For me it would have to be the vertical underwater rock faces in Moosehead Lake Maine. Formed naturally, possibly by glaciers. Most of them are in the middle of random stretches of water over 100' in depth. The founder of our dive group has the best video illustration of this sight so far.

The DGX 600 was great until I broke the supplied charger and goodman handle. I'm having a hard time finding a replacement charger I can trust.

It looks like they ran the rope between the light and the bolt snap a few times at the desired length. Then tightly wrapped the loops like somebody who is whipping the end of a frayed rope. And finished it of with a clove hitch. I personally use wire ties or key rings.

I've seen a few smb's with metal reflectors at the top. This was so that a boat equipped with radar would see it.

This must be why my middle fingers turn white during some dive in cold water when wearing 5mm gloves. Maybe the the strap on my gloves was too tight. I have never had this problem when wearing dry gloves.

I got really lucky with my Dive Right 905 which I paid $500 for on Craigslist. I was ready to buy a brand new suit until I found the one I use now.

When I do wear the gopro on my head I put the hood over my headstrap so it doesn't slip off of my head. I am not a big fan of wearing my gopro on my head, my videos usually come out better when I hold the camera.

I am a little worried about my wetsuit touching anything in storage. My suit got crushed in a few places where it came into contact with my regulator and BC on my dive gear rack.

These are great points that I haven't seen considered in a lot of pony tank threads. I know now that I need to practice diving with it more. Since I do not breath off of the tank but carry it for a redundant air source ( not using it for gas planning at all) I never considered the tank's...
