    Crotch strap that is adjustable DURING the dive (no quick release buckle if possible)?

    I dive a BP/wing (DSS backplate, Oxycheq wing), and I am very anal about having my crotch strap exactly the right length. Therefore I am searching for a crotch strap that I could adjust during the dive. I saw the Halcyon quick adjust strap, but I am not sure if this could be adjusted during the...

    DSS backplate and Oxycheq wing - do they fit together?

    I own an Oxycheq Mach V 30# wing, and I am thinking of ordering a DSS long pattern backplate, either steel or kydex, maybe even both. As I live in Austria, I would like to make sure they actually fit together before I order it - does anybody have any experience? I would not like to use a STA, if...

    Rubbing coke bottles to attract sharks - Opinions / Experience?

    What is your take on the use of plastic coke bottles (rubbing them, squeezing them) to produce sounds to attract sharks? Has anyone actually tried it, what are your experiences?

    Hello!

The trip went much longer than planned, and I ended up working as a DM in Borneo (Mabul, Sipadan). Now I...

    Actual size of rental tanks commonly used in SE Asia

    Hi, what is the actual volume of the aluminium tanks commonly used as rental tanks in SE Asia (especially Malaysian Borneo and Indonesia)? Are they actually 12L, or Al80 which would be about 11.3L, assuming 200 bar? Would be useful for calculating a more exact SAC/RMV. Thanks!

    Weighting question

    Hey guys, I'm a recreational warmwater diver with 180 dives, starting my route to divemaster soon. I'm 30 and physically fit. I am extremely foot-heavy, so after some experimentation I have found that I'm happiest with my horizontal trim with 2.5 kg on my tankband and 1 kg on my belt when...
