To test that you can remain calm underwater even without your gear attached to you. It dosen't have too much of a practical perpose other then that.

Have you considered useing a weight harness instead of a belt?

Miflex on my primary lp hose, just more flexible. Other then that there isnt a big difference.

1) BARE XCS2 Tech Dry. Only a half douzen dives on it so far. 2)Love the self entry, how flexible it is and my faviorite little thing on it is the pull tab for opening my zipper (not on the zipper but on the suit facing the other way). 3)I don't like the attached boots so much.

I know you don't think an open toe/ split fin will be able to propel you in fast current, and everyone says jet fins are magical. But.. I love my Atomic splitfins even in a current. Having not used jets i can't compare, but i have never had any issues with my splitfins.

I'm sure the high stretch silicone straps would hold up fine but an actual spring strap would be better IMO.

I have not used these fins but they are sold at the store I work at and they are pretty light (significantly lighter then atomic splitfins). I would assume that they would be nice to kick with but i have not used them to know for sure. Also i don't know how long the rubber "spring" strap would...

I have ten lbs. in each pocket and it dosent bother me, but i also use ankle weights to take some of the stress of my back/hips.

At that depth (even deeper and colder) the G250 will work exceptionally for you. The A700 does look cool but why spend more money when you don't have to.

Look good, you play good... But isn't nessisary.

For shallow warm water you probably don't need to spend the extra money. (From a cynical cold water diver)

And back to the question... As long as it passes hydro it should be good to go, especially since it was hydroed 5 years ago. I had a 72 that hadn't been hydroed for 20 years but still had air in it so i took it to hydro and it passed with flying colours. Great little tank for shallower dives

If your haveing a tough time equalizeing with the hood sometimes all you need to do is rotate your head so your ear is faceing the surface. Works for me.

If you bought the first and second stage at the same time as a single unit the serial number on the second should be the same as the serial number on the first. But i would look it over a lot before makeing and conclusions.

I haven't used the atomics in the Red Sea, but i have used them around Vancouver Island in Canada where there are some very strong currents. Even with full cold water gear these fins propel me with ease ( plus the spring straps make life easy)
