Hi guys, Can you suggest what torque wrenches I need so I can tight correctly the hoses to my regulators. I have seen that in the manuals that they suggest a specific amount of tightness. I know that too tight might damage the first stage and if not enough time might be dangerous in water...

Hi guys, Probably a silly question but I was wondering. Can you get a lung overexpansion on the surface ? For example when you take a very very deep breath up to the point you cannot inhale more air and push it too the limits. I am asking just from curiosity. Thanks, Socc This thread was...

Hello, I was wondering how risky/bad is to inhale air from BCD/Wing. I got a new wing and the manufacturer says to rinse the inside of bladder after every dive. For this reason I have to manually inflate fully my wing with my mouth (I do not own a tank) for about 10 times to get the water out...

Hello everyone, I was looking to buy a BCD and some friends told me that the back inflated BCDs are really good once you get used to them. What are your thoughts on that since I am a beginner with not much experience yet. I was looking into the Apeks Black Ice and Scubapro Seahack. Will the...

For example the Aqua Lung Zuma BCD | Simply Scuba UK or the Scuba Pro Jacket Seahawk is relative cheap to buy a used one but I was wondering if I can also use it as an "everyday" BCD when diving in UK (2-3 times a month). Also, does it matter in what conditions you use it ? Mainly if it is cold...

Hello, I was wondering what exactly is the difference. I just read a manual for a regulator but I though there were only two types of ports, High Pressure ports where the SPG and Air Transmitters connect, and the Low Pressure port that are used by the BDC, Drysuit and Second Stages. Can you...

Hello everyone, Is the Scubapro MK17 G260 Regulator good for a beginner ? Is it ok to dive with it in the cold waters of UK ? Any other good regulators around at about the same price that are good for beginners and for cold water ? I would appreciate your help with that. Thanks, Socc

Any help in the topic stated in the title would be appreciated. Many thanks, Socc

Hello Everyone, I am quite new to diving and as many people around I am trying to figure out which dry suit should I buy. What features should the dry suit have for a beginner and why ? Is it better for a beginner to buy a dry suit that might be a bit more expensive rather that buying one that...

Hello everyone, Some days ago I was watching Monty Halls And The Divers' Graveyard. For those who do not know, it is an episode from a small series with dives called "Monty Halls And.." . What I have noticed, is that they were saying that after a certain depth you can become so heavy that even...

Hello Everyone, I am looking to buy a dive computer. Can you please share your experiences and/or knowledge you have about the two above computers. Which one you think is better ? Just to let you know, I would like to have air integration but is not a must for me. Also, two things that...

Hello everyone, I am quite new to diving but I want to get more involved into diving (currently I have the PADI Open Water and only a few dives). I have decided to buy my first diving gear which is of course a DC. After spending some time researching I found out that the Mares Puck Pro and the...
