    Any value sucking on your EAN tank during ride back to the dock?

    Curious if there is perceived or real value in sucking on your reg during SI or on the way back to the dock, if dives were on EAN? I mean I don't get a refund on any air left in the tank. I know NDL on my DC is not going to gain any advantage, but I assume I myself am going to gain from it? are...

    Wondering who was Mares old wetsuit manufacturer?

    I had the older generation Mares Reef 3 which was an awesome wetsuit, used for about 5yrs 450+ dives.. it lasted really well, thread bare but never fell apart.. I loved that suit.. I believe it was manufactured in Bulgaria? I got one of the new ones (changed design/supplier from 2018?), in less...

    S110 to G7X upgrade

    I currently have an S110 + inon s2000, and have been looking at the G7X as a possible upgrade. I am mostly ok with my results currently but would like to see an improvement in sharpness and definition. Am I going to see a marked improvement with the G7X or would the improvements be marginal...

    Mares wetsuit size in asia vs. usa

    I purchased a reef3 in Asia, the size is marked as #4. It seems sizes in the US are listed as S/M/L/XL/etc. at least online. Are wetsuit sizes sold in Asia (taiwan) the same as those in the US? or different? or are suits in the US also marked 2/3/4/5/etc? and the same size? By my reckoning a #4...

    Epic2012 w/cold water kit vs. without

    I understand the Epic 2012 sealed/cold water kit are the same thing. Does having the sealed version make it a 'better' regulator regardless of water temp? for instance if diving in water which will not go below 60F all year round? or would having the cold water kit in warm water be potential...
