I can report improvement in my success rate too. Back from two weeks of cave diving. Dove 12 days, took only 2 rest days from usage and still only had two failures, one minor and one major. This is phenomenally good for me! I think I am finally getting there! Both failures also occurred after I...

I hear what you are saying. I have tried it both ways. I did not use baby oil first and I left things stand more at some point, I tried the 'just rubbing' and then I tried different products. I find the Remove pads absolutely cruel too, and I never do them unless I am stepping in the shower -...

I get some irritation from shaving too so I avoid doing that every day. And I like the better adhesion with mini-stubs :D It's a fine balance.

One comment to that... I have noticed that for me it's generally good to take a break about every 4th day of use, sometimes even every 3rd if diving 2 weeks in a row. For example, when I am on cave trip, I tend to make a She-P plan. I scheme what days I can afford a break and what days I def...

I've done it, two tanks on each side but one of them was always a deco tank...

I always have/had one piece webbing with my BP/W and have no intention on changing. However my Nomad Transpac for side mounting has 'comfort' buckles. They irritate me so much that once the harness has worn enough they will go. The buckles always seem to end up in odd spots and move and as I...

Found a version of this series on youtube that has English subtitles added. Some of you might enjoy viewing it. The program follows a group of young soldiers through their year-long training to become combat divers for Finnish Navy. First 3 parts are the pool and fitness season before the...

There has def been some changes with border crossing in general this year. Every trip (I think I've been over 4 or 5 times) it has taken me longer to sit in line on the Canadian side vs US side. This is unheard of. We always try to plan so that we come back so that we avoid the busiest times on...

I have zors too and they are going strong into their second year. For me they are strictly summer undies. I wear them when water is in 70F or when I only temporarily dip into 60s. With adding a 200gr vest I can get more but generally I tend to use the pants a lot and just swap into thicker top...

Hee. I have to say that I had way less of my sense of humour when I had the original problem with the p-valve vs this piddling problem with the She-P giving up now and then. The original problem was easier fix (POS check valves) but it meant I leaked on my thigh and ... well.. smelled it ... and...

Have you ever been able to replicate the leak on land? As in if you hook everything on except glue the She-P on - then push water through. You can probably get enough pressure by using syringe and directing it to the neck part of the She-P. Can you pinpoint the trickle? I know you can't take...

I do not like the sloshy feeling and possible dribble from p-valve either. When I come up from water I usually stop on ladder or shallow water, and squeeze the She-P (gently of course) against my body and try to empty most of the reservoir. Then I close the bolt on my p-valve so pee does not run...

I cannot believe how often I hear people proudly announcing how they dived for all the money’s worth and surfaced with 200 or 300 PSI in their Al80. Yes it might just be a local lake charter but there are half a dozen things I can think of going wrong. Leaving aside non-immediate gear...

What kind of local diving is available to you? What kind of buddies? Like others have said it's time to scale down. Not the diving but the complexity. If I understood correctly what you said, you have been diving for a year and have <100 dives, a lot of those course dives - and now you are in...

Now I don't feel so bad reading these reports. My DUI TLS zipper was replaced after less than 3.5 years and 300+ dives. I strongly felt it was not the zipper even though there was some fraying going on. The teeth were in excellent condition and the zipper functioned as it always had, it was...

I know this has been beaten to death in more than one thread already but obviously my lazy self is not letting go. We had one of the local shops require that everyone PERSONALLY come pick up and sign their tanks. This meant that even when they knew that spouses, family members and buddies came...

Thanks Herb. Console shipped out today, hope your grandson enjoys it! Now I gotta figure out how to lock this thread... Well I figured out why I could not close it earlier. I posted this in Equipment forum instead of Classified, so the closing button is missing. Duh. I will ask mod to move it.

I offered for sale Cressi 2 Gauge Mini Console in another thread. The OP did not buy it but I got several other PM:s and am still getting some. Hopefully this is not against rules but the console is now sold. It was like this for $50 and I only had one Cressi Mini 2 Gauge Console Thanks for...

I'd tend to agree with munsell's reasoning. You gotta decide if you were doing this for fun or if it was a job (and also think if you should be taking these gigs and what risks it entails). I know guys locally who do these jobs and their deal is such that everything is agreed beforehand because...

Hey, I have this Cressi mini console that I have not used for ages. I think one of the windows is a bit scuffed up but functionally there is nothing wrong and one can see everything just fine. See the info from the page below and let me know if you are interested. It has a hose attached to it...
