It does. I do it all the time.

Can confirm that DGX wing does work on the DSS plate with no STA required.

Living in the tropics, I still wear one. I don't wear a hood, but will always wear a suit. I had a remora get way too friendly with my bare leg in Belize a few years back. Didn't hurt me, but that's a weird feeling and experience I don't want to repeat.

This (although MUCH less bad) happened to me on my very first out of OW class dive. The mental stages you go through are weird. I was in Belize where I got my OW. I finished my class and the next day wanted to go out again. Got assigned an instabuddy who was there on vacation, talked for a...

We did a few days in Cyprus a little while back. Unfortunately the weather wasn't good enough to do Zenobia. The boats will not go out if it's blowing from a certain direction. We did shore dives instead. They were great. There isn't really a "reef", nor an abundance of wildlife, but the...

#4 looks like a sailfin tang

I had this problem on an octo when I went from rubber hoses to Miflex a few years back. Apparently not all hoses and second stages are created equal. I couldn't for the life of me get it to connect and be able to rotate. I finally called the manufacturer and they told me that some hose...

Here In Florida pineapple is the norm on almost all the boats. I agree it really helps cut the salt taste after the dive, and is very cheap down here.

You have my attention. How is this done?

I am going to start tech diving soon, and am working on putting the gear together. I really like this stuff. I will be getting a doubles kit most likely. I have some very petty but still important (to me) questions. I found D6 stuff off the DGX site and saw the line they sell there. I would...

I have major problems with this. Every car I have bought in the last few years will not allow the FOB to be locked in the car. The locks simply wont engage. I don't have the push button proximity system either. It just knows that the FOB is in the car. I wish there was a way to take the FOB...

+2 for just removing the hose.

You're correct. People should practice with it, and think about how they will use any device they have. I hold it with my left hand and use my right shoulder dump. Works fairly well. Although I will say that if you have to let it go it will stay in your mouth underwater. Not too comfy on...

I was thinking of an actual course not an outfit who teaches OW divers with 12 dives to dive a wing and doubles but I didn't specify that so touche'. The quote you pasted is nonsense. Most newbie divers I've worked with spend more time looking at their SPG then they do at the reef, we train...

I don't necessarily agree with this. If you know of advanced classes or classes to dive doubles for $200 please point to where. That being said, I am the OP on this, and now I have dove with one for a year and around 100 dives on it, I think i can better chime in on this. I still carry it...

IF you go OOA at 100' and you are relying on a Spare Air, you deserve to be in deep crap. No one in this thread advocated using one that deep. Not only that the thing has stamped all over it not to be used that deep. Do you normally ignore safety rules put on to dive equipment by the...

I think that is a perfect way of putting it. :)

That would be better for someone with a lot more experience to answer. I know that when we are EAN certified they drill in your head that you cannot put EAN into anything that isn't cleaned and rated for it. That was what several divemasters that I talked to answered when I asked that same...

Now that I have dove with it, and practiced with it a little. I have to disagree with some of the stuff said. I agree that it is not designed as a pony bottle. But I had no problem with it running out of air from recreational depths to a controlled ascent with a small safety stop. I tried...

Hey all, I recently got a spare air "pony" and I had a question for dive shop owners or anyone who has filled one. They fill off of a fully charged cylinder. I normally rent my tanks and own everything else. But if I rent a tank and use it to fill this, it will not be full anymore. Can the...
