I would caution everyone to wait and see what Garmin does with the Descent Mk2, if they even release it. I know the rumors say it has a larger display, it has Air Integration, but wait to see what features it has and how they have been implemented. AI concerns me as Garmin may choose to go the...

No a simple statement regarding watching our physical condition and address any health issues we may have. I made no reference to this specific case, but you seem to have linked them. I have no idea what happened here, and frankly, they may never release the exact cause of this incident. I have...

Everyone processes events like this differently. It was sad to see, and I am sure that it will be very hard on his family and friends. This should be a wake-up call for all of us to take our own health and physical condition more seriously. Deal with any health issues you may have, and if you...

Yes it did.

They needed to limit the divers in the water so they could move the boats in closer. Too many divers in the water and they could end up turning one rescue into two or more. I agree with you and was ready to go out and help search. The Incident Commander will make the decision on how they are...

Becca, for what it is worth. My co-instructor and I offered to join the search team. They were not allowing anyone in the water to search at that point. Had they not found him I suspect they would have probably expanded the search effort and drafted in some additional help to assist. So there...

I was down there with my Peak Performance Buoyancy class, but another instructor I know had her Open Water class elect to defer a third dive until Sunday. Not easy discussions to have with students at any level. We all need to take our physical condition, and any health issues seriously or...

Sorry, missed that. Worthingtons will make a great doubles rig. Wish I could have found a set of the X7120s when I was putting mine together.

If he ordered the tanks, they are probably Faber FX100s not Worthingtons. But yes I was talking about my experience with my FX120 doubles.

They are large tanks, the Worthingtons would probably be a better choice if you can find a set of used tanks. I see a lot of people diving the Faber LP tanks as doubles, though normally smaller tanks. I did not like the buoyancy of the larger LP tanks, so went with the HP120s which I already had.

I had a few issues with trim, and finally took a V Weight and cut off the top end. I install it flipped so all the weight is below the lower tank band. My trim is pretty good since doing that. I have no weight on the upper tank bolt. It is going to take a few dives to get the trim sorted out.

Tell me about, 7 dives on the Yukon the other weekend. I really felt the weight the last few trips up the boat ladder. Though they are only 10 pounds heavier than a friends doubles, and she has lp85s.

I just put together a doubles rig of Faber FX120s, it is a beast to beach dive with. I am 6'1" about 220, including my backplate I only need about 18 pounds of weight. I struggled a little with trim, and takes some trial and error to finally get it dialed in. I took an 8# V Weight and cut the...
