    1st Stage Questions

    Do all new first stages come with 1 lp port unplugged? And why? Bought a Deep 6 yoke for travel, and just like it's DIN cousins one port is open. Can't be a cost factor, 6 other ports have them. Should I plug the port for travel to keep it clean? Don't plan on using it unless my destinations...

    Used Gun Advice

    Have an opportunity to buy a used, older 48" free shaft AB Miller. Will need new bands and some tlc but looks good to my untrained eye. I'm female, 5'5" and it's a big gun. I have better than average upper body strength but, it's a big gun. Guy's wife said I need a 42. This will be for scuba...

    Want to put together another reg set. Currently have a DIN Deep6 sig 1st & 2nd, with an excursion 2nd necklaced, spg and transmitter. Never had a SP reg, the MK19 has my interest.

    Bend or Flare Bottom Corners of BP?

    Has anybody bent out the corners of their BP? After long dives I can feel the corners and notice some plates are designed with a flare of sorts. I have an unmarked SS plate (looks like a HOG) and there is not a lot of area to flare, it is worth it to try? Anybody notice a difference? Also, the...

    Anything you don't like about BP/W rig?

    I have a bad case of gearitis and am looking at bp/w's. (who doesn't like gear shopping?) See tons of pros about them, any cons? What about storage? I have items that live in my jacket pockets, gloves, lobster gauge, smb, reel. Don't always use them but I know they are there. Little bit of a...
